Another fabulous week on the beach! Quiet, relaxing...the waves lapped, the water rippled...our granddaughter (10 years) spent the entire time on the beach catching crabs, admiring purple starfish, collecting shells and rocks. She was in heaven. So were we! Can't wait till next time.

We all had such a great time at this beautiful spot right on the water. We kayaked, hiked the preserves, relaxed, and sat on the balcony/porch as much as possible. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Took some amazing pictures of sunrises and Mount Baker right from the porch, and the evenings were magical, liquid silver water with otters and eagles. Thank you! This is a trip we will always remember.

We just returned from four nights at Oyster House- it was our second stay and we were so grateful to visit this magical place again. Our original visit was a year and a half ago for our anniversary. As romantic a setting as Oyster House on Lummi Island is, my husband and I knew the next time we came back, we had to bring along friends to experience it with us. Well that's what we did, and they were not disappointed! No detail is left spared in the care of this amazing home. If I could own a vacation home- this is exactly what I'd want. It's classy, comfortable, charming, inviting- I could go on and on- it's utter perfection. AND THE LOCATION-THE VIEW! Truly incredible. We beach-combed for hours, saw bald-eagles right outside our window, spent a sunny day on the beach with public access by the Congregational church, bbq'd, cooked in the well-appointed kitchen, the list goes on. I could not recommend Oyster House more highly. We are already anticipating our third trip. Pictures do not do the home or the setting justice- you have to experience it yourself to believe it! Thank you, Chris and Nancy, for allowing others to share in this unbelievably special and refreshing place. And thank you (so much!) for keeping prices affordable as well. I hope Oyster House never becomes out of reach for us. Can't wait to be back yet again!

A Beautiful Stay

We stayed at the Oyster House for a week and enjoyed every minute. It was more than we expected. Thank you Chris for all your help and for sharing such a incredible home. My husband and I found it to be the most relaxing and refreshing vacation we have ever had. From the complete rainbow the first day we arrived, to the eagles, the playful sea otter, the birds, the crashing of the waves, the beautiful sunsets, the sauna and the view from the master bedroom, the week could not have been more complete. The home was very clean and neat and kitchen was well stocked. We felt right at home the minute we arrived at the top of the stairs. We can't wait to come back again. Hope to see you in the fall. Hope to do more exploring of the island next time.

Third Time and Counting

I just returned from my third stay at The Oyster House. A few girlfriends and I spend a girls weekend away each year and we have not wanted to go anywhere else but here. The house is beautiful, warm, inviting, clean and the views are unbelievable! The owners don't miss any detail, the kitchen is nicely stocked as well as a nice assortment of games and books. My two favorite places in the house are looking out of the master bedroom window at the amazing view and sitting in the comfortable leather chair in front of the fireplace with my book although I can't think of anyplace there that isn't great. I can't wait to plan the next girls weekend. Thanks so much Nancy and Chris!!

My family had a fantastic stay at the beach house. The house was very beautiful as well as clean and comfortable. We had a beautiful view of the beach. We witnessed so much wildlife from the huge windows on each floor. The kids had a great time hanging out on the beach all day and having a campfire on the pattio by the water. We will be back for another stay soon!

Many have written about this wonderful seaside accommodation before us, so I will just say "If I had a beach side vacation house, I would want it to be exactly like this!" End of story. I wish we could have stayed longer. Can't wait to visit again soon! Thanks, Chris & Nancy!

From Australia with love!

Review Submitted: 11/08/10
After travelling more than halfway around the world (west to east) from Australia, we found this oasis of peace and tranquility. A few days here was just what was required to re-charge our batteries to enable us to complete our circuit of the globe. This was a beautiful place for rest and relaxation. Every amenity we could require was on hand (love the sauna). The furnishings were all top class, the bed was wonderful, and the view from the upstairs bedroom was amazing. The fireplace created a wonderful ambience and was just what was needed for a couple of cool-ish evenings. Next time we are in the north western part of the US we would definitely like to return to Oyster House.

A little piece of heaven on Lummi Island

My husband and I stayed at the Oyster House in early September for three nights and it was just not enough time!! We absolutely loved this home and could not have asked for a better vacation! Every detail is perfect and of the highest quality! We felt very at home here. Amazing views from every room, especially the deck and master bedroom. We enjoyed cooking some delicious fresh seafood as we listened to the tide come in and watched the beautiful sunsets. The firepit is also great to relax next to right along the water. Lummi is a very peaceful island and a great place to relax, we would highly recommend this home! Hope to visit again soon! Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!
