Map & Owner's Profile
Take the Long View of Cascades Mountains & Ocean / Delongview
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Eastsound
This Island offered the clean air and lush green landscape that has always been important to my comfort in a place. I need tall trees, natural settings, wild animals and birds as part of my daily life. The ocean being near-by and viewable daily, around nearly every corner I turn or hill I drive over, is a blessing I don't take for-granted. The views of the awesome mountains were a plus, and now I can't think of life without them to gaze at.
The fact that there are no traffic jambs or stop lights have to be listed as a plus too.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The peace and serenity you feel sitting on the patio with the sight of the Cascade Mountains and the Georgia Strait right there. Flowers blooming all around and birds to watch as their songs fill the air. The quiet of living on a 3 acre piece of paradise, on a private road, with no through traffic or city noises. Not another house in sight.
If the weather is overcast or if it has snowed and all is covered, it still feels bright in the Great Room, due to the huge ski-lite over the peak of the roof. The heated slate floors with rich, bold colors feel warm to my bare feet in the winter, and cool when I take feet out of my hot shoes in the summer.
So many things like this are what makes my home special to me, and to you too if you want.
Owner's Map of Eastsound
I found Orcas Island,WA. in 1990. I had never been to Washington State, let alone the San Juan Islands. I knew I had found home with in 15 minutes of driving off the ferry. This place feeds my artistic spirit and creative side.
I have worked toward my goal of buying property on Orcas Island and building my own place since then.
I started building in 2003. I was my own General Manager of this project. The professionals put in the parts that are controlled by building requirements to met code, like power, water, framing the house, etc.
After that is when the hands on part of the job was all mine. I put in all the slate flooring, wood trim, siding, painting, cupboards, sinks, tubs, slate shower hall, stone patio, etc. I could write a book with all that took place.
The house turned out lovely, if I do say so myself, and you can't beat the views.
I have not had one negative piece of feed-back about the house since I started renting it.
I want you to enjoy this piece of paradise as much as I do.
Thank you for your interest.

This was exactly what I needed for a weekend by myself. Just far enough from town to be completely peaceful, but not so far that I couldn't pop into town for a bite to eat or to pick up supplies. The place was neat, clean and inviting. The heated floors made the space feel cozy. Super comfortable king-sized bed, large jetted soaking tub, and absolutely spectacular views. I will absolutely go and stay here again, and will tell others to do the same.

This was our 6th summer renting on Orcas. Your home was the most private and peaceful of any we've rented. The house layout was perfect for us, we enjoyed the scenic patio with your lovely plants and flowers, the well equipped kitchen and comfortable king bed. Since we were there for 5 weeks we liked having "his and her" desks in the master and guest rooms and the WiFi. Also got our deposit back in two business days. Thanks again, Donna. Nancy & Randy

Exceptionally clean and well-maintained, yet it felt like our lovely vacation home. The many unique birds, hummingbirds, and butterflies were the exciting entertainment, along with grazing deer, and an awesome view off the lovely patio. To cap off the evening there's a wonderful fire pit and an awesome sound system -- just add the bottle of vino!! We are going to try to return on a regular basis -- it's a GREAT value for what you derive from it! Kudos to Delongview!!!

Donna, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely home. It is so bright and cheerful, and the kitchen was a delight to use. Thanks for bringing us extra firewood: those evenings in front of the firepit watching the moon rise over the ocean were enchanting. Thanks, too, for the occasional "dog fix"! We also appreciate the quick deposit refund.

What an amazing stay we had at Delongview on Orcas Island. The house was just what we needed to unwind. The spacious kitchen was perfect for our culinary endeavours. The bedroom and bathroom suited us well. We all were so happy and pleased with all the details. From the fire pit to the hummingbirds, this place is just what one would want in a vacation. Not to mention the beauty of the island. For our small family gathering it was ideal. Thanks for sharing your home and know that we will pass on the recommendation to our friends/family. Thanks, Allison Leah Duncan
