About this property

Heart Of Eastsound, Family & Small-Dog Friendly

Step into The Red Door, where sleek modern design meets effortless comfort. Conveniently located in the heart of Eastsound, this thoughtfully designed island retreat offers summertime outdoor living and everything you need for a day at the beach or a cozy afternoon spent enjoying movies and board games together.

Exploring Eastsound couldn’t be easier. Local chef-inspired cuisine, charming boutiques, groceries, museums, and other village attractions are all within a short, flat walk.

Every detail of the home has been thoughtfully considered for your comfort—from a special welcome gift and fully equipped kitchen to luxurious mattresses, crisp linens, and a 65-inch Smart TV perfect for cozy family movie nights.

Pet-friendly for dogs weighing 20 pounds or less, so your companion can join you on your Orcas Island getaway. Pet fees and rules apply.

This is an ideal retreat for families and friends. Planning a larger gathering? Combine your stay with my neighboring Yellow Door listing to comfortably accommodate up to ten guests, including eight adults and two infants. This arrangement makes it easy to spend time together while still allowing everyone to enjoy their own private space.

An additional point of contact is required for all reservations.

Please note that all cancellations are subject to a non-refundable 3% processing fee.

This is a great place to stay in Eastsound! We were walking distance from everything in town, you can even rent e-bikes directly across the street. The kitchen is well stocked, we loved the local samples, and the place was overall very clean. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay for two nights. The home was very clean, comfortable, and well-organized, with everything we needed. The location is great — right in the center, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafés, which is very convenient. The property manager was easy to communicate with and very responsive, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

A great location to walk all around town. We traveled with our three kids and there was more than enough room for all of us. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the amenities needed. The outdoor seating area was very comfortable. We would stay at this house again in the future.

Great Place

We had a great stay! We were three women visiting the island for the first time. The house was perfect for us. The beds were comfortable, the location was ideal for walking to restaurants and stores, and the kitchen was very well equipped and stocked. We enjoyed spending time on the patio, and we appreciated the variety of books and games available. Kristen was a very responsive host. We really enjoyed the welcome gift. The only thing that might have improved the stay was if the bedroom blinds were black-out blinds. With the long days in July, it took a little getting used to the bedrooms being light so early in the morning. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely stay here again!

Everything we could ask for and more!

We had a fantastic stay at Kristen’s place this past weekend. Kristen was a wonderful hostess, quick to communicate and very responsive throughout our time there, which made everything smooth and easy.We arrived late at night and had no trouble getting into the house. One small note is that Google Maps initially took us to the opposite side of the alley, which caused a bit of confusion, but once we found the correct street, everything was straightforward from there.The home itself was beautifully appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were cozy, the beds incredibly comfortable, and the bathrooms were fully stocked with thoughtful toiletries. The kitchen was especially well-equipped, with more appliances than we expected and a great selection of spices and oils, which was helpful in case we forgot anything.The location in Eastsound is ideal, within walking distance of the main strip. We walked to the farmers market, did a little shopping, and wandered down to the water before heading out for the day.Overall, a lovely and restful getaway. My mom and mother-in-law truly appreciated the early Mother’s Day trip. Thank you again, Kristen, for making it such a welcoming and easy stay.
