Great place to base your San Juan visit.
Perfect layout for our 3 couple/3 generation family visit, with the guest house just on the other side of the deck. The views are amazing! You might see 2 deer peek in your window or a sea bird float past on a log, drying its wings. Management company was quick and helpful. Property address was well-marked so we found it easily after dark. Nice to have the beach access, we brought an inflatable stand-up paddle-board and explored along the coast.
Very close to town. Beautiful view from any room. Plenty of parking.
8 women, who have been friends for over 50 years, had a wonderful time. The view was inspiring and the property excellent
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: 4 generations met here for a week of tide pooling, bar-b-queing and wonderful relaxing. Alba Vista was close to everything we needed, but far enough away to enjoy nature. The stars were amazing!!
Very nice property with access to the beach. The house itself was in excellent condition and had great views of the ocean. A very pleasant stay. I would stay where again.
Wonderful, peaceful, artsy paradise in the woods. thank you for sharing you beautiful home. It would have been great to have the umbrella on the deck. The hot water problem was fixed, but took a little time.
Thank you so much for making your beautiful waterfront home available through VRBO. I can’t imagine a nicer place to stay on the island for a large group. Everything was immaculate and the view was incredible from every room. Awesome artwork! We enjoyed our visit to San Juan Island and much of it was being able to stay at the Alba Vista.
Perfect set up for our friends with kids. We love how close to town we are, but not right IN town. The only thing we aren’t a huge fan of is the downstairs smells like a cat box. If you live with cats, maybe it wouldn’t bother you. But overall we still love this house and hope to visit each year with our friends.
We spent the Christmas holiday as a family, including grandparents, parents and children and the spaces were perfect for a large group.

Home was clean. Beds comfortable. Only concerns were the lack of a window covering in the water closet and musty odors in the guest house and basement.

The perfect place for four couples to renew old friendships. A quiet location provided easy access to downtown shops and restaurants. We explored the whole island from our rental.
Amazing experience, we were on island for a wedding and the home was a perfect place for our family to spend our time. Nicely appointed, loads of space
Great views, awesome master bedroom. Tucked away and private. Lovely downstairs bedroom. Would rent again.
Great stay with a nice sitting patio. It’s a steep stairway to a rocky beach, grandparents unable to go down, but beautiful view! I would stay again!
Super comfy space for our group. Clean and well stocked. The yard needs major attention. Such a beautiful property with great potential if it had some work on it.
Roomy and with 3 and a half baths.
We did not want to leave this beautiful picturesque escape on San Juan Island. Plenty of room for my group of friends who came with me to celebrate my 40th Birthday. I wish I had another week here just to stay at the property. Great communication and very clear directions on how to access the property, great location to Friday Harbor, and stunning views of the Salish Sea. I would stay at this place again in a heartbeat. Perfect place for a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed this little escape from reality and the peace and quiet it brought. The views of the bay were wonderful to look at it and get lost in thought.The little cabin was an added bonus for our princess
The location and views from this house were second to none. We also appreciated how spacious the house is- my one year old was able to sleep soundly in the master suite while the rest of us hung out in the living space. Unfortunately the house is clearly just used as a fast turnaround rental, the furniture is so old lumpy outdated and much of it falling apart at the seams. The interior does not at all match the luxurious location.
Very cool house with beach access! Would stay here again definetely
