About this property
Dog friendly hideout next door to Doe Bay Resort on Washington's Orcas Island
Nestled in the quiet community of Doe Bay lies a charming craftsman 2bd, 2ba cottage you can effortlessly retreat into. The tasteful updating is done with propane fireplace, new king sized REM bed with adjustable base in the master bedroom, one side of the bed has a softer mattress while the other side is firm-take your pick. All brand new living room furniture, tasteful decorating , cozy dining area with bench seats and surround windows and the spacious master bedroom has vaulted ceilings displaying vintage SE Asian oars. Andrew Gath design of Seattle helped us with the interior, it is warm. comfortable and classic. Enjoy dining or morning coffee on the New large south facing deck with beautiful water views. High speed internet and Rocu Direct TV in both bedrooms. Wake up to a sunrise over the Salish Sea. Your Island home is part of a small close knit "homestead" community-originally a fishing camp at the turn of the century. Their are 3 full time neighbors and 3 ocassional weekenders-thus are home is more of place to go to savor the peace of the Islands. If having a good ole fashioned whoopee party on the deck until midnight is your idea of a vacation (and who doesn't like that occasionally) than this location is probably not for you. Sound carries and this home has neighbors. I have mult bird feeders around the yard and when one gets quite and still, birds of all sorts will fly right up to you, along with our resident Doug Fir squirrels, Island deer and raccoon although we ask that you not feed the deer or raccoons. River Otters frequently swim by the house! We now ALLOW one small fur baby. The dog must be no greater than 15lbs. The dog is not allowed in the backyard garden and is not allowed to run freely in the neighborhood. The dog is not allowed on the furniture (unless it’s on the deck) or bed. Strongly recommend getting the extra insurance when bringing a dog.

About the host
Hosted by Kim and Robert
Kim was a K-1 teacher and Rob was an RN, we both love adventure, traveling the world, great food, gardening, mountains and the ocean. We have lived in Australia teaching and nursing, biked across Cambodia into Vietnam and hiked the jungles of Costa Rica and Mexico. Traveling the Inside passage on our Aspen C100 power catamaran is on our bucket list.
Why they chose this property
It's always been our dream to own a home in the San Juan Islands. This little cottage has history, was built in the mid 40's, has a Native American burial ground near our backyard. We’re right next door to Doe Bay resort and Spa. They have open 🎤 mic every Thursday along with farm to table organic dinner and breakfast.
What makes this property unique
View View View The front of our home is lined with BIG windows show casing the Salish Sea, neighboring Islands, Ferry traffic, Rosario Straight and the never ending wildlife. Orcas Is is listed as one of the 100 places to see before you die book. Orcas swim right next to the rocks right in front of the house!!! and a family of River Otter live near by. Moran St Park hiking and Mt Biking is a 1/2 mile walk from our home. We love being next door to Doe Bay resort with their little grocery store, restaurant, Spa and music in the summer months. Kayak rentals is a 5 min walk from our home. Whale watching tours leave daily from Orcas Island, and the Orcas have been seen right in front of our home on many occasions as are the resident river otters and the occasional Grey whale. This home is so cozy, the contractors spared no expense and are gifted in detailing wood trim, island Fir counter tops, lighting, rugged dark wood plank flooring and the beach vibe shiplap ceilings were repurposed from a shipping crate. The cathedral ceilings in the master bedroom are the perfect backdrop to our SouthEast Asian antique oar collection. Walking into this home has a very calming affect that exudes warmth. My bird feeders are always full and attract local and migratory birds of all sizes. I have quality binoculars and a spotting scope on tripod to bring all creatures in close, along with laminated ID cards that describes what your looking at.
