Very good

The facility was clean and comfortable and very convenient to downtown and the areas I needed to visit. It is within walking distance of nearly everything you need. Kitchen is limited but functional with a microwave and refrigerator. Off the beaten path and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.
We are glad the cost of the reservation worked well for you! The Acanthus Suites offer one of the most affordable lodging options for visitors in downtown Friday Harbor while providing more space and amenities than the average hotel room.
Helpful with check in, (use the discount code for the whale watching tour!) let us check in early, nice spot, easy walk to everything, yet a quiet street. And right across the street from a great Rec center/ CrossFit gym!
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,
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.

Thank you for the feedback. This is a historic home converted into separate rental suites. It is a very popular place to stay in Friday Harbor due to its great proximity to downtown and cozy set up.
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.
Was a nice little spot in walking distance to Friday Harbors little downtown area. Thanks!

Convenient and clean
Just right for 2 adults and a small dog. Great location (but watch crossing busy Argyle Ave!), easy walk to everywhere you want to go in Friday Harbor.
We loved the place but had a little problem finding our room it was in the back but no light by the porch hard to see our way around at dark and I hope they get a new shower 🚿 head but everything else was great we will be back If you want a nice place to stay for a great price this is for you and the bed is amazing
Not good someone with the code to the door got into our room and stole personal belongings. Will never stay there again!!!

This is an unfounded claim, with no evidence to support it. We are sorry you misplaced your items when you took them off-site to do laundry. Stating that someone came into your room and stole items, with zero evidence, is an untrue statement and you should be ashamed of yourself. We hope you find your items and another place to stay.

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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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"
