About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spectacular West side views of Strait, Olympics, Victoria, south to Mt Rainier.

HARO HAIKU is a licensed San Juan County Vacation Rental (#05CU11) located on the West side of beautiful San Juan Island. NEW INTERNET!

The house is nestled just below the ridge line - with 180 degree views of the Olympic mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca beyond, and Haro Straits immediately below.

Inside Haro Haiku you'll find a contemporary blend of furnishings. The interior lets the outside in through widow placements and large sliding doors out to a full length deck.

The views are spectacular!!
Across the straits to the Olympic Mountains, Pt Townsend, Mt Rainier, and Whidbey Island it never fails to inspire and delight. Sunrises, sunsets, ship and boat traffic, the lights of Victoria, and the Olympic Peninsula, clear starry nights, cloud formations, combined with the sound of Orca whales and surf below. Truly awesome!!!

Serenity and repose on San Juan Island

Our guest's comments say a lot more about our unique home and property.

HIGH SEASON: If we have a 1 or 2 night opening between reservations we are happy to accept a reservation.

Great cabin! Quiet, beautiful view! Comfy bed! On the other side of the island from Friday Harbor, so plan your meals ahead of time. Restaurants are mostly in Friday Harbor, so bring your breakfast foods with you!

Relaxing Getaway

The house has a cabin like feel to it. It is very well equipped for cooking. In the quiet summer evenings we ate outside on the porch feasting on the view of the Straight of Juan de Fuca watching the ships heading in and out of Vancouver Harbor. Close to shopping in Friday Harbor and great hikes such as the breathtaking view from Young Hill near the English Camp.

View cannot be beat!

We had the most relaxing stay here and soaked up every bit of that beautiful view. The deck was perfect - I’d wake up early and read while just reveling in the ocean and mountains. The house was so cozy and all we needed - a great location and it was so easy to get to everything. Stephanie was an excellent host - so responsive and helpful. The house was perfectly clean and well stocked - and decorated so well too! We can’t wait to come back!

Simply Wonderful!

From the moment we arrived until we drove away this property was wonderful! If you want a quiet, peaceful getaway with a spectacular view of the Haro Straits and Vancouver Island this is the place. Hiking shoreline trails, kayaking the surrounding waters, sailing away to find the whales, or hunting for another restaurant, your will find them all within a short drive of this clean and comfortable unit. Tastefully decorated this comfortable gem is hidden away in a forested area of the west side of San Juan Island. Friday Harbor is not to far away, just far enough. A two week stay here was simply wonderful!

Best vacation of my life

The rental was so cozy, quiet and clean. It had everything we needed and the view was amazing. It was only a couple minutes from the lookouts that had amazing views. It was also only a couple minutes away from the state park. It was the best vacation I ever had!! I cried when I left! I wanted to stay! We will be back :)

The cottage was perfect. I would not change one thing about our entire stay (except adding another week). The cottage was spotless and Deb, the owner, had the fire going and music playing upon our arrival. Everything was spot on. We will be back for sure!
