The studio was a fine home base for our Orcas Island adventures. “Beach Access” is somewhat misleading, although the view is nice. Could use some updating and would appreciate the dishes checked for cleanliness. Fly strips in the loft should be removed or replaced. They worked as we did not have a problem with insects but were a bit unsightly.
