Great

I enjoyed myself and staying in the fishermans suite. It's a quiet neighborhood with lots of charm. I loved it there. It was close to the main street. Lots of shops to browse through. The island is very beautiful Thank you,

Great for Three Adults

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Three adults stayed here for the weekend while attending a wedding at Saltwater Farm. I slept on the pullout and found it quite sufficient and comfortable even though I'm pretty tall (5 8). We appreciated how centrally located the apartment was and how everything around the apartment was labeled. There was a nice grassy yard and a back deck with two chairs and a small table. Note that there are no hangers, so I recommend bringing your own if you have dresses or other things you want to hang up. There is no closet but the hooks in the bedroom with the hangers we brought from home were more than fine.Thanks for such a great spot! We loved our stay and Friday Harbor.

Overall a good stay in the Fisherman Suite. Some items to consider: Noise from the parking lot is real and garbage day is EARLY on Wednesdays. The shower is TINY. My husband is 6'4 and fit and he was barely able to move around. The pull out bed is terrible with no way to make it better. The kitchenette (mini fridge/microwave) is nice as is the eating area. I would recommend a larger TV and perhaps a TV in the bedroom as well. Excellent location with plenty of parking.

This space was fine. It is very close to town, so the location is great. It is a quirky set up, but overall the space was fine. The check in is a little confusing, but overall I enjoyed our stay.

great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: the refrigerator was a small/half size refrigerator so had to squat down every time to get anything out of it. It would be perfect for toddlers. Highly suggest that it be raised up on a pedestal so that grown adults don't have to squat down to the floor to get anything out of it.

Perfect spot!

Great little apartment just a short walk from town. Ample parking, quiet neighborhood and very comfortable accommodations for our needs. The pullout sleeper couch was a bit on the short side so probably not great if you’re over 5’5” but otherwise very comfortable.

Wonderful Vacation!

This was the perfect property! I could get up each morning and walk to town very easily and enjoy the harbor and the shops. My daughter and her family stayed in a different property but they were much more impressed with mine! I had never been to Friday Harbour and found it to be a lovely vacation!

Marvelous location

The quaint little apartment was just a few minutes walk to the center of the hustle and bustle of Friday Harbor. Absolutely adorable. Only suggestion I would have is more facilities to cook. There was only a microwave. A stove, oven, would make a massive improvement and make the place perfect.

Perfect Location for Traveling w/ Dogs

On the edge of downtown so super close to restaurants, shops, and everything else you could need but also at start of residential area so nice and quiet. Traveling with my dog and was able to utilize the closed in porch to give her a little more room. There is also a nice size yard to hang out in and walk her around. Friday Harbor is super dog friendly so she was welcome in all the shops and restaurants. Highly recommend this place and Friday Harbor.

Great Place

I stayed at this property while I spend a few days in Friday Harbor. It was in the back of a house that has a few other rentals on the same property. It was extremely convenient location to downtown Friday Harbor. Easy walk distance to all the shops/restaurants. I had no issues, bed was comfy and had what I needed. Only suggestion would be to add a bathroom curtain :)

Good stay, easy access to town and Ferry. Unit did not have a stove top for cooking which was disappointing. I suggest that it is clarified in the listing as many would think it is included in "Kitchenette"

Location is fantastic!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice weekend in Friday Harbor and the location of the property can not be beat. For the price, this is an excellent, pet friendly spot. My only feedback is that the living space is not comfortable for relaxing (small love seat or corner bench) and I’d recommend a different set up in that room.
