Summer on Camano Island: Three Extraordinary Waterfront Homes, Three Unique Ways to Experience Island Living

Summer has officially arrived on Camano Island, and if you’ve spent any time here, you know this is when the island truly shines.

Long evenings on the water. Paddleboards gliding across calm bays. Boats heading out for a day of fishing and crabbing. Children searching tide pools while eagles soar overhead. The scent of salt air and beach fires drifting through the evening breeze.

There is simply no better time to experience waterfront living in the Pacific Northwest.

One of the things I love most about Camano Island is that waterfront means something different to everyone. Some people dream of sandy beaches and endless shoreline walks. Others want boating access and panoramic views. Some envision acreage, privacy, and a place where waterfront living meets country living.

This summer, I have the privilege of representing three exceptional waterfront properties that showcase the diverse beauty of Camano Island. Each offers a completely different waterfront experience, yet all provide the opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle that makes this island so special.

1246 Beach Drive: Sandy Beach Living at Its Finest

For many buyers, this is the waterfront dream.

Located on one of Camano Island’s most coveted stretches of shoreline, 1246 Beach Drive offers low-bank waterfront with an expansive sandy beach that invites you to step directly into island life.

Imagine morning walks along the shoreline, paddleboarding from your backyard, and spending summer evenings watching the sun dance across the water. The beach becomes an extension of your home—a place to gather with family, launch kayaks, search for shells, or simply sit and enjoy the view.

Inside, the beautifully updated home blends comfort and coastal charm, creating a true retreat where every day feels like a vacation.

If your vision of waterfront living includes toes in the sand and direct access to the beach, Beach Drive is hard to beat.

1046 Cavalero Road: A Boater’s Paradise

Waterfront living takes on a different character at Cavalero Road.

Perched above Port Susan Bay, this remarkable property captures breathtaking panoramic views of the water, the Cascade Mountains, and spectacular sunrises over Mount Baker. From nearly every room, the scenery becomes part of daily life.

What truly sets this property apart is its appeal for boating enthusiasts. With moorage opportunities directly in front of the home and a public boat launch just moments away, it’s an ideal basecamp for exploring Puget Sound, fishing, crabbing, or setting off for weekend adventures on the water.

Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, expansive decks, and thoughtfully designed living areas make this home perfect for gathering with family and friends while taking in some of the most impressive views on Camano Island.

For those who want a waterfront lifestyle centered around boating, recreation, and unforgettable views, Cavalero offers something truly special.

108 Livingston Bay Road: Waterfront Meets Country Living

For buyers seeking space, privacy, and versatility, Livingston Bay Road offers a waterfront experience unlike any other.

Set on beautiful acreage along Livingston Bay, this property combines the serenity of waterfront living with the flexibility of a hobby farm or equestrian lifestyle. The result is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds.

The updated home is filled with natural light and thoughtfully designed living spaces, including a main-level primary suite and beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms. Outside, the property opens up to possibilities—whether that’s animals, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying room to breathe.

The barn and acreage create opportunities that are increasingly difficult to find, while the waterfront setting provides the peaceful backdrop that makes island living so desirable.

For those dreaming of a property where waterfront views meet country charm, Livingston Bay is a truly unique offering.
