Places to stay in San Juan Islands

Gorgeous location, views are unbeatable. Such a lovely space, every member of the family read in the window seat at some point. Making breakfast and watching for the native otters to come play was a daily treat. The deck is massive and such a lovely vantage point of the harbor. So many critters to watch. Absolutely loved this home. We had 2 kids under 7 and they felt right at home with the stuffy toys and kids room with 2 single beds+. The house is about 5 min from the ferry and about 20-25 min from Eastsound - beautiful drive with lots of farm stands along the way.

This was such a perfect place! Absolutely squeaky clean, great vibes because you’re surrounded by trees, super quiet and a great layout for us. Definitely a favorite!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Windance Cottage during our visit to the San Juan Islands. The perfect location, the cottage is out of the hustle and bustle of Friday Harbour, but only a 15 minute drive into town, and easy access to the west side of the island, including a 5 minute drive up to Lime Kiln Point. The cottage is exactly as described, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Even better is the view from the picnic table/chairs on the water, perfect for watching whales or just enjoying the skyline. We didn't see any whales from the cottage, but did the morning we left further up at Lime Kiln - I'm sure they passed the property as well! Also, Gregory and his wife were perfect hosts - helping us out when we had questions, and ensuring we had everything we needed. I only wish that we were able to stay longer - highly recommend!

Had the best Mother’s Day weekend retreat with my family at Todd and Lori’s beautiful house. We had so much fun through the weekend because there was so many things to do close by! Would definitely come back here again, thank you Todd and Lori for being so accommodating and welcoming throughout our stay :)

The cottage is small but more than adequate. In the loft area there were another 3 beds that we did not use, but would be fun for 3 or 4 kids. It would not be considered luxury accommodation, but served us perfectly. The deck provides a tranquil setting with a wonderful view of the Haro strait with stunning sunsets and the comforting sounds of chirping birds. We explored all the walking trails recommended by our host, Mary Ellen, and returned in the late afternoon to enjoy a glass of wine and gentle music on the deck to view the slow passage of marine traffic. We could not have selected a better accommodation to enjoy exploring the San Juan island.

The Seldom Inn was just what I needed- quiet, peaceful and cozy. A weekend at the beach with sand in my toes, listening to nature and watching the dolphins swim by, I heard them first and had to look up from my watercolor painting. JoAnne and Michael welcomed me to their tiny cottage with open arms. I felt like family. I settled in and headed for a walk on the sandy beach where I found sand castles, shells and rocks. The beach goes on forever. JoAnne provided chairs, beach towels and a recommendation for a long walk. I love to cook and found the small kitchen well equipped and a clean bbq waiting for any chef to create a meal to match the delight in the atmosphere. The hide-a-bed was very comfortable and easy to hide for the day. This little secret cottage tucked away on the shore of Guemes Island has taken my heart and will become my go to place for quiet beach time. Thank you so much JoAnne and Michael.

Peaceful and beautiful stay at Brent & Shelly's. The place was just what we needed as an escape from the city to slow down and decompress. The "ADU" was separated from the main structure by a garage, so it was very quiet. There are 2 separate patio spaces to enjoy (which we did), and the hot tub was appreciated after my ocean dips. But the best was hanging out, walking the shore / road, and listening to birds. The house was clean, the kitchen worked well for cooking in, and we slept great in the king bed. What a great place to visit and worth a return trip - there was lots more to see. Highly recommend visiting the Artisan Wine Gallery for wine tasting with the locals and great conversation. Don't forget to bring groceries - on-island shopping and eating out is limited.

Wonderful place! Private, quiet, serene location with awesome deck and access to a sweet sandy cove. The cabin was very clean, pleasingly decorated with all the amenities needed. Steve was a friendly and very responsive host who quickly got back to us when we had questions. We are already planning a return trip!
