We all enjoyed the beautiful setting and accommodations. However, the beach access is very steep and prohibited us from launching our kayaks.

Gorgeous Getaway

This property has absolutely stunning views and beautiful landscaping. It is a bit of a descent to the beach but well worth it. This was the cleanest beach I have ever visited. The home is well appointed and quite comfy.

Lummi Getaway

This is our second year coming to stay at this lovely beach front house. The kids spend hours playing with crabs at the beach, and the loft playroom is a great place for them to hang out. We love this new tradition!

Bald Eagles!

We had two families stay here together and everyone loved it. We watched bald eagles pull fish out of the Sound behind the house and had seals popping their heads out of the water while we were playing with crabs at low tide. Clean, well appointed, incredible views. Can’t wait to stay again.

The water view is stunning!

The pictures of the backyard pics don't do it justice, it's exceedingly better than the pictures online. Beds are comfy, lots of blankets and bathroom well stocked with essentials. Besides some cereal found on ground & moldy bread found in drawer it was clean. The wifi/internet was not working but found an older password in a dated welcome book & that worked. Owner even came by to take a look at the issue as we did have people in our group who had to work & needed a working wifi. Not sure if the issue was resolved or not. Sleeps 11 but we had plenty of room with the 8 staying. The deck, the backyard grass/landscape and the water/beach access really made the property stand out. It was a beautiful view. I would add to their ammenties good sized grassed back lawn and that it's a traditional coffee pot and not a Keurig. Also, where the beach towels are located would be helpful as they were not in the spot noted. It was a pricey place but the beach access, views, deck & backyard made up for it.

Birthday Getaway

Very much worth the long drive from Tacoma, Olympia and Seattle. The house is gorgeous, very clean, with every amenity provided. The kitchen really DOES have everything you would need to put together any dish. The views from the yard and every window of the house are stunning. It was very hard to leave. Thank you!!

Family Gathering

This is such a glorious place to stay with family. Plenty of space for privacy and plenty of space for gathering together. We had people from across the country as well as from the state of of Washington and we had 4 generations of people from an 18 month old, up to baby's great grandpa 89 years old. We had a wonderful time with the great kitchen, the spectacular view and high class comfort of the home. Will be back to share the treasures of Lummi island and the home with our family again. Thank you.

Comfortable Elegance in an Extraordinary Setting

I was on the island with my daughter and her husband as well as my sister, my niece, and my nephew. for my son’s wedding. We also had my daughter’s children—(6 and 9) and my niece’s children (5 and 8). We immediately felt at home and had everything we needed. All ten of us had comfortable beds and plenty of space. The setting is lovely and the house is beautifully maintained. It was hard to leave, but I will carry it with me for a long time.
