Friday Harbor, Washington
Waterfront! Hot Tub! Dog Friendly! "The Space Between". Waterfront location on the northwest side of San Juan Island with hot tub that overlooks Mosquito Pass. Enjoy watching the boat traffic and views of Henry Island from the spacious deck with access from the living room.
This cozy and eclectic 3-bedroom home comfortably sleeps 8 guests and includes one king bed, 1 queen bed, 1 full bed, and a sleeper sofa that pulls out into a double-sized bed if the kids need more space. Relax in the living room with cozy seating and enjoy the Fire Stick TV or on the deck barbecuing or hot tubbing. (The fireplace is not for guest-use for safety reasons.) There are stairs to the mid bank waterfront to allow for quick access and enjoyment.
Soak in what the sea and sky have to reveal when coolin' your heels out on the deck with coffee or tea in hand. In Summer, Gray and Humpback whales are swinging by from Mexico, and turkey vultures fly in from as far away as Panama- but you can have an easier go of it, and even make it nearly carbon-free in your electric vehicle (Charge-up for free on site). In Winter, scan the water or listen for two types of sea lions, loons, or migratory Eagles.
The Wi-Fi has recently been upgraded to allow for multiple zoom meetings at once, and the distance from the contemporary hustle and bustle is getting smaller all the time. HOWEVER: If your goal is to embrace the convergence of the wilderness and earthly comforts, all manner of seafaring along with intermittent but absolute silence, or a heavenly sunset by the firepit (firepit available in the off-season) while you still count yourself among the living, come and set awhile.

It was wonderful to go for a walk in the evenings in such a peaceful setting. The house was well stocked and comfortable. The hot tub was perfect, but the driftwood walkway can be wobbly to navigate. We also wish we could have had a screen door to the deck. The yellowjackets were a bit intimidating. Overall we loved the stay and appreciate the owner’s and property management’s hard work!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this place! Had a wonderful family vacation 😎. Sat on the porch every morning and evening watching the harbor seals, eagles and porpoises. Enjoyed the hot tub...especially after kayaking!!
We loved staying here. It was exactly as it looked in the pictures, especially the view! We loved relaxing on the back deck and we even had a little sea otter friend who visited our beach every day. Close enough to town to get there easily but far enough away that we felt like we were in our own private sanctuary. Would definitely stay here again!
We loved being in a quiet spot with beautiful views and enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub.
This was the perfect place to stay Before the Half Marathon!! You cannot beat the view on the deck and we had plenty of room!!
This was a lovely home that offered beautiful views of Vancouver and Henry Islands with amazing sunsets. We had seals in our backyard every morning and every night as well, and 2 deer that would come in the front yard as well. We even briefly saw the humpback whale across Haro Strait!!! The outside flora could have used a mow or some more maintenance, the upstairs mattresses were uncomfortable, and the pots and pans could be updated (we had a hard time cooking breakfast in a couple of them) but that’s just being nit picky. We would come back in a heart beat!!!
What a stunning view and hot tub! The house was comfortable and felt homey. This isn’t a pristine home or property, which didn’t bother us but felt different than the listing a bit. It feels like a cozy, well-loved gma-like cabin with comfortable furniture and also a bit of deferred maintenance in places. Overall, you can’t beat this view and the hot tub was perfect (though the approach and path was a bit precarious). Enjoyed our stay and hot tub experience!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Space Between looking out toward Henry Island. Everything was great-- the kitchen was well supplied, the hot tub was great, and the view was gorgeous. Our suggestions to make improvement would be: 1) get a rug for the livingroom space, and 2) get a better table and chairs for the dining space. It felt a bit sparse, and the quality of the furnishings could be upgraded. Otherwise, we loved it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose The Space Between for the location, view and dog friendliness. The western view and location on SJI are spectacular. It has a great deck and hot tub both with beautiful western facing views towards Vancouver Island. Very good for three couples and for a small dog. We were there for three nights. The only problem we had at all was with the hot tub. The first day the water temp was a perfect 104 degrees. But on the evening of our last day, although it was set for 104 degrees, it wouldn't heat up past 90 degrees which at least for us was a little chilly.

Maybe a foam pad would be helpful.Also, noticed the smoke alarms were disarmed.Overall, the place fit our vacation needs.
Shower handle is broken. Also auto lock batteries are dead

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the house, great location with access easy to Roche Harbor, Lime Kiln and Oysters.The kitchen is well equipped. Furniture eclectic and interesting. Wish there was a way to launch a kayak or fish from the shore. The rocks and seaweed makes it precarious. Awesome sunset views, ships and wildlife.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great mini vacation for our family and friends of 8. The views are spectacular, the rooms comfortable (ok, maybe not the sleeper sofa) and the kitchen was well stocked. Grill was excellent. Home was clean, but it does need a bathroom update. Toilet seat does not fit the toilet upstairs. Also, We loved the sunset but it was a bit blinding. Also loved the porch in front but would have been nice to have a table out there as well. Would definitely stay here again.
What an incredible home on the shore of San Juan Island! Our family loved our stay, we saw orcas, humpbacks, and harbor seals from the back porch - you cannot beat this view.
Only one old TV. Other TV in lower level just for DVDS, It worked the first day, then no TV. Called property manager but didn't respond until next day. We had one day left we paid for, but with no TV we vacated in the morning, not sleeping there. Ice maker broken, only half the toaster worked, pillows were very old, no wine opener! B T

Our Family of 4 had a great time staying at The Space Between on San Juan Island. Plenty of space to relax and watch the sunset after whale watching, kayaking, checking out the light houses or shopping in Friday Harbor. Kitchen had plenty of countertop space and was fully stocked. Beds were comfortable and provided support for older backs! We loved eating breakfast and dinner on the deck watching the boats and looking for wildlife. Great Stay!
