Driftwood Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Whether you're looking for a romantic Pacific Northwest getaway or to show the kids the majesty of Washington state, this Anacortes home has the beachfront location and proximity to natural beauty you need!

Just seven miles from Anacortes' downtown, you have easy access to dining and shopping while still enjoying a sense of natural isolation thanks to the nearby beach and patio!

Kick back and relax in the living area of the great room, with a plush leather sofa perfect for enjoying nearby decor, taking in cable on the flatscreen TV, and planning activities on the WiFi.

Take a seat at the breakfast bar for four and get ready for some home cooking! Between the stainless steel appliances of the fully equipped kitchen and the grill outdoors, cooking is quick and easy. Just load the dishwasher when you're done!

Two bedrooms and baths accommodate four guests, with each room offering a queen-size bed. Freshen up in the relaxing showers, grab some clean clothes from the private washer/dryer, and get ready to explore!

Switch things up with some freshwater fun at Cranberry Lake, located within Deception Pass State Park six miles south. The Anacortes ferry landing 10 miles away lets you access the incredible beauty of the San Juan Islands, from San Juan's hustle and bustle to the peaks of Orcas to the lazy walks of Lopez.

Place your reservation today and get ready for an unforgettable escape to the Pacific Northwest!

Beautiful area
Overall my experience was great. The place and property are super cute. a few things could be improved on like fixing lock to front door and new beds or mattresses. Wifi was ok but at times not great. I would come back or also would recommend to friends and family.

Driftwood Retreat Deficiency List
1. Directions provided from roadway to parking spot and from parking spot to cabin are inaccurate and confusing. A basic map of the property would be helpful. 2. The lock on the sliding door does not work via key from the outside. However the door can be locked from the inside by turning the locking latch. We assume that is the reason a bicycle lock is provided to secure the cabin. 3. The control panel for the alarm system displays the message "Not Ready To Arm-Fault". When "Disarm" is selected the display defaults to the previous message. We can't get it to work properly. 4. We noted a gouge in the kitchen island counter top. It was there when we arrived. 5. We have been unable to locate a light switch to turn off the light in the loft over the eastern end of the cabin. 6. The BBQ grill is functional but the flame is irregular, indicating that the burners need to be replaced. 7. Upon returning to the cabin from a trip into the nearby town of Anacortes on Saturday, we discovered another vehicle in our designated parking spot, leaving us insufficient room to park our own vehicle. 8. The WIFI is not working properly. We have been able to receive emails on our iPhones but have been unable to send emails. 9. When we attempted to activate email from our laptop, the computer seized up completely and we have been unable to reboot it. UPDATE: Since returning home today, the laptop is again functioning properly, which suggests that the problem was caused by the cabin's faulty WIFI. 10. There is a wheel missing from the lower rack of the dishwasher. 11. The fan in the east bathroom does not work. 12. On Saturday night, the bed in the east bedroom collapsed, so we moved into the west bedroom. 13. We were unable to set the alarm when we checked out Sunday morning. See point 3 above. 14. Access to the designated parking spot is via a very steep, narrow driveway, with a very tight turning radius into the parking area and the parking spot itself is not level. The cabin is in a beautiful, scenic location but due to the problems we encountered we believe that we are entitled to a partial refund.

Small but gorgeous home with stunning views. Very nice outdoor area with beach access. The check-in process is not good and can be improved. The washer doesn’t work probably at all. It moves very badly on spin cycles. It moves the way 2 people should hold it as the dryer on top could fall off.

Very relaxing place
Loved the property and the view! It was a little tricky to find at first as their is two very steep driveways and har to tell which one to take. Make sure you take a compact car. Parking is tricky and not meant for longer vehicles.
