About this property
San Juan Island, Elwha Suite #1902
*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
You will feel like you’re living in a postcard when you stay at The Ferry Landing Suites! The Elwha Suite is a delightful two bedroom condo located on the center level of a landmark building just a few steps from the heart of historic Friday Harbor. There is no accommodation more convenient for walking from the ferry landing or seaplane dock should you choose to leave the car behind on the mainland. When you do bring the car, there’s a coveted on-site parking space reserved just for you.
You will find all the attractions and activities that Friday Harbor has to offer within a short stroll, including whale watching excursions, kayak adventures, local shops, fine galleries, theater, and an eclectic selection of restaurants. As an added bonus, there’s a coffee shop on the lower level where you can sip your morning latte, enjoy fresh baked goods, or enjoy a fresh fruit smoothie. During the summer, perch up on your balcony above the bustling street to enjoying watching the ferries glide in and out of the harbor. During the fall and winter months, you will find the Elwha a wonderful place to snuggle up indoors and enjoy the quiet, reflective atmosphere cherished by the locals.
The Elwha Suite is beautifully furnished, featuring two equal bedrooms, both with queen-sized beds. The living area is spacious offering a sleeper sofa, full kitchen, and dining table. A perfect choice for two couples or small family. This unit is people friendly, and not pet friendly.
Interim cleaning is available on request.
Please note this condo has 17 steps to get to the entrance.

This was an easy walk from the marina and everything else in Friday Harbor. The views from the bay window were great and access/check-in was seamless. Highly recommended!

Thank you for staying we agree this is a great place to stay right in the heart of town and we welcome you back any time for another stay and visit.
Great location, right at the ferry landing in Friday Harbor. Watched the ferry and boats come and go, as well as the people to and from the ferry. Right next to many restaurants and shopping. The apartment had all the necessities for our stay, the bedding and towels were of a high quality, and the place was clean. We will stay again.

Excellent location and property. Felt lucky to find such a unique place. A bit noisy from the coffee shop and ferry lines/traffic but that’s more a comment than a complaint. We’d be happy to stay here again.
This is such a cool and unique place! It’s right in the heart of Friday Harbor. The bay windows look right at the ferries docking. The place is very well maintained and has all the amenities of home.
Perfect location to explore the island and get the ferry. The best view in town! This unit is well equipped for staying in on a rainy day or going out in the sunshine. We will stay here again.
I took my older father there to get out and he enjoyed the front window, watching the ferry come and go, along with the people. Great location to food, ice-cream and the water. Parking was easy access. Would stay again.
Wonderful location right in the middle of town where the ferry stops. Such a great walkable town. Accommodations were neat, clean and spacious. Our host helped with any questions we had

We had a wonderful stay at the Elwha Suite, right in the heart of Friday Harbor! The view of the harbor and watching the ferries come in was so beautiful and it was easy to get to all the nearby restaurants, coffee shops and stores! It had all the amenities we needed for a nice weekend getaway and would definitely stay there again!

The location is convenient, the view stunning. We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and comfortable.
There is no air conditioning and only one small portable fan, so on very warm days with little breeze, it might be a warm sleep.
The location was amazing, the parking spot was perfect. The communication was great. Loved the view, ice cream and wine right across the street in plain view. I would definitely stay there again.

Such a wonderful vacation rental! The location could not be more convenient! Walking distance from ferry and shops/ restaurants in Friday Harbor. Watching the seaplanes, boats and ferries come and go from our private balcony was wonderful. The condo was tidy, and had everything we needed for our stay. Would absolutely rent again!

Thank you for your wonderful review we are happy to hear you had a nice time at the Elwha Suite it does have some great views and we look forward to you staying with us again.
The Elwha Suite was incredible. It Looked over the harbor and ferry dock, right above a coffee shop, walking distance to everything, with its own dedicated parking. Couldn’t have asked for more!! Host was very responsive. Highly recommended!!!!
We had an amazing stay with our two kids at the Elwha Suite. The view was phenomenal, the location was amazing, and the place was fully stocked. It was walking distance to everything - dinner, the port, the San Juan Islands Brewing Company. We loved watching the boats come in and are so glad we picked this location for our two nights on Friday Harbor. We can't wait to come back!
Without knowing much about Friday Harbor, we lucked into this place and it was the perfect choice. We had 2 grandparents, 2 adults, and 2 children. Views of the ferry, seaplanes, and all the activity in town, plus walking distance to everything in town. Thanks for a perfect “bucket list” experience!
This has to be the absolute perfect location in Friday Harbor Village! This is the third time we have stayed in the ferry landing suites. Both the two bedroom and the one bedroom are comfortable with storybook views of the Marina, neighboring islands and car ferry dock. Directly above a coffee shop and just a block to the main street. You really don’t need a car. Could happily spend the entire summer living in one of these suites and just watching all of the activity from the balcony or oversize picture windows. Highly recommended.
