We brought our vehicle over for island explorations but enjoyed walking to the grocery, restaurants, and our whale watching trip from this convenient location. The suite was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy our time on San Juan Island.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great spot for my kids and I. The adventurer suite was spacious and comfortable. The suite was exceptionally clean. We loved walking to eat in town and easily could have left the car back in the mainland now that we know about the hop on hop off trolley. We would definitely stay here again.

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: This is a great location and lovely property with easy walking distance to downtown and plenty of parking. The bathroom door did not close completely, which was a minor issue with a teenager... loved the decor of the Explorer Suite. We wore worried about no AC, but the weather was perfect in July so didn't need AC. Fans were provided, which was nice. I would definitely recommend this property to others.

Great location - made for an easy walk to downtown even with all our luggage. Though, the bed left something to be desired. Was not the most comfortable. Also, we felt a little rushed out. The property manager walked in on us an hour before our checkout time. However, the deals with kayaking, whale watching, and the proximity to town made for an overall enjoyable stay. But, we may look elsewhere next time we come to Friday Harbor.
