About this property

Luxury Waterfront Estate, Hot Tub, Mooring, Gated Privacy, Multi-Family

Enjoy the ultimate in privacy and relaxation in this exceptional waterfront home. Located on an exclusive harbor with five wooded acres of towering trees and private gardens. Grindstone Harbor House is a perfect retreat for multi-generational families and special occasions with friends. The gated gardens and lawn elevate the fantastic views from the infinity deck with a hot tub and easy outdoor living. We hope to provide your family with a lifetime of memories together.

From the expansive infinity deck with outdoor living and a four-person spa, enjoy views of the ferries, distant islands, and a cove teaming with eagles, herons, otters, seals, and deer. You can play and paddle right out your door with a rocky outcropping and fire pit overlooking the harbor.

On the main floor of this beautiful home is a chef's gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, a kitchen island with seating for six, new cabinetry, and a wide variety of cookware, serveware, glassware, appliances, spices, a coffee bar, and two refrigerators with freezers. There are two wall ovens and a large electric cooktop. It's the perfect gathering spot for all the chefs to participate in preparing meals while enjoying the forest and water views and sharing stories of the day's adventures. The dining room is open to the kitchen with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, connecting you to the natural wonders.

The large living room offers plenty of seating for visiting, reading, games, puzzles, or TV. The sun-drenched window seat is a favorite spot, perfect for watching eagle, osprey, and kingfisher activity. With a hand-built stone fireplace in the heart of the living room, there is ambiance and warmth in this comfortable gathering space.

Head up the spiral stairs to discover three bedrooms and two full baths. The expansive Master Bedroom features a king bed and a private balcony. There is seating outside for the early morning tea and contemplation of what a fantastic place you are in. Back indoors, a daybed can be used as additional sleeping space for large parties. The large Master Bath ensuite has two white marble vanities, a custom-tiled shower, and a large slipper tub for the ultimate relaxation and self-care.


There is a large laundry room with a new Samsung washer and dryer, an extra refrigerator with a freezer, pantry storage, and cleaning tools to tidy up during those extended stays.

The east-facing bedroom has a king bed, two twin beds, and a child’s bed tucked away in a tiny nook. In contrast, the west-facing bedroom has a queen bed. Both guest bedrooms share the upstairs full bathroom with a shower/tub combo, custom tiles, and a white marble vanity. There is a third full bathroom on the main level of the house (just down the spiral stairs and into the guest bathroom, where a custom-tiled shower and vanity await). All three bathrooms are newly remodeled with a bright, contemporary style. The fourth bedroom offers water views with heated flooring, a king bed and custom bunk beds.

Explore this private waterfront property with miles of empty country roads ideal for walking, running, or bicycling. Nearby are the ferries, bicycle and kayak rentals, stores, and restaurants.

Orcas Island is the gem of the San Juan Islands, located in Washington State. It contains Moran State Park with 2000 ft. elevation Mt. Constitution, thirty miles of hiking and biking trails and five freshwater lakes; extensive yachting facilities at Westsound and Deer Harbor; access by scheduled or private air service or floatplane; ferry service to the other San Juan Islands and the U.S. mainland at Anacortes, and Amtrak service to Mt. Vernon; excellent restaurants, food, wine, and gift shops, galleries and artist studios, summer markets, a lovely library, and small historical museum, and a full schedule of summer activities and community theater. There is an interactive children's museum and a nationally acclaimed skateboard park. Four well-established children's summer camps are on the island or immediately adjacent. Enjoy the ultimate in seclusion and relaxation yet with all the amenities close by on this magical island.

Peace and Tranquillity
The views are absolutely gorgeous. The home is beautifully updated except for the stained dirty carpet! Perhaps that’s in the future plans? The deck and outdoor space are perfect to relax and enjoy the scenery. Overall, it’s a lovely home in a gorgeous setting. FYI, the ice maker is not connected so pick up a bag of ice.

About the host

Hosted by Sherri Pierson, Orcas Home Management LLC

Host profile image
As your host, I've been a full-time islander for twenty years and love living on this exceptional island. My draw to the island is the close-knit community with a farmer's market, art and music, and the best outdoor fun! Moran State Park, with miles of trails and lakes to paddle on, is my favorite activity when not hosting guests. Offering local suggestions and guidance for making the most of a remote island trip excites my job and, hopefully, enriches your journey.

Why they chose this property

Our family was on what we thought would be the first of many trips to look at properties on Orcas but we all fell in love immediately with this house, these woods and this view! It offers everything we were looking for in a vacation rental as well as being the perfect place for us to gather with our family and friends for many years to come.

What makes this property unique

Being both on the water and in the woods feels extraordinary! There is no end to outdoor experiences to enjoy, from hikes in the woods to collecting shells or driftwood on the beach, kayaking, boating, and catching crab for dinner. Indoors there are cozy nooks for reading or puzzle making or playing games, The huge kitchen allows our whole gang to gather to make meals together. And the quiet, starry nights make for good sleeping!
