Sparkling clean home, comfortable beds and furniture, well stocked kitchen, lots of games and everything you need. A lovely sunny place to get away for a quiet weekend with the family.
This property is amazingly clean and so tidy! It surpassed our expectations! The view is beautiful as shown in the photos. Beautiful sunsets and scenery! The beds are extra comfortable and plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. I loved all the extras provided in the kitchen as well. There is no access to a washer and dryer though, unless you’re staying a week or longer. We didn’t notice this in the listing when booking. Definitely not a make or break, but something to know before arriving. Thank you for a comfortable and amazing stay!
Enjoyed a long weekend with family. The accommodations are everything you want and need. You will have a hard time finding a better view to wake up to.
Beautiful property, extremely clean, well appointed and stocked.
We had a few in town excursions but other then that spent a wonderful and relaxing time enjoying this property.
This is our 2nd stay in this home and this time we brought our daughter and grandson. It is as represented in pictures and was a very clean, comfy and well supplied home. The beds were comfy, the lines were of nice quality, the view wonderful and the location was convenient for our trip to parks and into Stanwood. The kitchen is supplied with great cookware and dishes and table settings. The management was easy to work with for registering,instructions for the home and then and leaving the location. We look forward to another visit in the future. Retired Seattle Couple
Four friends from high school- 55 yrs in making!!! We get together twice a year. The house was perfect, comfortable, clean with a great deck. We cooked, shopped and just enjoyed being together!
We loved staying here. It was very beautiful to see the water and sunsets on the patio. It was very relaxing to sit by the firepit. Morning coffee with a view was great. Fresh flowers were on the table to greet us along with a smores kit. Wonderful Wonderful
We really enjoyed this property. Beautiful views off the deck with comfy chairs to lounge in. The inside is very well kept. Everything is nice and clean. The kitchen is well supplied with cooking equipment so it’s very easy to prepare your own meals. We would definitely consider staying here again!!
We loved the house and would stay here again. The home was very well-appointed, with comfy furniture and everything we needed in the kitchen, including spices, condiments, etc. The master BR on the main floor made it easy for my elderly mom - just a few steps up from the parking into the house. There's a large TV/play room downstairs and a bedroom that worked well for our two kids. The deck is wonderful, with nice outdoor furniture, a propane fire table and gorgeous views (same amazing views from the living/dining area inside, and the kitchen). The neighborhood was very quiet, just the sounds of birds chirping. We saw several bald eagles.A note on beach access: The island overall is very protective of their private beach access. The house has right-of-way through a gated area, and I appreciated that they provided a code and clear instructions for access, but all of the rules (and so many signs!) about not stopping in front of beachfront houses, short-term renters not allowed, etc. isn't the most welcoming. But again, that's Camano, not this property. I recommend the state parks 10 min away instead. The beaches are better there, too.
Stunning home inside. Very clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were great. We were lucky enough to be there on the Fourth of July. The neighborhood was really putting in a show. Sat on the deck and enjoyed the fireworks from all angles. Overall we have no complaints.
Literally everything was as described and even better!! The VIEW was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! I loved the neighborhood the home is in as well. Very safe and beautiful area. I appreciated all the extras in the kitchen pantry, as well as the extra towels, etc in the closets. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!
This house was very well suited to our party of three adults and two teenage kids. The property was spacious, clean, and well appointed, with a terrific water + territorial view.

It is comfortable and beautiful! You will love it. It has everything you need.
My siblings and a few more family stayed here as we got together for our sisters memorial. Enjoyed sitting out on the deck, walking on the beach, playing games and eating too much food. Great location and set up!!
This home was great for our family’s weekend to Camano. Great view of the bay, the home was very comfortable and nicely decorated, the kitchen was impressively well stocked with everything you might need, linens were very nice. Our teen loved having the downstairs living space to herself. Easy to get to, enjoyed our walk on the beach. Had a very relaxing stay.
Lovely home in fantastic condition throughout! Well appointed in every way - kitchen, baths, living rooms, outdoor. A nice quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, with plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed walking down the hill to the small beach area we had access to and spent a good deal of time on the deck soaking in the view. Lots of great information in the home for exploring Camano - looking forward to a return trip already!
We had family friend stay at this cute rental in Elger Bay for a celebration of life. The property manager was communicative and flexible. thanks so much!
VRBO made for a very difficult check in because I don't have google chrome. I can search, book, pay for a rental but VRBO can not contact me with the Host. The host was very very helpful when we finally connected. Lovely home. Everything we needed.
