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 I 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 at the feeders 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 5 minutes of driving off the ferry.
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 power, water, graded in the drive and building site, poured the cement and framed the structure, set the windows and doors, roofed and drywalled it.
That's when the hands on part of the job was all mine. I could write a book with all that took place, and the high-lights of my adventure are in the information binder at the house. If you stay at the house, be sure to read it.
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 since I started renting it.
I've spent a lot of time off island this last year, so I've been renting it to vacationers, like you.
I keep a space set aside for myself in the basement part of the house, in case I am on island for house repairs etc. It has a separate entrance and can't be viewed from you parts of the house.
I want you to enjoy this piece of paradise as much as I do.
Thank you for your interest.

Donna: What a fabulous place in heaven you have. Laying on the couch and looking through the sky lite, I am sure I saw angles dancing in the clouds. The weather let up enough for us to enjoy hiking and biking. What a pretty island. And the deer... My favorite part of the trip... with the exception of the bathtub! Thanks-and may you be blessed as much as us in this get-away home! Greg & Gail B.

Thank you for the use of your house this week. It was the perfect place to relax and escape the computer, TV, deadlines and projects of the outside world. We loved the view and the patio, especially with the Fall weather. The sound of the rain on the roof was nice! It was a great base for exploring Orcas - we've discovered the the off season here is the perfect time and place for a Fall vacation. Thanks for everything! P.S. Oh, we can't forget to mention the fabulous bathtub and heated tile floors!

We were here on our annual Fall vacation. In prior years- Switzerland, Vitoria, Outer Banks, Main. This is at the top of our list for diversity of experience. Golf, Hiking, Kayaking and Whale Watching. Your home is lovely with a special feel. We felt at home here, part of the island for a brief time. It was peaceful, beautiful and we LOVED your well equipped kitchen. We drank NW wines and ate seafood, crab, shrimp, halibut, oysters and Chanterelle Mushrooms. Thank you for having us-Our best to you for a peaceful, happy and healthy year.

Thanks for providing all the things we needed for a great week. Although the weather wasn't sunny & clear, we had a great time!! You have furnished this home with just about everything anyone could need. We haven't heard this much "quiet" in a long time: it was restful. We drove just about all the main roads and a lot of the not-so-main ones too. This island is a beautiful part of God's creation.

Staying in your beautiful home you created made for a wonderful anniversary celebration for us. We're already looking forward to our return to the islands.
