Our family of four had a lovely two day stay. This place is the cutest little rustic A-frame cabin at the beach. Is it “updated”, NO, but that just adds to the charm. The beds were quite comfortable. The views and direct beach access made this place perfect. Easy, short ferry to the island. Great kid friendly 2.5mile round trip hike up Guemes mountain. Beach chairs available. Would recommend to anyone wanting a simple, sweet getaway to the island.
An item of issue is the mechanism that holds the showerhead in place. As an experienced homeowner, I noticed that this piece was old and brittle to begin with, but yet it snapped off when I put the showerhead back in place. This happened right away as I took a shower when we got here.
Great location and simple, lovely layout. With a yard rolling right down to the beach, a firepit outside and everything we needed, it was an amazing stay on Guemes.
We loved our stay; it was quiet, beautiful & peaceful. We loved watching the boat traffic, comfy beds, there was a fan (stored under the bed), all kitchen basics, clean remodeled bathroom, and amazing water view & access. Gave 4 stars instead of 5, as the kitchen was not as clean as should be/as the rest of the home, and pots & pans/dishes/silverware were visibly dirty. Overall a nice stay!

Great rustic cabin
Loved waking up to the seagulls and waves crashing and drinking coffee while tending the wood burning stove. Couple nice hikes close by and an easy walk to the restaurant/general store. We enjoyed our date weekend! Thanks for the hospitality !

Fun time on Guemes
Loved the beach access. The fire pit is very efficient. Very comfy beds. Well heated for cool mornings.
Although the cabin is indeed "rustic" is was clean and the location is great. The shipping lanes in front of the cabin provided endless entertainment when not walking on the beach itself.
We had a wonderful stay at this Guemes Island home. Check-in was super easy and we felt incredibly spoiled to stay in a property right on the beach! Guemes is a lovely quiet island and our stay was peaceful and restorative. Thank you!
Excellent location on a beautiful beach, perfect for beach combing! Walking distance from Dog Woods preserve makes it a dog friendly location. We did have some concerns about the water coming from the kitchen and bathroom faucets. It had a strong sulphur and rusty smell so we used the water cooler provided as much as possible.

We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
A frame house w tall wondows looking over the bay. Waterfront property w all amenities to enjoy the scenic beauty and quiet of the island. Adequately furnished and spatially laid out. Make sure to carry all essentials as there is only one store on the island w limited supplies.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Great Beach Location
two friends and their dog stayed here for a wedding at Guremes Island Resort. The listing was accurate, but the automated responses to inquiries was a little frustrating. They let me know at about 3pm that I could check in early at Noon, same on the check out. Great place though and on the water.

Lovely beachfront charm
We've stayed here twice because we enjoy the location so much. It's cozy, bright, and has all the amenities we want while being pet friendly. This week was no exception but we certainly had some exciting weather and were grateful to feel snug and safe through a windstorm and king tides, just as we felt last year during a historic snowstorm. I'm sure this place is even more beautiful in summer but it's a glorious space and I'm grateful we can rent it.

Checked all the boxes
This stay was a great compromise for us - I wanted to be on the water, my partner wanted to be in a rustic space. Check and check. It was great for us for a few nights. I spent many hours combing the quiet beach for agates and other fun rocks! A note for future guests totally unrelated to the house itself: be sure to research ferries (Guemes and Anacortes > other islands) thoroughly - cost, timing, tickets vs reservations, etc - because as folks unfamiliar it did cause us some stressful moments. A lovely stay and we are looking forward to a return visit in the future!
