About this property

Private House on the Waterfront in Quiet Beach Neighborhood.

Situated on a quiet street on Camano Island's Madrona Beach, this villa has it all. Heated swimming pool (May-Sep), private yard, a patio overlooking the beach, outdoor dining... And that's just the outside. Inside boasts a modern kitchen, a premium espresso machine with milk frother, theater, Sonos audio, and gigabit internet. The downstairs primary bedroom is perfect for people with mobility limitations. Camano Island is full of natural beauty, but you won't want to leave the house.

This is a quiet residential neighborhood. As guests of our home, you are encouraged to enjoy yourself, but to also be respectful of our neighbors. They're very nice and we value their right to enjoy their surroundings as much as we do.

Parties and events are strictly prohibited unless approved by the host before booking. Visitors not included in the booking are also prohibited unless approved before check in.

Guests are welcome to enjoy the outdoors of the property but must be mindful that this is a residential neighborhood, not a resort. A noise management solution will be in use to monitor excess noise. It does not record or monitor conversations but will notify the host if the noise level is excessive.

The pool season is late May through September. The weather and other conditions can limit the season. Because of this, I cannot guarantee that the pool will be open during your stay. Also, if you're booking the home primarily for the pool, I would encourage you to look elsewhere. Please inquire if you need more details.

It is unsafe to Kayak in the Puget Sound except during the warmest months (mid June-early September). I strongly discourage the use during these periods.

A waiver must be signed when the pool is open or kayaks are available. Even if you do not plan on using the facilities, it must be signed. This is done electronically during the screening process.

Sisters

My three sisters and I get away once a year to catch up. This year we needed a place where we could just relax and reconnect after a long winter. This place was perfect. The sunsets are spectacular, the view amazing and the house very comfortable and inviting! We will do this again! Our host was very quick to respond when we had a question and the check out process was great!

Memories were forever remembered here

This property is fantastic! Thank you to our hosts with their great communication. The home served all ages, very well. The kids could be upstairs, playing games, or watching T.V. The older crowd had a cozy living area, and kitchen. Everyone especially loved the back, closed in porch! The view was gorgeous, the long table could seat many guests. The area with 2 couches, and a center fireplace was a favorite cozy place for all. We loved the windows that opened up from the kitchen to the dining area, this was both convenient and fun! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. We loved the espresso machine and syrups. We also loved the very nice ice machine. The home is immaculate, and it appears to have a decorators influences throughout the home. The yard and pool are so nice, but it was winter when we were there, so we didn’t indulge. There are beautiful beaches, hiking, and fun restaurants nearby. It is beautiful inside and out, and around! Loved it!

Quiet, clean, charming getaway on the bay

Michael was close in contact the whole visit, from check-in to our departure, letting us focus on relaxing and making a home away from home. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment (and coffee!), the heating kept us toasty, and the view from the sun deck made it a perfect place to relax and eat our meals. There’s plenty to do and see on rural Camano, while there is still a shopping center with a full grocery store and other necessities is just 10 minutes away. I will happily come back here again.

Peaceful, beautiful stay

We stayed at the home for a mom's getaway. It was the perfect, peaceful getaway at a beautiful home. The house was so welcoming and clean and had everything we needed. It's spacious, warm and we just didn't want to leave. The view was lovely!! Unlocking the front door was a bit tricky as you have turn the key counterclockwise until you hear a click and then push the door open . The lever does not go down. But this was so, so minor in the big scheme of things. Michael was very kind and accommodating.

Gorgeous house and view!

The house is lovely, well-decorated and comfortable. And the pool was nice and warm and perfectly clean. We also enjoyed the espresso machine for a nice americano in the morning! The only downside was the neighbor being hyper-aware of noise levels- we were yelled at by the neighbor multiple times for our small group having a conversation at a normal volume/playing cards games at 5-8pm on the back patio on a Saturday night. The host was polite and reasonable, but overall there was significant concern about even small amounts of noise at a reasonable time of day.

Serenity

Michael's property is one of the most peaceful, picturesque, vacation properties I have been to. Five stars all around, but worth a mention are the very comfortable beds/linens, the ice maker!, the espresso machine, and of course the view. Excellent communication and clear expectations were also appreciated. Will hope to return for another visit!

Beautiful, quiet get away

We luuuuuved, this property. We are two people who were looking for a quiet, relaxing, upscale vacation spot over the 4th of July. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, super comfortable, and had every amenity we had been looking for (pool, BBQ, firepit, western facing waterfront, main floor bedroom with king size bed, etc.) Communication with the owner, before and during, was exceptional - Michael was super responsive and helpful. He left a couple goodies in the house including marshmallows for the fire pit (yes, we did make S'mores on the 4th of July!). The pool was at a perfect temperature, even for a nightly swim. And did I say it was quiet? So, very quiet; all day all we heard were the birds and the sound of our own snoring. I will also credit Michael for the best weather ever - mid to upper 70s, slight breeze - the best! We loved having a door to the outside in our bedroom too - great way to wake up in the morning for sure. I think we'll be back!

Nice view, unfriendly neighbor

The property had a great view of the water. The beach access was about a half block down. The next door neighbor snapped at our adult son for using the pool Our first night there - he was in for 5 mins. We advised the host of this issue and he said- “If you could keep the pool enjoyment down to boring adult volumes after seven and fire pit conversations down to church-side-conversations-during-sermon levels after dark it would help a lot. These aren't my rules, but it will be very helpful in not having him confront you and also not having him be angry at me.” We checked the quiet hours for madrona beach and they are from 10pm-8 am. We felt we could not fully enjoy the property after that incident our first night, that’s is why we leave 4/5. The property itself is beautiful, the view is great.

Beautiful and relaxing vacation

We loved our stay at your beautiful home. You were a wonderful host and everything met or exceeded our expectations. I see that you maybe allow infants under 2..? I can tell you from experience that people sometimes put their infants in the pool in dirty diapers. I got a life threatening bacterial infection in Hawaii on my eyelid because of that, so I would be very careful about that. A lot of people don't respect the rules and that's one to know about what can happen. Thanks for everything:)

Unforgettable Stay with Exceptional Hosts

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful vacation rental and I must say, it was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning location and welcome attitude of our host. The house itself was beautifully decorated and impeccably clean, with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. But what really stood out to me was the incredible attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout the property. Our host had clearly gone above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Michael was always available to answer any questions and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious getaway. The location is stunning, the accommodations are top-notch, and the host is truly one-of-a-kind. I can't wait to come back and visit again soon!

A light filled beautiful home!

We have not stayed in a home with so much light and windows. I love light and bright. The open concept main floor, the lovely eating area with fabulous views of the water were where we spent most of our time. There is the wonderful open space upstairs, with large screen, but we would have liked to have a manual. The beach is a very short walk and we took advantage and walked often. We even got to see and hear a gray whale! Would recommend this house to anyone, though they do not have games or activities to occupy kids.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Meadows

I'm a husband of one and father of two.

Why they chose this property

This home is my future retirement home. My wife and I loved it from the moment we found it, and want to share it with others who will love it just as much.

What makes this property unique

This home is quiet, but not too remote. A half hour to I-5, a little over an hour to Seattle, and about 2 hours to Vancouver. The view is stunning, and the house is beautiful. It is the perfect place to escape without being so far away you feel isolated.
