About this property
Orcas Island, Marina View #201
*** PLEASE NOTE: This home is pet friendly but certain breeds are excluded. Only dogs are allowed. Please inquire before booking as to breeds and associated pet fees. Two small approved dogs or one large approved dog only. ***
With spectacular views of Deer Harbor and the Olympic Mountains to the south, this Orcas Island cottage is just steps from the water and offers easy access for beach combing. The gentle surrounding waters are perfect for kayaking, and there is a dock available to launch kayaks and canoes at high tide - or just carry them down the path and set off from your private beach.
Marina View is a spacious one-bedroom guest house, with king bed, a fully equipped kitchen and large living area with vaulted ceiling. Both the living area and dining nook offer south and west views of the water. There is also a twin bed in the living room for an additional guest.
Three and a half acres offers ample room for play and there is a large level lawn that is conducive to croquet or badminton. The guest cottage shares the family's vacation compound, but landscaping provides privacy for both parties if the owner should also be in residence.
Marina View is within walking distance of Deer Harbor Marina, a convenience market and post office. It's a great location, within 20 minutes of the ferry landing and the amenities of Eastsound. It is also a wonderful vantage point for Deer Harbor fireworks if you are the lucky ones to book this cottage over the 4th of July!

The property was amazing. We enjoyed being able to cook out, sit and watch the tide come and go and to just relax. The property itself was beautiful. The Host brought us fresh cut flowers from her garden. The home was very spacious. Everything that we needed for our stay. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

Thank you for choosing Northwest Vacations. We appreciate you staying with us and look forward to hosting you again in the future.
More than a cabin, it's a very comfortable house that seemed to be equipped with everything needed for a stay. It's away from the touristy parts of Orcas, but close enough to take care of what you need. The setting is really beautiful.
Perfect 3 night getaway. Ideal location for launching the kayak and exploring the nearby islands. Perfect kitchen and outdoor grill. Hot tub was the icing on the cake. Couldn't ask for more!
Marina View Cottage is in a great location with beautiful views and spacious surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking for rest and relaxation. The cottage itself is older but everything worked and was well-equipped. The owners were very hospitable and respectful of our privacy.
The property is quiet and perfectly situated. The view is stunning, the house is comfortable, the hot tub is excellent. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking. We couldn't have picked a better place for a long weekend rest and recharge.
Wonderful, private location to unplug and enjoy Orcas Island. The property is beautiful, with direct access to the water and a hot tub with a view. Property manager was helpful. Loved it!

We couldn't agree more glad you had a nice time at the home and on the island we hope you will come for another visit.
Everything about our weekend at the cottage was what we'd hoped for. We are a family of 3 with a 5yo and medium sized dog. Communication with the host / owner was clear, fast, and easy, and they have the cottage dialed in for rentals. We cooked breakfast, watched wildlife, flew a kite, explored the island, soaked in the hot tub, and relaxed by a wood fire at night. We can't wait to go back!

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay very much, and it is the second time we stayed at Marina View. It was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Our dog especially loves the beach access!
A wonderful place to stay. The cottage was extremely clean, had everything you needed in the kitchen, quiet, plenty of room to roam the property especially if you have a dog, and within 20 minutes of the main community on the island. The owners who live in the adjacent home on the property respect your privacy. We got to meet them and found them to be a delightful couple. Additionally they went out of their way to help us get a ferry at a way more convenient time, by getting up at 7 AM on the day of the last release for space and successfully making the booking. You will not be disappointed staying here.
Are stay was wonderful, the peace you feel as soon as you arrive. We stayed 2 weeks. The wild life was wonderful to watch. The only negative is that the furniture in the living room needs to be up dated. Very old and uncomfortable.
We absolutely loved our stay at Marina View! So private, so cozy, so comfortable! We had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves, from complimentary coffee to plush towels and bedding. The hot tub was clean and the perfect temp -- at night, views of the stars and during the day, views of the water! Everything about the rental was functional and clean and communication with the host was simple and easy.My favorite thing about our stay was viewing all the wildlife -- herons, geese, and gulls were daily sightings and on the morning of our departure, a young buck sauntered in front of the cabin as if to wish us goodbye. (The pictures in the listing don't quite capture just how exquisite the surrounding beauty of the cabin is.)Would love to return in the near future!!!

Thank you for your wonderful review we are so pleased you enjoyed this special home with all that it has to offer and we welcome you back any time for another visit to Orcas Island.
This place is very serene. It is stocked well for cooking. The King bed was very comfortable. The only item that I can think of that could be improved is a little more privacy for hot tub use. The hedges stop just short of providing complete privacy, although the owners property is the only house with visibility to the hot tub
This wonderful cozy property is private, gorgeous and perfectly outfitted for my favorite island getaway to date. The Allen family has stocked it with treats and all the things we needed to a tee. The fireplace was a welcome feature, wood and kindling on the ready. The hot tub overlooking the marina and chairs on the bluff were incredible, I will remember this trip for the entire year and hope to return soon. Our pups loved it as well, hiking in Moran State Park on Christmas Day was lovely!

Loved our stay at the property! So quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The glassware needed to be washed, and the bedroom tented towards warm on during warmer weather. We each slept on the couch a night due to the heat in the bedroom. I think the thing that took it down a star was the hot tub that was so chlorinated it was really unpleasant to be in…it was a large part of the “price” in my opinion and it was pretty unbearable and not private. Otherwise I would love to return! Such a lovely humble spot.
