About this property

Spectacular Waterfront Home – Family Friendly – Deception Pass/Anacortes

Beautiful no-bank waterfront home nestled in a cozy private inlet surrounded by 180-degree panoramic views of spectacular Smilk Bay and Mt Baker.

The daily rate is for up to 6 people, with additional people up to 8 maximum calculated automatically by Vrbo at $25 per night per person.

We have a lap pool which (if turned on) generates a current enabling you to workout by swimming in place. The lap pool is open June through September at no charge. During the off-season of October through May, there is a one-time $100 fee to open the lap pool which includes heat, cleaning & water chemicals. For bookings during the off-season, if you would like the pool opened up, please provide 3 days advanced notice. The hot tub is heated year-round at no charge.

Step off the deck to miles of beach walking, clamming and some of the best Dungeness crabbing in the region. A mere 8 miles away is the city of Anacortes, the gateway to the San Juan Islands via the Washington State Ferry system and boasts many quaint shops and highly rated restaurants. The historic town of La Connor is another must-see, with great restaurants, charming shops and exciting events, such as the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Deception Pass State Park and Bowman Bay (minutes away) with breathtaking views of the Deception Pass Bridge and incredible hiking, mountain bike trails and freshwater lakes are not to be missed.

***A special note about cleaning- surfaces, doorknobs, cabinets, faucets, etc. are wiped down with disinfectant as part of our thorough cleaning procedure.***

The recently remodeled Swinomish Casino and Hotel, a 12 min drive, has a great buffet which also operates an 18 hole golf course, only a 6 min drive from our home. A small grocery store, restaurant and Fidalgo Country Inn are just 5 minutes away.

This 4 bedroom, 2 1/4 bath home offers enough room to comfortably sleep up to 8 guests, making it the perfect accommodation choice for families and friends. This newly remodeled get-away is perfect for a family reunion, a girls weekend getaway, or a peaceful retreat.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all modern amenities complete with stainless steel appliances and a gas range. Dining room table seating for 8 with additional seating for 2 at the island as well as an outdoor table seating for 8. Outdoor sofa with gas fireplace and BBQ. Laundry room with sink and 2nd refrigerator.

Take a swim in the lap pool or enjoy the adjacent hot tub, both built into the spacious deck which includes an outdoor shower, all with amazing waterfront views. Finish off your evening with a fire in either the propane fire table on the deck or a driftwood fire in the steel fire pit on the beach.

Great stay in beautiful Anacortes

Lovely property with lots of space and an impossible-to-beat location. We had one minor issue with a leak from the refrigerator and Chris was very responsive and came up to fix the problem right away. Highly recommended!

Lifetime Best VRBO

This is an exceptional property. Close to Seattle and Vancouver, this beachfront home is a perfect place to stay. Comfortable and with a great kitchen and lovely deck. Everyday, the low tide sets up a scenario where you can walk on the beach forever. Anacortes is close by, with really good grocery and other shopping.

Beautiful, well-stocked home with great owners!

This is our third time staying at this beautiful home in Anacortes, and it's become my family's happy place! The home itself is beautiful and well cared for, with an unbeatable waterfront location. The kids in our family think the lap pool is the greatest thing ever. This home is also the best stocked rental I've ever been to. They have every kitchen appliance/tool you could hope for, including storage containers for leftovers (which is one of those things I always end up wishing I'd brought on a trip). There are extension cords with both regular outlets and USBs in all the bedrooms, so no struggling to get to an inaccessible outlet to plug in your phone. Lots of nice extras like puzzles, games, binoculars, and night lights. I especially want to shout out Chris, who is an excellent communicator and so helpful with any issue that might arise. We will be back!

Fantastic spot to enjoy marine wildlife

We stayed with our 2 dogs and just loved it. The location is very unusual, right on the bay with all the local marine life on your doorstep. The beach is walkable for miles at low tide affording plenty of close encounters with herons, eagles, oyster eaters, otters and the local shellfish (clams, muscles, oysters...).

Stunning Location and Home

My parents live at the top of the hill in this area and with wanting a place for my dogs and I to enjoy the beach this was the perfect location. The home is so comfortable, the views are stunning. The beds were very comfortable and the house is extremely equipped. I put on a dinner for all my family in the area and it was so wonderful to fell like you were in a home and not worried if you would be able to entertain. I would love to come back to this home it was a little slice of heaven.

Thanks for the great memories

Our long-put-off family reunion happened here, and the site met our needs well. Great indoor/outdoor areas and views, flexibility for sleeping arrangements and different activities and schedules. Bedrooms were mostly quiet and separated enough for uninterrupted naps. Private location but minutes from Anacortes downtown and Mt. Vernon train station and groceries. But the best of all is the view: such a gorgeous PNW scene! Stairs from house to the beach level might be hard for elders and others, so being able to move straight from the home's public areas to the deck with almost 180 degree views of the bay, beach, and wildlife was satisfying and calming. This unique home is not polished, but is homey and accommodating for 7 people. We cooked and shared many meals, had plentiful conversations, and celebrated our father's 85th birthday. And he couldn't have been happier. Our two little dogs loved the place, too, and walking the neighborhood was their highlight! Note that the property outside the house doesn't allow for much walking; you have to walk up the little lane to get to flat roads. It's a nice, friendly, quiet neighborhood. Thanks for the great memories.

Fabulous getaway

We had a wonderful time staying here! The owner was communicative and worked hard to make our stay all that we hoped for. The location is perfect: quiet beachfront, but also close to both Anacortes and Deception Pass. The kitchen is great and well-stocked with everything you could need. The lap pool is great fun for both the kids and adults. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back!

Beautiful home and amazing views!!

This home is right on the water (two sets of stairs going down to the beach) and the views are breathtaking! The home is very clean and the kitchen is stocked very well. We (5 of us) celebrated my brother’s 75th birthday and he said it was the best yet. In the evening we enjoyed the deck with the fire table. The owner, Chris, is wonderful to work with!

Comfortable Lake Property

Our family vacation was wonderful. This location was wonderful for sitting on the deck and enjoying the lake scenery. We spent a few days on the San Juan Islands and we were just 12 minutes from the Anacortes Ferry! The Kitchen had a great assortment of pans and containers so we could spend our evenings at home cooking and enjoying each others company. The outdoor hot tub and shower were utilized after a long days hiking, biking and kayaking. Chris was wonderful to work with. Thanks for a great stay.

Relaxing beach house

Quiet neighborhood with beautiful view and beach combing. Updated house well balanced with rustic, vintage decor that gives a homey feel. We enjoyed all the extras: hot tub, our son played in the small pool, beach combing, a boat row, and the fire pit. Washer and dryer, nice kitchen appliances, propane grill and little things like ziplock bags were available and organized. Made for a wonderful family trip. The view and the beach awesome!

Family reunion at the beach

Perfect setting for our family, ages 3-73! We loved walks on the beach. Thanks to our host for suggestions of some great hiking spots nearby. The beach house was cozy, but gave us lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed memorable meals overlooking the bay. The hot tub and lap pool were used daily. We’re already talking about a return trip!

Comfortable stay

My friends and I enjoyed a quiet extended weekend stay at this property. The house had everything we needed, and the owner left detailed instructions throughout the house about how things should be cared for. The major drawback was the proximity to the neighbors (one is a family member of the manager) and less privacy than is indicated in the photos -- the pool and hot tub are not entirely secluded.

Lovely view, comfortable house, pool a plus, some issues

The view from this place really can't be beat. We saw a swimming bald eagle, a full vibrant rainbow and lots of sealife without leaving the property. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although be aware that the 4th bedroom (not pictured) is small and does not have a closet. We all loved the pool, particularly our kids (4&6) but it was made immediately clear to us that any loud, playful noises were discouraged... and we wish we would have known that when booking because keeping young kids quiet can be difficult (and it added stress to our trip). Be aware that the next door neighbor will be over every day at unannounced times to check the pool (if it's used regularly). We would have preferred a scheduled time for his visits, especially since two of the bedrooms face the pool area and have large glass doors and it was pretty surprising to have him right outside when I woke up from a nap. Overall we would recommend this place, but keep in mind that it doesn't feel very private and may not be the best for young kids.
