Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this nice residence located in Friday Harbor about 8-10mns from the town itself. We enjoyed the sunrise every morning there with beautiful views on the water. The house is well secluded and private. Evrything was clean. We had a full kitchen + washer/dryer.
We would, however, suggest the following:
1) Make sure the entrance to the residence is way better marked and well-lit. When we came in, it was late in the evening and we had a vry hard time finding the netrance to the driveway to the residence. The house is tucked in all the way inside, as thre is a very long driveway to get there. Need better lighting and better signs to indicate the location of the residence to guide you to get in the driveway itself then to the residence.
2) The furnitures in the home are way too old and obsolete. No real entertainment, since the TV has very limited programming, if you decide to stay in to chill out 1 day or so, before heading out on your journey in Friday Harbor. For the cost of renting this place for a week or so, we think that the furniture altogether needs major update/upgrade. TV is very small. A nice flat screen with major programming is necessary.
3) Cell phone reception is not stable, if you have Verizon wireless. Better reception with T-Mobile. Weird, since Verizon is supposed to be the "jewel of the crown" when it comes to cell service.
All in All, we had a nice stay in the San Juans, as we were able to visit all 3 islands with our base in Friday Harbor: Had great time in Orcas and Lopez Island as well.
Well worth visiting.
