About this property
Waterfront House, Mt. Baker Views, 2 Decks, Bliss
Are you familiar with what it takes to vacation on Lummi Island, WA? (If you are, you're welcome to jump down to the "We'd like to welcome you to Driftwood Dreams:" section below. - The island is excited to have you back!)
NEVER VACATIONED ON LUMMI ISLAND? Here are some VERY important things to note: 1) There are no roads/bridges to this island. All vacationers and homeowners access the island by ferry boat. Once on the island, you're only a 2min drive to Driftwood Dreams! 2) There are no major grocery stores on the island. (There is a small one which is very reliable for stocking the basics (and a bit more)). All vacationers and homeowners provision their houses by shopping at the major grocery stores on the mainland prior to crossing over to the island.
Yes, there is some legwork involved in planning a vacation on Lummi Island, but the effort is worth it because this is what makes Lummi Island so special!...Step away from the real world, relax...and explore! We'll guide you every step of the way! As soon as your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link to our Digital Guidebook which will guide you through the planning process step-by step! If you ever still have questions, you can reach out to me (Molly) as I'm a very attentive host!

Love the idea of staying in the islands but don't want to deal with the inconvenience of extra long ferry lines and long ferry rides? Consider Lummi Island! Driftwood Dreams is one of the few vacation properties on Lummi Island that is within walking distance to, the Beach Store Café for a great meal or a pint of beer, the entrance to a pristine public beach, the ferry dock to the mainland, the Lummi Island Library, the Saturday (farmers/art) Market, and the Islander Store for groceries or fresh baked cookies.
Driftwood Dreams is perfectly setup for a quiet couple's getaway, a ladies trip, or for some quality, unplugged family time! Soak in the undisturbed views of Hale Passage waterway, Mt. Baker, and the Canadian Cascades as you lounge on one of the home's two expansive decks! Sip on your morning coffee or an evening cocktail to enjoy the view while cozied up under a blanket. Our beautifully renovated, high bank waterfront home is modern and meticulously maintained. Come enjoy Driftwood Dreams on the idyllic Lummi Island!
--INDOOR LIVING--
BEDROOMS (3) / BATHROOMS (2): **Sky View Master Bedroom: on second floor, luxurious king sized bed with smartlife relaxation mattress by King Koil (select your firmness level and enjoy relaxation features), built in drawers, sliding glass door for access to the upper deck. **Upstairs Bathroom: shared by the Sky View master and the Beachy-Keen Master - large sink with ample counter space, spacious, glass walled, custom-tiled shower with two shower heads. **Beachy-Keen Master: on second floor, king sized bed, double door clothes closet, built in drawers, large solid wood desk - a great spot to work if work-from-home is needed! **Sea Glass Bedroom: on the main floor, queen sized bed, closet, built in dresser drawers. **Main Bathroom: on the main floor, bright and beautifully updated - large sink with counter space, shower/bath combo is great for bubble baths after a long day on the beach.
KITCHEN: Driftwood Dream's kitchen is sure to please all levels of culinary expertise! Well stocked, open concept, stainless steel appliances, 5 burner gas range, variety of pots and pans, ample dishware, and expansive coffee station. Note: The Islander Store is not huge so you may want to plan your meals ahead and do some grocery shopping in Bellingham before your arrival. This provides a fun opportunity to meal plan some favorites or try some new, tantalizing North West recipes - seafood linguine, a wedge salad, and a local white wine anyone? Dining-in or carrying-out from The Beach store Cafe.
--OUTDOOR LIVING--
MAIN LEVEL DECK: Just off the living room, comfortable overstuffed seating around a circular conversation table, hammock swing, dining table seats 6. A great spot to look beyond the tall evergreens, watch boats motor by, and enjoy the view of Mt. Baker! UPPER LEVEL DECK: Just off the Sky View master, grab a good book (the library on the island has shelves full) and a cozy blanket. Relax on the outdoor beanbag-style chair, or enjoy an appetizer and a drink at chairs & side table for two as you watch the seabirds soar by. LARGE GRASSY AREA: Perfect for a rousing game of corn hole, a picnic in the sun, or some cartwheels!

This is our second stay at Molly’s property. It is the perfect place to get the kink out of your jaw and neck. So incredibly restful and comfortable. The house is perfectly appointed, down to fresh spices and really nice linens plus very comfortable beds. You need nothing but some groceries, some wine & coffee and a good book. Molly offers a great selection of jigsaws if you are so inclined. Truly the best choice on the island.
The host was very accommodating and responsive. The property was well stocked and clean. Very peaceful! Thank you for sharing your home.

Two very windy nights in this cozy home were exciting and comforting for myself and 4 lady friends.
This home has a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view. The home was very well appointed and lacked nothing. We spent most of our time inside just watching the wind whipped water and ferry traffic while sitting by the fire. It was lovely and would love to revisit in warm weather. Thank you Molly for being such a delightful host.!!!
My wife and I wanted to take a weekend away from the city somewhere private with a pretty view. DD fit the bill for us perfectly. We had a great stay relaxing, recharging, and enjoying each others company and the gorgeous views. We enjoyed watching all the various bird activity from the deck. One real beach access a short drive away good for a stroll.
Molly was a great host, gracious and accommodating. We'd love a return trip.
The home is adorable, comfortable, well-stocked, and spotless. We spent several days here and fell in love with the quaint island and this home! The photos are gorgeous and accurate but don’t do it justice. We spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful views and plush outdoor seating! Perfect way to relax and de-stress from daily life. The host was very responsive. 10/10 highly recommend!
My husband and I stayed 11 days on the quiet and quaint Lummi Island in the best rental ever !!
Communication was fantastic. The place immaculately clean. The pics don’t do it justice, the views and outside areas are great. I worked six of the days and the WiFi never failed.
The amenities were lovely…good towels, soft sheets, nice beds, and really well stocked kitchen.
Read the description well as the owners tell you all you need to know about the island.we thought Driftwood Dreams was truly dreamy!!
Total 5 star stay!
We absolutely loved our time at driftwood dreams! Molly was helpful and responsive. What a nice touch that the door code had been programmed to a number we would know and easily recall! The home is beautiful and clean and each space is so thoughtfully appointed! We loved cooking in the kitchen, we enjoyed spending time by both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and the beds were unbelievably comfortable! We loved the peaceful vibe on Lummi island and found the local community to be so warm and welcoming! We would welcome the opportunity to return!

Beautiful
Stunning rental!! Perfectly decorated, very comfortable beds, they thought of everything. We cooked meals, and enjoyed coffee on the deck. Enjoyed the nature outside. We saw animal life in the ocean right outside the deck. Also had a beautiful hawks nest in the trees right outside the rental. We watched the hawk in the trees fly in and out. Had hummingbirds and various birds throughout the entire day. Everything we needed was provided, and nothing lacked in this rental! We would stay here again for sure! So relaxing, and peaceful.

Perfect Island Getaway
We decided to getaway for a last minute adventure and stumbled across Driftwood Dreams on Lummi Island, what can I say: We were not disappointed. The place is located right on the ocean with amazing views and very well equipped and maintained home. A very short but fun ferry ride from the mainland and a quick drive to the property. There are hikes and beaches to explore but the house is extremely well prepared for those who want to stay in and play board games or read books, which the property has many of.
The house is stunning inside and very clean - our host was incredibly thoughtful and checked in to make sure everything was as expected.
In all, this place is a little gem - a perfect getaway to relax and recharge in nature!
Before we got there, we got a message that there was a problem with the lock system on the door. It wasn't repaired before we left, so it was a little nerve-racking knowing the house wasn't locked up with our belongings in there, but it was okay.
Everything else was terrific. We were there as a family to celebrate my 50th birthday, and it was exactly what we needed.
The view, the comfort of the beds, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots and pans we needed.
Make sure you go to the grocery store before you head to the house. They have a tiny store on the island.
I definitely recommend this home.
We loved everything about this house and our stay. The owners have taken the time to think about all the little things. Kitchen shears? Check! Labeled lights? Check! Extra pillows? Check! Amazing shower? Check!
The only criticism we have is the Ring alarm on the back porch and master bedroom back porch. Don’t mind the need for security and Ring alarms and cameras (ie front entrance), but having video cameras observing you on living space (back porches) was ever present. I get it. But eh, could have done without them.
Again, awesome location. Thank you to the owners for creating a great stay.
The name of this property is accurate and the views and home are outstanding. Lummi is the perfect place to relax, read a book and watch the ferry- the Watcom Chief- make it’s many trips across the straight. The sunsets are spectacular, we saw ocean otters and enjoyed driving around the island to check out the sights and beaches. We hiked to the top of the island which was pleasant and had amazing views of Orcas- reviews are correct, first 1/4 mile was steep! The Lummi Island Heritage Trust has also recently opened some new areas to explore which were beautiful. We did stay on the island midweek so be warned there is not much open, other than the store. On Thursday night the beach store cafe opened and that was one of our favorite meals. Otherwise we would recommend the Lummi fish market which is on the reservation before you get on the ferry. We also loved the farm stand on centerview which had an amazing array of specialty items, cheeses, fresh produce and even some local fish. The house as mentioned is very clean and well appointed and communication with Molly was great. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, relaxing locale this is the place for you. We loved the signs to “drive islandly- mindfully, lovingly and slowly”… Overall, could not recommend this spot more.

Girls trip
Nice to meet Anna a local when we arrived. Weather didn’t cooperate but we had the best girls trip with cozy fireplace, lots of laughs, and great kitchen as we cooked our meals.
