HARO HAIKU is located on the West side of beautiful San Juan Island.
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. Approaching the house, you pass by our Japanese-inspired garden with a 62 year old Bonsai black pine center piece.
BE SURE TO VIEW THE PHOTOS OF THE NEW, COMPLETELY REMODELED KITCHEN AND MASTER BATH !!
Inside Haro Haiku you'll find a contemporary blend of eastern and western style and decor with a decidedly Asian attitude. The interior lets the outside in through an ingenious use of sky lights and widow placements in the exterior and interior walls.
The views are spectacular!!
From South Vancouver island, 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

About Stephanie
We have lived on San Juan Island for 26 years. We owned and operated Lakedale Resort for 18 of those. We are very knowledgeable about what to do, where to eat, and out of the way places to hike, beach or..? We can help you with reservations for activities, dining or self guided tours of the islands. Always available and close by for any assistance necessary.
Stephanie purchased this house in 2005
Why Stephanie chose San Juan Island
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.

Guestbook comments from the owner
"Hello,
I haven't had a chance to write you until now, but i just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your lovely home. It was beyond all our expectations and we couldn't stop talking about how wonderful it was. (both the house and the location) our stay was glorious and much (or most) of that can be attributed to the haro haiku house. Thank you for your contribution to a wonderful weekend!
-Holly S.

p.p.s. tom (my husband) requests that you contact us should you ever want to sell your home!"

A lovely home and a beautiful view
We really enjoyed our stay at Haro Haiku. The home is very comfortable and includes all you need for a relaxing stay. The view is amazing. We hope to return soon.
Beautiful home with an unbelievable view
Our time was too short, we loved this home, the view and the island. It is a magical place.
Beautiful Home With An Amazing View
We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at this house and would highly recommend it. It was the best rental house we've ever stayed in and everything is top-notch including the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. The view from the deck is stunning. We spent hours out there reading and just relaxing. It's a 15-20 minute drive into downtown Friday Harbor with lots of restaurants. We preferred staying on the west side of the island as it provides more seclusion and the best views. We hope to return to San Juan Island and stay here again.
Too many issues with the water.
The house was beautiful and the views were excellent. One day we had no power for 3 hrs. The next we had no water. The next we had water but no hot water. Not good!
Fabulous views
Our family of five (2 adults and 3 teenage boys) stayed for four nights. The views of Haro Straight are stunning. The home is well maintained, the master bathroom looks like it was recently remodeled and it's pretty fabulous. This was our first time in the San Juan Islands and staying here was delightful and everything we expected based on the other reviews. We will return. We didn't meet Stephanie or Jack during our stay but I had their cell number should we need anything and that was fine.
Incredible views, beautiful house, perfect stay
"This is our third time on S Juan Island and first time at Stephanie and Jack's house. As we arrived we were greeted by a beautiful black fox with a white tip. The place is breathtaking. Incredibly peaceful and quiet, other than the buzzing of hummingbirds, the whispering trees and the breaking of the waves. in the distance you see the Olympic mountains and Vancouver island. We did not spot the orcas but we did see on two mornings the porpoises frolicking in the surface. The house is beautiful and modern and equipped with all the comforts you need and beyond. Just sitting on the deck, in the evening looking at the sunset or in the morning is priceless and incredible and for that alone worth staying at this house. We will come back for sure! Tanya and Kyran "
