Agate Beach Gem

We loved our relaxed time at the Bouy House. It was cozy and just right for our family. We had everything we needed. The space is clean and well cared for. We prefer homey and loved to new and fancy. The view from all the front rooms is magazine worthy and oh so calming.The quiet location on beautiful Agate Beach a short walk away from Iceberg Point was such a joy. We had no need of a car with all the hiking, trail running, biking and paddle boarding right out the door. Chadwick Hill and Watmough Bay are super close too and a bike ride up to Lopez Hill for a little mountain biking were fun adventures as well. The south end of the island is the quietest area of an already quiet island - exactly what we were looking for. It was our first time on Lopez. Orcas and San Juan Islands are bigger and there is more “there there” on the other islands but sometimes less is more. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Perfect view

This little gem was perfect for our week on Lopez Island! It is right across a quiet little dead end street from the beach and the unobstructed view is fabulous! We love how the view was available no matter whether we were working in the kitchen, eating at the dining table, or relaxing in the living room. The home was clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies. The beds were comfortable, the towels were soft, and quiet frankly, we would not hesitate staying here again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ go to Buoy House!

Amazing Place to Relax

My family had such a great time during our stay at the Bouy House! Its location on a dead-end road was perfect and the sunsets were absolutely amazing!! It's a short walk to the Iceberg Point trail and such a fun hike; we did it every day. There was a family of otters playing and eating right in front of the house every day we were there. The house was clean and well-stocked, my only complaint is the mattress in the master bedroom needs to be upgraded. We had such a relaxing time here, we would definitely come back.

Amazing beach house

This beach house is in an amazing location on a beautiful island. Cooking and enjoying dinner while watching the sunset created some great memories for the family. We rented some kayaks and explored the coastline around here and I would highly recommend that as well.

We love the Buoy House!

This was our second stay at the Buoy House. It is cute, clean, and enough space for a family of four. The kitchen was tidy and had space for the groceries we brought. Everything was in good condition and working order. We love the location and the views. We launched our kayaks from Agate Beach and enjoyed paddling around the bay. Iceberg Point is within walking distance. Watmough Bay and Shark Reef are nearby. And it’s an easy drive to all points north on Lopez. It’s about a 10 mile up and down bike ride to the village. We had a great visit to the Farmers Market on Saturday. This is our favorite island to relax and unwind. We keep coming back and hope to stay at the Buoy House again!

Perfectly relaxing

One of the better equipped VRBO’s I’ve stayed at, especially the kitchen. The property is clean, comfortable & thoughtfully outfitted. Very peaceful & tranquil, wonderful to be that close to the water. At little distant from town but we were fine with that. Maybe it was too early in the season but many of businesses had reduced hours and/or days they were open. We were somewhat surprised by that in mid June. The hike to and around Iceberg Point was great.

The Perfect Babymoon

We had such an amazing stay at the Bouy House for our mini "babymoon." The pictures accurately reflect the property - it is adorable, super clean and comfortable with incredible views! The property manager Ruth is so wonderful to work with; very prompt and willing to help with anything you may need. We absolutely loved being able to walk the private beach area, Iceburg Point just up the road was a nice little hike with more spectacular views, and the sunsets from the beach and even the living room windows were unforgettable! It was the perfect place to come relax before our family addition!

Warm and welcoming, with amazing sunsets

This was our fourth stay at Buoy House. We love how comfortable it is, and we love soaking up the views all day and enjoying the driftwood Agate Beach for sunset each evening. The property is well-cared for, and the kitchen is very well-equipped. This year we saw otter swimming right out front. In our daily walks to Iceberg Point we saw seals, a sea lion, and Orcas. It is a special spot!

Wonderful Stay!

This house was perfect for our family of four. The access to the beach was right across the street which made it easy to launch kayaks. Our daughters loved playing at the beach and walking to Iceberg point. The house was very clean. Although the house is on a dead end street, there is a bit more car and bike traffic because there is a public beach at the end of the road. This was not a problem in any way, and certainly wasn’t constant, but as a mother of young kids it’s worth mentioning.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Hein, Manager

Host profile image
BuoyHouse at Agate Beach has been our family retreat for over years. At the time of purchase our three children were in pre-school and we all found great joy from the pristine surroundings and simplicity found at Agate beach and the South end of Lopez. The family has never been ready to leave and return home and we feel quite fortunate that we have this retreat to enjoy, and now share on a limited basis with others.

Why they chose this property

When we purchased the property a complete renovation was done including all new windows to maximize the West facing views and ever changing sunsets. The no bank driftwood beach is just right out the front door. Guests will enjoy beachcombing and children can build forts and let their imagination run. Bring a good book for the beach and relax. Wildlife abounds and you are likely to see bald eagles, sea birds, deer, and sea mammals just out front of the cabin. You should sleep well while at BuoyHouse with the fresh air and peaceful no stress environment.

What makes this property unique

BuoyHouse is basic and uncomplicated offering guests a very clean, well maintained, and tidy cabin for their enjoyment. Morning walks along the beach are a given for our family, followed by a cup of coffee from the deck. The hike to Iceberg Point is just a short distance away. . . a must do memory builder.
