About this apartment rental
In Downtown Friday Harbor!
The Artist's Suite is a lovely, ground floor, studio suite. This unit is equipped with a queen bed, 3/4 bath with a walk-in shower, kitchenette and a sitting area. In the bedroom area you'll find a Smart TV for streaming services. This suite is furnished with everything you need, including a romantic propane fireplace. Sleeps 3 but is better suited for 2 people.
The Carter House is one of Friday Harbor's first important historic homes. Built in 1911, it was a wedding gift for a wealthy merchant's daughter. It has been beautifully restored. Located in historic downtown Friday Harbor, it is only 3 blocks from the ferry dock and Port of Friday Harbor.
The blocks surrounding the Artist's Suite offer many delicious restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, ice-cream shops and art galleries, all within walking distance. On Saturday mornings the local San Juan Island Farmer's Market is a 5 minute walk from the Artist's Suite!
A brand new mattress for the queen bed has been updated in this unit in January of 2021.
This Unit has great cell phone reception and Wi-fi. However, San Juan Island is a remote location, and it is good to keep in mind that intermittent, short, Wi-Fi disruptions are very normal for this area.
This Suite does not have Air Conditioning.

Great location, good size, but the heater wouldn't turn off so we couldn't sleep well. Fans and open windows couldn't keeo up vs the heater. The pillows were also very stiff and uncomfortable.
5.0
A cute, quiet retreat located in town but far enough away from all the hustle and bustle. Easy communication with management, easy accessibility, and lots of amenities to make your stay comfy! Highly recommend!

It was nice

This place is great! It’s just far enough off the main area of town to be quiet, while still being a 2-10 minute walk to most places in Friday Harbor. Everything was clean and nice. The mattress was very comfortable.

It was very close to everything on foot. The parking space was very handy. The place was clean, tidy, comfy. The only downside is the thin ceiling, I could hear noise from upstairs but I was to be expected. It goes with the old house charms.

Excellent location and lovely suite. The property manager quickly responded to any requests for assistance, including those after hours. Well equipped studio. The heat works well.

We had a good time at this VRBO. The walkability was amazing. Close to a brewery, close to coffee stands, close to the ferry, close to town. We thought the bed was a little lackluster, but every body is different. We usually like beds that are softer, and in our opinion, while the bed had some give, it was more on the firm side which was a little uncomfortable (for us). A little memory foam pad would have helped during our stay. The check-in process was cake, the parking situation was spacious and easy. A fantastic stay overall!!

the space was bright and cozy, conveniently located just blocks from downtown. I'd stay again for sure!

The house is in a great location and we had a great stay. The weather was perfect while we were there which is a good thing as the place could use a couple comfortable of reading chairs which would be perfect and enjoyable in the sunroom. The TV screen is so small that's it's almost not worth watching. If these two issues where addressed it would be wonderful.

Our suite was lovely; however, the tenant above us played their music and TV rather loud; while there was a coffee pot, there was no coffee provided.

Great location, well maintained, perfect for 2 people. Just as described.
4.0
Location is within easy walking distance of downtown. Parking on property was a nice perk. This is a downstairs unit, with a long-term renter upstairs. We lucked out in that the upstairs renter was quiet. Had they not been, it would have greatly affected our stay, as we could hear footsteps and movement easily. Would have loved a larger tv. Only real drawback to the property is the lack of a stove/oven.

Our stay at the Artist's Suite was lovely. We walked everywhere and enjoyed the well appointed and clean space. Very comfortable!!

The place was wonderful and close to town. Appreciated the blow up bed. Could use towel racks in in the bathroom. Also, could use a new shower head.
5.0
Great location and cute property in a well remodeled historic building. To make it 5+, adding Wi-Fi and a handheld attachment in the little shower would do the trick.

Great location but a little noisy due to road traffic. Would be nice to have an area outdoors with some chairs to relax and maybe a grill to bbq. Also we did not have a bath mat.

We enjoyed our weekend stay. The property was clean and fairly quiet. Easy walk from the marina to the location and the spots around town. Would recommend and stay here again.

The suite met my basic needs for my short stay (2 nights). I found the unit sparse of comforts. A comfortable chair with a reading lamp would have been a nice touch. With summers getting hotter, an air conditioning unit would be a plus. The road noise, at times, was quite distracting. Great location to Friday Harbor. And my compliments on the bathroom remodel.
5.0
There are MANY pluses to this VRBO: SUPER clean. Well appointed, updated. Comfortable. Excellent value for money. Cannot beat the location, with off street parking, you can walk everywhere in town easily. Lovely old building. Best for two people.
other thoughts: We had a great weather while in Friday Harbor (lucky us), so the place was quite warm (fan provided), with the many windows open cools off, but on a main road, very noisy. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs or such. It is a minor thing, and hardly the owner's fault, just something to be aware of.
WIFI is slow, and can't handle streaming, there is a very small TV, wall mounted. But there is so much to do, we didn't use it much, and didn't miss it.
One suggestion to owners, a padded chair in the front room where painted wood chair is. It would be nice to have a comfy chair to sit and relax in that great front room.

We chose this property to make the most of a short stay in Friday Harbor, and it delivered. We were able to walk to our whale watch, kayak trip and all restaurants. The suite is clean with a nice breakfast area and very comfortable bed. The kitchen is limited - no stove - so don't plan to cook full meals.
