This place has everything and is very clean. The view is amazing. The pet area was secure so I didn't worry about my dog finding an escape route. The best part is it's so close to the boat ramp, which we used every day to fish in the bay where we saw pilot whales, orcas and a curious seal. Book this place, you won't be disappointed!
We stayed two nights and thoroughly enjoyed this sweet rental. Super clean, cozy and charming. Excellent, friendly communication, comfy beds, and plenty of supplies in the kitchen. We look forward to returning.
The Gulls' Nest is a gorgeous, cozy place to stay. It comfortably fit our family of four (plus dog) for a relaxing weekend. Views were amazing, and our hosts were communicative and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.
The Gull's Nest was a wonderful selection for our vacation. The property was exactly as advertised and the views surpassed expectations by a mile. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and might be making plans for next summer soon!
Thanks for making our vacation an awesome one!
Beautiful views and nice place with no real issues. Staying on the 4th of July weekend the boat launch was extremely busy with noisy traffic most of the day. Along with no fireworks restrictions left us not well rested for a couple of nights.
On Canamo Island for a working vacation. The cottage has an amazing view - is clean and comfortable. Convenient location.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Please note that since upon arrival, the bathroom door is very hard to close by having to pull the knob to completely shut the door. I hope it gets fixed for other guests.
Charming cottage with a fabulous view! It was an easy drive from Seattle, yet it felt like I had truly gone “away” to somewhere different and special.
Cozy, comfy, clean, and excellent Wi-Fi.
This little cottage was perfect!! Everything was very clean and well-appointed. We loved the layout of the home and the beautiful view from the main room and the deck. The little area in back was just perfect to relieve my dog if we weren't headed out somewhere. The people, coffee, and bakery at The Commons were fantastic. We visited both historical schoolhouses on the island - a highlight! Thanks so much for sharing your magical space!
This is a wonderful property. The view is fantastic.
Very clean! And the wood stove was an added pleasure since we were there in late October. Great communication with owners too.
My wife and I had a great time for a short visit to Camano Island.
The view from the front windows that are across the whole front of the house is amazing!
Clean comfortable bed and a kitchen that actually had decent cooking pots and pans.
This house has an amazing view! It is so relaxing from the deck with good weather or inside behind large windows if colder or rainy.
Cute house inside and very comfortable.
From the deck, we saw amazing sunsets and watched Bald Eagles in trees above back of house.
Sweet beach cabin in a quiet neighborhood across the street from the beach. Lovely views of the Saratoga Passage and Whidbey Island. Gorgeous sunset views. Roomy deck with furniture, barbecue and large patio heater,
Kitchen was well outfitted and beds super comfy. Owners/hosts were very responsive and kind. Highly recommend!
We had some nice walks in the neighborhood and also explored Cama State Beach down the road. Would stay again!
Great stay! Love the view and location. Enjoyed the use of their kayaks and bbq. Relaxing on the deck and seeing amazing sunsets. As advertised!!
Easy access to the beach/water. Fun watching boats coming in and out of the local boat launch. The community was great and some locals even gave us some freshly caught crab. Yummy!!
We spent the weekend in this cute cabin for a family wedding down the road. It has been nicely updated, though a caution to tall people! It's an old home but has a nice history. The view was perfect watching the sunrise and the boaters in and out of the boat launch.
The Gull's Nest is a lovely apartment with great views of the water right from the living room. I greatly appreciated how clean the property was and know from experience that this is not always the case. The beds/pillows were comfortable - the bathroom is a bit small but the shower was hot with great pressure. We only stayed two nights but felt relaxed and refreshed in that short time. Thank you for sharing the Gull's Nest!
I almost thought that I would not review so I could keep this gem to myself but it is too lovely. We had the best time. We ate crab, walked Maple Grove beach and Barnum Point. We sat on the deck and watched the eagles put on a show every day. Our time was way too short.

Why they chose this property
We bought this cabin from family and remember going there many years ago when our kids were small. It is cute, fun and relaxing with the beauty of the Puget Sound, the mountains and the sun (when it is out).
What makes this property unique
Walking the beach, view of the Puget sound, and sometimes whale sightings!
