About the host
Hosted by Dillon Betts
I'm a longtime Orcas Island local who loves the rhythm of island life — the quiet mornings, the ferry boats passing by, and the endless places to explore. When I’m not working with guests or tending to our properties, you can usually find me out on the water in my C-Dory, exploring the islands with my family, or hiking the trails around Moran State Park.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it’s truly one of the most special corners of Orcas Island. There’s a peaceful charm here that’s hard to find anywhere else—quiet mornings on the water, stunning sunsets over the islands, friendly neighbors, and a slower, more relaxed pace of life that instantly makes you feel at ease.
This area has this unique blend of natural beauty and small-harbor character. You can watch ferries coming and going, spot wildlife right from the shoreline, walk down to the Village store or Orcas Hotel.
Hosting here allows us to share a place we genuinely love—a place that captures everything magical about the islands. Whether guests come for adventure, quiet relaxation, or a little bit of both, Waveside offers an experience that feels peaceful, authentic, and deeply memorable.
