Overview
1 Bedroom, full bath, sleeps two
HARO HAIKU is a licensed San Juan County Vacation Rental (#05CU11) 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.
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.

Why Stephanie chose Friday Harbor
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.

A beautiful and comfortable rental in a picturesque location
Haro Haiku is located about ten minutes from Friday harbor which is nice. The drive up to the rental is gorgeous. Some of the neighboring properties are so beautiful they make your mind wander. The rental itself is very well kept and equipped with all the dishes you could need a nice comfortable bed and a few fans for the bedside, not to mention the most amazing closet I’ve ever seen which also makes an amazing night light for younger guests. Lol. The only thing it lacks is A/C but every window is screened and opens and the ceiling fan helps a lot All in all it was a great stay. My daughter loved it and that’s truly what matters. Thanks Stephanie and Jack we will have our memories forever!
Perfect spot for our 3 day weekend!
The house is about a 15 minute drive to Friday Harbor town. It feels remote and also close enough to town to go in for a quick dinner. The home interior is exactly as pictured. The views are just as pictured, with the exception there is a large house to the right that is mostly not shown in the photos. Not sure if this place is a guest house for the main house below, but I wasn't expecting to see it when we pulled up. However, it really is not impeding the fantastic view!
Overall I'd say the home was comfortable, modern, great views, remote but not too remote. Would definitely stay again.
Fit our desires & needs. It was very hot, so we learned to pull down all shades in the afternoon.
I wish I could give all five stars. This is such a cute little guest house with a lovely view across the Straight of Juan de Fuca. I liked the nautical updated decor. The full kitchen is great, the bed is very comfortable and the privacy & quiet are wonderful. The one broken window shade that is stuck in the down position in front of the picture window was disappointing and the one small leather chair in the living room corner, looks attractive but is so wobbly no one can sit in it. A beautiful mosaic-topped table on the deck has broken legs. These are all minor fixes that could make this place perfect.
Adorable cottage!
The home is beautifully appointed, it has a wonderful location and it is in great condition!
Outstanding -- would happily return
Thanks to our great hosts, we had a terrific 2-week stay. Views were stunning and the rental was just what we expected. Delightful place -- we would happily return for another visit.
Beautiful, peaceful
If you are looking for a peaceful getaway in a beautiful place, this is IT! The view alone is worth the price. Seriously. But more than that, you will enjoy a well-designed, lovely, new, private guest house. It is especially great for singles or couples.The features you will enjoy include a comfy bed, a calming décor, a nice deck, cool breezes, daily deer visits, serenades by the birds -- in short, a great place to relax, read books and take naps. If you can't quite disconnect, then you also have internet access and DirecTV. Located on the lovely west side of San Juan Island, this place is just a short distance from Lime Kiln. If you want to go into town, the drive is easy and pleasant. I am not much of a cook, so was not bothered by the lack of a stovetop or oven. There is a microwave / convection oven and a grill; these worked well for me. I have stayed in several rentals on the island and this is my new favorite. I will be back. Come on; it's your vacation. Treat yourself!!!
