Driftwood Dreams - Retreat! Cozy & Incredible View

Are you familiar with what it takes to vacation on Lummi Island, WA?
(If you are, you're welcome to jump down to the "We'd like to welcome you to Driftwood Dreams:" section below. - The island is excited to have you back!)

NEVER VACATIONED ON LUMMI ISLAND? Here are some VERY important things to note:
1) There are no roads/bridges to this island. All vacationers and homeowners access the island by ferry boat. Once on the island, you're only a 2min drive to Driftwood Dreams!
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.

Yes, there is some legwork involved in planning a vacation on Lummi Island, but the effort is worth it because this is what makes Lummi Island so special!...Step away from the real world, relax...and explore!
We'll guide you every step of the way! As soon as your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link to our Digital Guidebook which will guide you through the planning process step-by step! If you ever still have questions, you can reach out to me (Molly) as I'm a very attentive host!

--ESCPAE & UNWIND--

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. Our beautifully renovated, high bank waterfront home is modern and meticulously maintained. Come enjoy Driftwood Dreams on the idyllic Lummi Island!

--INDOOR LIVING--

BEDROOMS (3) / BATHROOMS (2): **Sky View Master Bedroom: on second floor, luxurious king sized bed with smartlife relaxation mattress by King Koil (select your firmness level and enjoy relaxation features), built in drawers, sliding glass door for access to the upper deck. **Upstairs Bathroom: shared by the Sky View master and the Beachy-Keen Master - large sink with ample counter space, spacious, glass walled, custom-tiled shower with two shower heads. **Beachy-Keen Master: on second floor, king sized bed, double door clothes closet, built in drawers, large solid wood desk - a great spot to work if work-from-home is needed! **Sea Glass Bedroom: on the main floor, queen sized bed, closet, built in dresser drawers. **Main Bathroom: on the main floor, bright and beautifully updated - large sink with counter space, shower/bath combo is great for bubble baths after a long day on the beach.

KITCHEN: Driftwood Dream's kitchen is sure to please all levels of culinary expertise! Well stocked, open concept, stainless steel appliances, 5 burner gas range, variety of pots and pans, ample dishware, and expansive coffee station.
Note: The Islander Store is not huge so you may want to plan your meals ahead and do some grocery shopping in Bellingham before your arrival. This provides a fun opportunity to meal plan some favorites or try some new, tantalizing North West recipes - seafood linguine, a wedge salad, and a local white wine anyone? Dining-in or carrying-out from The Beach store Cafe.

Christie M.

Beautiful
Stunning rental!! Perfectly decorated, very comfortable beds, they thought of everything. We cooked meals, and enjoyed coffee on the deck. Enjoyed the nature outside. We saw animal life in the ocean right outside the deck. Also had a beautiful hawks nest in the trees right outside the rental. We watched the hawk in the trees fly in and out. Had hummingbirds and various birds throughout the entire day. Everything we needed was provided, and nothing lacked in this rental! We would stay here again for sure! So relaxing, and peaceful.

Perfect Island Getaway
We decided to getaway for a last minute adventure and stumbled across Driftwood Dreams on Lummi Island, what can I say: We were not disappointed. The place is located right on the ocean with amazing views and very well equipped and maintained home. A very short but fun ferry ride from the mainland and a quick drive to the property. There are hikes and beaches to explore but the house is extremely well prepared for those who want to stay in and play board games or read books, which the property has many of. The house is stunning inside and very clean - our host was incredibly thoughtful and checked in to make sure everything was as expected. In all, this place is a little gem - a perfect getaway to relax and recharge in nature!
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023
