Beautiful property in amazing area!

We loved every minute of our stay in Friday Harbor. The home was beautifully maintained and perfect for our time on SJI. The view is incredible, a perfect way to start and end your day. We saw eagles, owls, deer, river otters and various birds in our short time at the property. The close proximity to Friday Harbor is perfect, close but far enough to feel secluded. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable stay while exploring all that SJI has to offer.

Dream house!

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: Wow - this property is incredible! The house has stunning views, and we couldn't get enough of watching the water and the eagles flying by the house. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable, and the property is very quiet. Best sleep I've had in ages! The house is in perfect condition, incredibly clean, and everything is thoughtfully and clearly labeled. The location was great, and we were happy to be close to Friday Harbor but not in the touristy chaos of Friday Harbor. Please note that you need to climb up a spiral staircase to get to the primary bedroom (this was not a problem for us, but it might be for guests with mobility limitations). We absolutely loved this property - I would live permanently in this house if I could!

Celebrating 60!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: This home is wonderful and comfortable. It has all the amenities you need during your stay with a couple of exceptions. There were only 6 forks to use and no teaspoons. The other items of note were the house was not ready when we arrived at 3:53 and the cleaner acted annoyed we were early by 7 minutes. The additional item I would note is the home has a spiral staircase to get to the second floor and this is not noted in the description in the listing for this rental. It was fine for our party but if you had any kind of mobility issues it might be a challenge. I wish the weather had been a tiny bit more in our favor as this house has amazing decks and doors that open wide to enjoy the deck and views. I would highly recommend this home if you are coming to the San Jaun Island for a visit. Thanks for the wonderful place to stay and the memories. Cheers!

Awe Inspiring Perfection

Put this on your bucket list! While everyone stages their property for the photos, this may be the one property that is anti-staged! The House of the Ocean Sun absolutely exceeds the amazing pictures and write-up in every way. Views are epic. The property is immaculately maintained and the kitchen is fully equipped—it even has an espresso machine that converted us away from pods. This beautiful property made a very special trip for us worry free. Thank you to the hosts for making this possible.

Best VRBO ever!

Stunning views, beautifully appointed home, enjoyed every part of our stay from sunrises in the Adirondack chairs to sunsets in the hot tub. Kitchen had all amenities we needed for meals. The coffee bar with espresso machine, multiple types of coffee beans and syrups were a great touch. Champagne was chilled and welcoming when we arrived. We saw whales, dolphins, and deer all from the back deck . We will be back!

Amazing Seaside getaway with all amenities

We had an absolutely amazing time with the view and all of the great amenities the house had to offer. We found ourselves staying in more than going out! Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for any type of cooking or dessert making that one wants to do! Highly recommend staying at this property, secluded, quiet, and beautiful. I know I will be back.

Incredible property on San Juan Island

Wow, what a stunning place! The house itself is wonderful, extremely comfortable and cozy with pretty much everything you could want. Having coffee beans on hand was a great touch to make it easy to have a great cup of coffee while admiring the fantastic view. While the house itself is wonderful, the view is that much better. The large porch and additional chairs down closer to the water made it easy to just chill when not out enjoying the rest of what San Juan Island has to offer. We would absolutely love to come stay again!

San Juan Gem

This property had many modern amenities., from the cozy fireplace, fancy shower, appliances to the hot tub with amazing view. We did have someone using the living room pull out couch, so it would be nice to have shades or curtain, for better sleep. Otherwise everything was great. We even saw a few dolphins, seal and deer!

Wonderful weekend getaway, and loved our stay on the island. Everything was well equipped for our stay. This is definitely minor, but you should get a new can opener. The one in the house last oks lovely, but is not functional.

Best VRBO we have experienced

We loved our stay. We VRBO often and this tops the list. Not just because the house was beautiful and in a beautiful location, but also because the hosts thought of everything (so we didn’t have to)! So many details, niceties, and it included everything you wish all rentals would include—spices, olive oil, TP, paper towels, laundry soap, dish and dishwasher detergent, literally everything. Oh, and we were greeted with a hand-written welcome note and a bottle of champagne on ice! Truly 5 stars all the way around.

Amazing Place and Memorable Stay!

We are a family of 5 - My wife and I + 3 older kids. 5 night stay. From the moment we drove up and walked in, we were in awestruck. The location is ideal and the view is amazing! On the water and isolated, yet just 10 min from downtown Friday Harbor. Super comfortable and modern with all the supplies you need for a memorable and relaxing stay. Especially loved the espresso machine, vinyl record player, hot tub and grill! Appreciated the extra amenities and touches too - hot tub towels, extra coffee and espresso beans, laundry and dishwasher detergents, and champagne on ice upon arrival! 😊 We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone!
