With a multitude of San Juan Island vacation rentals to choose from, it’s important to know what you’re looking for before you commit to renting a specific property. Here are a few things to look for while you’re choosing a vacation rental for your visit to the San Juan Islands.

Short distance to popular locations

If you’re visiting San Juan Island on vacation, you’ll likely want to stay somewhere close to Friday Harbor so you can visit all the popular attractions such as the Whale Museum, Lime Kiln Point State Park, and the San Juan Islands Museum of Art. Make sure you don’t have to drive a long distance to get to the central hub of activity.

Space for families (or pets)

If you’re traveling with your family, it’s important to choose a vacation home with lots of space for your children to move around safely and freely. The San Juan Islands are also surprisingly pet-friendly, and there are many pet-friendly lodging options you can rent to keep your pets happy and active.

Essentials and amenities

Vacation is supposed to be a relaxing experience. When you’re on vacation, it shouldn’t be acceptable to stay somewhere uncomfortable that’s missing all of the essential conveniences, such as kitchen appliances, Wi-Fi, heating/air conditioning, and televisions. Choose somewhere to stay that’ll relieve your stress instead of adding to it.
