A great pied-a-terre. The view of West Sound is outstanding. One could sit there all day. For things to do: we enjoyed hiking on Turtleback Mountain preserve. It's a short trip to Eastsound for shopping, restaurants and other outdoor activity. And in the other direction, a short trip to Deer Harbor for restaurants and a lovely walk (mostly level) around the peninsula. Cooking is not an option, and that's just fine!

Stay on Orcas Island

Great stay! Very friendly and helpful hosts. We had E bikes and were able to meet friends at different harbors for boat pick up. The Kingfish Restaurant next door was amazing. The closest places for breakfast or coffee is a 15 min bike ride so something to plan for.

Can’t beat the view!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, the view and accommodation. Perfect for us. Only thing guests should know ahead is that it is on a main road, but it isn’t constant traffic. We adjusted quickly.

Blinds need replacing suggestion use blackout curtains. Never found the switch to turn on the fireplace. Dishes are in a bad state. Need to be replaced overall our time there was great love the balcony and the view. The shower don’t turn on any other water when showering because the water shuts off. Overall accommodations were good probably would not return too difficult to find your way around the island. Very confusing.

Due to all the nice prior reviews, am sure this is a pleasant place when there’s no construction and the weather is cooler. We were only told 5 days prior about the neighbor’s noisy construction that was right outside the back door. We needed the door open due to an unseasonable heat wave. The porch slider had no screen so we had flys too. Trina was a good communicator but didn’t have a solution when we asked if there was another place she could move us to. In the end, we did find another place that didn’t have the view that Trina’s did, but was peaceful and quiet. Paying for 2 places was not what we intended! I would recommend waiting for the construction to be done and to visit during cooler weather.

Very comfortable and met all expectations. Some construction going on in rear, smart tv for evening would have been nice but ok without it. No cookware for stove top but made do. This may have been in description. I would stay again 100% and very much enjoyed the amazing crows nest view and outside patio over looking the little bay off the West Sound. Two thumbs up!

Very comfy as a base to enjoy the island.

The only fault I can’t think of is the curtains for the sliding glass doors do not block out the sun light in the late evening hours. It’s still light at 9:30. That being said, I was so tired. I dropped off on the comfortable bed anyway.

R&R at the Crow's Nest

Thank you for the opportunity to stay at this delightful getaway spot. Loved the room set up, the small kitchenette and the VIEW. Spent time on the deck in between rain showers, coming back in to warm up by the cozy fireplace. I also walked across the street to the community dock and easy access to the beach. What a perfect space to rest and relax!

Orcas Island Gem

We seamlessly booked the stay on VRBO and the property lived up to its billing. Communications with the owners were quickly responded to and we wereoffered early checkin without asking. The property amenities were outstanding and made our stay comfortable. Fantastic view of the water:) Thanks for the experience !
