Great view, OK value

The house is great--very clean, nicely furnished. The view is absolutely stunning. We are long-time visitors to Lopez Island so we know our way around. If you don't, this location may feel a bit isolated.

What a view!

It was fantastic! There is no wifi here, but you could sit and watch the water all day and it'd be a day well spent. The views are fantastic and Lopez Island has everything you need less than 20 minutes away.

Great location not maintained

Location right on the bay was its redeeming quality. The views from the house were magnificent! That being said, the house is not maintained. Although the kitchen and bathrooms were clean, some of the dishes and pots were not that clean.The slider was hard to move. The deck needed power washed. The dining table was sticky from the finish wearing down. In spite of this, we had a great time. The beds were comfy. Enjoyed the view. Put a puzzle together. Had fun kayaking right off the beach.

Ok

It's accurate to say that the whole purpose of staying in this home was the view. It was heavenly. It was so quiet there. The house was built in 1970 and has never been touched since. It had no garbage bag. The dishes weren't very well either. We'd stay there again, even if it was so dilapidated

Bring you cleaning supplies and house shoes

I rated this house 3 stars for the view and how spacious it was. Bring all of your cleaning supplies. I feel bad for the owners if they are paying someone to clean here. It would be a great place if it wasn't so grimy. Keep your shoes on in the house because nobody sweeps, vacuums or mops the floor. Bring a friend to help peel you off the sticky dining chairs! The view is incredible but you will need to wipe the previous guests handprints and dogs snot from the windows to see it.

A great spot, but you get what you pay for

We had a great short getaway and enjoyed sitting in the living room and outside watching otters, seals and boats pass by. This property is somewhat cheaper than some other comparable properties on Lopez and there is a reason, as indicated by many other reviewers. The home has generally not been updated much at all since it was built, so everything creaks and groans. For some strange reason, we found that most of the crockery had not been cleaned properly, so we had to clean it all off as we used it. The property management company were highly apologetic for this and offered to send somebody over to resolve it.

Beautiful View, But Not Quite Ready for Guests

We recently stayed at this house on Lopez Island and, while it has a beautiful view and the potential to be charming, it’s important to know what to expect. The house had an eerie, somewhat neglected feel to it. There were bugs inside, a noticeable odor, and it didn’t seem ready for guests—very bare with no Wi-Fi. Upon arrival, the sliding glass door was left wide open, which was unsettling. The neighborhood has close neighbors, so privacy was limited, and there were no coverings on some of the windows. The kitchen wasn’t equipped for cooking, and at night, the house made a lot of creaks and noises, which made it hard to sleep. It felt like a once much-loved cabin from 50+ years ago, but unfortunately, it’s not as well-maintained now. This place could be a unique experience for someone looking for a rustic stay, but it’s not ideal if you’re seeking comfort and privacy.

Hate to give bad reviews, but

First of all, let me say, the location is lovely if you want a laid-back vacation experience. The house is the problem it is not clean, it smells, there are carpets in a dog friendly house, that I would never recommend, and they are all stained. The kitchen and the entire house is like some thing from the 80s and has not been updated. The upstairs bathroom has been updated but there is not even a holder for the toilet paper! there is a lovely deck with a rail that is rotting and dangerous. Someone could get very hurt if they placed too much weight on it. The view deck has crappy furniture, plastic chairs, and wire chairs that are not comfortable. This house could’ve been so much more with such a much more enjoyable experience! it is obvious the owners are taking all the money from the rentals and keeping it instead of putting a bit back into it to update the house and make it more comfortable and promote it more enjoyable experience. Very disappointed would not rent this property again.

Needs work

A fabulous setting and a stunning house when it was built in the 1970s. But apparently no updates of the home or the furnishings have been made in over 30 years and sadly this once lovely home is in bad shape. On the positive side: • The view is great, as nice as any you’ll find on Lopez, which has innumerable view properties. • The main room with its soaring windows is lovely and takes full advantage of the view. • The big old leather couches are comfy and a nice vibe. • There are lots and lots of great towels and many pretty quilts. • The house is spacious and well laid out. • There’s a large deck overlooking the beach and the bay. • It’s a waterfront home on Lopez Island—can’t beat that! But for us these were overpowered by the negatives. Major ones: • The door lock is faulty. When we first arrived it let us in, but the second couple to arrive couldn’t make it work. Luckily we were already there and let them in. I notified Vacasa by email, text and phone but didn’t hear back until 9:40 pm. They said it was a user problem and we were given a new code. It also worked only some of the time and one day we had to climb in the window. • The heavy glass shower door in the primary bathroom was stuck and fell off the track when I tried to open it. No injuries, but it was alarming. • The outdoor furniture is old and wrecked. It needs to go to the dump and be replaced. Bring your own chairs as we did having read comments about this. Less critical issues: • Primary bathroom sink

Great location on Mud Bay, this is the second time my family has stayed at this house. So tranquil but also close to dock access. No wifi which may be a plus if you’re really trying to disconnect!

A Great Friends Getaway

Although far from the ferry and from town (15 minute drive or 40 minute bike ride), it was the most spectacular view and a great "off-the-grid" vacation spot for a group of friends. Bring everything you'd need as there are little accoutrements but at least there's a grill!

Great Get Away

I had the best time reconnecting with nature and my friends during our stay. Although it's the farthest location from the ferry, it is a beautiful home to watch the bay, fish, kayak, dip in the water, chat, unplug, and be one with the people you came with. No wifi or amenities outside of the views and rustic furniture. First time to the San Juan Islands but definitely hope to make this a bi-annual event!

Beautiful get away

This house was perfect for what we needed. Not having wifi and being secluded for a few days isn't too hard with the view from the house. Some things are a bit outdated but all in all it was great.

The location of place is absolutely stunning, but the house itself is old and has not been maintained. Multiple advertised amenities were broken including the coffee maker and a whole queen bed, and the sliding doors onto the deck are barely functional. We still had a great time thanks to the setting, but these were very frustrating issues.

Great Location

The house is in a great location. The house is a little dated- appliances and decor. The house is listed at a premium rate due to the location but lacks other amenities such as updated appliances, bedding and WiFi. Watching the wildlife was the large living rooms windows was a great way to start and end the day. The largest bedroom that states it sleeps 5 has no heating source available and is very cold at night.

Beach access, otters, eagles and friendly people all around. House is older but fit us well. Plenty of space to fit 6-8 people comfortably. Nice selection of towels and plenty of pillows and blankets. Bring garage bags, foil or parchment paper if you are planning on being at the house and cooking.
