Enjoyed my stay in this charming Craftsmen Style Home, which was conveniently located near downtown Friday Harbor. The location made it quick and easy drive to any of the beaches and walking distance to Friday Harbor's many restaurants, stores and bars.

We had a great stay! The two rooms were bright, inviting, and impeccably clean. Property management was quick to respond, and the housekeeper was especially friendly. The location was idealâjust a short walk from the ferry and a perfect home base for exploring Friday Harbor.
Adequate accommodations for our family of five. The only real bummer was the water pressure in the shower...it was basically a dribble. Other than dishes and flatware, the kitchen has no utensils/supplies, so plan on bringing your own if youâre like us and cook with an instant pot while traveling. Easy walk to town and a very friendly staff.
The Acanthus Suites are just adorable. A historic little spot within walking distance of everything in Friday Harbor. The pictures in the hallway describing the history of the home and the area added to the quaint and homey vibe.
Thanks for a lovely stay!
Loved the location and sleeping arrangements were adequate. Bed in Annex was very hard and that room was very hot even with windows open and fan going. We were so busy we didn't use the tiny TV. Only real sitting area is the dining table. Five of us stayed and it was a reasonable cost.

The property was actually two disconnected rooms with a bathroom in one, but it actually worked out just fine for a group of 6 (2 couples and 2 singles). Place was clean, charming, and very centrally located. Would absolutely stay here again!
We were very happy with the cleanliness and location of the property. The layout of the Miner suite and Annex is a bit strange and it would help to make a floor plan available for guests before booking. We were also surprised that there were no tea/coffee supplies available.
We loved staying her on our trip to Friday Harbor. The location was wonderful and we could easily walk to town. I wish it would have been more clearly advertised that the room next door comes with it as well. Although we wouldn't have felt comfortable having our kids in the separate room because there are other people in the house also. We stayed in the one room all together and it was great. We loved Friday Harbor and will be back!

Overall the main room was pretty dirty (it was clear it had not been cleaned in a while). The annex room was also full of dust and required many hours of opening the windows & using the fan (so bad that most people in our group refused to sleep in there). The sheets didn't look entirely clean either and everything had that feeling like you didn't want to touch it. Even the bath towel scraped up my face (something sharp on the towel). The location was excellent, but if you can book a different VRBO, I definitely would -- I would NOT stay here again! There were also a million strict house rules communicated ahead of time so it didn't feel very homey. The property managers should do a better job of cleaning / airing it out and also loosen up a bit on how they communicate on the rules.

Multi unit place. 5 different units. We had no issues with noise. We stayed in the Miners room, there are stairs to this room, again no issue for us. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, microwave and fridge. Room is perfect for two people. We loved the close proximity to town, it allowed us to explore the town. I would recommend.

I bring 20 friends to the San Juans to go triking every year. We always rent from San Juan Property Management. Acanthus is very close to downtown. It's got great parking. We can all stay together and still have privacy. Nice place

Acanthus Suites is easy to get to. They provide parking, and everything in Friday Harbor is within easy walking distance. I felt safe staying at this property.

We wanted a quick girls get away. The rental was clean, within walking distance to everything, and comfortable. It is not fancy but we were enjoying the island and spending time with each other.

We had a great time visiting Friday Harbor for Christmas! The rental/property were just perfect for what we had planned. The location is close to town and the ferry, making this a great place for those walking on, while the oversized parking lot makes it great for driving in as well. We would 100% book with SJPM again and again!
This was an upstairs studio/attic room called the Miner's Room, and, frankly, it looked like a low class place underground workers would go to for a short sleep before hitting the mines again. Examples:
- The windows were small, didn't open far enough to cool in a hot summer (no a/c).
- The kitchenette was 1970s style with formica and vinyl everywhere. Fridge and microwave were itry bitty.
- Furniture was decrepit. Table was falling apart, armoir could only hold clothes if they went in the wrong way, drawers wouldn't slide right / fell off. These weren't antique, they were low class thrift store quality.
- Throw rug over the vinyl floor was threadbare and very dirty. Bedclothess looked 20 years old - tattered and faded color.
- Bathroom was smallest we've ever had, maybe under 20 sq ft? Motel 6 would've been a big step up. Hot water heater and cleaner stuff were behind the thinnest of curtains was not very clean.
- TV was a joke. My computer monitor at home was a much better quality.
