Make this island gem your Orcas destination! Impeccably restored in 2021, the Homestead combines the best of the past with every modern amenity.

Equally appealing as a romantic get-away or gathering of family and friends, this is the perfect sanctuary from which to launch your island explorations. There’s plenty of room to spread out, with a central great room (kitchen/dining/living room), large deck, slate patio, hot tub and outdoor gazebo with fire pit. Bedrooms include king bed on the main floor, three queen beds upstairs, and two twin daybeds as well. Primary bedroom overlooks the gorgeous view through twin dormers. Fully equipped gourmet kitchen, three flatscreen TV's, high speed internet, gas barbecue, and several desk areas for keeping up on your computer work. In the evenings enjoy a drink in the sea-born breeze, listen to waves on the shore below, and watch the abundant wildlife around Indian Island.
Orcas Island is called one of the most charming travel destinations in America. You can stroll to the Farmer's Market, enjoy a meal in one of Eastsound's world-class restaurants, and get delicious take-out items to share at home. A bookstore and lattes are just around the corner, bakery across the street and whale watch tours and/or kayak rentals can be arranged nearby. Island Market has all of your grocery needs just two blocks away. The stunning views include the bay, picturesque Eastsound Village, and island sunsets. Located only eight miles from the ferry landing and ten miles from majestic Moran State Park and Mt. Constitution, this is an ideal location for your vacation get-away! (SJC Permit #PPROV0-11-0009)

About the host
Hosted by Susan Gudgell
We are long-time islanders, having been on Orcas Island for 40+ years (in fact Wally grew up here). We can suggest not only major travel activities, but little known gems on island backroads. We are devoted to our special community, and sensitive to the delicate and beautiful ecosystem of the San Juans. We love to share it with visitors and ask that you treat it with good care.
Why they chose this property
We have always loved this house as an intrinsic architectural element on the Eastsound shoreline. It appears in some of the oldest photos of the town. We feel honored to have had the opportunity to give it renewed life for another hundred years.
What makes this property unique
Sipping coffee or a glass of wine on the deck, breathing in that clear island air, and contemplating the view! We also love wandering around the village, hiking in the Turtleback Mountain Reserve, and exploring Moran State Park. We know many of the restauranteurs in town and love the many delicious varied options for an evening out.
