About this house rental

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***

Washington Way Chalet is perched over the sea and provides views of passing boats on a regular basis Its amazing views of the water sets the stage for a classic Island vacation - in fact there's so much blue water right out front of the windows that you sometimes feel like you're on a boat! To enhance that sensation, the decor has a distinctive nautical theme! Just imagine the serenity of sitting on the spacious deck sipping your glass of Pinot Noir, looking over blue waters, taking in the wide open views of neighboring islands. The same elemental view is also framed in the vaulted windows of the living room when you come indoors.

Inside, the style is all casual, warmed by rich colors in every room, a blend of European chalet and northwestern cabin that make for a very cozy environment. The chalet has a three level floor plan. From the parking level, you come down two flights of stairs to enter the home on the mid-level. The living/dining areas face the water. The living room has a new TV and a pellet stove for extra warmth. The kitchen is very well provided and guest cooks will love the commercial-style propane range. There's also a little bistro table at one end of the kitchen that is a wonderful spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine before dinner. Two bedrooms (one with queen bed and one with two twin beds) and a full bathroom are located on this main level as well.

The upper loft functions as the master bedroom (with queen bed) because it has a sitting area, desk, and private bath. It's open to the living room so that the water view can be enjoyed through the windows that extend up two stories in the living room. The lower level has been recently updated with new paint and a larger second TV and sofa in this area. In addition, this level of the home offers a third bathroom with shower, laundry room, and an entry onto a lower deck as well.

Washington Way Chalet is only a five minute drive from Friday Harbor and the ferry landing, where you'll find the community theaters, art galleries, lots of restaurants, grocery stores, and fun shopping!

The waterfront views are breathtaking! Close to Friday Harbor, San Juan Island has great amenities. Watch your step on stairs leading to house, can be slippery at night & early morning. House has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Make ferry reservations as soon as possible.

The view is absolutely stunning, whether you are cooped up indoors or outside on the deck. There are 2 levels of deck, lower is covered and upside has a heat lamp. The property inside is well stocked and kitchen is very well equipped. We had no problems cooking simple meals. Pellet stove, bluetooth enabled sound system and comfy couches made the evening all the more enjoyable. Lowest floor common area is great for our toddler as it is mostly child safe. Location wise it is only 8min drive to Friday harbor and at most 20min drive to most scenic point like Lime Kiln lighthouse, Roche harbor etc... The only downside is the central heating unit is very loud when it turns on, so if you are a light sleeper you may find it not so pleasent. The 2 rooms can be very warm and you can only open or shut the vents (no in between). One last nit picky complaint is one of the two twin bed is very squeaky. Overall very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Would love to come back again.

Very nice accomodations...3 bathrooms and laundry was a plus. It could use a kettle to boil water for coffee and tea.

A tri-level cottage best designed for Mom, Dad and up to 4 kids, or 2 couples. Lots of stairs to all the levels. A bathroom on each floor (3), but the lowest level does not have a bed. We contacted the property management company and they provided us with an air mattress for the lowest level. The second level has 2 bedrooms and a small bathroom off the kitchen. Not so much privacy. The upper level is a private loft, over looking the the living area below and spectacular picture window of the Sound. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking (not food), but pans, dishes, food processor, blender, etc. FYI our toaster went out and was replaced the same day by the property management company. Driveway may be difficult as it is steep and narrow. No easy access to the water, but 2 decks (middle level and lower level) with SPECTACULAR views. Around 2.5 miles from Friday Harbor. YES, I would go there again.

The house and location was great!! We had 4 adults and two teenage boys and the place was perfect! The teens played video games, watched TV, and had their own deck with great views in the bonus room downstairs. And the adults had a sweeping views with comfortable patio furniture and one propane heater for use on the main floor. We saw lots of marine life and eagles daily, cooked our own meals, and took daily excursions exploring the island. The house served the 6 of us perfectly!
