Just seven miles from Anacortes' downtown, you have easy access to dining and shopping while still enjoying a sense of natural isolation thanks to the nearby beach and patio!

Kick back and relax in the living area of the great room, with a plush leather sofa perfect for enjoying nearby decor, taking in cable on the flatscreen TV, and planning activities on the WiFi.

Switch things up with some freshwater fun at Cranberry Lake, located within Deception Pass State Park six miles south. The Anacortes ferry landing 10 miles away lets you access the incredible beauty of the San Juan Islands, from San Juan's hustle and bustle to the peaks of Orcas to the lazy walks of Lopez.

Beautiful views - could be even better
We had a lovely stay and the accommodation was as seen in the listing. However it feels like some minimal interventions would take the place to another level; - the beds were not very comfy - the door lock mentioned in earlier reviews still not resolved - the outdoor furniture and bbq are tatty and in need of upgrade - especially when the stuff next door is clearly visible! - a noisy heating system kicked in at 5am All easily fixable and would help justify the price tag

Nice house on the bay
This is a modern, small house with direct south view of the bay. The two bedrooms and baths are out of the way, huge kitchen and main area to relax and enjoy the view. The vibe is similar to the San Juan Islands, without the long ferry ride to those places. Yard space and beach access are fantastic.

Beautiful area
Overall my experience was great. The place and property are super cute. a few things could be improved on like fixing lock to front door and new beds or mattresses. Wifi was ok but at times not great. I would come back or also would recommend to friends and family.

Beautiful views with comfortable home
Very nice place. My only comment is that if there is a person with mobility issues with you it can be challenging. The driveway is super steep and the rock stairs were a bit difficult for my cousin with mobility issues. The home is nice.

Driftwood Retreat Deficiency List
1. Directions provided from roadway to parking spot and from parking spot to cabin are inaccurate and confusing. A basic map of the property would be helpful. 2. The lock on the sliding door does not work via key from the outside. However the door can be locked from the inside by turning the locking latch. We assume that is the reason a bicycle lock is provided to secure the cabin. 3. The control panel for the alarm system displays the message "Not Ready To Arm-Fault". When "Disarm" is selected the display defaults to the previous message. We can't get it to work properly. 4. We noted a gouge in the kitchen island counter top. It was there when we arrived. 5. We have been unable to locate a light switch to turn off the light in the loft over the eastern end of the cabin. 6. The BBQ grill is functional but the flame is irregular, indicating that the burners need to be replaced. 7. Upon returning to the cabin from a trip into the nearby town of Anacortes on Saturday, we discovered another vehicle in our designated parking spot, leaving us insufficient room to park our own vehicle. 8. The WIFI is not working properly. We have been able to receive emails on our iPhones but have been unable to send emails. 9. When we attempted to activate email from our laptop, the computer seized up completely and we have been unable to reboot it. UPDATE: Since returning home today, the laptop is again functioning properly, which suggests that the problem was caused by the cabin's faulty WIFI. 10. There is a wheel missing from the lower rack of the dishwasher. 11. The fan in the east bathroom does not work. 12. On Saturday night, the bed in the east bedroom collapsed, so we moved into the west bedroom. 13. We were unable to set the alarm when we checked out Sunday morning. See point 3 above. 14. Access to the designated parking spot is via a very steep, narrow driveway, with a very tight turning radius into the parking area and the parking spot itself is not level. The cabin is in a beautiful, scenic location but due to the problems we encountered we believe that we are entitled to a partial refund.

The wonderful location, beautiful view, and interesting house design made this a memorable trip. Beach access is marvelous and though it wasn't the best of weather, it was fun to watch the constantly changing sky and water out the huge expanse of glass. We hope to be back someday.
