Fantastic Location!
What an amazing location! Wonderful views from house and deck/yard. Private steps down to secluded waterfront rocky beach area. Really convenient to the restaurant and store on the island. House is stocked well and comfortable. Lots of games and thoughtful gift of wine/chocolates. Would definitely book again!

Amazing
Everything about our stay was top-notch. The house/property was exactly as described on website, kitchen well-equipped, beds very comfortable, and the thickest towels ever in the bathrooms. House was immaculately clean. The stairs to the rocky beach are necessarily steep, fantastic views from the yard. Communication with the host was the greatest possible.

Beautiful Beach Cabin
I think pictures in the review did not do this place justice. It’s even better than what we had expected. We celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday here and couldn’t have had a more amazing time. You have to remember to pack all of your food since the island has a very small store, but the house is a six minute drive from the ferry as well as some beaches and cute little shop. They had all the amenities we needed and more, especially for cooking every night. The views were spectacular. We had perfect weather, and you could see Baker as well as the Canadian Rockies low tide. We were for class and even saw several starfish and an anemone.

Lummi Island New Year Get-Away
Four of us rang in the New Year at this fabulous location. Nice and quiet with gorgeous views. We couldn't have chosen a better spot. Love the quick access to local trails and cozy warmth of the accomodations. Well appointed kitchen and enough space for 4 adults (and one dog) to relax comfortably without being in each other's way! Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing peaceful home with sea view
Loved it. Housekeeping: All of the ceiling lights over the stove were burned out and it was dark while trying to cook in the kitchen. The light bulbs need to be replaced. The salt shaker had no salt and the TV remote was open and missing battery. Otherwise, we had a great time.

A group of 4 of us picked this property for a friends getaway weekend and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The property was perfect for the four of us. Great location, great views and access to the beach. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Our hosts, Robb and Marea, were super helpful, supportive, responsive and accommodating. Truly could not have been better, they were so thoughtful - thank you ! You both really helped make our getaway perfect. Would 100% recommended staying here.

Wonderful getaway!
We celebrated our 18th anniversary in this lovely home by the water. Such beautiful views even though it was overcast. We enjoyed watching boats navigate a couple of wind storms too. Loved the fresh sea air. We were excited to see eagles, cormorants, buffalo head and wood ducks in the bay. With a good camera you can get beautiful close up shots. It was very tranquil and restful, exactly what we needed! Thank you Robb and Marea for sharing this gem by the water... we'll be back! Tom and Tammy and our furry boys, Maxx and Rocky :)

Birthday break
Wanted a place by the water to celebrate mine and my brothers birthdays. This was great! Enough room for 6 adults and an 8year old. We brought board games but didn’t need to, had fun playing chest with the Asian chess pieces! Overall it was the relaxing weekend we all needed! Will definitely recommend and will hopefully stay again

Great place to stay on Lummi Island
We have family on Lummi Island and visit frequently. This is the best place we've stated in terms of accommodating more than two people. As is the case with most vacation rentals, I recommend packing some of your own kitchen equipment--knives especially.

Lummi Island retreat.
The pictures on the website gave a pretty accurate portrayal of the property, with the exception being the beach access. The beach is at best quite rocky, and several of the high tides left no beach to be found, with water right at the stairs' foundation. The stairs are so steep and long, (about a 30ft. drop) our dog freaked out and refused to use them. Several low tides exposed small sandy areas, and we collected clams and oysters (crab season was not yet open). There doesn't seem to be any local TV channels, only on demand. The wi-fi worked well. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The island does not have a worthwhile grocery store, and no gas station. To access decent food shopping, you need to take the ferry ($22.00 for two people in a car) and drive to Bellingham. At the time, there seemed to be only one restaurant open on the island, but I prepared our meals in a well equipped, clean kitchen. There are only two small public beaches we could find, but several good hiking trails. A very quiet island, people seemed friendly. With the waters usually quite calm, a canoe trip from the property was beautiful on the East side of the island. Saw deer, raccoons, a seal, a whale, and a bald eagle. Small fish jumped out of the water next to the canoe, avoiding a predator. While it rained most days, it often cleared up by afternoon. Overall, the views are great, it's a great place to unwind, but kids might get bored if they don't enjoy the many games supplied on the property..

Tide pooling getaway on Lummi Island
We again found a gem of a place that let us bring our adventure kitties. Beautiful views, stairs down to our own tide pooling, comfortable house, all on a great island for biking and relaxing. The house is a little rustic (which is good for us) but a great value. The only things I saw for improving would be a little repair work around the shower and better lighting in the kitchen. Nothing critical though, and the bottle of wine left for us was a wonderful welcome. We will definitely be back!

Perfect oceanfront cottage getaway for 3 friends and me. We enjoyed a lovely beach walk one morning with beach glass and tons of oysters at low tide. The stairs down are steep so you'd want to supervise little ones. The house was well equipped and set up perfectly for gathering and privacy.
