Studio with a View!!

Great cozy little place for a get away where you can just sit and listen to the waves and enjoy the view. We stayed 4 nights and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants to get off the beaten path, but still close to town for peace, quiet and relaxation.

We really had a wonderful time on San Juan Island at the cottage. It is idealistic and restorative all the same. If you are thinking about booking, our vote is go for it!

This was a beautiful property for our Thanksgiving getaway. The cottage is small, but comfortable. Amazing views to the water through the Madrona trees. Truly, it was just right.

Overall the cabin was good. Some of the things that were inconvenient was that the window directly behind the bed was open and not private. Since there was no head board it felt exposed. We had to cover it ourselves with butcher paper. The TV is a monitor and was right next to the bed making it difficult to watch. Lastly, the Internet was very weak and it made it difficult to stream anything. With that being said it was a nice getaway.

We loved our long weekend here. This studio is cozy and charming. Very clean and comfortable. We spent our days out exploring but came back in the evenings and sat in the chairs overlooking the cove. Beautiful view. The owner was on-site in the house next door and replaced the coffee pot that a lot of reviews mentioned. Working coffee pot now! Very friendly owner but not intrusive.

My husband and I stayed three days. The property is exactly how it is represented in pictures. We loved it. It is an artist studio converted into a cottage. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. We liked being away from town. It was so quiet and peaceful. Sitting on the lounge chairs staring at the ocean was more relaxing than words can convey.

Lovely cottage on water. We enjoyed our stay on Friday Harbor.

Beautiful and romantic cottage with incredible views. Great place to enjoy coffee with a view. Unique, fun and memorable. A few items need attention such as new coffee maker, a new hair dryer. Overall, a great romantic getaway,

This place is amazing! The location and view would be hard to beat. The space was geat for the two of us and it was very comfortable. Our stay was wonderful and I really wish I was still sitting out by the water watching the boats and seals.

Beautiful setting! The studio was cute and cozy and almost perfect for our 20th anniversary trip. The view is incredible and easy to enjoy from inside the studio or from the chairs overlooking the bluff. The full front wall of windows, and matching sunburst window behind the window are quite a focal point, but also the reason that I can't give this a full 5 stars. There were no curtains for the front and back windows of the main room. This means that sometime after 4 am when the sun rises the studio fills with sunlight. Had I known I would have brought sheets or something to try and block some of the sun. Sleep past 5am was challenging given the brightness of the light. The lack of curtains also led to a lack of privacy. We knew before going that this was a shared property with a main house just behind, so we expected there to be other people around. However, with the lack of window coverings we had no way to create privacy within that close setting. We had someone weeding just behind the studio one afternoon with a clear view in the back window. We also had a repair person working behind the studio and then come up on our porch and knock on our door to check in with us. With no front curtains and the bed right there...thankfully it wasn't more awkward than it was. Even with the lack of curtains and privacy and the early morning light, we still really enjoyed the studio. The kitchen was well set up, we enjoyed the TV and fun movie collection, and the convenient location was perfect. We would stay again as long as we brought curtains with us.

We had a lovely time! The location could not have been better for us. The view was amazing! Some people have complained about the planes, but they were not bothersome to us at all. I would recommend this place and would stay here again. Thank you for sharing this cottage with us!
