The Decatur Head Beach Association is a community composed of forty families organized as a cooperative. We are united by our shared love for this special place where we work together to maintain a relaxing vacation spot, with a minimal impact on the environment.
Our eight cabins sit alongside one-and-a-half miles of waterfront on Decatur Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. One cabin is occupied by our caretakers, while the other seven are shared by the forty owners, who take turns using them. We also have two docks, eight mooring buoys, a tennis court, our own well, and a boat for shuttling to and from the mainland.
The cabins are all unique, well-equipped and maintained, and sleep anywhere from four to ten guests. We have storage for skiffs, kayaks, outboards, fuel, oars, crab pots, and personal lockers for each member.
Decatur Island is approximately two miles by three miles in size, with a one-room school, a Saturday market, and a country store with a lunch counter that serves delicious milkshakes.
And if that wasn’t enough, James Island State Park is just a short row or paddle away.
