Photos and Description of the Lopez Island vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)

As the quintessential 1950s beach cabin, SeaSpray Cottage is the perfect cottage rental from which to explore and experience beautiful Lopez Island, a jewel of the San Juan Islands. Peaceful Lopez Island, known as the ‘Friendly Isle’ of Washington, is a haven for bicycling, kayaking, gentle hiking, and beach combing, with stunning views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains.

Our vintage cottage rental on Lopez Island is 30 feet from the natural rock steps down to our private beach on Davis Bay. Launch a kayak from the shore, fly kites with the children, have a picnic on the sand, or go on a bicycle tour amid rolling farmlands and fields. You can walk with your family along the trails at Iceberg Point, play at Spencer Spit State Park or Watmough Bay, and explore Shark’s Reef.

Newly 'refreshed' in the spring of 2012, but still full of it's vintage 50's character and charm, you will be delighted with its bright, cheery feeling, its new plush carpeting and bright lighting.

The cozy living room is a prime place for spending time together. It promises relaxation and rejuventation. Relax in front of the warm wood stove. Read or watch the soothing water from SeaSpray's cottage windows.

Move onto the Sun Porch, even closer to the beach and listen to the waves and the grumbling sea lions. There is a large dining table here for your evening meals and a wicker sitting area. The kitchen is small but fully equipped for family style cooking. Plenty of dishes, glassware and cookware are provided for your use. The kitchen is open to the living room, across the breakfast counter.

The Master bedroom is on the ocean side of the cottage, featuring a double bed. A sliding glass door opens onto the Sun Porch so the breeze and water sounds will find you while sleeping. The kids will enjoy the cozy, built in 'cabin style' bunks in the garden side bedroom. We have provided fine quality cotton linens for all the beds and fluffy towels for after your showers. The bathroom has been newly tiled and is freshly painted. Beach towels will accompany you to the shore for your adventures there. Light up a beach fire in our fire ring. Don't forget the marshmellows!

It may look small, but SeaSpray Cottage has been a cozy, comfortable year round residence that is big on making memories for families! Come be our guests at SeaSpray!

So Lovely

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 24, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
I occasionally take 'Mommy weekends' wherein I abandon my family to indulge in solitude. This time I was SO lucky to stumble upon this cottage on VRBO. It is perfect. It is 100% exactly as the pics show: So close to the water that you can hear the waves and spend many an hour watching the light on the water. The cabin has anything you need and if you're missing anything the tiny village grocery store is shockingly well equiped.
The cabin is super cozy, I spent hours reading in the living room. The view is so lovely that despite the rain I couldnt help but enjoy walks on the rocky beach; several times I looked at the water only to see a sea lions staring back at me from the water.
But what makes this place the best is how much the owners actually CARE about your stay. Michelle was just wonderful. She really cared about my experience. She checked in and was just SO sweet. I have been many places on my weekends, but this is the first place that has made it to my 'must come back list'
Be warned that Lopez isn't filled with tourist attractions - but if you love natural beauty and a place to relax it is PERFECT. Don't forget to check out the library - a great building that was like the community hub while I was there.

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for spending your precious, solo getaway time at SeaSpray Cottage! Having a chance to instill deep quiet and rest is really essential when one is raising a busy family and working full time. We heartily applaud your strategy!

We are so glad that the music and light on the water and the creatures around entertained in just the gentlest of ways.

Please return to the cottage as often as you can. We will look forward to seeing you again. Our thanks, Michelle and Lanie

Fantastic for families

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Aug 5, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
Seaspray has been a fabulous place for a family vacation with our boys two years in a row. The location and natural beauty of the secluded beach, bay and forest are incredible. The beach is very easily accessible and offers endless hours of exploration, rockhounding, treasure hunting, tidepooling, driftwood construction and peaceful contemplation. Daytrips or bike rides to Lopez destinations like Shark Reef, Watmough Bay, Iceberg Point or Spencer Spit or island hopping are great ways to spend the day, but Seaspray is so wonderful, it is hard to tear yourself away and always a joyful pleasure to return.

Davis Bay is the most beautiful place on the island and Seaspray feels like home. Not only does it have a well-stocked kitchen and many artistic and personal touches, but it has also been outfitted with families in mind. There are many classic indoor and outdoor toys and games as well as puzzles and books for rainy days and lazy mornings. We plan to return again and again.

Owner's Response: It gives us great pleasure to see the same families return to SeaSpray Cottage year after year! We enjoy witnessing how the kids have grown between visits and how their attachment to this place, as 'their vacation house' grows too. You are making family memories here and we are so glad that SeaSpray feels like home!
Sharing this special place, with families as wonderful as yours, is our delight.
We can't wait to see you again.

Wildwood Cottage

  • Submitted: Jul 23, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
My husband and I and our 2 granddaughters, age 13 and 15 stayed in Wildwood Cottage for a week in July. It was more than we ever could have imagined. They loved their room with a private bath upstairs and we loved our room with a private bath downstairs. Every room had multiple views. Some garden, some ocean and snow-covered mountains. Our needs were graciously anticipated and more than met. We enjoyed garden vegetables, beautifully presented. We did a special outing each day. The Saturday market, loved the pizza, band and vegetables. The fudge and ice cream shop. Get an ice cream and sit on a log and look at the bay. We kayaked. Scary, but definitely a worthwhile new experience for all of us. We visited Shark Reef Park, saw the seals and enjoyed tidal pools and looking for beach glass. We did Odlin County Park and shelled and build a sand castle. We drew at Watmouth Bight. Watched some fish research being done. Enjoyed s'mores on the beach. Found driftwood and many rocks on our very own beach. We wanted to rent bicycles, but ran out of time. Rode the ferry to Friday Harbor. Worked a jigsaw puzzle - lighthouses. My granddaughter said it was the first one she had ever completed. Saw eagles and deer. If I write more, it might get boring. Our favorite restaurant was the Love Dog. But we enjoyed several more
Owner's Response: It was our pleasure to have you as guests! It was so fun to hear about your adventures each day and see the four of you delight in the treasures from the beach. You were wonderful guests and are welcome back any time you wish! Please come again to escape the south's summer heat and to relax in the coastal weather of the Northwest!
Your Cottage-Keepers, Michelle & Lanie

Honeymoon Get-a-way

We spent our honeymoon at The Sea Spray cottage and it was perfect! We had the place to ourselves the whole time ( except for the evening when the deer came out for a visit). The bay was perfect for kyaking and wildlife viewing. We watched the harbor seals play, the eagles fish and the otters hard at work diving for dinner. The gardens were peaceful and loaded with beautiful flowers, trees and veggies. The bicycling was wonderful on the island as well, with wide open roads and friendly drivers. We enjoyed Lopez Island so much that we want to buy property there and eventually build our own little cottage.... until then we plan to return to this wonderful property as often as possible. The owners made us feel so welcome and greeted us as if we were long lost friends! What a great find and a most memorable honeymoon.
