Stunningly situated on the shores of Fisherman Bay, this waterfront home on Lopez Island is a place to take in gorgeous views of nightly sunsets over San Juan Island, the Haro Strait, and the islands of British Columbia beyond.
This bayfront home is a piece of Lopez Island history, named for the man who built it in 1974. Captain Leonard Davis was one of the foremost maritime navigation pilots in Puget Sound and a member of a family of early settlers on the island. He chose this spot as the site of his retirement for the lovely weather, winds, tides, and view of the ferries coming and going from Friday Harbor.
Inside, you'll find this view showcased in nearly every room, allowing you to watch the tides ebb and flow and observe bald eagles and otters passing through. The central living space is upstairs, including a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a TV, an adjacent dining room for eight that's warmed by the backside of the fireplace, and an eat-in kitchen with every essential. There's a second large living room downstairs - a wonderful spot to curl up by the fire and settle in for a night of board games.
The outdoor spaces are equally inviting, including a small balcony overlooking the bay, a patio that runs the length of the house, and a spacious backyard with a nature path to explore. Take a scenic stroll down to the spit at sunset and cap the evening with marshmallows and stories around the firepit.

The house was gorgeous. Lots of antique furniture and dishware. Very clean! The views were phenomenal! The neighbor was friendly. The king size bed upstairs was incredibly comfortable. Overall an amazing stay!
Excellent stay. This home had ample space for me & my family. We thought of bringing our dogs since this home is dog friendly, but decided not to for other reasons. Knowing, though, that was an option was very important in our choice. We made a fire in one of the 4 fireplaces every night, & much of the wood was courteously left for us by the owner. The view from the living room’s & bedrooms was spectacular looking out on to the bay & the San Juan Islands. Town is a healthy walk from this house, & the road is safe for walking & riding a bicycle. We will definitely want to stay here again on our next visit to Lopez Island.

This was a wonderful property. We were only there 1 full day and 2 nights, so we didn’t get the chance to enjoy all the amenities, and there were plenty. They had everything needed and then some. Great relaxing vibe and the view was amazing. We will stay here again!

We loved staying here! It was clean, fresh-smelling, and the views were beautiful. We loved being so close to town and the kitchen was well-stocked and organized. Plenty of bed linens and towels.

Beautiful views and a great stay
A wonderful location with beautiful views. Our family was comfortable and felt at home. We would highly recommend this stay and we would come back again. The island is wonderful and peaceful.
Wonderful stay in this house! The views were wonderful and so close to everything on the island. Definitely also a lifesaver to have a bastion of internet/cell service!
We had a wonderful stay in this perfect location in Lopez. Beautiful view overlooking the bay, we watched the seals playing each dayabd enjoyed the sunse. The three bathrooms and all the beds were perfect for our family of 6.
The house was great. The location is close to the village. Very nice. If the only thing that was not perfect was the downstairs bathroom being a little dirty.
We enjoyed the house immensely. It was spacious, and the views of the water were gorgeous. The kitchen was very usable. We were able to have our dog and she also enjoyed being a part of things. We would rent the property again without hesitation. The price point was also good. I am made the original reservation and thought I was making it for Friday Harbor, but Lopez Island was lovely and relaxing. We also Enjoyed fine dining at Ursa Minor. That was fabulous! Thank you!
This house was a wonderful sanctuary for our time on Lopez Island. Very clean and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the view and the fireplace.

Great Stay
We were very pleased with our vacation home on Lopez Island. Great location and view. Great sunsets. Close to ferry to other islands. Well equipped home with thoughtful amenities. While this is an older home, I was so impressed at how well it is maintained, how good the layout is and how super clean and comfortable it was. We would definitely stay here again.
