Friday Harbor, Washington
Nantucket Style with peak-a-boo water view.
This newly listed 2 bedroom (plus a futon room), 2.5 bathroom house located close to Kanaka Bay is a perfect getaway to relax and rejuvenate on San Juan Island.
This charming house features a fully stocked kitchen, two outdoor decks and a 0.25-acre lawn. A gas BBQ is available to cook Westcott Bay oysters while watching the sunset from this west-facing house. Enjoy the lovely view with your morning cup of coffee, and possibly spot some whales from the private primary bedroom porch.
The living room offers a simple and cozy arrangement to relax together after a day of exploring! An array of books is provided, or the comfortable seating is perfect to curl up as a family with a movie.
The layout of the two bedrooms upstairs makes it feel as though there are two primaries with separate bathrooms attached. This makes it ideal for two couples with a possible younger traveler as well. The top of the landing opens up to a small office area, and just past that is the futon room. (Privacy offered with a curtain partition.) The primary queen bedroom with en-suite bath is to your right, while the other primary king bedroom with en suite bath is to your left. Both offer beautiful views through the picture windows.
This home is perfectly situated down a very private road just a few miles from downtown Friday Harbor. The rest of this 1.5 acre property is covered with lush, naturally growing vegetation, which adds to the feeling of privacy. Bring your bikes to travel from the property out to the famous Westside Preserve and Lime Kiln Lighthouse, which is a great spot for a sunset cocktail with a chance of seeing some whales, porpoise, Harbor Seals, sea lions and bald eagles!!

It would be nice to have for first morning to enjoy the outside decks. It was a little off the beaten path but not knowing the island we weren’t sure if it’s location to everything. Still a great stay. The owners take very good care of the property.

It's a great launching spot to explore the islands...down a winding road, quiet and private. Clean, good location, nicely appointed. Only drawback - the water view is pretty small and from the second floor (stated in listing). Overall we recommend this house!
We loved our stay. Very nice rental with all we needed. Loved the seaside touches throughout the cabin and had all we needed. Thank you for sharing yor home!

Reviewer Comments: I’m tempted to tell the world that this vacation rental is a horrid shack and infested with gremlins, just so that we never have trouble booking the house ourselves! In reality, this charming home is just perfect! Large, clean, well-thought out. We loved that the multiple porches allowed us to find or avoid the sun, depending on our moods. We can’t wait to go back and stay longer!
Gorgeous house, clean, spacious and comfortable. It was easy to get to. A car is a must. Thank you for sharing your home. We had a great time on SJI.
Great house with well-stocked kitchen, comfortable rooms and nice back yard for game playing. The location was great, but a little far down a dirt road, other than that, perfect weekend getaway!
Great house to stay at with family. Private lush backyard, great for running around and sitting on deck in the sunshine. Fully stocked kitchen with olive oil and spices, every utensil you could need. Perfect space for family with two bedrooms with en suites, and then an alcove with full bed, nearby where my daughter slept. The only thing was no window coverings in alcove and only light filtering shades in bedrooms, so if you’re used to blackout shades, you or your children might be awake at the crack of dawn. :-D Ideal location- 15 mins from Friday harbor, 15 mins from Lime kiln, where we attended a wedding, and maybe 20 mins to roche harbor.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean. Every item you might need is there for you. Super comfortable bed and the bathroom situation is perfect for the sleeping arrangements. If you are looking to sleep in late this may not be the best place. The windows in the bedrooms lack any coverings. I really think the owner should possibly think about providing some blinds. Minor complaint. We used the kitchen for all of our meals and it is well put together. BTW fantastic towels. Quit and with lost of wildlife. Enjoyed the nightly visits with the foxes. Enjoyed our stay and would do so again if we visit this area another time.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed with another family. Very nice secluded stay. Rooms were great, backyard was ideal for keeping little toddlers in line.Location was not the best, you could see the water but no easy access to it. Also on the south side of island so 15 min drive to Friday and Rouche Harbors. Very quiet however, didn't even see neighbors.
The house was bright, airy and very clean. We’ll equipped kitchen and nice outdoor seating and barbecue area. One thing to note is this house does not have access to a beach even though it is across the street from the water.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful weekend stay. Kanaka Bay Cottage is a lovely home. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is great for lounging and relaxing. We prepared several full meals and had everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. Everything is clean and bright. This is a gem!
Very nice property in a good location. About 10-15 min drive from ferry. Place was clean and had all needed amenities. The only thing that bothered me were that the cleaning people were there waiting for us to leave at 10am… I wish they would give like a 10 minute window just so you don’t feel rushed out even when leaving on time. That is a small critique, overall this place was wonderful and I would stay again.
