2) There are no major grocery stores on the island. (There is a small one which is very reliable for stocking the basics (and a bit more)). All vacationers and homeowners provision their houses by shopping at the major grocery stores on the mainland prior to crossing over to the island.

Love the idea of staying in the islands but don't want to deal with the inconvenience of extra long ferry lines and long ferry rides? Consider Lummi Island! Driftwood Dreams is one of the few vacation properties on Lummi Island that is within walking distance to, the Beach Store Café for a great meal or a pint of beer, the entrance to a pristine public beach, the ferry dock to the mainland, the Lummi Island Library, the Saturday (farmers/art) Market, and the Islander Store for groceries or fresh baked cookies.

Driftwood Dreams is perfectly setup for a quiet couple's getaway, a ladies trip, or for some quality, unplugged family time! Soak in the undisturbed views of Hale Passage waterway, Mt. Baker, and the Canadian Cascades as you lounge on one of the home's two expansive decks! Sip on your morning coffee or an evening cocktail to enjoy the view while cozied up under a blanket.
