Vacation Rental Description

Saltwater Beach House is a charming waterfront home on 1.6 acres of  
rolling lawn and located on a beautiful, no-bank sandy beach. 
Located eighty miles north of Seattle you will find the quiet, slow- 
paced lifestyle of Guemes Island, part of the San Juan Islands  
archipelago. Guemes Island (pronounced "Gwee mus") is the easiest of  
the islands to get to as it is only a 7 minute ferry ride from Anacortes.   
 
The house was completely remodeled in 2005. New carpet, paint, tile  
floors, granite tile counters, and tiled baths. The house includes  
two fireplaces, and a view deck across the front with sweeping views  
from all living areas.   
 
Watch the traffic on the Guemes Channel: kayaks, sailboat races,  
yachts, tugs, barges and tankers.  A perfect place for sun and  
outdoor activities or to watch winter storms and curl up  
with a good book in front of the fireplace.
