About this property

Family Beach House With Beautiful Views, Huge Yard, Mooring Buoy, And Kayaking

Are you looking for a serene waterfront setting on a picturesque island in the San Juan Islands that's also close to the mainland? Do you want to wake up to beautiful ocean views with a private beach to explore tidepools and watch the local wildlife? Come and stay at the “Crabbin’ Cottage” for a great romantic getaway or vacation with the family.

Our house is on a 3/4 acre waterfront lot with over 80’ of private waterfront. Lummi Island is the most accessible of the San Juans, and our house is a short bike ride away from the ferry, the Islander Store, and the Beach Store Cafe. Feel free to launch your boat a short drive down the road and use our mooring buoy in front of the house. In addition, it's a great spot for kayaking, biking, hiking, and beachcombing.

The house is set up with an open kitchen that includes stainless appliances. There are two fireplaces (firewood is NOT provided) and a large deck to watch local boats and the Alaskan Ferry as you sip a hot cup of coffee or a glass of wine. There are 2 bedrooms with queen-sized beds. In addition, we have a spacious daylight basement which includes a wet bar and allows accommodations for up to four more people with a bunk bed and couch.

This cozy house is equipped for both a short or long stay. We have a large, Smart TV with many movies to choose from, as well as games and books available for entertainment. Our hope is that our house will provide a place for you to make amazing memories with loved ones.

We stayed here for two night for our anniversary and absolutely loved everything about our stay. The home was very clean, had everything we needed for our stay, and was so comfortable and relaxing. The views from the living room, balcony and yard are stunning and we spent most of our time taking. Communication with the host was excellent, and the check-in and check-out processes were easy and clear. We loved our stay so much and will be back to visit again.

We spent the week with our family in the Crabbin Cottage. We really enjoyed our time there on the island. The home was well appointed and hosts very responsive. We especially loved having our meals on the deck overlooking the water. And our dogs very much appreciated the yard to run & play in. Thank you!

The beach access was ok for young adults, not so good for young & old. That's typical for Lummi Island as everything is on a hill! The view was great and that giant Cedar tree amazing!! Thanks for everything!

We spent a wonderful late-summer weekend at this Lummi Island cabin and could not have been more delighted. The cabin was perfectly equipped with everything a family travelling with children could need, making our stay both easy and enjoyable.The spacious grounds provided plenty of room for play, and the waterfront offered endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. The whole property, much like the island itself, exudes peace and relaxation — the perfect retreat from the bustle of daily life.The owner was attentive and helpful at check-out, ensuring the experience was seamless from start to finish. Our family is already looking forward to returning, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a memorable and restorative getaway.

Great Location, Beautiful view

The location and property are amazing! It's great they allow dogs. The bunk beds were broken, so the top one was unusable. We let the owners know so hopefully it's replaced for the next guests.

Great stay!

Everything was perfect for our weekend getaway on Lummi Island. The views are stunning, private beach access was fun, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook (and lots of extras like coffee, oil, and spices), the TV room is super cozy, and the beds were comfortable. Our dog loved the large backyard, though not fully fenced so thankful that she isn't a runner. We're so grateful for the wonderful dog-friendly and welcoming stay!

Lummi Island New Year Get-Away

Four of us rang in the New Year at this fabulous location. Nice and quiet with gorgeous views. We couldn't have chosen a better spot. Love the quick access to local trails and cozy warmth of the accomodations. Well appointed kitchen and enough space for 4 adults (and one dog) to relax comfortably without being in each other's way! Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Robb and Marea

Host profile image

Robb and I (Marea) have had the privilege of owning this beautiful, waterfront cottage since 2012 while we were living and working overseas. As international teachers, we came home to Whatcom County each summer, and we wanted our own place to "call home" that we could also vrbo/airbnb during the many months we were not home. This place was PERFECT for our hopes/dreams and lifestyle! In 2020, we moved back to Whatcom County to be near Marea's aging parents. Though we have the typical busy American lifestyle juggling work and family once again, we occasionally get to enjoy The Crabbin' Cottage on scenic, serene Lummi Island. We feel so blessed to still be able to own it, and we are thankful our airbnb/vrbo guests get to come enjoy it, as well.

Why they chose this property

Lummi Island is an amazing place to relax on the Puget Sound. Enjoy tidepools, campfires, and the fresh smell of the ocean. Well behaved dogs are welcome.

What makes this property unique

Mooring buoy, large back lawn/yard overlooking the ocean, stairs to private tidepools/beach
