About this house rental
*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
Washington Way Chalet is perched over the sea and provides views of passing boats on a regular basis Its amazing views of the water sets the stage for a classic Island vacation - in fact there's so much blue water right out front of the windows that you sometimes feel like you're on a boat! To enhance that sensation, the decor has a distinctive nautical theme! Just imagine the serenity of sitting on the spacious deck sipping your glass of Pinot Noir, looking over blue waters, taking in the wide open views of neighboring islands. The same elemental view is also framed in the vaulted windows of the living room when you come indoors.
Inside, the style is all casual, warmed by rich colors in every room, a blend of European chalet and northwestern cabin that make for a very cozy environment. The chalet has a three level floor plan. From the parking level, you come down two flights of stairs to enter the home on the mid-level. The living/dining areas face the water. The living room has a new TV and a pellet stove for extra warmth. The kitchen is very well provided and guest cooks will love the commercial-style propane range. There's also a little bistro table at one end of the kitchen that is a wonderful spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine before dinner. Two bedrooms (one with queen bed and one with two twin beds) and a full bathroom are located on this main level as well.
The upper loft functions as the master bedroom (with queen bed) because it has a sitting area, desk, and private bath. It's open to the living room so that the water view can be enjoyed through the windows that extend up two stories in the living room. The lower level has been recently updated with new paint and a larger second TV and sofa in this area. In addition, this level of the home offers a third bathroom with shower, laundry room, and an entry onto a lower deck as well.
Washington Way Chalet is only a five minute drive from Friday Harbor and the ferry landing, where you'll find the community theaters, art galleries, lots of restaurants, grocery stores, and fun shopping!

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
Nice scenic spot.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Nice location, comfortable place, good view. There were two issues that were a little annoying; you couldn't eat on the deck or even sit outside without wasps flying around you. But I heard it is a problem everywhere on the island, so I don't think the owners can do anything about that. The other thing was the heater. When it comes on, it is very loud and occasionally woke us up. But otherwise, the house is well equipped and comfortable.
