We are pleased to offer this special quality-driven hospitality businesses in the unparalleled destination market of the San Juan Islands of northwest Washington State. This San Juan Islands Washington Inn for sale features 18 diverse accommodations in six buildings, offering an ideal base to explore the active San Juan Islands. The unique property enjoys an ideal location two blocks from Friday Harbor’s ferry terminal and historic downtown. Everything else on the island is a short drive “or scenic bicycle ride“ away, offering guests an accessible gateway to the San Juan Islands.
San Juan County and Islands consists of a series of islands and waterways located in the northwest part of the state of Washington.
The area is generally considered a northwest extension of the Puget Sound, located west of the cities of Bellingham and Anacortes and southeast of the U.S./Canada border. While there are hundreds of small islands that make up the region, the three largest islands “Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Island“ are the most populated and are are a well established and high traffic destination location. While each of the islands in the archipelago chain have their individual appeal, San Juan Island offers a particularly marketable diversity of activities and attractions, from outdoor recreation to destination dining experiences, and access to resort environments (Roche Harbor) and the bustling historic village of Friday Harbor which is a focal point of activity in summer.
This Pacific Northwest Retreat is ideally located within easy reach of active drive markets in Seattle, Oregon, and California (the Inn’s main source of guests) and its proximity to Victoria, B.C., creates an international appeal that has drawn significant attention to the area as a premier leisure travel destination.
Guestrooms at this San Juan Islands Washington Inn for sale include modern B&B style accommodations in the two Inn buildings, luxury suites with kitchens in the two adjacent buildings, and two stand along cottages with a connecting courtyard that is a central point between the diverse accommodations.
Interior common areas are limited throughout the property, with the upper units offering the formal check-in/reception area and office, sunroom, and an open-plan living room and kitchen. Guest accommodations throughout the property are spacious and well designed and most include separate sitting and dining spaces, which limits the need for public gathering spaces, which supported the property’s success throughout the pandemic. The property offers several outdoor areas for guest use including private decks and the central courtyard, which offer enough opportunity for guests to rusticate outside of their accommodations. With a bustling village a few steps away, the location could not be better suited to active and discerning guests within this destination market.
With 18 guest units, this special property leans more towards a boutique hospitality model than a traditional owner/operated Bed and Breakfast. The strength of this business enterprise is clearly reflected in historical financial performance, with occupancy over the last three years reaching 69% in 2021. Given the high occupancy and average daily room rate, however, these profit margins remain impressive and reflect a viable business that offers room for continued success and growth.
