Beach house no-bank waterfront 4-bedroom vacation home on Camano Island

It was a very beautiful and well stocked home. The hosts were kind and the view was absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely stay here again.

A Bit of Paradise Within Driving Distance From SeattleMy friends and I loved staying here. The home has a gorgeous view, is right on the water, and is spacious and comfortable with lovely high ceilings. It has what could be considered two master bedroom suites, which makes it special. And then there are the other rooms, including the living room with a gas fireplace and another bedroom with fantastic views. In the midst of all the quiet and amazing views, we had a fabulous experience: two grey whales that fed for hours near the home. In fact, we could hear them breathing as we sat on the back deck. I've stayed in many homes, but this particular one--which can be under an hour and a half from Seattle--is one of the best.

Of course the view and location is amazing. We were quite upset with the condition of the BBQ we planned to use for two dinners. The BBQ was literally falling apart and rusted out. The owner next door brought us a brush to clean the grill. There was no cleaning this grill it was that rusted and deteriorated. Next door owners ended up spending 2 hours cleaning their own grill in our yard of the rental property for our use. We did appreciate the use of their grill although a bit uncomfortable while they were cleaning it. There was no access to the beach as advertised. The first day we got their the owner and his son spent several hours moving drift wood and came back the next day with a chain saw to make a path to the beach. While we appreciate all this it was on our time (no privacy). There were 8 girls with lots of food. We needed to use the additional refrigerators in the garage. The one refrigerator was disgustingly dirty (used to refrigerate fish.) The other refrigerator broke down first day we were there. Advertising says there is a 3 car garage and parking for 5 cars. The garage was full of contents stored in no organized manner. We had no use of the garage and could only park 4 cars in the driveway. Advertising mentions a hot tub. There is no hot tub. There is a soaking tub in one of the bathrooms. The outdoor wood furniture should be disposed of. Its old and a liability if it collapses when sat on. We felt these things should have been addressed before we arrived.

Our group enjoyed our visit on Camano Island!
