About Susan Gudgell
We have been on Orcas Island for many decades (in fact Wally grew up here!), so are long-time locals. We can suggest not only the most popular travel adventures, but will also share little know gems on island backroads.
Susan Gudgell purchased this Condo in 1990
Why Susan Gudgell chose Eastsound
We purchased this property for love of the historic Porter Building, located next door. For years this portion was vacant, occupied by a parking lot and dumpsters. We dreamed of beautifying the shoreline, dedicating a beach access to the public and building stairs to the water. At last we've completed our vision, completing the 'Main Street Station.' SeaStar Lofts fulfills our dream of welcoming others to our favorite place in the world. We've tried to supply our guests with all we personally look for in fine travel accommodations.
What makes this Condo unique
As we mention above, these are the only accommodations located on the actual shore in Eastsound Village. We provide a full living experience, with kitchens, washer/dryers, and everything you need for either a short visit or extended stay. Every convenience is just steps away, yet you can access the beach right next to the building to enjoy the beautiful views and abundant wildlife.

Convenient location for touring all over the island
Modern with fully equipped and stocked kitchenette. Plenty of room to move around. Bathroom had nice towels etc. ceiling fan kept us cool. Gas fireplace was cool for evenings in, though we were plenty warm without it. Lots of clear easy to understand directions/instructions for everything in the apartment.
Great location to enjoy Eastsound
Centrally located on Orcas island and can walk to most shops and restaurants in Eastsound. Parking lot was right around the corner. The unit was clean, bright, beautifully decorated and more spacious than I anticipated. There were no dresser drawers, but 2 luggage racks were provided and a closet for hanging clothes. Loved all the windows! The bathroom was roomy, bright, clean and had the most plush towels I've ever used! We so appreciated the washer/dryer in the common area- shared with 2 other units. Detergent was provided. The only slight inconvenience was the very small refrigerator. It was difficult to store all our drinks and snacks. We could not really store anything in the small freezer space, which needed defrosting. If you plan accordingly, it should not be a problem. Overall, extremely comfortable to relax after a day of hiking on the many beautiful trails on Orcas island. Would definitely recommend!
Cozy studio in the heart of orcas island
We had a fantastic stay at this clean and spacious studio. One of the great things about is you don't have to find someone to check in or get a key from. There's a keypad and the owner left the code at the front door. The beach is 30 feet away, restaurants are no more than two blocks away, and there are a ton of hiking trails nearby. I wish I would have been able to stay longer.
The room is well appointed and very comfortable.
Great room! Wonderful, special amenities to make the room very comfortable.
Only need a gentle heads-up that the trash pickup in the morning is under your room and loud.
Perfect escape from the world for a girls’ weekend!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here. It is the perfect location in town and is light and open inside. Big bathroom, functional kitchen, lots of space and a wonderful quiet space to escape. Love it.
Girls weekend
Three of us came to enjoy a fun weekend and run a race. This was the perfect hub for being able to walk to all of the restaurants and shops. We loved it and will be back next year.
