  We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better vacation rental. The space was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly relaxing. The host was very welcoming, and their attention to detail was truly impressive—everything was thoughtfully arranged and extremely helpful. The rental was exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed, making our stay completely stress-free.
  The highlight was the absolutely amazing view—we were even lucky enough to see orcas swimming by right from the living room, which was unforgettable. We have no complaints at all and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

  a guest from Beaverton, OR recommends this vacation rental

  This home is wonderful and comfortable. It has all the amenities you need during your stay with a couple of exceptions. There were only 6 forks to use and no teaspoons. The other items of note were the house was not ready when we arrived at 3:53 and the cleaner acted annoyed we were early by 7 minutes. The additional item I would note is the home has a spiral staircase to get to the second floor and this is not noted in the description in the listing for this rental. It was fine for our party but if you had any kind of mobility issues it might be a challenge. I wish the weather had been a tiny bit more in our favor as this house has amazing decks and doors that open wide to enjoy the deck and views. I would highly recommend this home if you are coming to the San Jaun Island for a visit. Thanks for the wonderful place to stay and the memories. Cheers!

  The neighborhood is quiet so that you can hear the breeze in the branches, the water lapping at the shore below, and the birds waking before us. Sunrise colors the sky slowly then reveals the other islands overlapping ridge tops. Amongst this house’s best features is the view, a very well equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, and comfortable beds. We stayed four nights and didn’t want to leave.

  a guest from Columbia, SC recommends this vacation rental

  Wow - this property is incredible! The house has stunning views, and we couldn't get enough of watching the water and the eagles flying by the house. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable, and the property is very quiet. Best sleep I've had in ages! The house is in perfect condition, incredibly clean, and everything is thoughtfully and clearly labeled. The location was great, and we were happy to be close to Friday Harbor but not in the touristy chaos of Friday Harbor. Please note that you need to climb up a spiral staircase to get to the primary bedroom (this was not a problem for us, but it might be for guests with mobility limitations). We absolutely loved this property - I would live permanently in this house if I could!

  • Manager Responded on 11/1/2025

  Our stay at this rental in Friday Harbor was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning decor and warm, inviting atmosphere. Every detail of the home was thoughtfully designed, creating a true oasis of relaxation. The surrounding wildlife was incredible—we spotted deer, eagles, and even seals right from the property! The peaceful setting, combined with the beautifully curated interior, made for an unforgettable getaway. If you're looking for a serene and luxurious escape, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Julie K from Palatine, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We walked in and promptly decided to cancel our activity plans for the next day -- we were just so in love with the home and wanted to stay & enjoy it! The home is close to Friday Harbor without being too close, very quiet and restful. We loved sitting on the deck in the early morning hours (well, really all parts of the day). Our bird app identified 7-10 different types of birdsong. The home was beautifully designed and furnished and we used the fireplace everyday. I'd love this for my own home. I'm already planning to return next summer!
  
  This did not impact us, but I do want to call out the bedroom doors for those who may have stronger privacy needs (eg couples). The upstairs bedroom is its own distinct space but it does not have an actual bedroom door (although the upstairs bathroom does have a door). The main floor bedroom has a barn door which covers the door but still has the typical gaps above and to the sides. We didn't hear much, just some talking sometimes, but ymmv.

  Wow, what a stunning place! The house itself is wonderful, extremely comfortable and cozy with pretty much everything you could want. Having coffee beans on hand was a great touch to make it easy to have a great cup of coffee while admiring the fantastic view. While the house itself is wonderful, the view is that much better. The large porch and additional chairs down closer to the water made it easy to just chill when not out enjoying the rest of what San Juan Island has to offer. We would absolutely love to come stay again!

  We stayed for two nights as a quick getaway and it was the most welcoming enjoyable rental I’ve stayed at for awhile. We loved the view and the bathrooms - the hot tub on the deck were great! We tended to watch movies upstairs since the living room tv was a little high, so it was nice to have the option. The tea kettle may need replacing - just a note- there was residue coming off the bottom floating around in the water. Also, it was be super nice to add smaller spoons. The spoons were huge! Just helpful hints for the managers ;) we wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

  Art D from San Antonio, TX recommends this vacation rental

  One of my main concerns about rental properties is the experience of the reality v the listing, meaning you discover negatives that you just can't determine from the photos or description. In the House of the Ocean Sun, I am thrilled to say that the home met and exceeded my expectations in every respect!
  
  The home is exactly as it's pictured and described; it's gorgeous, clean, incredible views, high-end everything. And a delightful bonus is that literally everything in the home is labeled, light switches, cabinets, towels, kitchen drawers so it was incredibly EASY to find anything I needed. I just loved that as sometimes I spent hours just trying to figure out what goes where and, of course, forget where to put things afterwards.
  
  The hot tub is the best I've ever used at a VRBO property. It's serviced and maintained and it's HOT - 104 degrees - and the view of the Salish Sea is unmatched.
  
  Also, San Juan Property Management did a wonderful job communicating and they were responsive to everything we needed.
  
  This property is expensive, but well worth the value. I highly recommend it!
