Escape to this one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat on Orcas Island, located just steps from the ferry landing and Orcas Village. Tucked behind a fully fenced property, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, convenience, and stunning water views—all within moments of arrival.

Perched above the shoreline, the home captures beautiful views of the water and surrounding islands. Watching the ferries come and go is an incredible part of the experience, offering a uniquely Pacific Northwest backdrop throughout the day. Despite its proximity to the ferry landing, the property feels quiet, private, and tucked away once inside the gates.

About the host

Hosted by Dillon Betts

Host profile image
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.
