Amazing Guemes Island Getaway!
Our family and friends had a great time in this amazing property! The kitchen was very well stocked and the owners left us a welcome basket which was so thoughtful. The owners were very responsive when we needed anything. The views were incredible!

Family trip to Guemes Island
This is a wonderful place for a family gathering! Everything is just about the same as the listing says. There is a game room that is exceptional for the entire family. The kitchen is full of equipment/dishes, glasses, pots and pans. We did have a little trouble with the stove top. It is induction and we did not have previous knowledge. Maybe a little information could be left near it to make it easier to use. The sleeping options were good. Plenty of space for all of us. We would recommend this lovely home on Guemes Island.

Absolutely Perfect
The house is most extraordinary and met the needs of 5 adults and 3 children. Our time here was magical and the weather was perfect. The water view and access to the beach were the highlights. The huge front yard was great for bocce ball, frisbee, throwing football, etc. The huge ‘game room’ kept the children’s interest, as well. Lots of toys, games, books, etc. The beach kept us ur interest as we all looked for rocks and treasures. We were fortunate that the weather was good enough to eat our dinners outside around the big family table. Very Martha Stewart like. So nice to have A/C when it got a bit to hot. We took advantage of all the trails on the island, as well as, climbing Guemes Mountain. Loved just sitting and looking at the water and watching boats, ships, sailboats, seals, whales go by. The Best Family Vacation Ever!! Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

Remarkable
This property is remarkable! It is so beautiful! We thought for sure we had the wrong property when we turned down the drive it was so gorgeous! The beach is lovely with boats coming and going. The sunsets were gorgeous each night. There was a large yard that was well equipped with a bocce ball court, badminton, a firepit, etc. It was terrific for our active family. The house was so wonderful! The kitchen is fully equipped. In fact, it is the most incredibly equipped kitchen I have ever experienced in all my years of VRBO! Everything you could think you would want was there! Everyone slept comfortably in the beds! In addition to the beautiful grounds is a game house, steps from the front door. Everyone was busy and happy here! The owners were friendly and helpful! It was so relaxing to be on the island away from our hectic lives. One recommendation is to leave about 30 minutes sooner than you think for the ferry. Chances are you will have to wait for one ferry. But that is part of the charm of the island.

We LOVE Guemes
What a beautiful paradise this place is! Our vacation stay in Skagit County was perfect. There is tons of stuff to for the whole family. The game room is fantastic and the house is well-appointed with everything you could need. This is a trip we will remember forever and if we ever have the good fortune to return to Anacortes, we would stay here again.

About the host

We love living in the Northwest for its abundance of natural beauty—the mountains, the shores, the waters. We are particularly fond of Anacortes, as its a portal to the San Juans and its easy to get to, and we find Guemes Island is part of those island beauties (only without the long ferry lines!).

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this beach house, it's great for relaxing, quiet and plenty of fun things to do for all ages. It has an incredible 180 degrees southern uninterrupted views of Fidalgo Island, the Guemes Channel and San Juan passage—great spot to watch the parades of pleasure crafts, tugs and tankers. Lots of warmth and natural light! And we love the "island wave", folks living here are so thoughtful and kind and sharing, a wonderful community to be a part of! And we are thrilled to share it all with you.

From our beach house, you can easily walk to the ferry dock and explore downtown Anacortes, a lively coastal town in Skagit County offering fun local art galleries, antique shops and tasty restaurants. Located on Fidalgo Island, Anacortes was named after Anna Curtis, the wife of the early Fidalgo Island settler Amos Bowman. There is always an event to attend whether you enjoy the arts, beers or boats! Other interests on Guemes Island includes hiking Mt Guemes, a general store with bar and restaurant, Young County Park, School House Park with tennis and basketball courts, a community library, and Guemes Island Resort.

What makes this property unique

Beach, boats watching, easy access to local festivals, wonderful bike rides and hikes. Games Parlor with foosball, air hockey, billiards table, darts and outdoor bocce ball court.
