This is a must stay for two people who want to get away from it all yet have access to beautiful ocean sunsets, very quiet neighborhood, surrounded by charming farmland, quaint restaurants, and just 30 minutes from Bellingham, Anacortes, LaConner, and others. The owners are delightful and informative. The place was immaculate and well stocked. We were referred to the Bread Farm Bakery just a couple of miles away (the Cherry-Lemon Artisan bread was great), and the Chuckernut Manor Inn-Restaurant (where we had a wonderful Halibut sunset dinner overlooking one of the many bays in the area). Just driving around the coastal roads is a treat and many photo opportunities abound. We will recommend this place to our friends and return in the future.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had at The Beach House last weekend! What a gorgeous place. We loved how comfortable and cozy it was, and it had everything we needed. You have great taste in decor as well!

We had a wonderful time exploring Samish Island. We went for a long walk on Saturday and enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air. Even saw a few deer! Saturday afternoon we ventured out to Taylor Shellfish Farms and bought a ton of seafood. Brought it back to the house and had a huge seafood feast. Enjoyed the view from the deck as we ate our appetizer of Pacific oysters on the halfshell, then cooked up a big pot of clam linguine with pan-seared scallops on the side. We can get fresh seafood in Seattle, but not as fresh as what they sell at Taylor!
