About this property
San Juan Island, Elwha Suite #1902
*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
You will feel like you’re living in a postcard when you stay at The Ferry Landing Suites! The Elwha Suite is a delightful two bedroom condo located on the center level of a landmark building just a few steps from the heart of historic Friday Harbor. There is no accommodation more convenient for walking from the ferry landing or seaplane dock should you choose to leave the car behind on the mainland. When you do bring the car, there’s a coveted on-site parking space reserved just for you.
You will find all the attractions and activities that Friday Harbor has to offer within a short stroll, including whale watching excursions, kayak adventures, local shops, fine galleries, theater, and an eclectic selection of restaurants. As an added bonus, there’s a coffee shop on the lower level where you can sip your morning latte, enjoy fresh baked goods, or enjoy a fresh fruit smoothie. During the summer, perch up on your balcony above the bustling street to enjoying watching the ferries glide in and out of the harbor. During the fall and winter months, you will find the Elwha a wonderful place to snuggle up indoors and enjoy the quiet, reflective atmosphere cherished by the locals.
The Elwha Suite is beautifully furnished, featuring two equal bedrooms, both with queen-sized beds. The living area is spacious offering a sleeper sofa, full kitchen, and dining table. A perfect choice for two couples or small family. This unit is people friendly, and not pet friendly.
Interim cleaning is available on request.
Please note this condo has 17 steps to get to the entrance.

Great location, right at the ferry landing in Friday Harbor. Watched the ferry and boats come and go, as well as the people to and from the ferry. Right next to many restaurants and shopping. The apartment had all the necessities for our stay, the bedding and towels were of a high quality, and the place was clean. We will stay again.
Wonderful location right in the middle of town where the ferry stops. Such a great walkable town. Accommodations were neat, clean and spacious. Our host helped with any questions we had
We had a wonderful stay at the Elwha Suite, right in the heart of Friday Harbor! The view of the harbor and watching the ferries come in was so beautiful and it was easy to get to all the nearby restaurants, coffee shops and stores! It had all the amenities we needed for a nice weekend getaway and would definitely stay there again!
The location was amazing, the parking spot was perfect. The communication was great. Loved the view, ice cream and wine right across the street in plain view. I would definitely stay there again.
Such a wonderful vacation rental! The location could not be more convenient! Walking distance from ferry and shops/ restaurants in Friday Harbor. Watching the seaplanes, boats and ferries come and go from our private balcony was wonderful. The condo was tidy, and had everything we needed for our stay. Would absolutely rent again!
This is the perfect location if you are looking for a true Friday Harbor downtown, ferry area stay. It's all right there and a GREAT location. Be aware that there is no air conditioning in this and in most properties in the Islands. The owner provided fans and the windows could all be opened. Literally walk ANYWHERE.
We have stayed in this unit before and we love the view and the outside deck area. The location is super convenient. The apartment is decently appointed. The beds are comfortable, there were plenty of towels for four of us. They have games to play: Sorry, Monopoly, Scrabble, chess/checkers, backgammon, puzzles and more.
Now for the bad: the noise from the coffee shop below is horrible. Don't plan on sleeping any later than 7 as the constant banging from downstairs, even with earplugs, was unbearable. We all left this morning feeling exhausted from not being able to get enough sleep. I don't know what, if anything, the owners can do about this, but it's a real problem for anyone who might want to relax on vacation.
The internet was not really working while we were there either and they told us they couldn't fix it. We were able to hot spot from our phones to our computers, but that wasn't ideal as we wanted to stream some movies, but can only tether 5GB.
They also don't have enough glasses. We didn't really eat there, so I'm not sure about the rest of the kitchen, but for four adults, we definitely did not have enough glassware for our wine and champagne drinking it out of a water glass in the end.
The patio is filthy dirty. I don't know the last time they cleaned it, but it was foul.
Would we stay here again? Maybe, if we absolutely knew we were going to be up early every day. Otherwise, probably not.
This was an easy walk from the marina and everything else in Friday Harbor. The views from the bay window were great and access/check-in was seamless. Highly recommended!
Excellent location and property. Felt lucky to find such a unique place. A bit noisy from the coffee shop and ferry lines/traffic but that’s more a comment than a complaint. We’d be happy to stay here again.
This is such a cool and unique place! It’s right in the heart of Friday Harbor. The bay windows look right at the ferries docking. The place is very well maintained and has all the amenities of home.
Perfect location to explore the island and get the ferry. The best view in town! This unit is well equipped for staying in on a rainy day or going out in the sunshine. We will stay here again.
I took my older father there to get out and he enjoyed the front window, watching the ferry come and go, along with the people. Great location to food, ice-cream and the water. Parking was easy access. Would stay again.
The location is convenient, the view stunning. We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and comfortable.
There is no air conditioning and only one small portable fan, so on very warm days with little breeze, it might be a warm sleep.
We had an amazing stay with our two kids at the Elwha Suite. The view was phenomenal, the location was amazing, and the place was fully stocked. It was walking distance to everything - dinner, the port, the San Juan Islands Brewing Company. We loved watching the boats come in and are so glad we picked this location for our two nights on Friday Harbor. We can't wait to come back!
