Amenity-Packed Waterfront Island Retreat

San Juan County VR Permit #04PROV04
UBI # 603207724

This rambling oceanside home offers sweeping views of San Juan Island across the Channel, lodging for up to 10 people, homey amenities, and a getaway vacation you'll never forget. Known as Channel House this sunny westside waterfront home has 315 feet of waterfront and 5 acres with wooded uplands. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 gas stoves, 1 wood stove and a bar area complete with dartboard and piano, it is ideal for extended families or multiple families. Couples will also appreciate the privacy and special amenities offered by this idyllic getaway setting.

Upon entering Channel House, you are immediately welcomed into the bar area where guests gather for casual evenings playing darts and recounting the day's activities. This opens up onto the dining area and kitchen with a nearby reading nook, all with spectacular channel views. Down the hall from the kitchen you pass the first bedroom, known at the Bunkhouse, it sleeps four in 2 bunk beds and is the perfect hideaway for kids and teens. The Bunkhouse has its own TV and the house is stocked with a huge video library. Wi-fi and satellite TV are also available throughout the house.

Down the hall is the first living room complete with an expansive selection of books to suit everyone’s interests, a cozy gas stove and views through the pines to San Juan Island in the distance. One sofa make a small double bed. Large screen TV with satellite, DVD and SMART ability for Netflix etc....

Two full, nicely appointed bathrooms are adjacent to this room, both stocked with plenty of fluffy cotton towels.

Beyond this living room, down a private hallway, are two additional bedrooms. One has a king-size bed and the other a queen-size bed. Both have abundant closet and drawer space. Nearby is the mudroom with a full size washer and dryer and access to the side yard and parking area.

The second living room, with a wood burning stove, is located toward the rear of the house and features a chess board, board games, queen sized sofa bed and stereo. Eagles are sighted regularly here.

Follow the stairs upstairs to the secluded, king-size bed master suite with its own living room, office, romantic gas stove, and 2 covered balconies to soak in the spectacular views. The ensuite bathroom has double sinks and a full bath/shower.

The amenities of this house extend beyond the interior to its wraparound deck and 6-person spa. Just past the deck your private beach waits below where sea glass, shells and other treasures are collected.

Experience all of the best that this special island has to offer in our beautiful home that is sure to create lasting fond memories for all.

Perfect friend house
This was the perfect house for a group of friends or a family to stay while enjoying Lopez Island. The location, views, access to beach, amenities, outdoor space, etc were all top notch. The outdoor shower was a particular hit. We will definitely stay again when visiting the island.

Amazing views, and everything else
Great house on a sleepy island where everyone waves to you. House layout was fun and quirky, with a bar parlor off the huge kitchen, surrounded by a giant wraparound deck. Hot tub and outdoor shower ! We found a lot of hikes and maybe the best food spots in the San Juans. Definitely a place to come back to.

4th stay
We love this property as you can tell this being our fourth stay. The property is beautiful and well kept but some issues. Outdoor grill did not work, internet connection was weak (got better when new router came) and hot tub was finicky.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra and Martin Button

Host profile image
My husband and I both have very busy schedules that include lots of travel and the day-to-day requirements of running our own companies. We come to Lopez to rejuvenate and spend time with our family. I grew up in Seattle and have a deep appreciation for all the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We love to fish, hike, kayak, snoop around the village, cook, and spend time here unplugged from the demands of our hectic lives.This is our dream house and we are sure you will enjoy its charms as much as we do.
