Wonderful spot in Friday Harbor

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, based on both the house and its excellent location and walking access to so much of Friday Harbor. The space has historic interest, and is also well-organized, clean and with all the amenities. We would definitely stay again.

So close to everything!

I loves this 2 bedroom suite. It was cozy, had a little kitchen space (sink, fridge, microwave) and dining/sitting area. It was located right behind the San Juan Brewery and is only a 5 minute walk to the ferry dock.

Cute little place!

The rooms and beds were comfortable. Nice big bathroom. There aren't any microwave dishes, just plates, bowls, etc. Apparently there's a toaster available on request. The only place that info is listed is on one of the photos. Unfortunately, we didn't find that until the day we were leaving. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

Mom and daughter trip

Great location, very short walk to the harbor and restaurants. We enjoyed the 2 nice sized bedrooms, sitting room, little kitchenette w coffee pot and microwave and bathroom with all the needed amenities. No noise from other guests in other suites, completely seamless online check-in and check out were also a bonus! Would definitely stay here again! Plenty of parking for our rental car which we definitely would recommend to drive to all the gorgeous parks and beaches on the island.

Great location. Kitchenette is tiny.

Rooms are nice and comfortable. One room needed black out curtains to block out the light. The kitchenette is really not for preparing any food, too tiny. Location is great, easy to walk to town.

It was pleasure to stay in this house.

Cozy house in a good location: near the ferry, parks, shops. Instructions was detailed and understandable. Two details can improve the experience, for example: 1) make it so that the bathroom door can be closed; 2) add a small electric stove, some salt and sugar to the kitchen.

What a great 2 bedroom

We loved this house! Great communication with the owner. So nice to have super easy directions to get to the house. We thought it was even better than the pictures! So nice and quiet at night. Beautiful front porch to start the day on. Walking to town was a breeze. COMFORTABLE beds. Everything we needed to feel at home.

Nice 2 Bedroom Unit

Bedrooms were nice. Front room was a little quirky and tight. Banquet was not that comfortable. TV was size off a computer monitor! Kitchenet was lacking a toaster/toaster oven and counter space. Location was great, close to downtown Friday Harbor. I would still come back to this location.

Great Location

Blocks from the ferry, close to restaurants and coffee shops. The room was a bit too cold even with heaters but it did have enough blankets to keep us warm. Internet was a bit slow but it’s possible it was due to the high winds (early March).

Nice but, expensive

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Honestly great location, but furniture was stylish but no comfortable, I distinctly remember signing up to pay less than I did for this site, and honestly I would not stay here again for the cost. I will look into staying at a local hotel for about $20-50 a night less.

Acanthus Farmer Suite, great location for your trip

The Acanthus Farmer suite is well set up with two bedrooms, a small kitchenette, and general room. The weather was warm while we were there, so we appreciated the fans in the unit. We did have some issues keeping the windows open for the fans to pull air, but managed to work around it. The beds were quite comfortable. The Acanthus Suites are in an excellent location. We were able to walk to all the restaurants and sights in Friday Harbor easily. The car was only used when we left Friday Harbor. The big front porch on the Acanthus Suites, was a big hit in the mornings and evenings.

The window situation bothered me a bit. Only a few windows actually opened, and the ones that did would not stay, had to prop them open with something.

Great Beds, Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: 3 of us stayed for 3 days and it was very enjoyable. The beds were super comfortable and the location wa great. Everything was as described in the listing. My only question would be why the small gathering room is not set up better to accommodate guests more comfortably. A small couch and a chair with the TV on the other side would have been much better in the evenings. But all in all we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.
