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.

This a nice tiny home overlooking the strait of Juan de fuca and the Haro strait. About 15 minutes from Friday Harbor and just a few minutes to Lime Kiln Park makes this a great location. Very quiet, a great place to get away and relax.

Our stay was perfection!

We absolutely loved our stay! The home is outside of town, on the west side, tucked away in a secluded area. It is quiet and incredibly peaceful. It was easy to decompress from life's stressers there.The home is well appointed, offering everything you may need while there. We slept great on the king bed in primary, but didn't use the kitchen much. We would've been able to prepare anything needed, even without traditional cooking appliances, but opted for eating out while exploring.The home's location is tucked away and truly perfect if you're looking to escape the sounds and sights of other humans. It's absolutely quiet, beautifully landscaped and easy to find. We found the island easy to navigate and Lime Kiln Park is only minutes away. Amazing.There is no reason to even consider staying elsewhere. We will be back, but this time for a longer stay. Thank you, Stephanie for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

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!

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!

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.

clean and comfortable, with a spectacular view

Everything was great, and exactly as described! The only drawback is the steep access road. Cell service is minimal except through Canadian roaming. The Internet works OK but is pretty slow. The big draw is the spectacular view of Haro Strait.

Washington Relaxation!

This property is the perfect place to get away and recharge. I loved the always changing views of the ocean and mountains. Every time you looked up the view was completely different. The location of this home was about 15 minutes from everything we wanted to do. We loved cooking breakfasts and dinners as they had everything you could possibly need to make a full meal. I was hesitant with them only having induction plates to cook on but man I feel like they worked better then our stove at home! I do have to throw in that my main reason for coming out to the islands was to see orcas in the wild and they did not disappoint. We went out on Western Prince Whale Watching and they took us over 50 miles and saw all 3 resident pods, a few humpbacks and a minke whale. It was a birthday wish come true :) Thank you again to Stephanie for the beautiful and relaxing trip. It was exactly what we needed! We can’t wait to come back and visit the San Juan Island again

Little House Overlooking Haro Strait

Perfect, little getaway house with beautiful view of Haro Strait on quiet, west side of San Juan Island. We never tried of the changing view of clouds over the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island from the deck. Just up the road is Lime Kiln State Park with best spot to see orcas or other whales from shore. Lots of nice hikes on the island with our favorite being Mt. Finlayson/Jakle Lagoon and Young's Hill. Only minor downside was spotty WiFi access. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
