Vacation rentals with a kayak in Gulf Islands

We stayed here in June while we explored Olympic national al park. The house was beautiful and exactly as described. The view of the bay was magical; I loved sitting out on the deck with coffee in the am while my kids explored the shore and looked for crabs. The kitchen was well stocked and we really appreciated all the little amenities provided: ingredients for s’mores, coffee beans and a French press, shampoo and soap, etc. I have to say the number of towels and washcloths was also impressive. When one kid slipped in the mud on the shore it was so easy to bring him in through the “dog entrance” and wash him off! We kayaked one day and had a friendly seal follow us around for close to an hour. We felt right at home and didn’t want to leave!

Fantastic view! The house is beautiful and decoration is cute. Family friendly. Would love to stay longer

I was traveling with 3 kids (pre teen and teens). We all loved our stay! There was so much to do and absolutely everything we needed for anything we could think of doing. We enjoyed ping pong, biking, s’more’s, kayaking, games, cooking meals, watching wildlife (seals, a huge sea lion, weasel, bald eagles), and hanging out with a friendly black cat that visited. I cooked a couple meals and had everything I needed for cooking and storage. The view was amazing and north-facing which made me upset that I missed the strong auroras by 1 day :( I wish we could have stayed longer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect, peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful location. We saw all kids on wildlife but our highlight was seeing a pod of minke whales from the deck! We saw sea lions, bald eagles, deer, bunnies, and lots of crabs! Would come back in a heartbeat!

Wow, what an incredible property!! We had a wonderful stay and very much enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, expansive deck, beautiful grounds, and private beach. It was such a peaceful place to spend a few days, and we hope to return. We were three families with three small children, and it was a perfect place for them to run around. Thank you Don and Kathy for opening your home up to us.

A beautiful and relaxing place. A few minutes from the city center but with the impression of being in the middle of the mountains in a very comfy spot. Thanks !

The home is absolutely amazing. The scenery is breathtaking. If you are looking for a comfortable space with beautiful views this listing is for you. My only gripe was the amount of cameras that surround the entire home, this may be reassuring to some but it was a bit concerning to my family. However, I would still stay again. We loved waking up to the whales and seals

What a lovely place! Worked out really well for our family and the location was beautiful.

Great stay! Very small but quiet getaway location. Definitely can’t imagine staying in that space with more than 2 people. There was no coffee table which was where we were supposed to find extra linens so I’m not sure what happened but it was fine regardless. Everything was fairly clean, easy to find. Lots of spider webs all over the patio and furniture, but it’s nature. Would stay here again on a summer day.

This is our third time staying here and we love it!! We will continue to come back and stay at this little slice of tranquility and fun for the family!

This place was absolutely beautiful and very well located for a great vacation in sequim! We used the hosts bikes on the discovery trail and found them well maintained with easy and private access to the trail right in the back yard. Less than 5 minutes from John Wayne Marina, the location is excellent for access to the Olympic national park and the nearby town. The space was clean, well kept, and the host has clear instructions for ease of checking in and out. Would recommend to others looking for a place to stay in the area!

This was a wonderful setting for family connection. The expansive property gave the kids plenty of space to explore. We so enjoyed kayaking to Skull Island, many rounds of frisbee golf, hiking from the property to expansive views, and crabbing from the dock. The rental was exactly as advertised, and Dennis and Lynna were very thoughtful, responsive hosts.

This place is a gem! We brought our four small children here (ages 2-7), and it was great for all of us. There were lots of toys and games for them plus non-breakable plates and glasses. We enjoyed relaxing with amazing views from the porch. The kayaks were lots of fun! Such a great, relaxing family vacation spot. Bob is a wonderful host, too! It felt like we stayed at a friend’s beach house.

Had such a great stay celebrating my mom’s birthday. Very peaceful area and the space was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed for a nice staycation! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to find some relaxation.

Very beautiful place and wonderful host. Would recommend to everyone :)

Can’t wait to go back to the Camano Cottage. Danielle and Bryan have thought of everything! It is beautiful, peaceful, relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked with quality dishes, utensils and cookware—which is great, as I love to cook at Airbnb’s. And the beds are super comfy—slept like a baby. The view from the deck is spectacular and we spent a lot of time there. Just a note: beach access for us older folks looked a bit difficult to tackle because of steep stairs, so we skipped it. It would not deter us one bit from planning another trip here tho. Highly recommend!

Great cabin/house with beautiful waterfront and views! It has everything you need inside and outside. We loved canoeing, kayaking and having nightly fire in pit near beach. We will be back again to this perfect place for a getaway.

This is such a special place! The Cabin is an authentic, traditional family cabin, with plenty of supplies for a comfortable stay, but the location right on the lake is something else! We loved using the boats, spotting wildlife, playing on the beach. Such a memorable place to be with our family. We were also grateful for the prompt communication from Don. Thanks again

Had a great time staying here for an Olympic Peninsula weekend. The proximity to Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent and Mt Storm King are unbeatable, but the real highlight were the amenities. the hottub, paddle boards, kayaks, and deck overlooking the lake were all spectacular. We had a question about where to park and Belle was helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

This is easily became of our favourite Airbnb stays. The view is unreal and being surrounded by nature is so peaceful. Ashley is a top-notch host and was very quick to answer questions and provide great recommendations. The cabin is stocked with everything you need for making a great meal. Oh and that hot tub with a view, wow. Our pup Willow absolutely loved it. We will definitely come back here in the future.

Our annual getaway with three families was a great success! Both when we were hanging around the house (with the beautiful view) and when we made quick day trips to Dungeness Spit, Lake Crescent Lodge and the Elwha Dam area, we had a great time. My husband and I, our two adult sons, their wives and children simply enjoyed each other's company. So nice to get away from all the to-do lists at home, play board games, watch the two grandchildren get and give their first hug to each other. Priceless. The large deck was the perfect place to hang out when grandchildren were napping or parents were sleeping in. This is a great place for your upper Olympic Peninsula getaway.

Absolutely blissful! From coffee on the deck, early morning mist hanging over the mountains and geese going about their business, to wine in the hot tub at dusk with the bats darting above our heads, we could not have asked for a better experience. Our kids loved the loft and every creature comfort was thought of and provided for. The location, mid-range to some of the most beautiful places Olympic has to offer was perfect for day trips and in retrospect, I wish we’d stayed here for our whole trip. I hope someday we have the chance to come back to this little bit of heaven. Thank you so much!

Our cabin stay was amazing! We loved waking up to beach sunrises and walking along the sand-all right outside our cabin! This home was extremely clean and was fully stocked for all of our needs. Also an amazing location if you are looking for an Olympic Nat. Park base! About 1 hour away from all of the amazing hikes and viewpoints. Harrison was kind and also left us fresh eggs from his chicken coop. Overall, our stay was amazing! Would love to come back again :).

Incredible place to stay, pictures do not do it justice. My adult kids enjoyed the lake plunge / sauna experience. The stream / waterfall in the woods next to us were added bonus - we could here the water rushing down the hill into the lake which was awesome, esp at night. This was our home base for three days of hiking in ONP. You really feel like you have this 5000 acre lake to yourselves. We got to see the lake under both windy (white cap) conditions and perfectly still. Beautiful. We took full advantage of the kayaks, sauna, and gas grill (the extra propane tank was much appreciated and needed!) The views are impossible to describe - they are incredible. The accommodations are adequate - it is a smallish place - a true vintage lake cabin. Holly is responsive and friendly. My family won't soon forget this one.
