Great loft apartment right on the water

We loved our stay at Sea Star lofts! We wanted to be right in town within walking distance and this was exactly what we needed. The loft is small, but the kitchen was well stocked, including a cooktop, pots, pans, and spices. The hosts even provided both regular and decaf coffee, and creamer in the fridge! Some reviews mentioned the restaurant next door being loud, but we didn't find it an issue at all. The evenings on the patio watching the sun go down were absolutely beautiful. The two upstairs lofts do share a balcony with just a half wall between, so if you are looking for a more private balcony the downstairs unit might be a better fit since it has the full width balcony. Thank you Wally and Susan for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Gudgell

Host profile image
We have been on Orcas Island for many decades (in fact Wally grew up here!), so know the island well. We can suggest not only popular travel adventures, but little know gems on island backroads.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property for love of the historic Porter Building, located next door. For years this portion was vacant, occupied by a parking lot and dumpsters. We dreamed of beautifying the shoreline, dedicating a beach access to the public and building stairs to the water. At last we've completed our vision with the 'Main Street Station.' SeaStar Lofts allows us to welcome travelers to our favorite place in the world.

What makes this property unique

We provide a complete living experience, with kitchens, washer/dryers, and everything you need for either a short visit or extended stay. Every convenience is just steps away, yet turn toward the water and the town melts away as you enjoy beautiful views, sounds of the surf and abundant wildlife.
