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.

Wonderful getaway

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!

Lovely getaway

The property was lovely, and access to the beach from the backyard... priceless. Loved the ability to bring our pup along for the weekend. Great views and beautiful sunsets. A few things could use a little TLC, and the listing updated to reflect. Also a note that the septic system has a bit of an offputting sulfur smell, but totally appreciated the hot/cold water filter provided.

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.

Waterfront entertainment

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.

Peaceful stay on Guemes Channel

I rented this cozy place to meet my husband after he returned from 5 days of kayaking and camping in the San Juan Islands. This rustic A-frame has a front-row view of Guemes Channel and the twinkling lights of Anacortes at night. The king bed mattress in the loft is very comfortable, and the bathroom fresh and well stocked with towels. We enjoyed the cheery wood stove, and made good use of the two-night stash of firewood. Ferries, boats and sea planes do pass by occasionally, and we enjoyed watching this activity. Our last morning, an Orca with two juveniles made an appearance! The one and only General Store on Guemes Island was mainly a pub restaurant, with very limited supplies and food tucked in the far back, but we had the best apple pie ever there! We would re-book this place for sure!

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.

Fun island. Wasn’t impressed with house

The house needs work. We felt there was no pride in ownership. Just simple things. New utensils. Clean the bathroom better. Dust the place. Put a fireplace on the deck that actually works. It had no air in the bottom and couldn’t have a fire. Replace the gate on the deck so you can actually go to the beach from the deck. Just needs some attention. Badly. But the topper for us was when we opened the fireplace inside the house and there was a dead bird. So gross.

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!

Fantastic as long as you know you are taking a ferry!

Great rustic spot on the water. Note though..no w/d no dishwasher. All else is cozy and great! But another noteworthy mention. You take a ferry to the island and they stop running early on weekdays and rather early if attending evening events on the mainland!!!

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.

Nice place; bring your own drinking water!! One burner on the stove not working, one cadet heater not working, wood for wood stove was under a carpet with lots of holes in it, so was wet. But, a great place, nice view over the water, and of course a great location.

Nice, but could be better

If you are staying here, you are paying for the view alone. There are zero amenities here. Don't expect to find a sharp knife or decent frying pan as they are non existent. You are on the beach, but don't look for a beach towel as there are none. You may want to take a bike ride, but nope. The check-out instructions ask you start a load of towels, but there isn't a washer or drier. The view is outstanding, and that is it. This locations is over-priced and doesn't look to have had a deep clean in a decade. Be sure to note that check out is an early 10am, too!

Relaxing getaway

The four of us enjoyed the quaint endearing quirkiness of this property. The cobwebs others have complained about were outside and easily mitigated with a damp paper towel. The bedroom light switch is a little finicky, but it'll work, just work with it. The stairs and railing to the beach are not present, but there are driftwood logs that have been stacked for makeshift steps which are functional. We found lovely stones which I think are called agates on the beach, and the kitchen was well equipped with items and cooking needs. Buy your groceries in Anacortes before the ferry, and consider bringing bottled water or gallons in case the taste of the water is unpleasant for you. All in all a lovely and relaxing getaway!

Very rustic cabin with great views

Okay, I'm going to go all out here. The place was very quaint the couch was comfortable the dining room table was comfortable for playing games. The kitchen cabinets need some wax on the bottom so they slide easier in and out very outdated kitchen I mean the houses built in the 1970s and it shows. You need decent spatulas that do not Splinter the plastic blue spatulas that you have are a old. The queen size bedroom light switch shorts out. Bring your own condiments they only have salt and pepper and virgin olive oil they have a K-Cup Keurig bring your own K-Cups definitely. Bring any kind of food you can bring. Plan your meals don't forget the butter. The General Store by the ferry has very limited selection of condiments. They do not have flavored cream they have half and half. If you want really good tasting coffee bring gallons of water for the coffee maker at least one gallon per two pots of coffee depending on how much coffee you drink. Which we drink it all day long so we needed a lot more water. If not your coffee will taste like fish or have a fishy smell because it's very hard water. Be careful walking down from the garage to the house as they need to put in a gravel pathway because it gets muddy and slippery and that's Washington for you we all know it gets wet here and they need to accommodate that area between the garage leading to the house is just a muddy little path. Some of the space heaters in the house do not work the one I noticed the kitchen facing the kitchen doesn't work the one in the queen size bedroom doesn't work. The one in the bathroom kicks out the Heat. That one heats up the whole back of the house for the most part. Other than that we had a great time it was very relaxing we were kind of bored not having TV but we adjusted we went out lots of walks on the beach. Met other people with dogs. On the beach. Everybody is very friendly. Oh don't buy any wood for the fire pit outside as they have lots of wood. We ended up leaving the wood we bought to replenish what we used cuz it was dry. Don't forget the marshmallows chocolate and graham crackers and possibly some pokers to cook your marshmallows. Oh and bring bug spray and maybe even a citronella candle for the table outside on the deck. We drove the whole island there's really not a lot to do. Hit all the beaches. There are a few. The general store has a summer series concert going on, Check their calendar. It was a relaxing time and forced us to talk to each other.
