About this property

Spectacular West side views of Strait, Olympics, Victoria, south to Mt Rainier.

HARO HAIKU is a licensed San Juan County Vacation Rental (#05CU11) located on the West side of beautiful San Juan Island. NEW INTERNET!

The house is nestled just below the ridge line - with 180 degree views of the Olympic mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca beyond, and Haro Straits immediately below.

Inside Haro Haiku you'll find a contemporary blend of furnishings. The interior lets the outside in through widow placements and large sliding doors out to a full length deck.

The views are spectacular!!
Across the straits to the Olympic Mountains, Pt Townsend, Mt Rainier, and Whidbey Island it never fails to inspire and delight. Sunrises, sunsets, ship and boat traffic, the lights of Victoria, and the Olympic Peninsula, clear starry nights, cloud formations, combined with the sound of Orca whales and surf below. Truly awesome!!!

Serenity and repose on San Juan Island

Our guest's comments say a lot more about our unique home and property.

HIGH SEASON: If we have a 1 or 2 night opening between reservations we are happy to accept a reservation.

Beautiful view and property. Saw foxes, deer and eagles right from the deck. Close enough to Lime Kiln State Park to stop by every day where we saw foxes, eagles, whales, porpoises and a sea lion. The rental was perfect size for a couple, very clean, nicely decorated and in a quiet, secluded private neighborhood. Kitchen was well appointed so we could eat dinner every night with a spectacular view of the Haro Strait and Olympic mountains.

This a nice tiny home overlooking the strait of Juan de fuca and the Haro strait. About 15 minutes from Friday Harbor and just a few minutes to Lime Kiln Park makes this a great location. Very quiet, a great place to get away and relax.

Great home base for an SJI getaway! Just up the hill from Lime Kiln and West Side Preserve, and an easy drive to all other sights. The views are incredible, so nice to wake up and have coffee or come home at sunset and watch the water. Easy to whip up meals in the well appointed kitchen. Bathroom is nice and clean. Bed is super comfy. Host is very communicative and check in/out directions were easy to follow. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing view and cute little cottage that is everything a couple needs for a getaway on San Juan island. The house is designed to take full advantage of the gorgeous scenery. A wall of windows lets in the light and views, a porch runs the length of the property with comfortable chairs to relax and take it all in. The umbrella is perfectly situated to block the sun. There isn’t central heat but we never missed it between the warmth of the sun and the little heaters if needed. There is a Keurig that we were unprepared for but they had the cup to load your own coffee in that was a very nice touch. The host was super sweet and included recommendations of what to eat and do nearby. It was the perfect stay for our magical trip!!!!

Always available and close by for any assistance necessary.

Why they chose this property

The location of Haro Haiku is the main reason we chose to purchase it; Located on the WEST SIDE of San Juan Island with its spectacular vistas of Haro Straits, the Olympic Mountains, easy access to Lime Kiln State Park (Whale Watch Park), Serenity of the neighborhood (None to close, but not to far), and convenient to Friday Harbor.
Property is 3 acres with lots of privacy and views.

What makes this property unique

The Washington State Ferry from Anacortes to San Juan Island is now accepting vehicle reservations!

https://secureapps.wsdot.wa.gov/Ferries/Reservations/Vehicle/default.aspx

Here is some additional information that may help you:

98 miles - Travel time from Sea-Tac airport to the Anacortes ferry is approximately 2 hours or more.

82 miles - Travel time from downtown Seattle to the Anacortes ferry is approximately 1 hr. 25 minutes or more.
