Edie W. Oct 27, 2025 02:46:22 AM
Summary: The Suite was very clean and spacious. Having a second room with lovely woodwork, table and chairs, a microwave and mini fridge was a real plus. It comes complete with an electric fireplace and two comfortable easy chairs for reading. The suite is within walking distance of the whole downtown area, and yet is very quiet. Being in old house, we could hear the footsteps, but not the voices, of guests in the room above ours.

Summary: Everything was very clean & cozy. Perfect location for Friday Harbor - 5 min from ferry. Not far from other parts of the island you’ll definitely want to explore. Walking distance to town for food & shopping.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the suite very much, and appreciated its atmosphere. Very convenient so close to the heart Friday Harbor. And we absolutely loved the charm of the suite.The only inconvenient aspect is the combination kitchen/bathroom sink which is awkward - even if we understand that the remodel of an older house led to the final design.
