About this property

The Arlene Camano Farmhouse

  • Welcome to Arlene, a beautifully restored 1914 farmhouse nestled in the heart of Camano Island's historic Utsalady community. Lovingly renovated while preserving her original character, Arlene offers the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed by the inviting front porch, an ideal place to sip your morning coffee, watch the neighborhood come to life, or unwind at the end of the day as gentle island breezes drift by.

    Step inside and discover a home filled with warmth, history, and thoughtful touches. Original hardwood floors and shiplap walls tell the story of more than a century of island living, while tasteful updates provide all the comforts today's travelers appreciate. The comfortable living room invites you to curl up with a good book, enjoy a movie night, or simply relax after a day of exploring Camano Island's beaches, parks, and scenic shoreline.

    The farmhouse comfortably accommodates up to four guests with two thoughtfully appointed bedrooms and two beautifully renovated bathrooms. The primary suite features a queen bed, quality linens, and a private ensuite bathroom, creating a peaceful retreat for restful nights. The second bedroom offers a comfortable full-size bed and easy access to the home's second bathroom. Plush towels, cozy bedding, and attention to detail ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay.

    The fully equipped kitchen makes dining easy, whether you're preparing a hearty breakfast before a day of adventure, packing a picnic for the beach, or gathering around the table for a leisurely dinner. Stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and essential kitchen amenities, it's designed to feel like home from the moment you arrive. A full laundry area is also available for your convenience, making extended stays effortless.

    Outside, you'll find a spacious yard dotted with fruit trees and plenty of room to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Spend an afternoon reading beneath the trees, enjoying a meal outdoors, or simply soaking in the slower pace of island life. Families, couples, and friends alike will appreciate the space to spread out and savor the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

    One of Arlene's greatest treasures is her location. Situated near historic Utsalady Bay, you'll be just minutes from local dining, shopping, golf courses, beaches, parks, and some of Camano Island's most beloved attractions. Take a leisurely walk or bike ride along one of the island's oldest roads, where charming historic homes, waterfront views, and towering evergreens create a timeless setting. In the evening, head toward the bay and watch spectacular sunsets paint the sky as the sun dips below the horizon.

    Camano Island is known as the "Island Without Ferries," making it an easy and stress-free destination for a weekend escape or extended vacation. Explore nearby state parks, stroll along driftwood-covered beaches, search for sea glass, watch eagles and herons soar overhead, or spend the day kayaking, paddleboarding, golfing, or visiting local art studios and wineries. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, you'll find it here.

    Arlene is more than just a vacation rental. She's a lovingly restored farmhouse with a story to tell, offering guests the opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and experience the charm of Camano Island from a truly special home. Whether you're visiting for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a quiet retreat, we invite you to settle in, make yourself at home, and create lasting memories.

    Hope to see you soon,

    Arlene ❤️

My husband and I and our adult son stayed at the Arlene as a home base visiting family in Stanwood and exploring the local area. It is a lovely property in a quiet neighborhood. Clean and comfortable with decor that is not fussy and overwhelming. We were sorry not to be there enough to use the fire pit and all the kitchen gadgets. Will try to book it for future trips.

Another Great Stay!

We stayed at the Arlene again while visiting family in town. The house was as wonderful as last time. Super clean, comfortable and equipped. Probably the only thing that would have made our stay even better was an electric kettle for tea. But that’s just me being fussy. Awesome place, would definitely stay again.

This is the perfect get away home for one person or a small family. The property is situated right in the midst of bayside walking and easy driving to all the island amenities. It's setting is next to a large field which gives one a sense of space and serenity at this very gracious get away home.

Golf fanatics

We just finished an Alaska cruise and was lucky enough to spend nine days on Camano Island. It was golf, great food from the Blue Heron and a ferry trip for more golf on Lopez Island. We did hikes on Camano golfed up North at Sudden Valley, we had such a great time we’ve booked the house again for next summer. It would have been our best trip ever if the blackberries would have been ripe, but there’s always next year… Thank you, Randy & Marla…

This property worked great for our late summer mini to getaway. It was homey, comfy, clean, had everything we needed (and more), and had a nice open yard for running around. We appreciated the small welcoming touches and the generous check-in and check-out times. We would definitely stay again.
