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.

Great location, light and restful space. Very comfortable.
We stayed 3 nights with our 2 kids and dog, and it was so nice to be able to walk to everything in town, and have a very comfortable and well-equipped place to come back to. The grocery store nearby was a real plus when traveling with kids.
Great place to stay in Eastsound!
We found Spinnaker Studio to be a fabulous place to stay in Eastsound. We flew to Orcas Island and walked on the public path to the studio which is in the center of town. We found it to be super clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we were looking for, even coffee! We did not have any problems with noise. While it is right in the center of town, we were not bothered by people or cars/trucks. We highly recommend Spinnaker Studio and look forward to coming back.
Wonderful location!
It was perfect for three women on a mini vacation. We found the place clean, comfortable, and having absolutely everything we needed and more. Awesome location in a very safe neighborhood.
Wonderful location!
Perfectly situated. Loved out stay!
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!
