The view off the deck is breathtaking. Spent a whole morning sipping tea and enjoying the mountains! It's a short walk to the beach which my children really enjoyed. We toured the Boeing factory, Anacortes, Deception Pass and La Connor....all easily doable from the house. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for opening your home. It was truly a more inviting and relaxing atmosphere than a hotel. We got to be tourists in the big "City" for the day and come "home" for our ritual habits. My husband and I hope to return one day without the children. It is truly a wonderful get-a-way. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for your care of the Marisol Beach House! We had a wonderful three days of reading, game-playing, puzzle-building and beach strolling. This was just what we were looking for to re-connect as a family! Merry Christmas!

We needed a little family getaway after Christmas. This was the perfect house for us. We've rented before, but this was the best, by far. From the moment we walked in, the views blew us away. The house itself is so warm and cozy for a big house. We cooked a lot together and celebrated the New Year. We would love to come back in the summer. Also, we couldn't believe how much kitchen equipment there was, even a cute Mickey Mouse waffle iron. Thanks for everything.

Your house was ideal for the 9 of us. The weather was perfect and the water was warm enough to swim. The walks to, from and on the beach, and the connection to it from the house were all healing. We are so grateful you shared this space and listed it on line for us to discover.

For my family, I extend our gratitude for your home away from home. We had three glorious, crystal clear days here. The long walks, time at the beach, amazing sun and moon rises, eagles, herons were all soothing to the soul. The simple elegance and fully "outfitted" service of your rental "home" was wonderful. Thank you!

With sincere appreciation for the gracious hospitality of Marisol.

It has been the perfect place for me during my stay in the Northwest.

Enjoyed watching the bald eagles against the background of mountains, trees, & water.

Until next time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at your Marisol Beach house. The location is excellent and the view is wonderful. The neighborhood is lovely. We have a view of the Smoky Mountains from our house here in Maryville, but it doesn't equal the view at your house across the bay to the jagged peaks of the Cascades. Bee-utiful... We have been extremely fortunate in that every time we have visited Washington, the weather has been blue-sky beautiful. We know that is not the case much of the time, but for us there has been no rain whenever we have been there. What a beautiful area to visit. We will definitely stay at your house again when we return.

We had a very nice stay. It was the perfect venue for post wedding gathering and honeymoon. The design of the house was perfect for catering a buffet style meal.
Some of the things we enjoyed and saw were: multiple pairs of herons, the largest most beautiful moon rise ever, thousands and thousands of migrating salmon jumping in Port Susan, dragonflies. Amenities we were fond of: charcoal bbq, well stocked kitchen, Yahtzee!!, outdoor portable fireplace, handouts and books about the island.

Thanks again. We hope we can visit your tranquil home again someday

Thank you! I'm so glad we found you on VRBO :-). It was so nice to have a place of our own among the chaos of a family wedding ;-)

The kids enjoyed walks on the beach & we all enjoyed the deck.
We love Camano Island!

Dear Ann & Eric,
All four of us had a restful weekend at your cottage.
The view is wonderful, the pace of life here is just right!

Your vision to shape this place into a retreat for us was appreciated by each of us.

Keep posting on VRBO!

Warmest regards,
Carol, John, Art & Judy

Dear Ann and Eric,

I don't know how we found you, but I think it was "Divine Intervention"--

I found such peace at your beautiful beach house. I could sit and look out those windows forever.

Walking on the beach with my daughter and grandson brought back many happy childhood memories.

Your decor is charming. I felt so at home.
I do hope I will come back again. Thank you for being so helpful and and sharing your little bit of Heaven with us.

Ann and Eric,
Vacation begins the instant we step in the door - or go out on the spacious porch. What a breathtaking view! The beach, the Sound, the snow-covered mountains! At first it is breathtaking, but soon the sweeping views and pure air remind us to breathe deeply and let go to relaxation. We loved every moment, from walking on the beach to sipping wine on the porch to the sunset and sunrise. I will recommend this place to everyone! What a find!

I spent a weekend at this lovely Camano Island destination. This charming property is conveniently located from anywhere in Seattle. It took a little over an hour to get there but felt like worlds away. The panoramic view of Port Susan Bay can be enjoyed from the outdoor deck or from inside through the large picture windows. Just a few blocks down the hill you can walk on expansive and serene beaches. Friends in my party played golf and tennis, rode bikes, and went for long walks. Inside is a well-equipped kitchen and a living room with a fireplace. Grab a bottle of wine and a friend or two and head up to Camano Island for a memorable getaway.

Thanks so much, Ann and Eric, for the chance to stay in your great house, with all the modern amenities. It felt like home. What I loved in particular was the full-on view, not only of the water but the beach, so I could check out the tides. The light, streaming into all corners of the house, from sunrise to sunset. And the quiet. It was wonderful heading out in the morning on our bikes, feeling safe on the streets and connected to the lovely surroundings.
