About this property

Downtown Friday Harbor! (Artist's Suite)

In Downtown Friday Harbor!

The Artist's Suite is a lovely, ground floor, studio suite. This unit is equipped with a queen bed, 3/4 bath with a walk-in shower, kitchenette and a sitting area. In the bedroom area you'll find a Smart TV for streaming services. This suite is furnished with everything you need, including a romantic propane fireplace.

The Carter House is one of Friday Harbor's first important historic homes. Built in 1911, it was a wedding gift for a wealthy merchant's daughter. It has been beautifully restored. Located in historic downtown Friday Harbor, it is only 3 blocks from the ferry dock and Port of Friday Harbor.

The blocks surrounding the Artist's Suite offer many delicious restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, ice-cream shops and art galleries, all within walking distance. On Saturday mornings the local San Juan Island Farmer's Market is a 5-minute walk from the Artist's Suite!


This Unit has great cell phone reception and Wi-fi. However, San Juan Island is a remote location, and it is good to keep in mind that intermittent, short, Wi-Fi disruptions are very normal for this area.
This Suite does not have Air Conditioning.

The location was great, the place was so cute. Very clean. The only negative thing would be the shower head was hard to aim for a shorter person

April in the Artist's Suite

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: What a cute studio! Close to so much, quiet, and well furnished! We were able to walk to the San Juan Brewery and to the waterfront. When the power went out our last morning there, we called the manager, learned it was the whole island and were told where to go for coffee! (King's Market had limited coffee left when we got there!) Suggestions: have a Friday Harbor brochure with map in the room and adjust or replace the showerhead as it was not the best, especially for shorter people. WE will definitely recommend this to others!

Place was very cute and quaint. Honestly no issues other than the shower is absolutely awful. The water shoots straight back at the wall and gets water everywhere and it’s so hard to actually wash your body. Other than that - perfect spot for a 1-2 night stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Could use a couch/loveseat to have somewhere besides dining chairs or the bed to sit. There was a CONSTANT swooshing sound, definitely NOT from the wind. The shower was the worst I've ever experienced. Could not even wash my hair. The pressure was good but the shower head itself (water saving) created such a wide spray of water you couldn't get out of it, but also didn't provide enough concentration of water to properly wash/rinse anything. The tiny little streams it created felt like needles piercing the skin.

This place is great! It’s just far enough off the main area of town to be quiet, while still being a 2-10 minute walk to most places in Friday Harbor. Everything was clean and nice. The mattress was very comfortable.
