  a guest from Long Beach, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This was a nice affordable place to stay at. Note that it is not perfect, and I knew this when booking based on previous reviews (such as it having low hanging ceilings and a curtain for a bathroom door.) The only unexpected inconvenience was that the water from the tap tasted like chlorine which particularly bothered my fiancé. I'd recommend others staying to consider bringing their own supply of drinking water.
  
  We were otherwise very satisfied with our stay. The location was great. It is a very short walk to the heart of Friday Harbor making it easy for us to walk to anywhere in town we wanted to go to. I really appreciated that the room had a microwave, fridge/freezer, dishes, dishsoap, a fresh cleaning sponge, and plenty of clean towels.
  
  Getting a discount on booking whale watching with San Juan Excursions was also a fun bonus!

  SUSAN A from ELKRIDGE, MD recommends this vacation rental

  The house is in a great location, I walked from the ferry and all around town comfortably. I didnt have a car and enjoyed myself. The room is nicely laid out, good breeze from the windows. It was nicely appointed with dished and such for two people. Sound does carry easily thru the halls, but everyone was respectful of quiet time and headphones easily blocked all sounds. I would happily stay here again.

  Had a great stay! The place is small, just as described (studio), but perfectly functional, comfortable, and in an extremely convenient location. Essentials were provided and the appliances (coffee maker, toaster, microwave, electric skillet) all worked perfectly. Check-in/out was a breeze with the electronic locks. Thank you for a lovely stay!

  a guest from Succasunna, NJ recommends this vacation rental

  The Acanthus Suites were perfectly located for a quick walk to town. The brewery was essentially in the backyard, which was great. Ample parking. The only drawback was that there was not a bathroom sink; you needed to use the kitchen sink to wash your hands. Granted it's a small space but a tiny pedestal sink tucked in the corner would have been great. Overall, great room and excellent location.

  The Logger's Suite was a perfect 1 person stay and short distance to the business part of Friday Harbour. Does have a flight a stairs -- good exercise however.

  Perfect little hideaway
  
  The "threatening charges" of $100 if you remove some item from the room and $200 if you check out later than 10:00 were a bit daunting, but we just obeyed all rules and enjoyed the location. If the click worked and the toilet seat write solidly attached, it would have been perfect. But it was a fun, quaint place to stay. We enjoyed it.

  The room was very coze and the entertainment options were plentiful. The location was fantastic, very close to down town restuarants, stores, and the ferry. Everything was very clean and well stocked with cups and plates. Would have liked a door on the bathroom, but other than that it was excellent.

  The room was comfortable and in a great location. A couple blocks from town with great restaurants and shopping. The island is a beautiful place I have travel here many times although it is thousands of miles away. I stayed by myself this time and felt very safe. I would stay here again.
