Location is great. Walking distance to town and brewery. Large bedrooms and plenty of beds for our group but mattresses could be updated as they were a bit squeaky. The couches also could use new cushions and were not comfortable. The sink in one of the downstairs bathrooms needs to be either be replaced or reglazed and kitchen drawers need fixing as they were a struggle to open and closeThe owner was quick to respond to any questions and overall was good stay

Perfect property for our stay on the island! We had 3 families there for a wedding. 7 adults and 5 children. Great space for us all to sleep and enjoy. The backyard was especially wonderful for the kids and the croquet set was fun for them to learn a new game. Located close to the shopping and ferry dock, yet no close neighbors. Easy check-in and check/out. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Friday Harbor!

Perfect little getaway

The proximity to the town and ferry was a plus. Neighborhood was quiet and safe to walk around. There were plenty of comfy beds but the layout wasn’t great for multiple families or large group. The house was dirty and didn’t have very much toilet paper to accommodate a large group. Would have loved the outdoor space but it was overgrown and unusable. Not ideal for a large group of 13. Better for a smaller group as there is only dining space for 9 -10 comfortably. Overall the place was fine and we made it work for our trip. The host communicated well and made the check in check out process super easy!
