Short walk to a Beach! Near Town! (TPR)

A beautiful 3-bedroom home tucked in the woods, long walking distance to Downtown Friday Harbor! Short walk to the Beach! Enjoy the best of both worlds in this secluded, forest-surrounded home, while also being just outside of Downtown! (Turn Point Retreat).
This house is ideal for your family adventure to San Juan Island! This lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is spaciously surrounded by fresh evergreen trees with much filtered light throughout the house.
Offering a bathroom on both levels of the home, plus 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs (plus an office with a futon), this house is spacious enough for two families.

Enjoy preparing your meals in the spacious kitchen and unwinding with family around the dining table. Catch a peek-a-boo view of the sunrise off the front porch while sipping your morning coffee among the local wildlife and ample deck furniture.

Less than half a mile away is Turn Point Beach, a perfect spot for beach combing, tidepool exploring, and the occasional orca whale spotting.

Downtown Friday Harbor is only 2 miles away, making this home a convenient spot for those desiring the seclusion of a PNW forest and the close proximity to town!

The easy access to downtown Friday Harbor will be a breeze for dining, shopping, catching a tour or shuttle, or just swinging by the grocery store. Cyclists will find the Turn Point Road loop a scenic 4-mile (roundtrip) bike ride (bicycles not provided on-site).

Other nearby attractions include Jackson Beach, LaFarge Open Space, San Juan County Fairgrounds, the Saturday Farmer's Market at Brickworks, the Port of Friday Harbor Marina, and the delicious restaurants of Friday Harbor.

Lovely house close to Friday Harbor

Beautiful Getaway

What a wonderful home! It was perfect for our family, and we enjoyed every minute we were there! We arrived after dark, and the home was well-lit and inviting. The beds were comfortable, and we were able to prepare several meals in the well-stocked kitchen. We loved sitting outside at the picnic table. If we return to Friday Harbor, we will book this property again.

Beware False Advertising

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Disappointed with our experience at this place. Technically you can put 8 people in this place; we had 6 people and it still felt very cramped. Anyone calling this "master craftsmanship" doesnt know the meaning; more like cabin craftsmanship. The stove is broken. There is another house essentially in the front yard and their garage is in your back yard, which makes the site feel small and intrusive. There is no view except trees and fence that attempts to screen you from the neighbor. Not like we could spend much time in the yard anyway, the septic system is failing and the place stunk like a sewer. The property manager sent several texts and emails but answered none. To be fair, the bedrooms were nice and the beds were very comfortable. The common spaces were cramped. The Turn Point Park is about a 10 minute walk, but its tiny; kind of a kayak launch but not much else. You can see lots of people enjoying their waterfront properties from there, which will give you something to think about while youre slapping bugs in the woods smelling the sewer. For what you get, the price is absurd. I would not recommend this place to a friend.
