About this property
Unique Waterfront Beach House, 1 mile from Friday Harbor
This two-bedroom cottage is just a mile from the town of Friday Harbor but offers a perfect way to get away from it all with a lush back yard that looks out over the ocean with incredible views of Jackson Beach.
San Juan Island is famous for its beaches, and at low tide you can step off the sea wall on the property and walk across to explore to your heart's content.
When you're done with your day, the sound of gently running water outside will lull you to sleep.
Fiber internet connection allows your whole family to work or remote school.
Constructed in 2018, the house is a cozy 1000 square feet with two bedrooms and a high end custom queen wall bed to the side of the living room. Full kitchen, washer, dryer and Internet access are all provided.
The jewel of the space is the views from the living area and bedrooms across Jackson Beach to the south. They're unobstructed and unforgettable.
You'll be located on one of the only saltwater rivers in the western United States, a fascinating natural oddity where fresh water melds with salt and then flows back with the tides.
The house also contains a display of tools and arrowheads found at the nearby archaeological site dating from 2,500 to 5,000 years old.
Other property owners have access to a nearby common areas but the guest yard and beach access is completely private.
I am happy to be available if you have any needs regarding the space, but otherwise you'll be left to your privacy.

1. Pets must be in control on the property and stay within the property lines (yard is not enclosed) 2. Pets must do no damage to the house. 3.

We needed to be on the island for a work related reason. Super friendly host and very easy check in and check out and a beautiful view. Thank you so much!
Another great stay at Cannery Row. We saw tons of wildlife (including a silver fox) and enjoyed the peaceful setting on the water. This place is a gem.
Walking into the house, it was exactly as it is posted, but of course better in person! The setup was perfect for my family. The view was absolutely amazing! We had a couple of days of sun and one with rain, and we enjoyed all the weather changes from the house. The host was very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!
We’ve stayed at this house multiple times and always enjoy the wonderful location - very quiet and peaceful! It has plenty of room for two people and two small dogs. Checking in and out was very easy!
This is our 3rd time staying at Nigel's property in Friday Harbor. The location is perfect, the amenities are exactly what you need, and the setting is one of a kind. We're already looking forward to visit #4.
The property is everything it is advertised to be...and more! The waterfront house is immaculate, comfortable, and extremely well-stocked with kitchenware, cookware, and anything necessary for cooking. The view is spectacular and peaceful which describes our week's stay. Nigel, the host, is easy to communicate with and very responsive to any questions or needs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay (with a wonderful view).
Great location and communication from the host. We loved being right on the water and exploring the area. We will be back!

Beautiful location!
The house was cosy but very clean and comfortable. Being able to wake up to that view and sound of running water was delightful.
We'd love to stay here again!

Thank you for the kind review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay!
We were here for my Mother’s funeral so needed a place close to Jackson Beach. House was very clean. Has 2 bedrooms with I believe queen size beds and one Murphy bed that could sleep 2. Right on the beach. Would recommend
We very much enjoyed our stay. A mile from Friday Harbor and a very unique location on the water. We saw an otter, seal, eagles and heron sitting out in the chairs adjacent to the water.
This house was perfect for our visit. The location was convenient to the town, being right on water was so fun, and the house itself was clean and full of games for the kids. The owner was very easy to get hold of. A great spot!
I walked into the house and gasped, WOW. When the tide is in it's almost like you're on a boat. And it just got better from there. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable sectional for both of us to stretch out and great beds. There was a huge map so you could appreciate where you are in the scheme of things. Hooks by the front door—thoughtful. Nigel was super responsive. Thumbs up on this house. Will be back.

I've lived in Friday Harbor for 16 years and love being able to share this beautiful property. I live about half a mile away so if there is anything you need, I can be right there.
Why they chose this property
It is not possible to describe how unique and beautiful this place is. The house is new in 2018, its cosy for the number of guests but the combination of south facing, the salt water river, sea wall, abundant life, lagoon, bay and being close to town make this house feel really special!
What makes this property unique
30ft from the water, the seawall, the view, the tranquility...
