We spent one week at this beautiful home which is located in our favorite part of Orcas Island. The home is well furnished, everything you need for spending a week is at your fingertips. The kitchen has everything a cook can wish for. We brought our kayak with cart and rolled it out onto Olga Dock and launched from there. We even tried our hand at setting a crab pot which was also provided. Unfortunately there were only female crabs that went for our bait. The location is perfect, close to Moran State Park where we did some great hikes...Rosario Resort which has upgraded it's restaurant is close by. There was no problem giving this home a five star rating. Alice & Paul Squaw Valley, CA
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children.
