We stayed with our 2 dogs and just loved it. The location is very unusual, right on the bay with all the local marine life on your doorstep. The beach is walkable for miles at low tide affording plenty of close encounters with herons, eagles, oyster eaters, otters and the local shellfish (clams, muscles, oysters...).

My parents live at the top of the hill in this area and with wanting a place for my dogs and I to enjoy the beach this was the perfect location. The home is so comfortable, the views are stunning. The beds were very comfortable and the house is extremely equipped. I put on a dinner for all my family in the area and it was so wonderful to fell like you were in a home and not worried if you would be able to entertain. I would love to come back to this home it was a little slice of heaven.

Our long-put-off family reunion happened here, and the site met our needs well. Great indoor/outdoor areas and views, flexibility for sleeping arrangements and different activities and schedules. Bedrooms were mostly quiet and separated enough for uninterrupted naps. Private location but minutes from Anacortes downtown and Mt. Vernon train station and groceries. But the best of all is the view: such a gorgeous PNW scene! Stairs from house to the beach level might be hard for elders and others, so being able to move straight from the home's public areas to the deck with almost 180 degree views of the bay, beach, and wildlife was satisfying and calming. This unique home is not polished, but is homey and accommodating for 7 people. We cooked and shared many meals, had plentiful conversations, and celebrated our father's 85th birthday. And he couldn't have been happier. Our two little dogs loved the place, too, and walking the neighborhood was their highlight! Note that the property outside the house doesn't allow for much walking; you have to walk up the little lane to get to flat roads. It's a nice, friendly, quiet neighborhood. Thanks for the great memories.

We had a wonderful time staying here! The owner was communicative and worked hard to make our stay all that we hoped for. The location is perfect: quiet beachfront, but also close to both Anacortes and Deception Pass. The kitchen is great and well-stocked with everything you could need. The lap pool is great fun for both the kids and adults. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back!

This home is right on the water (two sets of stairs going down to the beach) and the views are breathtaking! The home is very clean and the kitchen is stocked very well.
We (5 of us) celebrated my brother’s 75th birthday and he said it was the best yet. In the evening we enjoyed the deck with the fire table.
The owner, Chris, is wonderful to work with!

Our family vacation was wonderful. This location was wonderful for sitting on the deck and enjoying the lake scenery. We spent a few days on the San Juan Islands and we were just 12 minutes from the Anacortes Ferry!
The Kitchen had a great assortment of pans and containers so we could spend our evenings at home cooking and enjoying each others company.
The outdoor hot tub and shower were utilized after a long days hiking, biking and kayaking.
Chris was wonderful to work with. Thanks for a great stay.

It was time for our family to rest and reboot. This was the perfect place for all our family to come together. Home was just as I remembered with a few updates. The views are beautiful and the area quiet. Our kids where able to be themselves and us adults where able to relax. Definitely will be returning again. Thank you!

Quiet neighborhood with beautiful view and beach combing. Updated house well balanced with rustic, vintage decor that gives a homey feel. We enjoyed all the extras: hot tub, our son played in the small pool, beach combing, a boat row, and the fire pit. Washer and dryer, nice kitchen appliances, propane grill and little things like ziplock bags were available and organized. Made for a wonderful family trip. The view and the beach awesome!

Family reunion at the beach
Perfect setting for our family, ages 3-73! We loved walks on the beach. Thanks to our host for suggestions of some great hiking spots nearby. The beach house was cozy, but gave us lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed memorable meals overlooking the bay. The hot tub and lap pool were used daily. We’re already talking about a return trip!

Comfortable stay
My friends and I enjoyed a quiet extended weekend stay at this property. The house had everything we needed, and the owner left detailed instructions throughout the house about how things should be cared for. The major drawback was the proximity to the neighbors (one is a family member of the manager) and less privacy than is indicated in the photos -- the pool and hot tub are not entirely secluded.

Lovely view, comfortable house, pool a plus, some issues
The view from this place really can't be beat. We saw a swimming bald eagle, a full vibrant rainbow and lots of sealife without leaving the property. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although be aware that the 4th bedroom (not pictured) is small and does not have a closet. We all loved the pool, particularly our kids (4&6) but it was made immediately clear to us that any loud, playful noises were discouraged... and we wish we would have known that when booking because keeping young kids quiet can be difficult (and it added stress to our trip). Be aware that the next door neighbor will be over every day at unannounced times to check the pool (if it's used regularly). We would have preferred a scheduled time for his visits, especially since two of the bedrooms face the pool area and have large glass doors and it was pretty surprising to have him right outside when I woke up from a nap. Overall we would recommend this place, but keep in mind that it doesn't feel very private and may not be the best for young kids.

Beach Retreat
The layout of this property was perfect for our family! The large deck has a sweeping, spectacular view. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub on the side deck. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we wanted to prepare meals. Excursion to Deception Pass Park and West Beach super fun! We would love to return in the Spring or Fall and enjoy the fireplace and fire pit!!

Great family place on the beach
Property was in great shape, clean with great kitchen stocked with all kinds of pans, dishes etc.
the pool and hot tub were great and were used every day. My son especially liked the lap pool to stay in shape! Loved the towels and the beds were comfortable. We used the little rowboat several times. Owner even had life jackets for guests., A super family experience!!

Lovely beach getaway
This was our second time at this property and we had a great time! The location of the home right on the water can’t be beat. The pool and hot tub were a big hit with our families. The home was clean and well supplied with everything we needed. Two families with kids ranging from ages 6-2 stayed and the house fit us comfortably.

Fantastic waterfront home
We stayed over July 4th holiday and thoroughly enjoyed this waterfront home. The house is perfectly located with expansive views, in a peaceful setting. There is a huge deck, well equipped for eating outside and sitting to enjoy the views. A bonus was the hot tub and lap pool which was fun after hiking. The host has thoughtfully anticipated anything you could want to enjoy! He was prompt in responding and gave clear directions. We loved it! Kitchen is great with beautiful views, bedrooms are large, bathrooms also large with space for all your stuff. Enjoyed it totally!

Northwest paradise
Such a great spot! Lap pool was amazing. Chris was available & very responsive to our inquiries. We enjoyed watching wildlife from the porch & beach. the bigger towels to wrap up in after the hot tub, & outside shower are brilliant.
Overall, well stocked & cared for home with a nice neighbor (with a gorgeous garden )in a quiet neighborhood.

Excellent escape!
Spring fever isn’t as bad now that we got away at the Beach House for a few days.
Swimming, beach combing, reading, resting. Didn’t have to leave, but did to play at Deception Pass.
We will be back!

Perfect Location!
Our family enjoyed 4 days at this wonderful home! The location is perfect! We enjoyed swimming, fishing, clamming, and exploring the beach that is steps from the back door. When the tide was low, our kids literally spent several hours digging for clams and searching for seal life. At high tide, they enjoyed fishing right from the beach. The endless pool amounted to hours of fun as well. We all had such an amazing time! We also greatly appreciate such a clean and beautiful home that is pet friendly. We highly recommend staying here!

Waterfront Wonder in Anacortes
We enjoyed a 3-day family trip with 3 generations. The location in excellent - right on the water, very peaceful and serene. The sunrises over Mt. Baker are breathtaking. The hot tub was a treat, and our daughter really enjoyed the endless pool. Great proximity to Deception Pass State Park, Anacortes, and Guemes Island. The property manager, Chris, was very responsive and pleasant to deal with.

Another wonderful stay
This was our second time at this property. We love the pool, hot tub (especially I appreciate how clean the hot tub is) and location. This trip we explored Deception Pass State Park. The kids enjoyed exploring the beach in front of the house. Great getaway!

A Beautiful Getaway
What a beautiful, comfortable home. We enjoyed our weekend, sitting by the fire, both inside and out, soaking in the hot tub and heated pool, and cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. The home is spacious and laid out very well, with lots of places to gather and take in the beautiful view. This was our first trip to this area and we look forward to coming back.

Quiet perfection
The views couldn’t be better. The home is well equipped - kitchen well stocked. Outdoor area was perfect for taking in the bay and Mountain View. Communication throughout was too notch. The endless swim pool was a real treat. The house is an older home and the bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean but could be upgraded with furnishings and linens. Luckily there were a few bed pillows that weren’t foam in the home so we slept very well once we found these. The neighborhood is one of the quietest and serene we’ve stayed at. The beach is full of barnacles so if bringing a dog I highly recommend booties. It’s not possible to go barefoot. Would absolutely stay again. And recommend for a couple getaway or family trip.

Perfection
Wonderful experience rain or shine. The beach is gorgeous and as you walk along the beach it becomes sandy with much less driftwood. We loved the endless pool & hot-tub, especially in the rain. The house is spacious with great light.
The owner communication was great! Highly recommended!

Wonderful winter weekend
This house was all it is advertised to be. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable, and everything was well-stocked. The only thing we missed were wine glasses; there was only one stemmed glass. Our family enjoyed the beach, pool, hot tub, and gas fireplace on the deck. There was adequate parking for our 3 cars. Although the weather was classic PNW (cool, cloudy, rainy), we still enjoyed a wonderful view and the property's peaceful ambiance.
