About this house rental

This two-bedroom cottage is just a mile from the town of Friday Harbor but offers a perfect way to get away from it all with a lush back yard that looks out over the ocean with incredible views of Jackson Beach.

San Juan Island is famous for its beaches, and at low tide you can step off the sea wall on the property and walk across to explore to your heart's content.

When you're done with your day, the sound of gently running water outside will lull you to sleep.

Fiber internet connection allows your whole family to work or remote school.

Constructed in 2018, the house is a cozy 1000 square feet with two bedrooms and a high end custom queen wall bed to the side of the living room. Full kitchen, washer, dryer and Internet access are all provided.

The jewel of the space is the views from the living area and bedrooms across Jackson Beach to the south. They're unobstructed and unforgettable.

You'll be located on one of the only saltwater rivers in the western United States, a fascinating natural oddity where fresh water melds with salt and then flows back with the tides.

The house also contains a display of tools and arrowheads found at the nearby archaeological site dating from 2,500 to 5,000 years old.

Other property owners have access to a nearby common areas but the guest yard and beach access is completely private.

I am happy to be available if you have any needs regarding the space, but otherwise you'll be left to your privacy.

Since the cottage is new construction, some of the landscaping is in progress - grass will still be growing in the front yard through may etc.

This house was perfect for our visit. The location was convenient to the town, being right on water was so fun, and the house itself was clean and full of games for the kids. The owner was very easy to get hold of. A great spot!

We really enjoyed our stay. We had e bikes and found the ride to the town was great. The ride out to the cattle point light house was a little precarious as the road was very busy and not the best for bikers. We had fun watching the salt river during the tide changes. Overall, a great place

We very much enjoyed our stay. A mile from Friday Harbor and a very unique location on the water. We saw an otter, seal, eagles and heron sitting out in the chairs adjacent to the water.

This is the second time with have stayed at this beautiful location. The wildlife we saw right from our bedroom windows was amazing!!! Eagles, great blue herons, a couple of loons, kingfishers, numerous water birds, deer, and a couple of foxes too! We brought our kayaks and had a lot of fun paddling right from this property. Highly recommend!!!

The house was everything I wanted it to be…the view from the back was amazing, and where I spent almost all weekend. The perfect home base to explore the wonderful island. Cannot recommend enough!!

The Cannery Row house couldn’t have been better! The location and views were amazing and we enjoyed our mornings and evenings sitting out back watching the birds and sunrises. Nicely stocked kitchen where we enjoyed cooking. We didn’t want to leave during the day to explore as we were so comfortable and relaxed in this home. Thanks for a great stay!

We traveled to San Juan for a women’s weekend. Our rental was clean and comfortable. There was a seating area next to the bay with a daily visit from a heron, several ducks and flocks of geese. Everyone we encountered on the island was friendly and helpful. The weather was perfect and the island is beautiful. We would definitely return!

My children are world travelers and when we stayed last year several months later I heard them saying our trip to Friday Harbor was the best vacation they ever had. This was mostly because of this house and it’s amazing location. So many cool things to do and see literally right out the back door.

Another wonderful family vacation in Nigel's San Juan Island house! The waterfront wildlife did not disappoint (again) with eagles, ospreys and a seal making a close up appearance! Communication was spot on and any questions were quickly answered. Thanks again!

The location is perfect. From the back porch we saw eagles, seals, and otters. If you are a runner, you can loop out from the house, around the point, for a beautiful 5 mile run. The house is basic but very clean and well stocked. We ran out of dishwasher pods and Nigel dropped them off almost immediately upon receiving our text. My husband absolutely loved Vangoughs pizza, if you are looking for an easy dinner. We had a great time and we're sad to go!

We came to stay with 4 people (all adults) and had a great time. Walking to downtown Friday Harbor is definitely possible, it's an easy walk, a little less than 1 mile. Nige is a great host, very communicative and helpful.

This house was the perfect place in a perfect location (just a 3 minute drive to Friday Harbor). The house was clean and exactly as described. The view of the water was great, although we weren't there when the tide was low so couldn't walk out onto the island.

WE LOVED THIS HOUSE!!!! Nige was awesome to work with - very communicative - the house was clean and fully stocked. Everything we could ask for. We loved being on the water and seeing the geese come in each night. We loved being walking distance to town. There was plenty of room for two couples and one toddler. We used extra linens yo make a toddler bed in the walk-in closet and the wee one was set. The beds were comfortable. The couches were a little stiff, but this is clearly a well managed rental vs. a family home, and we were rarely in the den for long (too much to do on the island!!!). We would absolutely stay here again, and would recommend to others!!!!

We had an incredible time staying here in September. The house was very clean and beds were very comfortable! The location is perfect - very close to town and right on the water. We enjoyed having our morning coffee down by the water and ending the day there with a nice glass of wine. Really neat to see the tide come in and out and so peaceful! We can't wait to come back!

We loved our stay at Cannery Row, the house is so unique and access to the lagoon and spit made the visit superb! Nigel and his assistant were top shelf communicators and while we had no issues, I felt confident from check in to check out that any problems would be handled! We hope to stay here again someday.

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at this property! Our host Nige was very responsive and gave us all the information we needed, he even kindly alerted us to the ferry schedule changes the morning of our departure! The house is excellent - plenty of space for two people and two small dogs, all the rooms had awesome views of the lagoon with lots of natural light, and tons of cute birds chirping just outside the windows! We really loved the peaceful surroundings. We didn't cook or use the kitchen much but it was clean, well-stocked with plates/bowls for our takeout meals, and very spacious for us. Ten stars!

Amazing stay close to town!!

Amazing stay close to town!!

My husband and I just returned from a week's vacation on SJI. This is the 5th VRBO that we have rented on the island over the years and there were many things that we appreciated about Nige's place. First, he was extremely responsive to any issues that came up (we temporarily lost the front door key and he had his house cleaner bring us over a spare and the night that all the islands lost power he messaged immediately with useful info.). We also really enjoyed that the space did not feel like we were staying in someone's lived in house. There was plenty of space to store things in the kitchen and bedrooms. We also loved the ever changing view our the windows. So cool to see the changes with the tides each day. Finally, he graciously allowed us to bring our 3 pets with us which was amazing. All five of us had a fabulous time!!!

The view from both bedrooms is amazing, and I really appreciated both the proactive communication from the owner and the ease of check in. Kind of random, but it was also awesome to see some spices in the pantry - normally we bring our own, but if we forget, it can be a pain to buy whole jars of spices for cooking in during our stay.
