Other things to note...
NO PETS: Please respect our no-pets policy. If evidence of an unauthorized animal is found, a $500 fee will be charged. We love animals, and we get that guests want to include their fur babies in their vacation plans. If you intend to include pets while visiting the island, please select a pet-friendly property that is appropriate for your needs. To ensure an allergen-free environment for all guests, we enforce a strict policy prohibiting pets. We appreciate your cooperation!
SKIN PRODUCTS: Products such as benzoyl peroxide, one of the most common ingredients in acne cleansers/creams/gels, bleach our colored towels (leaving orange blotches that cannot be removed). Guests are financially responsible for replacement cost of bath linens due to stained towels, wash cloths, etc. from whatever personal care product you use. Black "make-up" wash cloths are provided in the main bath for use during skin-care product application.
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to make reservations on the San Juan Island/Friday Harbor ferry online. The drive north is about two-hours from Seattle to the Washington State ferry terminal in Anacortes, WA. You will need to be in the boarding line at least 45-90 minutes prior to sailing to secure your spot on the scheduled sailing.
