Friday Harbor house rentals

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location which is close enough to downtown Friday Harbor. Very nice view of the water. Good privacy. House has been updated nicely. Good wifi. Furniture is nice. Medium size fridge. Good amenities. Center of roof is all skylight so you get lighting which will be nice in more overcast/cooler months. No AC which is usual for San Juans. This is a new property to the property managers and we strongly suggest the owners install some screens on the downstairs windows and door to allow the house to get cooled down in the later afternoon without letting in too many mosquitos (which weren't too bad honestly).

We had a family wedding on San Juan Island and this cottage was the perfect spot for our stay. Close driving distance from Friday Harbor and the ferry landing, and walking distance to several beach spots. I appreciated the craftsmanship and charm of the cottage and it came equipped with everything we needed for our extended weekend get-away.

The house and property were stunning and so much better than we expected.

Great location, very clean and all the amenities you need to make a rental feel like home. Highly recommend!

This is the second time with have stayed at this beautiful location. The wildlife we saw right from our bedroom windows was amazing!!! Eagles, great blue herons, a couple of loons, kingfishers, numerous water birds, deer, and a couple of foxes too! We brought our kayaks and had a lot of fun paddling right from this property. Highly recommend!!!

In our many decades of travel we have never stayed in a vacation rental home as wonderful as this! The hosts have thought of every detail to make you feel welcome. From large fluffy towels to cabinets labeled with contents everything is just right. The bay in front of the home is 100 yards wide and about 1 mile long…well protected from the weather. This makes it ideal for paddleboarding and kayaking. The beach provides a great place to pull water toys up and out of the water. 50 steps takes you up to the home with a well built wrap around deck. The main room is comfortable and the dining area easily seats 6. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could want and a step through an entry room takes you outside to the circular driveway. The bedrooms are spacious and the comforters thick and warm. There is plenty of hot water for the jetted tub or shower. The walls are covered with beautiful art and decorations enhance every counter. The hosts even set out a small container of dog treats…! If you are looking for a place that feels more like the home of an old friend, and less like a typical vacation rental then this is the one for you. We would rate this home 10 stars if that were possible.

Where do I begin? Communication with owner was outstanding. She was very prompt with her responses. Check in super easy with a code. The house itself was beautiful and very well appointed. Lots of spices, ketchup, mayo, etc. Tons of kitchen tools. The owner even left us wood and kindling to make a fire in the wood stove. The deck was a great place to hang out with beautiful views. No neighbors and Friday Harbor was about 8 minutes away. Probably the best VRBO experience I’ve had.

Songbird Retreat had everything advertised and more! Comfortable, well-equipped and clean as a whistle - our time there made island life feel very attractive. Thanks for sharing this wonderful property!
