Relaxing beachfront setting to watch wildlife and tides! Kayaks & fun included!
It's a low-bank beachfront house with beautiful decks for relaxation.
This is a unique 5 story property. Lots of windows and decks are great for enjoying the views. While the house is spacious and comfortable, the maximum of 4 guests is firm (due to limited septic capacity & neighborhood regulations) and the house is best enjoyed by adults and older children. There are no child safety features inside or on any of the decks or stairs. We only offer the 2 king beds, no additional hide-a-beds, etc. The house has a VERY open feel. The only interior doors are on the bathrooms.
Ground Floor = locked storage 2nd Floor = bedroom with king bed and 3/4 bath 3rd Floor = kitchen, living, and dining rooms, 1/2 bath 4th Floor = open master suite loft with king bed and master bath 5th Floor = small loft - currently empty
Complete kitchen with modern stainless steel appliances, outdoor gas bbq grill, big screen TV on main floor, 2nd flat screen tv in master bedroom and wifi. Water softener and reverse osmosis purification for drinking water. Large soaking tub and shower in master suite. Lower level bedroom has it own private bath and shower. The cabin itself is finished in knotty pine and timbers for a unique cabin feel. The cabin is west facing for spectacular sunsets from any of the 3 large deck areas.
Please note because of the close proximity to the beach with our small fresh water well we are unable to provide laundry services. We sincerely appreciate your efforts in the conservation of fresh water.
The beach is spectacular. The bay is designated as a wildlife preserve (Owned by The Whidbey/Camano Land Trust) where migrating birds pass through every year. Miles of quiet beach to walk, some sandy, some rocky, always lots of driftwood to check out. The tide fluctuates dramatically so when the tide is very low, you are able to walk and explore across the entire bay. Bring your stand-up paddle board or use our 2 sit-on-top kayaks to explore even more of this beautiful secluded bay. A fantastic and easy get away. It's a wonderful San Juan Island cabin, accessed without requiring a ferry ride. 15 minutes from Interstate 5.
It’s decorated in a comfortable and cozy beach style. You can relax the minute you arrive.
PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE NO BEACH FIRES ALLOWED AND NO SMOKING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE ON THIS PROPERTY! FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF ALL DEPOSITS!

The kitchen was completely equipped and the pantry of items needed for cooking was amazing. The technology for Wi-Fi everywhere and syncing to the TVs was easy and sound system was excellent. The accommodations was excellent. The views were magnificent. The lighting throughout the day and night with the many windows was spectacular. We would definitely stay here again and again.
Had a very quiet enjoyable time staying here for three nights to explore Camano Island. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood. Hope to return for a stay in the future
Wonderfully relaxing and quiet. Great location. The house was very well laid out with decks and upper and lower bedrooms. Especially noteworthy was the very thoiughtfully organized kitchen with all of the necessary implements easily found. (One small item we couldn't find was a tea strainer)

The property was very cozy. I have no complaints 😃
Gorgeous home at equally gorgeous location. I booked this location due to its elements remincent of beloved family vacations in the mountains and on a lake in New Hampshire. Our stress of the trip across the country immediately dissipated as soon as we turned onto the road leading to the property. And the property, WOW. Thank you for the opportunity to reconnect with our family surrounded by calm, beauty, and fun.
The home was lovely and comfortable, and fully stocked with anything and everything one might need.
The mattress upstairs was unfortunately sort of sprung on one side, so if you sleep close to the edge of the bed you are at some risk of rolling off!
Other than that small issue, we loved the house, the view, and the island.

The upstairs mattress is a Sleep Number Adjustable Bed - everyone LOVES it, except for those who unplug it.
My husband and I have stayed at this coastal hide-away several times. The large kitchen is set up for cooking and baking (sharp knives!) with a well stocked coffee/tea bar. The king mattress in the loft is a Sleep Number so very comfy for both of us. The host accommodates my need for scent free linens/towels.
We enjoy watching the tides and wildlife in the bay from the high viewpoint the house provides. Eagles fly by the windows. It's on a quiet little dead end street and you can pop over to Stanwood or walk the trails at the numerous Camano Island parks. We are very happy to have come across this unique property.
Large house with beautiful views and a cozy setup. The master bedroom upstairs was like a retreat with is soaking tub. House was well appointed and clean. Enough space for 4 adults to have privacy.
A wonderful place to decompress at the start our vacation
This was the first of three houses we rented in WA before our 4-nights in Olympic National Park. We selected this house because of the proximity to the water, the views, the deck, and the quiet location. It did not disappoint. We made good use of the kitchen and enjoyed simple but delicious meals at the house, and ate every meal on the deck. We walked along the shore at low tide and also visited the nearby state parks. We appreciated the wealth of information about the area that the host provided. The bay that the house is on is a hoot -- it almost completely drains during low tide. We did not use the kayaks but were thankful for the advice to check the tide table before venturing out. The house is bright, the beds are comfortable, the outdoor grill worked well and the kitchen is well stocked. Although our stay was short (only 3 nights), we left feeling relaxed, content, and well rested.
We were aware that there were several levels and stairs to climb and being over 70 , all4 of us, we were exhausted afterwards!
Would not recommend if having any mobility issues!
We came in April 2022 for a vacation to see as much of Washington as possible. Camano Island is perfect for visiting all areas north of Seattle. From whale watching on Anacortes, The Tulip Festival, and driving through the Cascades, we enjoyed coming back to the beech house for relaxing and resting. The house is beautiful and comfortable. It is nestled on a quiet road and is perfect for tranquil solitude. The views from the large windows on every side are beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable. We had unlimited coffee for early morning warming as we did not expect to have snow in April. The location is not but an hour away from Seattle; in no traffic. After landing at Seatac and driving through the traffic of Seattle, we were happy to stay in the area to eat. Jimmy's Pizza in Stanwood is fantastic.

The house was very comfortable. I LOVED sipping my coffee and watching the waterfowl in Livingston Bay in the very quiet mornings. I would absolutely go back.
There are almost no blinds on the windows, which takes some getting used to if you're wanting optimal privacy. In fairness, though didn't try, I think it'd be pretty hard to see inside the house. On the plus side, it allows for lots of natural light, which we loved!
A gorgeous home in a lovely quiet neighborhood with beach access. Great views of the waters, fantastic well-equipped kitchen with all sorts of good things in the pantry, comfortable beds. A great stay on Camano!
We loved the stay here. The home is in a perfect location, well appointed, tidy, and had everything we could have needed. The neighbors were very friendly, too. Loved watching all of the birds, as well as otters out in the water.
3 adult busy adult women looking to reconnect. Reconnect with each other. Reconnect with nature and reconnect with quiet.
We loved this property for the open concept. Yet the rooms are placed on opposite sides of the home. We were able to cook in the well stocked kitchen. The morning coffee views were snuggly and cozy. Afternoon reads on the many balconies.
We walked along the beach and learned about the tides and local birds. We appreciated the binoculars.
Talked to the lovely woman next door and other neighbors on my walk.
The Camano Island town square area is so quant and sweet. Great coffee, bakery, lunch foods and then a tap house. We sat outside on picnic tables and listened to live music. Also visited the farmers market. Loved it!
Lovely home with everything you need to reset!
I have stayed at numerous short term rentals over the years, and I believe this one was the cleanest! The house’s tall stature, large windows and sky lights make you feel as if you are living in a deluxe, comfortable, light filled treehouse, and the wood interior is very warm and cozy.
The kitchen has a wonderful, spacious layout.
If you are a light sleeper, and or have any difficulty with stairs, you will want to claim the downstairs bedroom which has it’s own bathroom. I personally loved the master suite loft bedroom with its own spa-like bathroom with a jetted tub!
I am familiar with Livingston Bay so I planned accordingly for our water activities to take place during the high tides. Fortunately we had high tide before noon every day and then again in the evening, after watching a glorious sunset we went for a paddle with the kayaks, including an evening swim in the warm, shallow bay!
I definitely plan to stay here again.
This home was lovely. Views were phenomenal and beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with dishware, cooking implements, flatware, seasonings, etc. The only downfall are the steps. As I was celebrating my 70th birthday, the number of steps made it a bit difficult. The property manager was great to deal with and was very responsive to my inquiries.
We were looking forward to our stay and were definitely not disappointed. The accommodations were as indicated and very clean. The rooms were very comfortable. The views of the water and surrounding area were a definite plus! Communication was prompt and the property manager was very accommodating. While we enjoyed the property, it is less likely that someone who has a problem with stairs may enjoy it as much. We would highly recommend this property for others!
Our family of 4 really enjoyed the house, the beautiful views, and the beach. It is on a very quiet road so saw very few people the week we were there. I would recommend it for a quiet, low key vacation.
Each day, I loved having the entire front of the house's view of the sunset on the water while ate dinner or read a book on the sofa. Had the beach to ourselves for family walks and rock collecting. Saw lots of birds feeding on the low tide mud. Saw 5 bald eagles playing together. The kids loved playing on the huge driftwood piles. We intended to kayak but never went because the low tide was most of the day. You would need to get out in the water early in the morning.
I enjoyed the house more and more as the week progressed. Appreciated the beautiful wood structure and huge windows. The front deck and entry stairs have recently been refinished. There are alot of stairs in this house so you will be climbing levels alot. And you have to get used to the lack of curtains but private enough to get dressed in the bedrooms. My kids enjoyed bubble baths in the huge jetted tub. Cable and TV worked well. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking family meals. Even a rice cooker and crock pot. We never used the BBQ grill. Made good use of the hot water pot for tea. Both beds were comfortable but it did take a couple nights to find my sleep number. The remote control ran out of batteries but we found a pack of batteries in a kitchen drawer! So we never needed to drive out for anything. Everything we needed was right there.
The manager, Jen, responded quickly when we had any questions about the house. Lots of thoughtful touches like a blanket for the sofa, binoculars for bird watching, extra heaters in the bathrooms and a telescope. We felt very comfortable and at home. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
