Outstanding
Beautiful, fully functional house, we’ll appointed and generously stocked (really nice when there’s spices, coffee, teas, and much more). Great location. Best of all was Harvey the manager/contact. He provided timely, helpful, cost-saving information to all of our questions, most before we asked them. He even offered advice on our drive to and from Seattle, route, road food, wine, etc.

Wonderful weekend away!
We had such an amazing time during our first visit to Lopez Island! With a total of 9 guests (including 3 kids), we were all situated comfortably and never had any issues with space or privacy. The separation onto two floors and various common areas to split off and unwind helped greatly - especially after spending all day together! Harvey and his family have thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable and welcomed - providing tons of information and details to help with trip planning, having a welcome tray of goodies ready for us when we arrived, equipping the house with indoor and outdoor toys for the kids, and even having extra jackets and wellies on hand if needed! Even the kitchen was well stocked and equipped, which was such a bonus since we made many meals during our stay. I didn’t think it could get any better, but when you add all the rabbit and deer sightings right outside your door, or the beautiful beach nearby.... I could go on and on! :-) Thank you Harvey for letting us stay at your fabulous home! We made so many wonderful memories with our kids and extended family!!

Great family escape
Harvey's place was perfect for our family of 4. It was well stocked and had everything we needed! Great view and easy walking access to the beach, the kids had a blast collecting seashells. This was our first trip to Lopez Island, it was a relief to have such a nice place to call our home away from home for a few days.

Lovely Lopez Retreat
I recently enjoyed my third or fourth retreat to Harvey's wonderful vacation home on Lopez Island. First, he's a pleasure to work with and even sends you an email with special tips about island activities. He gave us a tip to visit a local farm, which was one of the highlights of the stay. Next, his home is wonderful, spacious, clean and the view is stunning! My family all enjoy cooking and this home is definitely set up by cooks. The home is very updated and modern. The home works really well for many different configurations of groups. I've been just with my immediate family of four and another time with my extended family including my sister and her husband and my parents. The home handled our party of four or of eight easily. There are multiple living areas, which makes it nice when sub groupings feel like doing different things. My favorite part .. the large deck that wraps the front of the house, so you can sit and gaze out at the view. Thank you Harvey!

An amazing place to stay & explore Lopez
If having the chance to visit Lopez Island wasn't enough, finding this place to stay was just fantastic! Lopez is such a great island to explore, so much natural beauty, and to be able to return to this house after a long day discovering was super. Everything we needed was at hand (in some cases even better than our own homes!) and the view from the front deck is like nothing else. The house is really well laid out with bedrooms away from the living room(s), and all the different spaces to hang out let's you have your own space even if you have a biggish group. Attention to detail is really evident too, from the treats host Harvey has ready when you arrive, to the no fuss wifi and the seriously comfortable beds. Coming from Australia we were worried about jet lag but the beds in this house cured that no problem. it's hard, actually impossible, to think of anything we would improve... apart from the fact that we couldn't stay forever. Already thinking about another trip back to Lopez in a few years time & this place will absolutely be top of our list. The view, the easy walks along the ocean at your front door, the beds, the space, the fully equipped kitchen. The tv looked good but to be honest we didn't even turn it on! no need to when the best thing to watch is through the windows! These pics are from morning walks, & the view from the front bedroom. Thanks Harvey for hosting, greetings from Sydney.

Dear Helen & Margaret, Sydney, Australia Im so glad you and your mother chose to stay at Lopez VistaBay House. I know traveling so far from Australia with many choices to visit and such limited time , nobody wants to waste a second staying some where not truly memorable. This is exactly why Lopez VistaBay House was designed, to meet guests expectations & so much more. Thank you for sharing your fond memories & why you enjoyed this vacation property. Your feedback helps new visitors decide how to make better choices because vacation time is so precious. We look forward seeing you and your family upon your next visit to the great Pacific North West and Lopez Island. Wishing you all the very best for 2017! Warmly, Harvey C. PPty Mgr

One of the best Mini-Vacations we ever had!!
We have travelled quite a bit and tried multiple stay options, but this vacation would rate amongst the best we ever had. Right from the time of booking the property manager Harvey was very cooperative, explained us 'fine print' very well, provided us expert guidance on planning the trip and was extremely warm and courteous. The property is well managed, the kitchen and other accessories well stocked and the best part is has the most beautiful views of beach and countryside. Though the weather was good only on the first day, but the property more than made up for it. Would love to return!

About the neighbourhood
Many island rentals are on elevated mid to high bank sloped land that can restrict getting to the water and beach making things less safe for children. Our west-mid-island property is central and easy with lots of flat level beach access & a wide open bay for walking or biking outside, this means less driving hassles to get to a nice beach or walking area. If you are into healthy lifestyle living...ie..farm to kitchen, all organic, slow food, ten mile diet, etc. then Lopez is a real treasure as most every food group can be found through local farms and producers from organic: free range eggs thru to local beef, pork, lamb thru to two on island organic bakeries and more. Unless you have your own bio dynamic farm, this kind of experience is less feasible on the other San Juans islands and makes Lopez all the more unique!
