We loved our 4 night stay here! There are gorgeous water and mountain views from every bedroom, beach access, fully stocked kitchen, easy check in process, comfortable beds, and nice bathrooms. Weâve already recommended it to other family members, and weâd gladly stay here again.
This home was great for our group visiting for a friends wedding. Beautiful view, lots of space, nice patio area and access to a cute beach area at the water. Highly recommend!
Very nice property with access to the beach. The house itself was in excellent condition and had great views of the ocean. A very pleasant stay. I would stay where again.
Thank you so much for making your beautiful waterfront home available through VRBO. I canât imagine a nicer place to stay on the island for a large group. Everything was immaculate and the view was incredible from every room. Awesome artwork! We enjoyed our visit to San Juan Island and much of it was being able to stay at the Alba Vista.
Great house in good Friday Harbor location....close to town and easy access to the rest of the island. With 3 couples in our group, this house met our needs well with bedroom, kitchen, and dining space. The guest house added even more flexibility. I would stay here again.

4 generations met here for a week of tide pooling, bar-b-queing and wonderful relaxing. Alba Vista was close to everything we needed, but far enough away to enjoy nature. The stars were amazing!!

Perfect for our family. Located next door to us so that family could come and go easily for meals and activity planning. The house was very well appointed with plenty of everything...dishes, utensils, linens.

We enjoyed this little "escape" from reality and the peace and quiet it brought. The views of the bay were wonderful to look at it and get lost in thought.The little cabin was an added bonus for our "princess"
Wonderful, peaceful, artsy paradise in the woods. thank you for sharing you beautiful home.
It would have been great to have the umbrella on the deck.
The hot water problem was fixed, but took a little time.
Perfect set up for our friends with kids. We love how close to town we are, but not right IN town. The only thing we arenât a huge fan of is the downstairs smells like a cat box. If you live with cats, maybe it wouldnât bother you. But overall we still love this house and hope to visit each year with our friends.

The Alba house was very clean,nice sunrise views. Enjoyed our stay. Furniture in living rooms needs replaced as you sink into them, especially the chairs. It could also use some end tables and or coffee table.

This home is very spacious. It sits on Griffin bay with beautiful views. There was space for each family to have their own space. The outdoor deck was comfortable to sit on in the late afternoon. We like to cook and planned to have most meals at the house. The old pots and pans made that quite a challenge. The bed in the cottage sagged in the middle. And the downstairs door to the outside did not have a curtain for privacy. But despite these items we really enjoyed the home and property.
Overall experience was above average. Did call on Friday afternoon (9/13) to inquire about a lack of heat in the mother-in-law building roughly 4:00PM. Did not receive a response and resolution until the voice message was returned at 10:00am the following day. The problem was resolved but response was not timely.
Only other issue was the lack of a "Rental Property Guidebook/Binder". The only house rules that were somewhat vague came in the form of an email. A Guidebook/Binder would have been helpful on how to get heat from all the gas fireplaces (3) as well as suggestions for Grocery Store, Restaurants, etc.
Not having available coffee for at least the first morning was the biggest reason for not giving this a 5 Star Review.

We stayed for three nights and it was a very lovely home - clean, well stocked, great to be on the water. Easy to communicate with owners/management. We'd love to come again!
