  a guest from Ventura, CA recommends this vacation rental

  I enjoyed my stay in the explorers suite. The room was spacious and everything functional was updated (fridge, microwave, faucets etc) while the carefully selected decor had you feeling you’ve been swept to a simpler time. Turns out that I was sharing the house with a family with young boys and didn’t hear a peep, nor did they hear anything from me.
  
  Check-in was spectacular. Code entry and not having to keep a key in my pocket was ideal.
  
  I want to focus on the location. This place has ample parking for your vehicles which you will not need to use to get anywhere in Friday Harbor. You are close to King’s grocery store and even closer to a convenience store that has late-for-Friday-Harbor hours. This house is situated right at the edge of downtown Friday Harbor and every shop and restaurant is walking distance. If you do not have a car, it is VERY doable to walk straight from the dock to this unit.

  Dana E from Sunnyside, WA recommends this vacation rental

  The room and all the accommodations were perfect. We flew in on Kenmore Air and walked the short distance to our suite. The customer service was excellent, calling us early in the day to let us know we could check in much earlier than scheduled. A great place to stay to explore Friday Harbor, all within walking distance and also the surrounding area. Trolley and taxis were very accommodating. Would highly reccommend.

  Jane D from Nashville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  We absolutely loved our stay in the Explorer's Suite. It was exactly what we needed for our vacation- a comfortable, cozy and accommodating room with all that we needed. It was just off Spring street, walking distance to all of the restaurants and attractions which we loved. We even got stuck on the island an extra day and the management was so accommodating letting us stay an extra night. Thank you for making our getaway so relaxing, easy and highly enjoyable! San Juan is breathtaking and we will be back soon!
