About this house rental

Davis House on the Bay

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Stunningly situated on the shores of Fisherman Bay, this waterfront home on Lopez Island is a place to take in gorgeous views of nightly sunsets over San Juan Island, the Haro Strait, and the islands of British Columbia beyond.

This bayfront home is a piece of Lopez Island history, named for the man who built it in 1974. Captain Leonard Davis was one of the foremost maritime navigation pilots in Puget Sound and a member of a family of early settlers on the island. He chose this spot as the site of his retirement for the lovely weather, winds, tides, and view of the ferries coming and going from Friday Harbor.

Inside, you'll find this view showcased in nearly every room, allowing you to watch the tides ebb and flow and observe bald eagles and otters passing through. The central living space is upstairs, including a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a TV, an adjacent dining room for eight that's warmed by the backside of the fireplace, and an eat-in kitchen with every essential. There's a second large living room downstairs - a wonderful spot to curl up by the fire and settle in for a night of board games.

The outdoor spaces are equally inviting, including a small balcony overlooking the bay, a patio that runs the length of the house, and a spacious backyard with a nature path to explore. Take a scenic stroll down to the spit at sunset and cap the evening with marshmallows and stories around the firepit.

Wonderful stay in this house! The views were wonderful and so close to everything on the island. Definitely also a lifesaver to have a bastion of internet/cell service!

The house was very clean and had everything needed to accommodate our group. The kitchen was well-stocked. I enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks overlooking the bays. We had fantast weather and were treated to stunning sunsets each night overlooking the water.

I loved getting up in the morning, sipping my coffee and watching the blue heron at low tide looking for goodies.

We enjoyed it, but some constructive criticism. * The door keypad code should be shortened. A 10-digit code is ridiculous. I believe 4 or 5 is adequate and would eliminate much frustration. *We rented after reading an April review noting the primary shower was terrible. The plumbing fixtures are old and not functional. The owner replied that the problem would be fixed. Well, it was not, and my we had to endure a trickle shower. I used the guest bath, but my wife likes the privacy of her bath. Very disappointed.

I would 100% rent this house again. The views more than make up for the very minor flaws. Very dated Brady Bunch 70’s style - but it’s charming. Beds were comfy. Linens not particularly soft and pillows not squishy. The house has a ton of space. Great location. Lots of bathrooms. Weak shower in the master bedroom. Overall though it was actually one of my favorite vacation homes of all time because I so enjoyed watching the tide roll in and out, sea planes and ferries and gorgeous sunsets.
