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.

Spacious, beautiful home overlooking the Salish Sea on Lopez Island, WA. We thoroughly enjoying eating and playing games on the huge deck with gorgeous sunset views as well as the hot tub! The kitchen is huge with every item you need to cook, bake and serve the family! Lopez Island is fun and easy to explore with fabulous farm stands and easy access via ferry to the other San Juan islands.

This house is so very nice and we really enjoyed our stay with extended family. It is big enough for everyone to spread out. It was spotlessly clean and the kitchen is stocked to the gills. Lots of games, puzzles, books to occupy time not spent gazing at the amazing view from the back porch. We had a hiccup with the check in process that was mostly our fault and the owner was extremely helpful and communicative. Would definitely stay here again.

The owners and Bob the property manager were great to communicate with, any questions we had were answered quickly. The home was built in I believe 3 phases, the newest being where the kitchen is. The views from inside the home, on the deck, and in the hot tub are about as picturesque as it gets, and while nothing is too far away on Lopez, it provides a peaceful and calm sanctuary for family time. Lots of very beautiful beaches and hikes minutes away via short drive.

This house was perfect for our extended family vacation. The kitchen was fantastic and all the rooms were great size with comfy beds. The deck and the view from it was amazing and honestly where we spent most of our time. The steps down to the beach were steep and not well supported so it was difficult for my MIL to navigate but we loved that there was never anyone down on the beach so we had it to ourselves. The property manager reached out before our trip to help us with the ferries and discuss check-in. But when I reached out to him during our stay I never heard back.
One piece of feedback is that there was no guest/welcome book with instructions so we didn't know check out procedures - this would be a nice addition. We also could never get the DVD player to work in the living room. Otherwise we absolutely loved our stay and would come back.

This property was amazing. We had 6 adults staying at this property and there was more than enough room. While the pictures are accurate, this home was truly amazing both inside and out. From the moment you walk inside you’re immediately met with a water view. Bob was very helpful checking us into the property and was very responsive if we had any questions. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here. Hope you return in the future.

This house is amazing! It is as good as the pictures show and as described!
We have stayed at a few Vrbo's and some places aren't quite as described and the pictures are skewed to look bigger and better. I have had to resort to reading all the reviews to gather more information about the place, just to find out more about the home. But this home was wonderful. From the views, to the giant kitchen. Different seating areas for everyone to gather or have a moment to themselves.
We will definitely stay here again! A very nice place.

We celebrated Holidays and Birthday in the gorgeous tranquility of The Channel House and low and behold snow fell creating even greater beauty. The house so warm and cozy with phenomenal views, fully stacked kitchen and privacy of the water made it difficult to leave. Neighbors helped to shovel us out to make our ferry home, truly an amazing community with owner and manager checking to make sure we were comfortable and safe. Will look forward to our next visit.

Our family had another incredible stay at Channel House! Even in the off season, there is nowhere we'd rather be. Every detail was perfect.

We had a wonderful time. The house exceeded all of our expectations particularly with how private the various rooms were. The bunkhouse was a huge hit with the kids. Great, really well stocked kitchen. Really appreciate Bob’s generosity too!

We stayed at the Channel House last year and enjoyed it so much that we booked a longer stay for this year before we left. The home is quite comfortable, the views are spectacular and the walks along the beach is very therapeutic. It was very quiet and the sunsets were spectacular. Our adult children loved paddle boarding off the shore. Our 7 and 4 year old grandkids seemed to enjoy it as much as the rest of us. There were 8 in total and there was plenty of room for everyone. I highly recommend it and can see us coming back again.

This was the perfect home for our group. From the onset, the owner and property manager were great to work with and accommodated our special request. We felt the house had everything we needed for cooking, grilling, privacy, location, and comfort. Unfortunately, you will be forced to choose between great views and easy beach access at the house or leave the property and hike many of the great trails around Lopez. Bring good binoculars and you will not be disappointed. We saw orcas’ day 1. Book this house now and you will be completely satisfied.

My family has been going to Lopez Island for about 8 years. This is our 2nd time at this house. We absolutely love it and are hoping to be able to schedule next year. I live in Seattle but my family travels from Texas and Tennessee.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Channel House in Lopez Island. The house had every amenity you would need, but the highlights are the six person hot tub on the deck which we enjoyed during sunsets, the well-stocked large kitchen, and the dart board for entertainment. The view from the upstairs bedroom deck was also amazing. We hope to return soon!

This is a lovely house -- great location, impeccable views, and impressively furnished. Our family of four especially loved the hot tub, which is the perfect place to chill out and watch the sunset after a day of biking around the island! Bob was a great contact during our stay and made us feel very welcome upon checking in, too. Overall, we had a wonderful time and hope to stay again.
