Camano Island Retreat

This house was definitely modified to be a rental. We stayed upstairs the whole time. My only real concern was that the home needs a deep cleaning, the floors were sticky, and so were the carpeted bedrooms. When we arrived, there were wet towels in the washer, the dryer was full of clean sheets and the sink to the left of the washer and dryer had dirty towels gathered in the corner ,so it seemed as though the cleaning crew didn’t finish for the day. I will say that the bed was very comfortable and the linens were clean. The access to the beach wasn’t that easy. There are steps that lead you to the retaining wall, but then you have to jump down 4 to 5 feet onto the sand, so if you are not agile, you may not be able to get back over the wall.

Kitchen had all cooking items needed and was clean. Table was sticky but not from food more like the coating on it. House was very clean. The master bedroom had a strong smell of some type of cleaner. Beds were comfortable. This was a nice house for the 6 of us and that we were able to bring our family pet was wonderful. It was also nice that beach access was directly across the street.

The place is close to beach access. The photo shows the view from the beach.There is a small park close. The open kitchen, dining and living area is spacious and allows for multiple activities concurrently. It was clean. The host responded quickly to questions and concerns. It's a short drive to Stanwood if you forgot something.

Cute place. Very convenient location. Nice owners. The house isn't new, so there was some wear and tear. My bed was incredibly comfortable. Even the bunk beds had memory phone matresses and pretty comfortable. The access to the beach is a little trail right across from the cabin and although it says "no access", the owner assured us that was for the public and we were fine to use that access. Overall, it was a good place to stay. We had a little surprise heat spell and there isn't AC, but maybe in the summer they have an option for AC in the summer?

Pros Very cute place. Easy check in and great beach access. Comfy beds with nice beddingLots of kitchen items for all cooking needs and desires. Outdoor shower spigot with warm water is lovely for sand rinse off Things i wish i knew before booking Picture of fridge implies to have filtered water but water is not hooked up so no filtered water or ice: the faucet water is drinkable but unpleasant. Would’ve been a nice warning to pack in those items. Not great water pressure at sink or showersThe all in price per night far exceeds the lower quality of the house and the cleaning service.
