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 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 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, hiking, and beachcombing.
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, Smart 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.

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.
The beach access was ok for young adults, not so good for young & old. That's typical for Lummi Island as everything is on a hill! The view was great and that giant Cedar tree amazing!! Thanks for everything!
We spent a wonderful late-summer weekend at this Lummi Island cabin and could not have been more delighted. The cabin was perfectly equipped with everything a family travelling with children could need, making our stay both easy and enjoyable.The spacious grounds provided plenty of room for play, and the waterfront offered endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. The whole property, much like the island itself, exudes peace and relaxation — the perfect retreat from the bustle of daily life.The owner was attentive and helpful at check-out, ensuring the experience was seamless from start to finish. Our family is already looking forward to returning, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a memorable and restorative getaway.
The location and property are amazing! It's great they allow dogs. The bunk beds were broken, so the top one was unusable. We let the owners know so hopefully it's replaced for the next guests.
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!
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
What an amazing location! Wonderful views from house and deck/yard. Private steps down to secluded waterfront rocky beach area. Really convenient to the restaurant and store on the island. House is stocked well and comfortable. Lots of games and thoughtful gift of wine/chocolates. Would definitely book again!
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.
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.
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.
At least in April, Lummi Island is remarkable for its silence. We heard birds, and an aircraft far away, and the occasional crinkly sound of the tires of slow moving “traffic.”One thing important for guests to note: The charming ferry can hold about 16 cars or one semi. Islanders leave in the morning 6-9-ish (I think to go to work, the sad souls) and return 4-6 ish. Those are busy ferry times. If you need to be someplace, get it the ferry line early. And please shut off your motor while you wait to protect nearby residences from excess exhaust fumes, and so you can hear the birds.The description of this property is a bit low-key relative to the beauty of the place. Mt. Baker. Glorious sunrises, and 10 minutes away a place to view the sunsets as well. Nice yard, beautiful trees, and a sense of seclusion. My ratings are accurate about our stay. I don’t take them lightly.We had great interactions with our host beforehand, and also with the housekeeper, who served us well.
