House of the Ocean Sun is a modern, stylish waterfront home with clean finishes that provide a sense of luxury, but also livability. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a group of friends looking for a fun, relaxing, and stylish retreat. With high quality furniture, mattresses, linens and amenities galore.

There is a cozy fireplace in the living room with an accordion glass wall opening the entire house to the stunning Salish Sea. The deck is off of the living room with a dining table, outdoor sofa, hot tub and BBQ. Follow the private path down to the bench on the water or enjoy the picnic table and firepit for s’mores or stargazing. For a private moment, visit the lower deck and sit in the basket swing.

The Primary suite, located up a spiral staircase, has a 20-foot vaulted ceiling, a King bed with luxury mattress and linens, a Smart TV, a sound machine, an aromatherapy diffuser, and Alexa speaker for you to enjoy. There is a reading area with a sofa and library as well. Finally, step out of your sliding glass door onto your private balcony overlooking the Salish Sea.

Don’t look any further!

Fabulous! From the location, the decor, the views, this is paradise. Just so we could enjoy the deck with the million dollar view we would pick up takeout so we could enjoy time at the house. Our days were filled with hiking and biking and exploring the islands.

House of the Ocean Sun

The property and its setting is excellent. The location surrounding the home is in desperate tree trimming as it relates to fire and debris. Our only complaint would be the very narrow and steep spiral staircase that takes you to the master bedroom. This home was well worth the expense and hope to revisit again in the future. The owners obviously invested a lot into this home making it a place where you can connect with peace and tranquility! The views speak for themselves and it’s a convenient location to Friday Harbor. Thank you for a wonderful week in paradise!

Magical views and peaceful stay

The home had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the chairs overlooking the views. Complete peace for our small family. Our teens loved the hammocks and many nooks to cozy up in to read! We appreciate all the “labeled directions” around the house. But they almost made the home feel like student dormitory. As we were preparing to leave at 10am, I‘m assuming one of the staff member arrived and just sat in the car waiting for us to leave. We weren’t rushed in any way, but it didn’t feel like silent service for such a splendid accommodation.

Beautiful property in amazing area!

We loved every minute of our stay in Friday Harbor. The home was beautifully maintained and perfect for our time on SJI. The view is incredible, a perfect way to start and end your day. We saw eagles, owls, deer, river otters and various birds in our short time at the property. The close proximity to Friday Harbor is perfect, close but far enough to feel secluded. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable stay while exploring all that SJI has to offer.

Awe Inspiring Perfection

Put this on your bucket list! While everyone stages their property for the photos, this may be the one property that is anti-staged! The House of the Ocean Sun absolutely exceeds the amazing pictures and write-up in every way. Views are epic. The property is immaculately maintained and the kitchen is fully equipped—it even has an espresso machine that converted us away from pods. This beautiful property made a very special trip for us worry free. Thank you to the hosts for making this possible.

Best VRBO ever!

Stunning views, beautifully appointed home, enjoyed every part of our stay from sunrises in the Adirondack chairs to sunsets in the hot tub. Kitchen had all amenities we needed for meals. The coffee bar with espresso machine, multiple types of coffee beans and syrups were a great touch. Champagne was chilled and welcoming when we arrived. We saw whales, dolphins, and deer all from the back deck . We will be back!

This property had many modern amenities., from the cozy fireplace, fancy shower, appliances to the hot tub with amazing view. We did have someone using the living room pull out couch, so it would be nice to have shades or curtain, for better sleep. Otherwise everything was great. We even saw a few dolphins, seal and deer!
