Pet-friendly Waterfront Cottage With Beautiful Views, Huge Yard, Mooring Buoy

Are you seeking a serene waterfront setting on a picturesque island in the San Juan Islands that's also close to the mainland? Do you want to wake up to beautiful ocean views with a private beach to explore tidepools and watch the local wildlife? Come and stay at the “Crabbin’ Cottage” for a great romantic getaway or vacation with the family.

Our house is on a 3/4 acre waterfront lot with over 80’ of private waterfront. Lummi Island is the most accessible of the San Juans, and our house is a short bike ride or mile-long walk from the ferry, the Islander Market, and the Beach Store Cafe. Feel free to launch your boat a short drive down the road and use our mooring buoy in front of the house. In addition, it's a great spot for kayaking, biking, hiking, and beachcombing.

The house features an open floor plan on the main floor. There are two fireplaces (firewood is NOT provided) and a large deck to watch local boats and the Alaskan Ferry as you sip a hot cup of coffee or a glass of wine. There are two bedrooms with queen-sized beds, one on the main floor and the other in the daylight basement. In addition, the spacious daylight basement hosts a wet bar and additional accommodations for up to four more people with a twin over full bunk bed and trundle.

This cozy house is equipt for short or long stays. There is a 60" Smart TV, plus plenty of indoor games, puzzles and books available for entertainment. The huge backyard overlooking Hale Passage is perfect for relaxing and yard games.

We truly hope that our home will provide a place for you and your loved ones to share quality time and make lasting, fond memories.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player and a video-game console. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

We stayed here for two night for our anniversary and absolutely loved everything about our stay. The home was very clean, had everything we needed for our stay, and was so comfortable and relaxing. The views from the living room, balcony and yard are stunning and we spent most of our time taking. Communication with the host was excellent, and the check-in and check-out processes were easy and clear. We loved our stay so much and will be back to visit again.

We spent the week with our family in the Crabbin Cottage. We really enjoyed our time there on the island. The home was well appointed and hosts very responsive. We especially loved having our meals on the deck overlooking the water. And our dogs very much appreciated the yard to run & play in. Thank you!

Great stay!

Everything was perfect for our weekend getaway on Lummi Island. The views are stunning, private beach access was fun, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook (and lots of extras like coffee, oil, and spices), the TV room is super cozy, and the beds were comfortable. Our dog loved the large backyard, though not fully fenced so thankful that she isn't a runner. We're so grateful for the wonderful dog-friendly and welcoming stay!

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!

Great place to take the family, with easy access to private beach and stunning water views. Nice big backyard to play in with deer walking through after dusk. Downsides were a bunk bed that was literally falling apart and some damaged window screens.
