Lopez Island

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this house! The location is ideal. It is close enough to Lopez Village to bike there easily, and Spencer Spit is only a mile away. The huge lawn with a view of the sound is awesome for playing games like badminton and volleyball! We brought our dog with and were happy to find out that there is also a fenced in area for your dog to run around a bit while you are home. The kitchen is awesome, with really beautiful appliances - especially for a rental. There are so many games to play, and puzzles to work on that you don't need to bring your own. The walk to the beach is very short, and although it is steep but we had no problem getting our kayaks down. You will see deer in the early morning and evenings. Also, a blue heron likes to sit down by the waters edge. Seals were spotted too! The beds are comfortable and it is very quiet at night here. The only thing that I would recommend for the owner if they plan on renovating in the future is that it would be great if there was one more bathroom, preferably not attached to a bedroom. Right where the game room is now would be ideal! We would definitely stay here again."

"We have been staying at Michelle and Lanie's rental houses for the past 5 years. This year we rented both cottages - SeaSpray and the slightly larger cottage on the same property - for a family reunion. The huge lawn in between the two houses gives my kids amply space to play soccer or badminton or just run around. Each year we have added more "toys" to our journey to Lopez, including stand up paddle boards, bikes, and we always rent a double kayak from the kayak rental place in town - all of which we can keep on the property with us. It makes for the most amazing and adventurous vacation. In 5 years of visiting we still haven't gotten to all the places we want to explore on the island! The cottages are immaculate, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable with stunning views of the water from most rooms. Michelle and Lanie treat us like family, with their kindness (including treats from their garden!) and hospitality. They are also equally aware of giving us lots of privacy and are respectful of us having our own family experience. It is the perfect balance of feeling well-cared for and being on our own, tucked away in the south end of the island with the beautiful Davis Bay only steps away. For the past five years, it has been a great experience for our family, who now range in age from 9 to 87. Clearly we love it because we keep coming back!"
