About this property

Amazing Sunset/Whale/Water Views/2 Fire Pits/AC/Lots of Games and more!

  • Welcome to Elger Bay Retreat. This home has all brand new furnishings throughout and all new kitchen items as well. Master bathroom has been newly remodeled. Spacious layout with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs. Beautiful views from all of the living spaces and the large front deck. Enjoy sitting by the wood burning fire pit and roasting marshmallows or just relaxing.

    The views are across Elger Bay, over to Whidbey Island with the Olympic Mountains in the background. Sunsets are spectacular. Enjoy sitting on the deck and experiencing bald eagles flying right in front of you. Two pairs of binoculars are provided. During whale season, the grays will come in and feed by scooping up food from the sandy bottom.

    The beach access is a short walk with plenty to explore. The walk to the state park is under 30 minutes along the shore. There is a second state park (Cama Beach State Park) as well. That might be better accessed with a short car ride, but could also be an extra long walk. Cama also offers boat rentals, kid activities and more.

    Elger Bay Grocery and Gas, a convenience store that has all of your essentials is only 2 miles away. QFC ins located in Stanwood, 13 miles.

    Matzke Fine Art Gallery and Sculpture Park- less than a mile away.

    Canopy Tours NW- 7 miles

Camano Island treasure

Husband and I enjoyed our short visit at this well appointed and comfortable home. The view is stunning and the location suited our day trips to see tulips and explore the islands. The location is great and enjoyed our time their depite not able to access the beach as the HOA added a lock that host was not aware of.

Great stay with great view

We really enjoyed this property. Beautiful views off the deck with comfy chairs to lounge in. The inside is very well kept. Everything is nice and clean. The kitchen is well supplied with cooking equipment so it’s very easy to prepare your own meals. We would definitely consider staying here again!!

Whales and Kitchens

We were lucky enough to see whales in the bay most days, and that felt like a bonus to the already beautiful view of the Olympic Mountains. It's important to us to have a fully stocked kitchen for making meals. There was everything we needed and everything worked well. We would stay again in a heart beat.

We loved staying here. It was very beautiful to see the water and sunsets on the patio. It was very relaxing to sit by the firepit. Morning coffee with a view was great. Fresh flowers were on the table to greet us along with a smores kit. Wonderful Wonderful

Amazing house with an amazing view

This house was perfect for a small family Thanksgiving. We stayed 4 nights and it had everything we needed for maximum comfort and enjoyment. The kitchen is completely well stocked with everything including three ways to make coffee (nespresso, drip, or keureg). The house is immaculate and extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and I would stay again.

Stunning home inside. Very clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were great. We were lucky enough to be there on the Fourth of July. The neighborhood was really putting in a show. Sat on the deck and enjoyed the fireworks from all angles. Overall we have no complaints.

Perfect getaway spot

Lovely home in fantastic condition throughout! Well appointed in every way - kitchen, baths, living rooms, outdoor. A nice quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, with plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed walking down the hill to the small beach area we had access to and spent a good deal of time on the deck soaking in the view. Lots of great information in the home for exploring Camano - looking forward to a return trip already!

Quiet, Comfy and Lovely View

This is our 2nd stay in this home and this time we brought our daughter and grandson. It is as represented in pictures and was a very clean, comfy and well supplied home. The beds were comfy, the lines were of nice quality, the view wonderful and the location was convenient for our trip to parks and into Stanwood. The kitchen is supplied with great cookware and dishes and table settings. The management was easy to work with for registering,instructions for the home and then and leaving the location. We look forward to another visit in the future. Retired Seattle Couple

Beautiful View of the Ocean

We had a great stay and loved the view. We enjoyed having our coffee and staring out at the ocean. The Nespresso machine was a great add on and lots of tea options to choose from. A spacious house for us to enjoy. We enjoyed the fire table outside and the smores that were provided. The only downfall was there is no laundry (with kids we always seem to need it) which I didn't read before that it wasn't provided, my mistake. I assumed there was laundry just because everywhere we have stayed provided it, but a lesson learned and we made do. We had a great stay all in all.

Camano Island

This was a beautiful, clean, comfortable property that we hated to leave. If I were ever in this area again, I would be happy to rent it again. The photos are accurate as shown. Our favorite place was the deck off the main living area. We spent a lot of time there, enjoying sunsets and morning coffee. We loved the comfortable outdoor furniture and the outdoor gas fireplace. There was only three of us, but this would be very comfortable for a much larger party. The only thing I can think of that was missing was the corkscrew! Which we were able to buy at the camp store just down the road. There were plenty of small stores, coffee shops and restaurants a short drive away. I don’t recommend walking on the beach directly in front of the house. I would recommend going to the state parks that are very close by. The views from the deck were fabulous so we were happy to spend a lot of our time there.

Relaxing home with a beautiful view

We loved the house and would stay here again. The home was very well-appointed, with comfy furniture and everything we needed in the kitchen, including spices, condiments, etc. The master BR on the main floor made it easy for my elderly mom - just a few steps up from the parking into the house. There's a large TV/play room downstairs and a bedroom that worked well for our two kids. The deck is wonderful, with nice outdoor furniture, a propane fire table and gorgeous views (same amazing views from the living/dining area inside, and the kitchen). The neighborhood was very quiet, just the sounds of birds chirping. We saw several bald eagles.A note on beach access: The island overall is very protective of their private beach access. The house has right-of-way through a gated area, and I appreciated that they provided a code and clear instructions for access, but all of the rules (and so many signs!) about not stopping in front of beachfront houses, short-term renters not allowed, etc. isn't the most welcoming. But again, that's Camano, not this property. I recommend the state parks 10 min away instead. The beaches are better there, too.
