I came from Seattle with my partner & in-laws who were visiting from out of state and wanted to see the islands. The property location is supreme, just a five minute drive from Friday Harbor, making grocery shopping, exploring, & accessing the ferry effortless. The home is beautiful with jaw-dropping views of the Salish Sea; you could spend hours sitting on the deck watching the light change with the passing sun; on our first evening we even saw two humpback whales swimming by. Kitchen was spacious and well-stocked, and we appreciated the books and thoughtful touches throughout.
My primary comments for improvement would be some thoughtful updates to sleeping accommodations. Both mattresses felt old, creaky, and misshapen after presumed years of use, and pillows were thin and flimsy. The wide windows that offer such beautiful views proved troublesome for sleeping during the northwest's long summer days, as darkness didn't settle until 10pm and we were all woken by the early summer sunrise pouring in at 5am with no blinds to help us fall back to sleep. As a result, all four of us slept poorly both nights of our stay. I would also recommend a larger tv with improved seating layout for visitors who may want to unwind and watch a movie together after a full day exploring the island. All in all, this is a beautiful property with incredible views in a fabulous location, but more care could be paid to physical comfort and details that consider visitor's experience in the space.
