Lovely home between Friday and Roche Harbor. From the views to the comfortable, cozy feel. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
My sister and I had a wonderful writing retreat at the House of the Ocean Sun. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and cozy. The view was spectacular. We hope to return again soon!
Home was unique. We loved the design. The internet and WiFi was not good. We suffered through okay. Had a great time.

This is a beautiful and well stocked property. The view is as pictured and so peaceful. We loved it.
Our stay at this vacation rental was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how spotless the home was and by the incredible attention to detail throughout the space. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and clearly explained, making our stay effortless and stress-free. We’ve never stayed in a vacation rental where instructions were so well laid out and where the home was so well stocked with absolutely everything we needed.The hosts were incredibly welcoming, which made us feel right at home. And the view—simply breathtaking. Watching orcas swim by right outside the living room windows was an unforgettable experience and something we’ll always treasure.This was an outstanding stay in every way, and we would absolutely stay here again without hesitation.
Place was nice for the 3 of us. However, if you have a child that is younger than 5 it may be challenging given the layout. Had everything that we needed and amazing views.

Girls trip - we had a fabulous time!
The house was in a good location. However, the furniture in the main living was well used, sat very low making it hard to get up and down.

Highly recommend this beautiful home! Every bit as beautiful as the pictures. So stylish, surprisingly high quality interiors - Well stocked with everything we needed. Great location - stunning views! And the rental process was simple and well managed. We would rent this place again in a heartbeat!
It was the most incredible view and stay. The view is unparalleled and the house beautifully updated. We sat in the hot tub while watching the sunset and were lucky enough to witness orcas diving in the sea….truly magical!!
Fabulous! From the location, the decor, the views, this is paradise. Just so we could enjoy the deck with the million dollar view we would pick up takeout so we could enjoy time at the house. Our days were filled with hiking and biking and exploring the islands.
My wife and I spent a week at this amazing property. The views are stunning. We saw dolphins, deer, and whales all from deck. Easy to get to and private.
We loved every minute of our stay in Friday Harbor. The home was beautifully maintained and perfect for our time on SJI. The view is incredible, a perfect way to start and end your day. We saw eagles, owls, deer, river otters and various birds in our short time at the property. The close proximity to Friday Harbor is perfect, close but far enough to feel secluded. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable stay while exploring all that SJI has to offer.
