  • We just spent 3 days on Lummi Island at the Oyster House. This is the most amazing vacation home! The view itself is worth the entire price, stunning! The house is beautiful, amazing architecture, secluded setting beneath the forest canopy. We enjoyed beachcombing on the tidelands each morning finding clams, crabs, oysters, geoducks, jellyfish and beautiful seaglass. Fires on the beach each night, long walks..the couch was very comfortable and the TV's nice amentities but we didn't have time for either of them!!! We did enjoy the sauna, especially after our swim (yes we are crazy!!!) The house is nice enough to satisfy the most picky vacationer, while at the same time it does not feel stuffy and works well for more laid back travelers (like us!) There is an assortment of books, maps and kids toys. The beds are all very comfortable and the kitchen is nicely appointed. Take the ferry to Gooseberry Point, turn left at the casino and head to Barleans for a wonderful selection of seafood to cook at home. The Beach Store Cafe just across from the Ferry Dock has wonderful meals...don't miss it! Our family recommends this house to anyone desiring a relaxing getaway on the water!!!!

  • This incredible beach cottage transcended ALL our expectations. Not only is the location peaceful and idyllic - sitting right at water's edge with regular visits by the resident blue heron - but the decor is straight out of the pages of a Pottery Barn catalog! The perfectly appointed kitchen with every herb, spice, gadget and cooking utensil one could ever possibly need made preparing meals an absolute joy while we looked out over Hales Passage and a breath-taking, unobstructed view of Mt. Baker. The large upstairs master bedroom with its enormous windows facing water and sun-rise and its luxurious king-sized bed with down comforter might have tempted us to sleep in, but we wouldn't have wanted to miss reading in the beautiful leather chairs by the river-rock fireplace or taking a sauna or clam-digging or sipping wine sitting in Adirondack chairs beside the open fire pit on the stone patio right on the beach... At every single turn here, the experience is truly unforgettable. In fact, we love this spot so much, we've visited three times this year already and have just booked our fourth visit. We've even gone so far as borrowing ideas from some of the many beautiful interior touches for our own recently completed home remodel! This spot is truly a rare, rare find. An absolute gem.

  • The Oyster House is truly one of the best vacation homes we have ever stayed at. We thoroughly enjoyed all the small details and personal touches the owners have so carefully incorporated into the home. The real stone fire place and the natural cedar ceilings really made us feel like we were at an expensive retreat....only without the expensive part. The cedar sauna was exactly what we needed after digging clams and walking the beach all day. Barbequeing on the deck, which practically hangs right over the ocean, while watching the sky turn a beautiful shade of pink over Mount Baker was really tough to handle! Without a doubt, we will be back!

  • The Oyster House is an ideal getaway for a weekend, or a week...(or longer). Our stay was very relaxing in the middle of nature, but with all the amenities and more! We would be hard pressed to find a better view in the Pacific Northwest. This place is cheaper and more rewarding than professional therapy. We'll be booking again.

  • On arrival we were amazed by the gorgeous views and beautiful renovation of this lovely oceanfront house. There were lots of homey touches, like a tea selection and flour and sugar in the cupboard. Everything worked well and was meticulously clean and new. The gas fireplace kept us warm and the low tide beach walks were fascinating. I've stayed in many beach houses, and this one is highly recommended as luxurious and a great value. And the hosts are friendly and helpful!
