Great location. Rental was accurately described. Only negative is that there are no optional shades for the windows. I stayed at this location for my night shift rotations so I had to sleep during the day, and with the lack of shades or curtains, it was light and very hard to sleep

We enjoyed out stay. The picture shows a couch and there was no couch. There was a blow up bed, but that was not in the description. The walls are very thin and we were awaken every night at 1:00 am by the sound of the other residents coming home. Beautiful neighborhood, would be happy to stay there again.

Perfect location if you’re on foot. It’s within walking distance from all the shops and restaurants and the ferry dock in Friday Harbor. Charming old home. Could use a sofa for relaxing after a long day of walking (Explorers Suite). The bed was comfortable but in an awkward spot. Would stay 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: We wanted someplace walkable near town. This was exactly what we needed. And the beautiful craftsman details in the unit made it lovely to spend time there too. Couple of quirks- bathroom door didn't close completely and there was a livingroom lightswitch on the outside of the front door. Wasn't an issue...just odd! Would certainly stay here again

We rented 2 rooms for 8 adults. This and explorers suite. Good amount of room. The shower stall in this room could use a good grout bleach. Dark and has smell. Otherwise clean. Not really a kitchen area. The bathroom sink doubles as your “kitchen”. Location was fantastic.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Our stay was 8 days and we loved the warm antique was clean and comfortable.The website showed a griddle and toaster but the room did not have these items. There are large windows in this unit for lots of natural light but 4 of the windows do not have window coverings. Waking up before you are ready and privacy was an issue. We had to cover the windows with dark sheets, that solved the problem. Otherwise, we loved the walk ability to all the shops and restaurants andtheferry.
