Wonderful Orcas

We had a terrific stay here…house was comfortable, hog tub was fun, but the setting and the beach were the highlight? All ages loved it, playing cards on the deck, gathering treasures in the water and walking easily into town.

The most gorgeous place!

We loved our stay. The house is so charming, and very well stocked and well kept. Lots of toys and games for the kids, and tons of pots/pans/utensils in the kitchen. The setting couldn’t be beat. It’s quiet and right on the beach. But you can also walk right into town. One note is that the house (as described) is older and comes with all the quirks of an older home. But windows (screened), hot tub, washer/dryer are all up to date. We would absolutely book again!

PERFECT!

Our trip to Orcas Island centered on our island- resident granddaughter’s wedding, five of us convening from New York and Portland to attend. This house is exquisitely situated a few minute’s walk to town, with water view and private beach. The most thoroughly well-equipped rental house we’ve ever experienced, which made cooking and just generally being there very easy. The layout was perfect for our two resident groupings—my husband & I and our daughter, her partner & his 8 yr old—with many comfy areas in which to gather. As we boarded the ferry 8-year-old Atticus said “I’m gonna miss that house.” We’ll be back again next year.

Peaceful little spot on the water

We really enjoyed our almost-week at this home! It’s a well appointed rental, walking distance to Eastsound with many features to love - it’s right on the water, with its own private beach, fire pit, and outdoor grilling area. A huge lawn for playing games with family. The house has a lovely wrap around porch we hung out on a lot. Our host was gracious with many great recommendations for our stay. The only thing I didn’t realize from the listing is the bedroom config upstairs. 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, but only two doors off hallway to access 4 rooms. The two bedrooms share a bathroom Jack and Jill style and the bunk bed room has to go downstairs for the bathroom in the middle of the night - or walk through the other bedroom to get to the bathroom. Not a big deal, and I probably just missed it in the listing. Overall a great stay, and we would definitely visit again! So peaceful!

Great place to stay with easy access to Orcas Island activities

Perfect for stand up paddle-boarder. Perfect for family who likes to cook and dine in, as you can walk to grocery store, and even to all restaurants if you like. Great beach and sound view. House quiet and well stocked for cooks. Loved sitting on porch watching birds, tides, and hummingbirds. Great location to visit all harbors and hike in moran state park. We loved staying in this perfect spot next to Cresent Beach.

Best rental we’ve ever had!

I don’t really have words. You pull into the driveway and look down at the gorgeous grounds and water and you’re mesmerized. Don’t overplan if you are staying here because you won’t want to leave. Ever. Communication with the owner is phenomenal and the home is incredibly well stocked with anything you’d need and oh so comfortable. It’s just idyllic. We rent a lot of VRBOs all over and this one takes the cake. Just exceptional.

Amazing Farmhouse Vacation

We stayed for 3 weeks in this beautifully maintained property and it was magical. Very clean and well appointed. Big house, big lawn, perfect beach, the hot tub, minutes walk to Eastsound. Trees, birds, deer, seals, kayaking, whale tours, the works! The hosts (Darcy & Terry) went 1000% above and beyond to make us comfortable, networked and content. We hope to come back every year. My son had that magical outdoor summer vacation you dream of. Couldn’t find that anywhere else. As a frequent VRBO renter, easily a top 2 of all we have ever stayed in. So grateful for the experience.

A great find

This is a beautiful property in the perfect location on Orcas. The owners were friendly and communicative. We had a great time as a family exploring the private beaches and relaxing on the ample grounds. We had a bit of a glitch upon arrival with some dead flies that the cleaners didn’t see, but the owners quickly took care of it and there were no other issues. That was a minor issue at the end of the day. If you’re considering booking here, you won’t regret it!

Unbeatable location

We spent two weeks at this property and grew to appreciate it more with each day. The combination of waterfront, with amazing tidelands to explore, and the proximity to Eastsound made it perfect for our little family getaway. Kids felt comfortable walking or riding their bikes to town, as well as just exploring the beach and tidelands. It felt very easy to settle in relax. The owner (Terry) is delightful and we enjoyed hearing about the property and island history from her. One important note in our current work from home environment is that the speed and reliability of the internet is not guaranteed. I found it to be a great excuse to take a break from Zoom.

Enchanting Private Beach for making memories Near Everything

Our Adult family Vacationed here- so many happy and restful hours. The acreage is encircled by ancient madrone and fir...the private beach is a great place to play, hang out, kayak and Swim- East Sound, and Moran State Park were great for us shopping and hiking. Yes, even during COVID.. We enjoyed having 3 different choices of where to dine on the property- We dropped carb pots and maxed out on crab, which is such a treat for us city folk. It’s hard to leave, but we’re taking so many happy and enriching memories of our time here. The pictures are accurate- Terry is friendly and easy to communicate with.

Phenomenal location and property

We are a family of 5 with school aged kids and we had a fabulous time -- quintessential PNW summer vacation. Quaint older home (slightly quirky and funky layout) but that has everything you need -- even though it's only 1.5 baths the shower has plenty of hot water and good water pressure which is all you really need after spending all day outside either on their gorgeous, private (rocky) beach adjacent to Cresent Beach (where you can rent kayaks) or hiking local mountains (all within a 15 minutes drive and some of the best views, you can find a trail of any length or difficulty), or exploring Eastsound which is literally less than a 5 minute walk! Great place to unwind at end of the day with hot tub, fantastic outdoor spaces with BBQ grill, s'mores on the fire at waterside outdoor fire pit. Extra large capacity powerhouse washer and dryer, also critical for any family vacation. Owner lives on the property in a smaller guest house and very helpful.

Perfectly rustic

We had 3 generations staying together in this home for a week. We had plenty of space to enjoy each other and for relaxing. I loved the "beach" for early morning meditations and reading and again in the evenings for family time and bonfires and grilling dinner. I also.loved the daybed on the deck. We had daily visits from deer in the yard. A perfectly rustic and charming place for a very memorable family vacation.

Exactly where you want to be on Orcas Island

This property is lovely with a fantastic location that provides a waterfront experience that is also an easy walk to wonderful Eastsound. Really a perfect spot. The farmhouse is warm, inviting and well equipped. As cooks we appreciated finding everything we needed in the kitchen -- as well as more than ample towels and other supplies. Rooms are nicely furnishes and spacious; the inviting pictures are accurate! The host is practically onsite (a separate house on the property), and she was very generous with great suggestions on how to enjoy the amazing area. We would love to return and have more time -- to further explore Orcas, the other San Juan Islands and take advantage of the fire pit by the water!

Why they chose this property

While located on a private and serene cove with a stellar, the house is approx 20 mins drive from Rosario Resort, and Cascade Lake and only a five minute walk from Eastsound. It's great for families and small children to explore the island while also playing on an expansive lawn, private beaches and tidelands.

What makes this property unique

Private beach, hot tub with a view, beachfront BBQ and a stone fire pit all with the charm of a historical farmhouse and a well equipped kitchen.
