This home sits in a serene pocket off iconic Chuckanut Drive and offers stunning view of Puget Sound, its own private beach, and immediate access to hiking and biking trails in adjacent Larrabee State Park. Having recently undergone a top-to-bottom architectural renovation, the home is comfortable, quiet, and perfect for a getaway. "I cannot explain to you the feeling you get when staying in this beautiful home. the location is something out of dreams and the home is perfect with EVERY amenity you could imagine. So peaceful and relaxing." Serene. Private. Natural. Oceanfront. LOCATION: Chuckanut Beachfront Sanctuary sits within a quiet and peaceful ocean-front pocket just off of iconic Chuckanut Drive. The home faces directly west with expansive views of the ocean (Samish Bay / Bellingham Bay), nearby islands, and San Juan Islands beyond. You will enjoy a well-tended native-focused garden, your own private beach, and easy access to Larrabee State Park and other nearby attractions such as Fairhaven in Bellingham and Edison at the northern end of Skagit Valley. VIEWS and WILDLIFE: Expansive ocean views. Seals often bask on nearby rocks and frolic in the waters. A river otter family resides on the nearby coast and is frequently seen within the bay. Resident bald eagles populate nearby ocean-front trees and are often heard vocalizing in the morning. Harbor porpoises occasionally cruise by the bay. Rarely whales (grey whales, orcas) have been seen from the home. Tide-pooling creatures (small crabs, limpets, sea snails, oysters, sculpin) of all types can be seen up close on your own private beach. HOME: There are four dedicated bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king sized bed and private en-suite with walk-in shower, dual washbasins, and Japanese-style commode. This bedroom also has a walk-in closet, a private door directly to the ocean-facing deck, and expansive ocean views. The second and third bedrooms each have queen sized beds, large built-in closets, and expansive ocean views. The fourth bedroom has a full-sized bed. The fourth bedroom doubles as a gym / workout room. The main and fourth bedroom each have large flat-screen TVs. There is a sleeper sofa with queen-size pull-out bed located in the second (lower-level) living / family room. Please ask if you wish to use this item. There are three bathrooms. One is the main bedroom ensuite described above. Another is also on the main (upper) level that contains a tub/shower and toilet. Another is on the lower level (locations of bedrooms 2-4) that contains a walk-in shower and toilet. The home recently underwent a top-to-bottom renovation with a focus on comfort and energy efficiency. There is heated and cooled via reverse-cycle heat-pumps, with a distributed system serving the upper level and individual "mini-split" units serving the downstairs family room and bedrooms with the exception of the fourth bedroom that is instead heated with radiant heat. The home is also ventilated with a whole home "heat recovery ventilation" system. This system helps to keep fresh (and filtered) outside air continuously circulating within the home. High-efficiency windows and doors were installed as part of the recent renovation. Keeping them closed helps to minimize heat loss (or intrusion in summer). Of course, windows and doors can be opened; temperatures are usually mild and comfortable for much of the warmer months (May - September). There is a full laundry with washing supplies, washer, dryer, rack(s) to hang dry clothes, iron and ironing board. There is a two car garage with power garage door opener. HOT TUB: A four-person hot tub is located in the ocean-facing garden. Adventurous types may wish to do a cold-water ocean plunge (or longer swim) followed by a hot tub soak (following, of course, a quick fresh water rinse with the garden hose). KAYAKS AND PADDLEBOARDS: There are two kayaks and two stand-up paddle boards that are free to use at your own risk. Lifejackets are also provided. Coastline with incredible sandstone formations is easily accessible from the private beach. FAMILY FUN: In addition to the above there is a small collection of fiction and non-fiction books, legos, boardgames, a Nintendo Switch Console, a swing set (in upper yard) for children, and a portable pickle-ball set that can be setup and played in the driveway. There is also a portable "Solostove" fire pit that can be set up in the yard to help extend outdoor time. Or instead create a small beach fire to enjoy sunsets by the water and s'mores. AREA ATTRACTIONS: Larrabee State Park is a very short walk from the home. Here you will find multiple hiking and mountain biking trails amongst mature forest with occasional ocean views and mountain forest lakes. Fairhaven in Bellingham is the nearest commercial center where you will find most of your modern conveniences amongst the historic architecture including grocery store, pharmacy, excellent coffee and restaurants, and plenty of shopping (gifts, books). Fairhaven is a 10 minute drive from the home. Bow-Edison at the north end of Skagit Valley has an impressive selection of dining establishments and some shopping options (art, gifts) all within a tiny and picturesque rural hamlet. Bow-Edison is a 15 minute drive from the home. Galbraith Mountain is located in Bellingham and has a massive network of mountain biking trails with offerings for every level of rider. The southern access to Galbraith is a 15 minute drive from the home. Blanchard Mountain is located at the south end of the Chuckanut Mountain range and offers beautiful trails suitable for hikers and mountain bikers. Blanchard trail access is an approximately 20 minute drive from the home. Mount Baker is an approximately 90 minute drive from the home and is famous for plentiful snowfall and excellent and challenging natural terrain for snowboarders and skiers. Guests have the entire home and property to themselves. This includes the private beach immediately in front of home. Home is suitable for families and small groups up to eight people. There is no smoking within the home. Home is not suitable for large parties. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Gym ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Double-glazed windows - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 2,896 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112900000/112895500/112895463/6d34cc54.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chuckanut Point Villa Luxury Waterfront Retreat | Sleeps 8 | Stunning Views Bellingham - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=112895463&PinnedHotelID=112895463&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55410000/55400900/55400840/2bc9782f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Lake Whatcom Waterfront Home - Luxury from Sunrise to Sunset!
