CASUAL & PRIVATE WATERFRONT VACATION RENTAL HOME ON ORCAS ISLAND. KID & DOG FRIENDLY!

Welcome to Grandma's House on beautiful Orcas Island! It's a warm and cozy home filled with family pictures, collectables, books, and furnishings from an era past, and OH - what a setting!

If you anticipate luxury furnishings or contemporary design this home won't be for you, but for those seeking a memorable family experience and close connection with nature, this spectacular Orcas Island waterfront property offers peaceful tranquility and private beach access.

Karemar Cove - 50 acres of designated forest land and a pristine waterfront property- features the Orcas Island setting that everyone imagines, yet so few properties offer. Here, you can enjoy beautiful views, including Mt. Baker on a clear day, stroll through the woods, wander to a nearby pebble cove to sit on a log, listen to the lapping waves, unwind completely, and savor the sights and sounds of nature.

The owner will likely drop by to provide directions that may enhance your enjoyment of this park-like property. The campfire-picnic area and beach is shared with other family homes, but you family will have plenty of room to roam - and so will Rover. There's even an outdoor kennel.

An extensive collection of eclectic and spiritual decor items in this home reflects the owner's personal tastes and the broad canvas of her life's experiences. The rustic atmosphere will get you in touch with nature and many books, movies and albums are provided for indoor activities.

    Karemar Cove is a very special, personal place. The owner is friendly, kind, and generous. We hope to return soon!

    a guest from Kansas City, MO recommends this vacation rental

    We stayed in the perfect place for our family. Karemar Cove provided the quiet and remote cabin that we desired as well as plenty of beach and forest for our kids (ages 8 & 11)to explore. The scenery was perfection in every way. Doing the dishes by hand was heaven just because of the view out of the kitchen window. The house had everything we needed and I chose it specifically for it's rustic and non-updated style.

    Melia T from Salt Lake City, Utah recommends this vacation rental

    We had a terrific time at this property. It's right on the water with great places to explore with our kids. Starfish everywhere, deer, seals, herons and sea otters hanging out in the cove and on the rocks in front of the house. The best part of the day was sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning and a beverage in the evening - enjoying the quiet beautiful scenery, watching the boats and being with our family without the interruption of email and cell phones. The accomodations are not fancy but very well equiped and Joan, the owner, lives right next door and was very nice and helpful.

    a guest from Sebastopol, CA recommends this vacation rental

    This was a fun place for my boys and I to stay. It's on the funky side-old furniture and decor. There are some things that don't work well, like sliding glass doors and screen doors, but it was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and there were lots of extras, such as books and games. The view off the deck was the best feature and the house was fairly secluded and on a dirt road. You can walk down to the cove and see the tidepools or take a kayak out if you have one. Very nice get away.

    Georgie C from Sammamish, WA recommends this vacation rental

    Karemar Cove is a gem on a beautiful island. The views from the property over the sound were fantastic and you can see down to the beach in the cove from the property enabeling the kids to have the freedom to roam. The private cove was just stunning and only a short easy walk down a pretty path. The owner, Joan was welcoming and helpful and made us feel very at home. What the propertly lacked in amenities more than made up for in privacy and second to none location.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Karemar Cove and would return. The house was homey and inviting (although the beds could be more comfortable and the old carpet should probably be removed / replaced). The private beaches were the best part. The only other suggestion I have is to have kayaks available for renter use.
