In Downtown Friday Harbor!

The Artist's Suite is a lovely, ground floor, studio suite. This unit is equipped with a queen bed, 3/4 bath with a walk-in shower, kitchenette and a sitting area. In the bedroom area you'll find a Smart TV for streaming services. This suite is furnished with everything you need, including a romantic propane fireplace.

The Carter House is one of Friday Harbor's first important historic homes. Built in 1911, it was a wedding gift for a wealthy merchant's daughter. It has been beautifully restored. Located in historic downtown Friday Harbor, it is only 3 blocks from the ferry dock and Port of Friday Harbor.

The blocks surrounding the Artist's Suite offer many delicious restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, ice-cream shops and art galleries, all within walking distance. On Saturday mornings the local San Juan Island Farmer's Market is a 5-minute walk from the Artist's Suite!


This Unit has great cell phone reception and Wi-fi. However, San Juan Island is a remote location, and it is good to keep in mind that intermittent, short, Wi-Fi disruptions are very normal for this area.
This Suite does not have Air Conditioning.

    Place was very cute and quaint. Honestly no issues other than the shower is absolutely awful. The water shoots straight back at the wall and gets water everywhere and it’s so hard to actually wash your body. Other than that - perfect spot for a 1-2 night stay.

    Could use a couch/loveseat to have somewhere besides dining chairs or the bed to sit. There was a CONSTANT swooshing sound, definitely NOT from the wind. The shower was the worst I've ever experienced. Could not even wash my hair. The pressure was good but the shower head itself (water saving) created such a wide spray of water you couldn't get out of it, but also didn't provide enough concentration of water to properly wash/rinse anything. The tiny little streams it created felt like needles piercing the skin.

    This house is perfectly located just a few blocks from the heart of Friday Harbor. We enjoyed the nearby shops and Saturday market.

    We stayed for 5 amazing days in this home. The location was perfect for all our walking needs downtown. No need fo stress over parking! The home was clean and had everything we needed, even a scrubber to wash our dishes. We will be staying here again next summer!

    It was very nice staying at the Artist's Suite. We were there for the weekend and this place was very close to down town. We ended up walking whenever we wanted to do something. The parking spot does have some big rocks around it (part of the retaining wall design) and made parking my box truck a little tricky. I ended up just parking on the street and it was fine. Minus 1 star because I found several hairs in the bed before getting in. I am sure it was clean but this is really my only phobia. If I could give a bonus star for the management company, they were great. Emailed the directions for entry several times and even called after I hadn't checked in yet to make sure I didn't need anything. A very positive stay overall!

    Came to San Juan after not being to the islands in at least 15 years. Purpose was to visit a fried that had moved to the island about 5 years ago. A treat to come to the island of San Juan and visit our friend. Artist Suite VRBO is an excellent location for walking downtown but being away from some of the noise and activity when you want.

    Great location, good size, but the heater wouldn't turn off so we couldn't sleep well. Fans and open windows couldn't keeo up vs the heater. The pillows were also very stiff and uncomfortable.

    This place is great! It’s just far enough off the main area of town to be quiet, while still being a 2-10 minute walk to most places in Friday Harbor. Everything was clean and nice. The mattress was very comfortable.
