Super nice for the price! We came in winter and paid 135.00 for the smaller suite(suite 2). It was charming and clean. The owner was very kind and waited for us to get off the ferry! The view of the area from the porch is great and the location is perfect. Right in Friday Harbor, 0.4 miles from the ferry. A must stay.

I took a last minute trip to Friday Harbor, San Juan Island and came across one of the few openings at Nichols Street Suites. What a gem! There are 2 suites located above the antique store. I spent 1 night in Suite 1. –2 bedrooms plus a futon, so a capacity of 6 guests. –Full size kitchen with refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, coffeepot, toaster, dishware/silverware. There is an amazing antique butcher block island for preparing foods. –Back deck with a BBQ. Not much of a view, but you do get a glimpse of the water –Large living area with TV/VCR, books, board games –Large U-shaped bench with dining room table that the whole family could easily sit around –One full size bathroom –They had a pack and play for my baby to sleep in Suite 2 is smaller but has a front balcony overlooking the street. If I were to make very few improvements(and really none were needed), I would(1) supply come coffee for guests and(2) add some weather stripping to the back deck door — we heard the wind howling through the crack in the door all night. The staff who work in the antique store and provide the keys, etc. were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They have wifi, but it is slow, which is not uncommon for most places on the island. There is 1 parking spot next to the antique store. Cost came to around $ 170 /night including taxes. I would definitely stay here again. Doesn’t have the spectacular view, but the living space is great and you are still on the main strip.

Stayed at Suite #2 second weekend in September. What a great deal! The place is very clean and charming, and the balcony is perfect for people watching or just putting your feet up. Wonderful hosts that own/work in the antique store below. Very comfortable bed. Lots of windows and light. Roomy — notice the sq. footage — even has high ceilings. This is a gem. The pictures are not nearly as good as the real thing. We got to view Suite #1 because they had a cancellation — that is a beautiful place with a fully equipped kitchen and wonderful blend of antique and comfortable, modern furnishings. These guys know what they’re doing and are not interested in gouging your pocketbook! We will definitely be back.
