About this house rental
This spacious waterfront house is situated on a private beach just 1.5 miles from the town of Friday Harbor in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.
The beach is perfect for relaxing, sea glass hunts, fort building, launching a kayak or even swimming if you don't mind cold water. Local otters and other sea life will often swim by for a visit, and sunrises and sunsets are dependably Instagram-worthy.
Built in 2007, the house is 2700 square feet with incredible views of Griffin Bay. Three California King beds sleep a maximum of six people. Spacious living areas both upstairs and downstairs give plenty of room for activities and a full kitchen and laundry room provide all the comforts of home. Parking for up to three cars is available on-site.
The house has a fiber internet connection so is easily capable of many concurrent zoom meetings/streaming movies etc.
The manager lives at the property next door and is available if the need arises, but will be happy to give guests whatever level of privacy they require.
Dogs are welcome, but they must do no damage to the house and must be kept on a in control outside as the yard is not enclosed. All dog waste must be bagged and disposed of.
Important: The neighbors' beaches are also private so access is restricted to the beach within the property/Fence lines, this has become sensitive and must be honored.
During the winter, the wind can get somewhat loud as it passes over this side of the island. Some people find the sound soothing, but if you're not one of them a pair of earplugs does a fine job of blocking it out.
There is a mooring 200ft from the beach you are welcome to use once a liability waiver has been signed.
There are two security cameras on the property: One covers the parking/entrance area, the other covers the owner's strip of yard between this house and the neighbors to the south.
Please ask any other questions you may have!

For our multi-generational family with little ones this was a great house. Open kitchen/living spaces. Nice yard/porches. Good parking. Pretty views. Easy to get to town and other activities on San Juan. Our host, Nigel was extremely helpful and responded quickly to questions. Great vacation.

Overall we loved this property and would definitely stay here again. The views and water access (with kayaks and SUPs provided) can’t be beat. Communication and check in/out was very easy. The only downside is that you can tell the rental has gotten a lot of use over the years and could use a little refresh and deep clean to help with wear and tear and evidence of prior pets.
4.9
We had a fantastic family vacation due in large part to the home base that this house provides. The owner was great to communicate with, the house was clean and well stocked, and was very conveniently located close to town but in a quiet neighborhood and on the waterfront. The kayaks and SUPs allows us to enjoy the water and was a great bonus.
We'd stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you Nige!

Had a wonderful stay for several days the week prior to my daughter’s wedding. Was a wonderful space with beautiful views for our group. I wish I had more free time to use the kayaks- only went out once- but highly recommend.
Nigel- the caretaker - was very responsive to questions and concerns. Very much appreciate.
And lastly the location was amazing- super convenient to town but also felt like you were off the beaten track.
Hope to get back in the future- amazing rental!!

It doesn't get much better than this, an amazing home situated on waterfront property with incredible views in the San Juan Islands. We could get used to this! Close to town / ferry / airport. Host was terrific to work with. Highly recommend!

This is the second time we have stayed at the property! This is a beautiful property with an absolutely perfect location.
Our future son-in-law wanted to propose to our daughter as a surprise for the weekend. This was a perfect spot for the romantic gesture. We brought our dog and their dog and six adults, and there was plenty of room for everyone to have an amazing weekend!

The rental was very nice; the location was fabulous and convenient. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, easy to use, and served six adults well. Owner was flexible and communication was excellent. The kayaks and equipment, which are in excellent condition, were a big plus.

Cannot beat this location....take the kayaks or paddleboards and paddle around Dinner Island....watch Sunrise....at night enjoy open view of the sky for Stars....easy access to get into the water....Nigel (owner) very responsive for any issues....town only few mins away...this is the best location we have had on SJI

We had a great time exploring the island and using this beautiful house as a home base. We cooked a lot and had almost everything we needed in the kitchen. The views are spectacular and the kayaks worked great. THANK YOU for a wonderful vacation!

A very comfortable, lovely house in a wonderful spot. This was the best equipped rental house I've ever visited. Nice layout for 3 couples (we didn't use the upstairs room at all, but it would be great for older kids). Really nice that my son's dog was allowed too. Enjoyed the fire pit. Lovely views, quiet, convenient to the cute town of Friday Harbor. We had two amazing dinners - Duck Soup and Downriggers. Went whale watching and saw orcas, sea lions, seals and lots of great birds. Enjoyed birding/photography at the American Camp (also saw the black foxes!), July 4th Beach and Lime Kiln Park, as well as at the house and around the island. A super fun visit!

We loved everything about this property. Easy check in with great communication from the property manager. The house was beautiful - clean, great views, well furnished. We BBQ'd and used the kitchen and it had every cooking tool you could possibly want! The best part was the bonfire and water views. My young kids had a great time playing on the beach and warming up by the fire. We will definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay at this property -- great layout for a multi-generational family trip! We had my parents, myself and my husband, and our two-year-old son staying for several days. We loved the views, the yard, using the kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, and the house was well-stocked with kitchen supplies and a game cupboard. My son loved what he called "the silly room" upstairs with a little reading nook and great water views. Great location minutes from Friday Harbor but very private as well and easy water access.

The perfect spot to unwind
After a multi-day kayak adventure this was the PERFECT spot to relax and recharge in! It was extremely comfortable, accommodating, clean, and well layed out. We only wish we had more time to spend here to take in the amazing atmosphere.

Memories of a lifetime
This beautiful home was perfect for our family get together. Our adult children enjoyed the kayaks while the huge backyard was perfect for our 3 year old grandson to run and play. We sat by the fire in the evenings, played corn hole and had great meals outside. Close to Friday Harbor with all the shops and grocery made it such a convenient location. Thank you Nigel for a dream vacation rental that we'll never forget.

Wonderful Waterfront View with lots of marine life
Great location: unobstructed view of bay and close enough to town. Being close to San Juan Bakery is a big plus too. We saw seals, porpoise, otters and lots of different birds. Host was very responsive and kitchen was well-appointed.

Beautiful and clean
Easy check in and out, very responsive property manager, and everything we needed in the house. Green House was comfortable and clean, with gorgeous views from all over. Early mornings on the deck were a perfect way to wake up.
The beach was not a walking beach, as the neighbors do not want anyone on their beach, but we found tons of seaglass, and kayaked around Dinner Island with the otters. 4th of July Beach is a very short drive away if you want to walk at low tide, or explore tide pools.
A great homebase to explore San Juan Island.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and clean, and it had all the amenities we needed, including in the bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. We loved watching the sunrise and sitting outside by the sea, with a wonderful view of the waves and surrounding islands. Our host was highly responsive and available, if needed.

Where eagles rest
We enjoyed our short vaca to Friday Harbor at the Beach Guest House with an unobstructed view of the water.
A nonstop panoply of wildlife from Bald Eagles, Snow Geese, Canadian Geese, ducks, and sea otters all enjoying the quiet.
We went to rest and rest we did.
The owner has the check-in/check-out process down to a minimal amount of effort. And was responsive to our on-sight queries.
Blankets and a fire pit were used and enjoyed.
Bakery is about 1.3 miles away; grocery/drug store 1.5miles
We look forward to returning.

Great from Start to Finish
I can’t recommend this property highly enough. Our experience was top notch from the day I made the booking until the morning we drove out for the last time. Nigel was very receptive to any questions I had via the VRBO site. He sent pertinent information about the home and Friday Harbor prior to our date of arrival. And then we arrived… the house is fabulous. It’s just what it looks like in the pictures. It’s pleasing to the eye and a very, very comfortable spot to call home. It was extremely clean! We used the deck and yard leading to the water for both morning coffee and evening cocktails. I’m going to repeat myself… if your looking for a home on the water which is in close proximity to Friday Harbor ( 5 minute drive) don’t look any further. Book this house!

Green House
The Green House was perfect. Great view and location for exploring the island

Nigel was a great host and the house was just what we needed. We had three couples in this house, and our young adult children joined us for the afternoons (they stayed elsewhere). They went out on the kayaks and paddle boards each day and out by the island, saw seals, and jellyfish en route. The house was nicely appointed and worked well for us. It's clearly aging in a few areas (cabinetry, deck doors, bathrooms)---it feels like it's about 20-25 years old (which you can't quite make out in the pics)---but is pretty well kept up. The grounds and deck are wonderful! And it's so convenient to get to town! All in all, we'd return.
A note for future visitors: If you're bringing a car over, make a reservation well in advance online (they do 1/3 months before, 1/3 two weeks before, and 1/3 two days before), and if you're coming standby, get in line 2-3 hours early and go and explore once you have your spot! Also note that there is only bus service from Anacortes to SEA. No Ubers or taxis made for a challenging trip for some of our young adults. Also make dinner reservations a couple weeks before you come; restaurants are very busy and close with the last ferry out (about 8:00). Lastly, we had a blast all on Susie's Mopeds, taking the whole day to explore the island. Glorious!
