Peaceful, fun, beautiful. Loved the heated stone floor in the bathroom. The sleeping situation in the living room was below par...an air mattress without blankets that fit. Had to call host to locate it. The in house instructions didnt include some needed information. But the host was responsive and kind. The kitchen and main bedroom were great. The deck peaceful.

We spent 3 nights at Adrian's place. Fun and unusual apartment in the woods. Quiet and peaceful.

This rustic modern retreat has a minimalist feel and is in a secluded wooded area between Friday and Roche Harbor which made it easy to get around and explore the island via car.

A modern style cabin in a secluded spot. Very quiet, spacious, and centrally located. You will need a car, but everything is about 15 minutes away.

Quiet relaxing getaway in ideal location
I really enjoyed this property for its quiet and beauty. It is in a good location in that town is a short drive away but when you are in the apartment it feels like you are in the middle of a forest. Property owner was super easy to communicate with. I loved the modern island esthetic, comfortable bed, heated bathroom floor tiles plus big selection of books and games. A great back balcony for morning coffee. Its the type of place that lowers your blood pressure. Some on and off wifi issues that Adrian worked hard on and got fixed efficiently. This is an island rental so I was not too concerned. Perfect getaway to explore San Juan and surrounding islands for 1 to 2 people. Thank you Adrian!

San Juan is beautiful, and this property let us enjoy it, so that was great. The place is clean and had most of what we needed as far as amenities are concerned, so that's good too. A few weird things about the place though. It gets full sunshine all day, which is a big problem when it is summer, because there are no shades at all in most of the house, and it gets super hot. There are no screens on the doors, but lots of wasps, etc., so cooling the house down at night is tricky because you can't get a good cross-breeze. There is one fan, but it's super weak. The hot water tank is tiny (one short shower and washing the dishes makes it empty), the shower controls are hidden behind a screen and the cold water tap on the tub doesn't work. There are two shower heads, so you use twice as much water, but there doesn't appear to be any way to turn one off. The bed was nice and firm, but only one side has a table. The wi-fi is really slow. Most of this is nit-picky, but for the price I would expect fewer oddities.

This was perfect for a weekend trip to San Juan Island with my husband. It was clean and nicely decorated, had a really comfortable lounge area to watch a movie, had a great kitchen, we loved the double shower head shower and the heated floors and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I slept the best I had in weeks. It was also a great central location for exploring both the northern part of the island and only 10 min drive to the ferry and Friday Harbor. Not a single complaint here!

Pros:
- early check-in was easily accommodated, which was especially important to us given that we had a 1.5 year old who needed to nap. Really appreciate that.
- place was clean and spacious
- place is set in a beautiful area and is very, very private
- communication prior to coming was clear
Cons (nitpicky, but things that could be done to improve the place):
- would be nice to have some shared items on hand - e.g. aluminum foil, ziplock bags, etc. Often when you're traveling you don't have these things and this is one of the benefits these rentals.
- would be good to have a handbook for the place - i.e. here's how to access wi-fi, here are check-out instructions, etc.

We stayed at Adrian's apartment for three days in July with our granddaughter who is 9. The place is very contemporary and has been designed and decorated artfully. It is off of the road and so quiet and restful. The kitchen is well-equipped and there is ample space to prepare meals and store your food. The bathroom is large and has a nice tub and shower. The bedroom had open shelves to store clothes, etc., and a dresser and closet. The bed was one of the best I have ever experienced and I slept so well. There was an inflatable bed but our granddaughter decided to make a bed on the sofa. She said it was the best bed ever, too. There is an elaborate television system with lots of options. I couldn't get it to work but after a few minutes we decided we really didn't need to watch TV and so went outdoors to sit on the patio. I am confident that Adrian would have come to help me if I had asked but it was nice to be unplugged. There is wifi and we had no trouble with reception. We have Verizon. The apartment is not air-conditioned but the open doors allow a wonderful cross-breeze. Everything was very clean and in good condition. I would suggest a couple more towels in the bathroom but that is all. It is dim in the apartment but I didn't mind that as it added to the peacefulness. I felt serene each time we came back to the apartment and would definitely rent it again.

While the property had an appealing Asian influence, it was not as comfortable as we had hoped. Some of the things that we liked about the property were:
-- A central, yet isolated, location, not too far from either Roche Harbor or Friday Harbor.
-- A pleasant woodland view.
-- A comfortable mattress (best sleep we have had in quite a while).
-- A large kitchen island.
-- Heated floors in the bathroom.
-- Aesthetically pleasing interior.
-- Large flat screen television and entertainment system.
Some of the reasons we found the property to be less than user friendly were:
-- No written instructions for the entertainment system. We had to contact the owner, who then had to stop by to help us use the system. To his credit, he was very responsive to our request for assistance, coming to the property personally during the late evening. However, written instructions would have been useful, preventing frustration of the guest and inconvenience of the owner.
-- While there was a land line, it did not work. Because we did not have any cell phone access, we had to resort to email to contact the owner.
-- The fireplace had a sign indicating that we should contact the owner before use. When asked, the owner indicated that the fireplace tends to put out a lot of smoke into the living room before it begins drafting. Concerned about smoke damage, we decided not to use the fireplace.
-- The interior space was very dark, making it difficult to not only read, but to see what we were eating. More lighting would be helpful, especially over the table and chairs.
-- The closet lights did not work; thus it was very difficult to find clothing and other items in our suitcases, which we had to leave on the floor because there was not a bench or any other place where we could conveniently put them.
-- The sectional sofa was extremely uncomfortable due to its depth. I am 5' 11" tall, and the sofa was far too deep for me to sit comfortably. My partner is 5' 3" tall, and had great difficulty finding any place to sit comfortably to watch a movie. When she laid down, her hair kept getting pulled by the Velcro used to attach the cushions to the sofa.
-- The one table in the house is aesthetically pleasing, but very uncomfortable to sit at for any length of time. There were two wooden chairs and a small wooden bench, none of which had backs or cushions.

The property was beautiful and secluded. It was a perfect place for a nature lover and in a good central location that allowed for exploring the island. I would defenantly stay here again.
