We stayed here two nights. The space is huge! The beds were comfortable when we first arrived we were concerned there was no a/c, but opened the windows and turned on the fans and it was great! Loved the attached patio, this is where I drank coffee and had breakfast. Location is great, everything is within walking distance!
This is a great place to stay. the location is perfect and close to everything in Friday Harbor. we loved the outdoor deck. we were traveling as a family so having to go through the one bedroom for the bathroom was not an issue for us. the kitchen was well stocked and very large and usable. Very comfortable and had a "good vibe"!
We wanted to share this special island with our granddaughter as part of her High School Graduation Trip. This is one of our favorite places to stay on Friday Harbor, it’s a well kept secret! It’s super clean, comfortable and convenient to everything!
The suite was spacious, clean, and comfortable. There were no doors, just curtains on the bedrooms. The bathroom was in one of the bedrooms, but we all know each other well so it worked out fine.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. It's very close to many restaurants and had a nice layout. Disappointed that it was advertised as having cable tv, but there was not a tv, only the hook up. Also the refrigerator did not work and we lost some food that we brought with us. I would stay again though.
We appreciated the spacious interior, great location, good wifi. The patio on the back was nice, even though it just looked out onto the back of a steel building with a peek at the harbor. A major downside/something to work on is cooling down the place. There were 2 dusty fans that we had to use creatively for air flow and even on a 70 degree day it got uncomfortably warm. There was also no TV and the kitchen could have used a potholder and some oil, but otherwise was very easy to use. The host didn't offer information unprompted, such as check in/out, but got back to me quickly about questions.
Our stay was fine. We were disappointed that the listing mentioned TV and there was none. Kitchen was delightful. Bedrooms were fine although it would have been good to know that the one bathroom was off one of the bedrooms. Owner was quite responsive to our few requests. Parking great. Location great. Upholstered futon and cushions do not feel fresh.
My friend and i had a wonderful stay above Funk & Junk. The location is perfect for walking abound town, plus a couple of delicious restaurants very close by!
This stay was perfect for what we needed! Fully equipped kitchen, prime location with everything in Friday harbor within walking distance, super easy check-in/out process! Highly recommend!
We loved staying so close to town and walking to restaurants. The restaurant next door was a little loud in the morning, but otherwise it was good. The beds were comfortable. Overall we had a great stay.
This property is perfect for the weekend getaway. Loved the location, close to marina, downtown, great restaurants. Looking forward to going back soon.
Our stay was amazing. This apartment is walking distance to most everything you want to venture to. Our accommodations were comfortable, clean, and has everything you need. Would definitely stay again.
It was extremely clean and comfortable. Perfect location - walkable to everywhere downtown. (You do have to go through a bedroom to get to the bathroom, not an issue for us, but may be for others).
We loved the window seat area inside, and were also lucky enough to have some good weather to utilize the deck outside.
We loved SJI, and would definitely come back here to stay.
We loved the this apartment for its comfort, light and personality. The location in the center of Friday Harbor could not be better. The island is beautiful and we enjoyed every moment of our stay.
Our experience in Friday Harbor with Annie was frustrating.From the start, we received no communication or confirmation about our reservation. On the morning of our arrival, we had to contact Annie ourselves to confirm our accommodations.After we go there, Annie bombarded us with three conflicting emails throughout our stay, demanding additional payments for extra guests. Our group was below the maximum capacity of the listing, yet her charges varied wildly—first 20, then 60, and then 132—in successive emails. We were not informed of the per-person charge for guests in the listing or through prior communication. Past Vrbo's we've stayed at have not had these charges, so the way these were handled felt non-transparent and unusual, especially since we never exceeded the maximum guest limit. We agreed to pay the additional charges, but the explanation we got made us feel that we were getting price gouged. She claimed our 200 per person charge was to cover her 700 monthly water bill, even though we only stayed in 1 of her units for 2 nights.Overall, our interactions with Annie felt untrustworthy and left us feeling taken advantage of. The stress and confusion during our stay overshadowed the weekend. I hope that Annie improves her communication and transparency for future guests because it truly is a nice unit.
Three of us stayed here, there were 2 beds and a futon, so we each had a place to sleep. The location was fantastic- easy walking access to everything in Friday Harbor, but off the beaten path enough for it to be quiet at night. The owner was incredibly helpful when VRBO 'could not find' our reservation about an hour before check in! She knew we were coming and was ready with instructions for arrival. The place itself was cozy and well thought out.
This little apartment is in great walking distance to everything. The ferry arrives 2 blocks away, it has shops & places to eat all around it. Right next door is the moped rental company as well. The space is a little dated but clean and airy. We would stay again if every out this way.
We had a lovely stay for a long weekend in Annie’s room. The listing is 100% accurate. annd photos are true to life. You cannot beat the location to stay in Friday Harbor, everything you need is in walking distance. She is a delight to talk to (downstairs in her shop) and the entire process was smooth. We loved drinking coffee in the morning on the deck and opening doors and windows to let the harbor breeze in (as it’s an upstairs unit it could get warm on a hot day w/o AC but they don’t seem to have many of those days!) We would love to come back for another stay!
