NEW! Enchanting private getaway on bucolic south end of Lopez Island

Nestled among towering fir trees and overlooking the Salish Sea, this spacious house is perfect for families seeking an extended stay near many of Lopez Island’s top attractions. Walkers, runners, and bikers will love the route from the house along the coast to majestic Iceberg Point. The stunning beaches at Watmough and Hughes Bays are also very close. Kayakers and paddleboarders will appreciate the sheltered waters of MacKaye Harbor. The Southend Market and Café is a walk away, as is a public boat launch/dock and beach.

The large, three story house offers places for everyone to gather or find quiet moments of solitude. Almost every room has a beautiful view of MacKaye Harbor through the trees. The vaulted ceiling and comfortable seating of the great room make it ideal for the whole group to gather. The smart TV and sizeable DVD collection make for a perfect movie night.

The sunsets from the dining area are incredible, and on clear nights you can see the lights of Victoria, B.C. in the distance.

Lopez Island restaurants are wonderful, but the kitchen is fully equipped for you to take advantage of the locally raised meat, eggs and produce found at nearby farmstands. Extras include a popcorn maker, ice cream maker and Nespresso machine. A covered cedar deck is accessed from the dining area, perfect for morning coffee while listening to the lapping waves below.

Each bedroom has a desk by the window for inspiration and comfy seating for reading. The mattresses are all new and comfortable. Two bedrooms have queen beds, and the third has two sets of bunk beds. There are bathrooms on the main and upper floors. Both have a tub/shower and dual sinks. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on the main floor.

The game room on the lower level has a a foosball table, a mini ping pong table, a bubble hockey arcade game, and more. There’s also a second TV viewing area with leather sectional, DVD player and Xbox 360 with games.

Connectivity is notoriously tough on Lopez Island. This house provides the best internet service available to this location. The wifi works well enough to stream a movie or have a Zoom call. In our experience, cell reception on the property is good for T-Mobile users but not great for other providers.

Outside you’ll find a comfortable seating area around a large fire pit, with firewood sourced from the property. You’re not legally required to roast marshmallows, but we strongly advise it. There are bikes and kayaks for your use.

We want to make an extended stay work for you. Have a small pet you’d like us to consider? Not see an amenity you were hoping for? Let us know!

A road runs by the property, so there can be a little vehicle noise. The steep hill and foliage hide much of the road and there are no other houses nearby, so it still feels very private.
