A beautiful 3-bedroom home tucked in the woods, long walking distance to Downtown Friday Harbor! Short walk to the Beach! Enjoy the best of both worlds in this secluded, forest-surrounded home, while also being just outside of Downtown! (Turn Point Retreat).
This house is ideal for your family adventure to San Juan Island! This lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is spaciously surrounded by fresh evergreen trees with much filtered light throughout the house.
Offering a bathroom on both levels of the home, plus 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs (plus an office with a futon), this house is spacious enough for two families.

Enjoy preparing your meals in the spacious kitchen and unwinding with family around the dining table. Catch a peek-a-boo view of the sunrise off the front porch while sipping your morning coffee among the local wildlife and ample deck furniture.

Less than half a mile away is Turn Point Beach, a perfect spot for beach combing, tidepool exploring, and the occasional orca whale spotting.

Downtown Friday Harbor is only 2 miles away, making this home a convenient spot for those desiring the seclusion of a PNW forest and the close proximity to town!

The easy access to downtown Friday Harbor will be a breeze for dining, shopping, catching a tour or shuttle, or just swinging by the grocery store. Cyclists will find the Turn Point Road loop a scenic 4-mile (roundtrip) bike ride (bicycles not provided on-site).

Other nearby attractions include Jackson Beach, LaFarge Open Space, San Juan County Fairgrounds, the Saturday Farmer's Market at Brickworks, the Port of Friday Harbor Marina, and the delicious restaurants of Friday Harbor.

    The home was spacious and comfortable. It was clean and well-maintained. We enjoyed the added convenience of being able to checkin several hours early. Once the house was ready, we received a text letting us know. This was really helpful since family arrived earlier than expected!

    wanted to spend the weekend with my daughter who lives on the island. Brought my family. The kitchen is perfectly equipped to host. The house is nicely decorated. It feels like a five star hotel.

    Our three generation family loved this home! The playhouse outback was a hit with our grandchildren. The close proximity to Friday Harbor made trips to town easy and we walked to turn Point Country Park and spotted an eagle! A fabulous place to stay!

We traveled to do a celebration of life for Grampy K, a well-loved former resident of San Juan Island. EVERYTHING for our stay was perfect. Sun shine, beautiful boat ride and yes, even whales! The Turn Point Retreat was a respite of healing for our family. Thank you Erin and Chris!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Turn Point retreat was a very nice place for our family gathering. The kids loved the playhouse. It accommodated 8 of us comfortably by using the office as a bedroom. Our only complaint is that the cold water faucet in the office did I not work. When we called to have it repaired we were told it has been that way since the house was purchased. The house would work best for 8 people if the sink in the office was fully functional. Also, Turn Point beach is really not accessible. There is about 20 feet of rocky edge. The other beaches there are private.

    What a wonderful home! It was perfect for our family, and we enjoyed every minute we were there! We arrived after dark, and the home was well-lit and inviting. The beds were comfortable, and we were able to prepare several meals in the well-stocked kitchen. We loved sitting outside at the picnic table. If we return to Friday Harbor, we will book this property again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fabulous weather, accommodations and location. Our girlfriend group of 6 take an annual trip and this year was one of the best! We rented e-bikes for the day and headed all over the island with lunch at Roche. We started our morning by brewing coffee and sitting outside on the deck. Eagles in the trees and a deer out front was just part of the charm of this location. The house had everything we needed as we even made dinner Saturday night and the supplies were abundant. LOVELY place to stay; highly recommend it.
