It goes without saying that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot about day-to-day living, working, learning, and travel. With strict travel advisories and airports largely being seen as a risk, many are looking for local escapes that offer a change of scenery and minimize travel risks.
Camano Island is an ideal escape for Seattle and Bellevue residents looking for peaceful relaxation, outdoor activities, and magnificent beaches. On your doorstep is the chance to visit one of several county and state parks, go whale watching, or rent a kayak and explore the water on your own terms. Camano is located just one hour north of Seattle with no ferry line!
Camano is also quickly becoming an option for working families with a myriad of remote working opportunities and easy travel options into the cities. The COVID-19 pandemic has also inspired an urban flight, and anyone thinking of buying a home on Camano may want to try a short-term stay in one of the amazingly diverse options found on AirBnB or VRBO.
Below are some of the top short-term rental properties to cater for your every need. Find one that fits your interest, or come back to try a few!
