About this property

HARO HAIKU is a licensed San Juan County Vacation Rental (#05CU11) located on the West side of beautiful San Juan Island. NEW INTERNET!

The house is nestled just below the ridge line - with 180 degree views of the Olympic mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca beyond, and Haro Straits immediately below.

Inside Haro Haiku you'll find a contemporary blend of furnishings. The interior lets the outside in through widow placements and large sliding doors out to a full length deck.

The views are spectacular!!
Across the straits to the Olympic Mountains, Pt Townsend, Mt Rainier, and Whidbey Island it never fails to inspire and delight. Sunrises, sunsets, ship and boat traffic, the lights of Victoria, and the Olympic Peninsula, clear starry nights, cloud formations, combined with the sound of Orca whales and surf below. Truly awesome!!!

Serenity and repose on San Juan Island

Our guest's comments say a lot more about our unique home and property.

HIGH SEASON: If we have a 1 or 2 night opening between reservations we are happy to accept a reservation.

clean and comfortable, with a spectacular view

Everything was great, and exactly as described! The only drawback is the steep access road. Cell service is minimal except through Canadian roaming. The Internet works OK but is pretty slow. The big draw is the spectacular view of Haro Strait.

Washington Relaxation!

This property is the perfect place to get away and recharge. I loved the always changing views of the ocean and mountains. Every time you looked up the view was completely different. The location of this home was about 15 minutes from everything we wanted to do. We loved cooking breakfasts and dinners as they had everything you could possibly need to make a full meal. I was hesitant with them only having induction plates to cook on but man I feel like they worked better then our stove at home! I do have to throw in that my main reason for coming out to the islands was to see orcas in the wild and they did not disappoint. We went out on Western Prince Whale Watching and they took us over 50 miles and saw all 3 resident pods, a few humpbacks and a minke whale. It was a birthday wish come true :) Thank you again to Stephanie for the beautiful and relaxing trip. It was exactly what we needed! We can’t wait to come back and visit the San Juan Island again

Little House Overlooking Haro Strait

Perfect, little getaway house with beautiful view of Haro Strait on quiet, west side of San Juan Island. We never tried of the changing view of clouds over the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island from the deck. Just up the road is Lime Kiln State Park with best spot to see orcas or other whales from shore. Lots of nice hikes on the island with our favorite being Mt. Finlayson/Jakle Lagoon and Young's Hill. Only minor downside was spotty WiFi access. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
