We had a great time visiting Friday Harbor for Christmas! The rental/property were just perfect for what we had planned. The location is close to town and the ferry, making this a great place for those walking on, while the oversized parking lot makes it great for driving in as well. We would 100% book with SJPM again and again!

Location was ideal, walk to all shops and restaurants. Needs to have better lighting in bathroom by mirror. Great time!!

This was an upstairs studio/attic room called the Miner's Room, and, frankly, it looked like a low class place underground workers would go to for a short sleep before hitting the mines again. Examples:
- The windows were small, didn't open far enough to cool in a hot summer (no a/c).
- The kitchenette was 1970s style with formica and vinyl everywhere. Fridge and microwave were itry bitty.
- Furniture was decrepit. Table was falling apart, armoir could only hold clothes if they went in the wrong way, drawers wouldn't slide right / fell off. These weren't antique, they were low class thrift store quality.
- Throw rug over the vinyl floor was threadbare and very dirty. Bedclothess looked 20 years old - tattered and faded color.
- Bathroom was smallest we've ever had, maybe under 20 sq ft? Motel 6 would've been a big step up. Hot water heater and cleaner stuff were behind the thinnest of curtains was not very clean.
- TV was a joke. My computer monitor at home was a much better quality.

Warm sleeping especially in the “extra” area. We did not have a car, so this spot was perfect for walking to the Jolly Trolly, shopping and restaurants.

We had a very nice time staying in Miner's Suite. It was perfect for the two of us on a girl's trip and then we used the Suite a few nights for my friend's sister that came in for the weekend. We could walk to everything, the area was safe, and the place was clean. We will stay here again.

We were very happy with the cleanliness and location of the property. The layout of the Miner suite and Annex is a bit strange and it would help to make a floor plan available for guests before booking. We were also surprised that there were no tea/coffee supplies available.

We enjoyed are stay at the Miner's Suite. It's conveniently located. We stayed with two adults and two teenagers. They enjoyed the own area in the suite down the hall. Bathroom situation was different. No bathroom sink or typical mirror (i.e., kitchen sink doubles as bathroom sink). Putting on the pretty was a little harder in this suite :). Bed were comfortable and suites were clean.

We loved our stay. The house has 4 rooms to rent (plus the annex with the miner's suite) and we thought that would be weird, but we really never saw the other guests and it was very quiet. One block from town and 4 blocks from the ferry, loved the location. Our room (Miner's Suite) was large with two queen beds and the annex was great, but we didn't realize you had to access it from outside our room. Not a big deal, but be aware, the annex is next door. It was a great place to stay for the price, but I have to say the beds were the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on. Couldn't wait to get home to get some sleep. Would love to come back if they get some new beds that support our backs, otherwise would have definitely given it 5 stars, great place.

Great stay, so convenient!
This was a last minute booking but everything was so smooth and easy. The suite was super clean and the house is a 5 minute walk from all the happenings in Friday Harbor. The kids (10 & 14) found the beds to be very comfortable and "it was great for two nights!" We had a bit of a crunch with the one sink, but it wasn't a dealbreaker! Thank you so much!

The property was actually two disconnected rooms with a bathroom in one, but it actually worked out just fine for a group of 6 (2 couples and 2 singles). Place was clean, charming, and very centrally located. Would absolutely stay here again!

Rented Miners Suite 2 nights. Easy check-in and walked from harbor area (it is uphill). Narrow stairs up to room. Very private, no AC so windows open so you hear noise of street & garbage truck pick up in the AM. Adequate space but no couch and no sink in the bathroom. TV had netflix access but no local channels. All appliances worked. After seeing beautiful harbor area I would rather have stayed at a location with a view.

We left the morning after arrival. I reported inconsistency in the listing description, as well as cleaning and safety issues to the host, San Juan Property Management. I told them we were leaving in the morning, and that I wanted a refund of my second night, the cleaning fee. They offered me the second night back, but not the cleaning fee. I declined the partial refund as I did not think that was sufficient. I am pushing for a 100 % refund now, after fire department has verified my safety concerns and found two additional violations. Host continues to deny refund, and has blamed my entire experience on me saying I’m a terrible guest, leaving me a bad guest review to add insult to injury.
