Yes, excellent all around place was spotless… group group shared area with refrigerators was very clean and very organized. Each little apartment has its own little shelf in the fridge…. Fully stocked with dishes and everything you would need to cook if you wanted to…. He worked excellent with a great variety of choices on the cable…. And lots of correct coffee available… the Keurig coffee makers also very quiet at night…. In our apartment also had a nice bathtub with good hot water. We highly recommend staying here. It was really sweet.!!!

Enjoyed our Stay

We really enjoyed our weekend on the island. I’m glad we chose Blue Water Suites for our 2 night stay. It was a great location. I personally loved the community style main area. Everyone was respectful and kind. I definitely plan on staying again next year!

A Little Gem

We stayed at the Blue Water Inn for a girls’ trip, and we were pleasantly surprised. Management was wonderfully communicative. The property was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable, and the location was fabulous! We loved being able to walk around downtown and explore the harbor.

Great property but too noisy

The room was clean and spacious, but the road noise was pretty bad. If you have a sensitive sleep you should avoid this place (and probably any other place that faces the Spring street

Clean but very hot at night

The room was very clean &new, very basic but the thermostat was set at 80 degrees. We tried to contact the VEBO rep several times. They finally responded that there was a fan in the room & that should suffice. Luckily it cooled down outside but I would not stay there in the summer.

Great downtown location, close to the ferry terminal. Very clean, 2nd floor rooms, up about 15 stairs. Rooms are like staying in a home, more than a hotel. The rooms are up 15 stairs that have great grip and a steady handrail.There is a community kitchen and living space at the end of the hallway past the rooms.in the communal area there are 2 large refridgerators, and oven and store, and a large drop in freezer. There is even a communial deck that overlooks the ferry terminal. The rooms are all connected by a long hall way. The doors to the rooms are ones like you'd have at a home but all have keypad entry. The rooms are very clean and new. There are no minifridges in the room, but the 2 large communal fridges have totes labeled for your food to be stored. This is a great location if you are an early riser. The ferries start to arrive at 5am, and so do the loud trucks. The town in quiet at night once the last ferry arrives. Parking is street parking only. There is public parking a couple blocks away. But parking is allowed on the street overnight. 2 hour limit on parking from 8am-5pm. we never had trouble finding parking during the week. The bulding feels very safe and secure. The rooms do not have minifridges, so you have to use the main communal refridgerators. The rooms do not have A/C, but the weather and wind is good. The rooms do have a wall heater, which we didn't use. The wifi was good as I was traveling for work, and was able to join meetings.
Front Entry to the rooms is in the same walkway as the Chinese restaurant. 3 windows above balcony are China Pearl room
15 stairs up to the rooms, to a secured door with keypad entry
main door and hallway, China Pearl room is the room that overlooks the Chinese restaurant
Communal living area that is accessible to all residents staying in the rooms.

The location is great for walking Friday Harbor as you are staying directly in the middle of town. The drawback was the noise level. Our room (1 out of 6 with a shared dining/living room space) was the China Pearl and we overlooked Spring street which is the main boulevard through town and directly across from the ferry load/unload zone so during the ferry unload there is an excessive amount of traffic and subsequently noise. The room itself was very clean and new feeling with plenty of space but not much in it. Could use a desk or possibly a small couch. Three large windows so even on a hot day we could regulate the temperature as there was no air conditioning. There was a large fan in the room which helped considerably but there was no box of tissue and we only had one wash cloth between the two of us for three nights. The shared space was very large and the kitchen was clean and had anything you might need to prepare meals. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends as long as you get the China Pearl (3 large windows) or the Shogun which I believe has its own balcony.

Best spot in Friday Harbor

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: I would recommend this rental for anyone interested in staying in Friday Harbor. You are walking distance to all shops, restaurants and all that the harbor has to offer. The room was very clean and comfortable. Lots of space for 2 or even 4 people. With the added bonus of the living area (shared with other guests), its super convenient. While we were there, we did not see another person so we really used the living spaces for lounging and making snacks and cocktails. The view is a little obstructed but you can still see the harbor. I would definitely stay here again.
