This is a beautiful home in an even more beautiful setting. Its mid century modern design detailing and craftsmanship made us feel spoiled and the home couldn’t get much closer to the water without being on stilts! The only negatives were the refrigerator that wasn’t cold enough and frying pans that had seen better days.Overall, we would love to be able to return to this house and highly recommend it to others.

What can I say that others haven't already said about this beautiful property? When you walk in the door you will be entranced and you will feel it the entire time whether you enjoy all the hiking, restaurants, shopping, outdoor adventures the island has to offer or if you just stay here and soak in the water view. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms. No A/C, but we stayed in July and did not need it. There are a couple fans for the two bedrooms on the main floor. We stayed 5 nights, never lost power or internet. What a blessing to spend time here.

Home was very comfortable with a beautiful view of the northern islands. It was quite for major downtime we needed. Driveway is steep, but easy to maneuver. House was clean, warm and all the basics were available. I'd highly recommend.

Our second stay at this house and it was just as nice and relaxing as before. Nice ocean view from all but one bedroom and the bathrooms. Host was efficient and professional. Pretty friendly, but unless you have one with you, you wouldn't know there were any pets having visited. Clean! Nice kitchen and all of the rooms, actually. Removed from the crowds but accessible to everything. Highly recommend the Deer Harbor Charter for whale watching.

Bed in 2nd bedroom should be bigger than a double. Perhaps a Queen. There’s space for it. Otherwise it was great especially for sighting deer, seals, eagle and even a humpback whale!! Great amenities too!

Simply divine

Our family of four (kids aged 3 and 5) enjoyed this home so much that I cried when we left (which never happens!). The home is so well lived in, it feels like you are staying at a friend’s home. Some vacation rentals really lack all the amenities to make a house feel like a home: this one has everything - kitchenware, enough dishes and cutlery to actually fill the dishwasher before running it, linens, places to hang the linens, toys, stools, books for all ages and loads of games, etc: it is the best rental we have ever stayed at. The views are incredible: we saw dall porpoises, harbor seals, otters and bald eagles. Sunset is simply divine and the beach is so perfect for exploring and enjoying wildlife. Kids can also enjoy the small yard, in the front and back. Check in and out was seamless. Truly out family’s favorite vacation, much because of this home - and Orcas Island was amazing as well. Highly recommend, including for those with young kids (I’d have felt pretty wonderful with an infant as well!).

Paradise with the best sunset

We had a wonderful experience at this home. It was easy to find and roomy enough for the whole family. We appreciated the kids toys and books (and lack of access to the ocean off the deck to keep the little guys safe). The pantry was great for food storage. The sunsets off the deck couldn’t be beat. We watched bald eagles, harbor porpoises, harbor seals, and river otters from the porch. A big fat raccoon came by at night, so don’t leave food out! We also saw a deer one evening. Highly recommend this San Juan paradise.

Serene Beauty

This house is in a beautiful location! The neighborhood is quiet, tucked away, and filled with towering old growth trees! This house is set right above the beach as pictured! The breathtaking views of the water fill the windows (and deck) and made a peaceful retreat for all of us. The sounds of the water, boaters passing by, and sunsets were perfect. We cooked at the house and ate our meals as a family on the large back deck— the deck feels as if it is floating above the beach; absolutely incredible and worth the trip in and of itself! My youngest son (age 11) enjoyed searching for and watching small crabs on the rocky beach bellow the house during low tide. The ladder is a great feature from the backyard to the beach, it would require close supervision for younger children. The backyard is a steep drop to the beach, young children would need close supervision in the yard as well. We loved this location!! My husband, myself, our four teens/tweens really enjoyed this home and we hope to return to it in early summer when the house may be a bit cooler. The home does not have AC and we reached 80 degrees one of the days during our stay in late June. It would be helpful if the windows facing the water had the ability to open to help with airflow. There is also a wet basement smell in the basement. Even still, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property! We highly recommend sailing lessons with Nat at Orcas Sailing, he is friendly and knowledgeable— he taught our teens to sail and had their full attention for three hours! We enjoyed the views on Mt. Constitution in Moran State Park. Eastsound is a wonderful “downtown” area with charming shops & restaurants! We enjoyed Darvill’s bookstore. There are so many scenic and fun activities to do on Orcas!

Great hideaway location for a couple!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-week stay in December. For one week, my brother joined us. We all loved the view, the quiet, and we loved the king bed in the master. Drawbacks, though: The second bedroom upstairs has a full size bed. A couple would likely not be comfortable for many nights. The lower "bedroom" is actually best described as a fantastic TV room. The set is quite large, with good sound. Loved the ability to watch DISH, Neflix and Amazon Prime (using our personal subscription logins for the latter two). Streaming was great because the wifi runs at about 40 Mbps! Sadly, the cushions on the futon down there were not good at all and were downright painful after 2 hours. Friends who tried sleeping in this futon bed previously said it was VERY uncomfortable. Everyone loved the propane heater upstairs. Due to septic system restrictions, one does have to use care in avoiding the processing of too much water in a day. Would be almost impossible for three couples to shower every day. If it were my place, I would stop describing it as 3 bedrooms, sleeps 6, and go with 2 bedrooms.... and maybe upgrade to a queen in the second bedroom. The dishwasher seems to be on its last legs, sadly. But we LOVED the stovetop, the vent fan, and the refrigerator. We did a lot of cooking! By the end of our stay, the shower drains were extremely slow to drain. Don't get us wrong -- we LOVE this place and plan on returning.

The rental process was very easy and smooth. We had a total of 6 of us who stayed at this wonderful home. The home was beautiful, clean and the views were just amazing. What a great getaway for the weekend. We would definitely recommend staying here to any of our friends.
