The Acanthus Suites are just adorable. A historic little spot within walking distance of everything in Friday Harbor. The pictures in the hallway describing the history of the home and the area added to the quaint and homey vibe. Thanks for a lovely stay!

4th of July

Loved the location and sleeping arrangements were adequate. Bed in Annex was very hard and that room was very hot even with windows open and fan going. We were so busy we didn't use the tiny TV. Only real sitting area is the dining table. Five of us stayed and it was a reasonable cost.

Overall happy with our stay

We were very happy with the cleanliness and location of the property. The layout of the Miner suite and Annex is a bit strange and it would help to make a floor plan available for guests before booking. We were also surprised that there were no tea/coffee supplies available.

Too overpriced for sub-par room

This was an upstairs studio/attic room called the Miner's Room, and, frankly, it looked like a low class place underground workers would go to for a short sleep before hitting the mines again. Examples: - The windows were small, didn't open far enough to cool in a hot summer (no a/c). - The kitchenette was 1970s style with formica and vinyl everywhere. Fridge and microwave were itry bitty. - Furniture was decrepit. Table was falling apart, armoir could only hold clothes if they went in the wrong way, drawers wouldn't slide right / fell off. These weren't antique, they were low class thrift store quality. - Throw rug over the vinyl floor was threadbare and very dirty. Bedclothess looked 20 years old - tattered and faded color. - Bathroom was smallest we've ever had, maybe under 20 sq ft? Motel 6 would've been a big step up. Hot water heater and cleaner stuff were behind the thinnest of curtains was not very clean. - TV was a joke. My computer monitor at home was a much better quality.

Not what it cracked up to be

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the main room was pretty dirty (it was clear it had not been cleaned in a while). The annex room was also full of dust and required many hours of opening the windows & using the fan (so bad that most people in our group refused to sleep in there). The sheets didn't look entirely clean either and everything had that feeling like you didn't want to touch it. Even the bath towel scraped up my face (something sharp on the towel). The location was excellent, but if you can book a different VRBO, I definitely would -- I would NOT stay here again! There were also a million strict house rules communicated ahead of time so it didn't feel very homey. The property managers should do a better job of cleaning / airing it out and also loosen up a bit on how they communicate on the rules.

Walking distance to Friday Harbor!

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: Multi unit place. 5 different units. We had no issues with noise. We stayed in the Miners room, there are stairs to this room, again no issue for us. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, microwave and fridge. Room is perfect for two people. We loved the close proximity to town, it allowed us to explore the town. I would recommend.

The location is close to town and the ferry, making this a great place for those walking on, while the oversized parking lot makes it great for driving in as well. We would 100% book with SJPM again and again!
