Incredible Family Stay
Absolutely loved our time on the spot, it was the perfect location for a 'chose your own adventure' stay with the family. We got to bike around the island, hang out by the beach, enjoy the hot tub, and play board games and cook inside. The sunrises were incredible, lots of the natural world putting on a show for us! It was a real dream, everything was comfortable with enough space for all of us, and we hope to stay again soon!

Lopez Island Delight
Fantastic place to stay for a week as a family (adult couple, toddler, infant, grandma)! Beautiful views, great ferry and animal watching, and excellent tidepooling out the back door while the front balcony offered lovely sunset views. Grass on both side of the backyard to kick a soccer ball around with the toddler, who also loved roasting hot dogs and marshmallows at the fire pit. Adults enjoyed the hot tub after kids’ bedtime. Location was great - lots of privacy, and you don’t need to leave the house if you don’t want to but we found it an excellent jumping off point for half day trips (we like to do lots of walking and hiking). Easy 5-10 minute drive to town for meals out. Owner was great at communication. Appreciated the laundry (and drying rack!) given we had two kids with us. Would definitely book again.

This is a great property!
This Lopez property is excellent. Off the back deck: beachfront with views to the east of the shipping channel towards Blakely across Swifts Bay. From the front: views west over Shoals Bay to the ferry dock and beautiful sunsets. The host was friendly, helpful and easy to work with. The house is well victualled for guests.

Perfect week on beautiful Lopez Island
There is no better place to stay for a week! Our group (4 adults, 2 young kids) stayed for a week in March and had, truly, a perfect week. The home was absolutely amazing. Beautiful views out the front and back, beachside fire pit, hot tub, great location, very private, and spectacular wildlife to view every day from the house. The house was plenty large for our group and very comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully stocked/appointed. The owner was communicative and very responsive. We will definitely be back!

Spectacular waterfront relaxation
This truly has to be the best waterfront location on Lopez, or most anywhere in the San Juan Islands! During our six-night stay, we reveled in early morning coffee on the deck with gorgeous sunrises and blue herons in Swifts Bay, ferry rides to Friday Harbor for shopping and dining, and quiet nights sipping wine and stargazing from the sparkling clean and well-maintained hot tub. We were a group of older adults, but this home is perfect for families, too, and the host has thoughtfully provided a new pool table, as well as games and puzzles for little ones. Plenty of room, and excellent, ample parking. We had a fabulous time and look forward to coming back!

Spectacular and relaxing
This place is a feast for the senses. The location is as gorgeous as it gets, the low bank beachfront gives you the sights, sounds, and scents of salt water, both to the east and west. The house itself had a few little gotchas: the stove vent fan didn't work, which meant opening windows and doors when cooking to avoid triggering the unreachably high smoke detector. The hot tub randomly stopped heating, meaning you need to periodically reboot the thing (flip the breaker) to keep the water hot. And the cleaning ahead of time missed a few obvious things, like dust bunnies under furniture and half a cup of old coffee in the coffeemaker; the place was nevertheless overall very clean and comfortable.

10 Days of Fun and Views
My mother, 2 adult sibs and I spent 10 great days here. View from the deck and shared areas of the home were wonderful - ferries, boats, sea otters, seals, herons, little birds all provided so much entertainment we didn't do much else. Sunrise sitting in the hot tub was special - moon rises made for a beautiful bookend. Nice beach combing at low tide. Communications were great and all minor items that needed attention were immediately addressed by the very helpful house manager. Very well stocked. Lay out worked well for everyone to have their own space, and common areas worked well for shared time - living room for puzzles and visiting, sun room for games, dining room for meals and open kitchen for shared food prep. We look forward to staying again in the future!

Hidden Gem in the San Juans
This is a true hidden gem on Lopez Island. Beautiful waterfront home with stunning views. From the well appointed kitchen to the spotless and clean bedrooms, this home was a pleasure to visit. We particularly enjoyed the abundant wildlife that visited the property. We saw seals, mink, kingfishers and numerous other birds daily. A real taste of Northwest island living!

Incredible location, incredible 360 degree views, close to ferry and close to town, yet private, secluded, and quiet, right on the water, wildlife everywhere, beautiful night skies, peace, quiet, every possible amenity, spacious. One of the best properties in the San Juans, hands down.
