60 Eliza Island, Bellingham, WA, 98226
About This Home
High bank waterfront cabin on private Eliza Island, just off the coast of Bellingham in Whatcom County. This 2-bedroom retreat captures sweeping eastern views of Bellingham Bay, the Canadian mountain range, and Chuckanut, with stunning sunrise exposure that fills the home with natural light. The cabin features natural wood interior paneling and vaulted ceilings that create a warm, open feel. A propane stove adds comfort year-round, while the propane paired with a solar and battery-powered inverter supports easy off-grid living. An additional unfinished outbuilding offers flexibility to make it your own—ideal for a bunkhouse, storage, an office, or a creative space. There is no direct beach access from the lot, but nearby access points are just a short walk or golf cart ride away, making it easy to enjoy. This property is well-suited for shared ownership—consider partnering with friends, or colleagues to create a private island retreat and maximize use throughout the year. While short-term rentals are not allowed on Eliza Island, co-ownership provides a smart and enjoyable way to experience island living. Island amenities include a full-time caretaker, tideland rights, beach access points, park areas, and a private airstrip (WA93), making it a great option for aviation enthusiasts or those seeking a true Pacific Northwest island escape. Located approximately 20 minutes from Bellingham by boat, with walk-on water taxi access available. No rentals allowed.
