Family Beach House With Beautiful Views, Huge Yard, Mooring Buoy, And Kayaking

Are you looking for 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 skip rocks 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 away from the ferry, the Islander Store, 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, and exploring tide-pools.

The house is set up with an open kitchen that includes stainless appliances. 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 2 bedrooms with queen-sized beds. In addition, we have a spacious daylight basement which includes a wet bar and allows accommodations for up to four more people with a bunk bed and couch.

This cozy house is equipped for both a short or long stay. We have a large flat-screen TV with many movies to choose from, as well as games and books available for entertainment. Our hope is that our house will provide a place for you to make amazing memories with loved ones.

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.

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 :)

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!

Perfect getaway
Such perfect rental on a perfect island. Cannot recommend this house enough. Perfect size, view and location. Only advice is to bring all supplies as the grocery on the island is pricey

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.

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
