As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Editor’s Note: This vintage sailboat is no longer listed on VRBO, but you can check out VRBO.com for other listings on Lopez Island in Washington.

Of all three of the ferry-served islands, Lopez Island is the quietest. If you’re looking to enjoy an island vacation while truly getting away from it all, you’ll love the laid back vibe on Lopez. And if you happen to have sailing experience and love kayaking, you can spend your days and nights on a 26″ 1970 Westerly Centaur sailboat.

All aboard for this one-of-a-kind adventure.

Lopez Island is full of peaceful, rural scenery and breathtaking nature.

Best known for its biking, hiking, and charming Lopez Village, it's a fantastic place to spend a weekend.
The sailboat sits anchored in Fisherman's Bay, and unless you have sailing experience, that's where it should stay.
VRBO
The VRBO host is not a captain, and this isn't a chartered experience. You can still enjoy a great stay right here in the bay.
If you or your travel companion are skilled at sailing, however, you're more than welcome to take the boat out.
VRBO
Tow your kayaks, and pack a tent in case you find the perfect place to camp.

The humble space includes two single beds, a small kitchen area with dishes, utensils, a stove, a coffee maker, and a toaster, a table and chairs for enjoying your meals, and a small half bathroom with a flushing toilet.
The boat is equipped with WiFi via a hot spot, so you won't have to fully disconnect unless you want to.
VRBO
Coin operated showers and laundry are available less than 1,000 feet from the boat.
Of course, whether or not you set sail, you'll probably spend a great deal of time admiring the views on the horizon, especially at sunrise and sunset.
