My husband and I stayed. The weather was cool, so lack of ac was no problem. Small and cozy space. Nice small marina just outside — view held interest and the as quiet. Porch was great for morning coffee and evening reading… Bed was comfortable. The house is well-finished — (no chance of mold: something those of used to Maine seaside might worry about.)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at best place. Such a wonderful view and we truly enjoyed the seals playing in the harbor. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The house was close to Friday Harbor, but far enough that it was very quiet. The only thing that needs to be improved is the hideabed mattress. We brought a blow up mattress for our nine year old and placed it on top of the hideabed mattress because of the previous reviews. Otherwise this cute little house was great!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was very quiet and has a view like no other. the houser is small and cozy with ample amenities to cook amazing meals. I would watch the harbor seals feel during the tides and peer out the windows at the boats in the harbor. Very close to town and Jacksons beach. No internet so no working without a hotspot.

The cottage is lovely, super clean, location idyllic, it lacked nothing. I loved it, so peaceful to sit on quaint porch and watch the wild life! Would definitely return there. Conveniently close to ferry dock.

We had a wonderful time staying at the little cottage on the water. We thought it was very cozy for two adults and an infant. We would have liked wifi access, but other than that we enjoyed the scenery. The seals chilling on the dock was a nice surprise.
