About this property

Water View, Impeccable Studio Cottage overlooking East Sound, Walk to Town, Close to Everything!

With beautiful views of the Salish Sea, our charming cottage is perfect for a solo retreat or a couple's getaway. Just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and a waterfront park, you can enjoy the convenience of town while waking each morning to sunrises from the deck, or the comfy queen-size bed in this perfectly designed studio.
Our studio cottage features:
☀️ All-new appliances
☀️ Quartz countertops
☀️ Custom-tiled bathroom
☀️ Luxury linens and amenities

Your island escape is ready for you ✨

Though we enjoy meeting our guests in person, we offer a contactless checkin with a keypad code for the front door. Please reach out with any questions or concerns. We are available each day during normal business hours of 8 am- 6 pm, and 24/7 for emergencies.

Perched on a hillside overlooking Eastsound, our charming cottage offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.

🌊 Scenic Setting – Enjoy picturesque water views, tall trees, and a friendly neighborhood.
🏡 Best of Both Worlds – An “in-town” feel with a peaceful, rural atmosphere.
🚗 Convenient Location – The main road below provides easy access to town, with some traffic noise during peak seasons.

A charming island escape, just minutes from shops, dining, and outdoor adventures!

Distance from popular spots:
📍Orcas Island Ferry Terminal - 8.6 miles or 16-min drive
📍Eastsound - 0.6 miles or 3-min drive
📍Moran State Park - 4.7 miles or 9-min drive
📍Island Market - 0.6 miles or 3-min drive
📍Turtleback Preserve - 3.2 miles or 7-min drive

We highly recommend bringing your own vehicle or renting a car once you arrive via ferry. While Orcas Island is walkable in some areas, many of the island’s most scenic spots—like Moran State Park, Cascade Lake, and Turtleback Mountain—are best reached by car.

Car Rental Options:

Orcas Island Shuttle and Rental Car
📍 Located near the ferry landing
Orcas Island Car Rentals
📍 Eastsound area
M&W Car Rental
📍 Eastsound area (based on San Juan Island but offer cars on Orcas Island)

Additional Tip: Be sure to book your rental in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, as availability can be limited on the island.

We say our cottage is impeccable because in only 300 sq ft you have all you need in a spacious and elegant interior. Designed and renovated by an amazing local boat builder, every space was consciously created.

Our cottage kitchen is the shining example of how to blend efficiency and functionality. Featuring a full-sized electric Avanti stovetop and oven with a microwave mounted above, and a large stainless steel, modern sink, you can effortlessly make any meal. We've hosted guests for Thanksgiving that boasted how they did a full course meal with ease!
You’ll find plenty of kitchen gadgets, including a blender, hand mixer, cookware, and bakeware to create your favorite meals. Enjoy our coffee bar stocked with Pete's coffee, teas, stevia, sugar, and creamer, along with both a drip coffeemaker and French press, and a coffee grinder. We even have spices and oil in the cabinets! Plus, there’s a full-sized refrigerator with a freezer, and a stackable Blomberg washer and dryer—just note that there’s no dishwasher, so hand washing is required.

In the living room, relax on the comfy loveseat or swivel chair while enjoying views through the French doors to the deck and water beyond. Curl up with a throw blanket to stream your favorite movies on the Smart TV or play some board games. The sofa also has a pull-out twin bed with linens for an extra guest.

The queen bed is tucked into its own private nook, featuring a sturdy Captain's bed frame for extra storage and a small closet for hanging clothes. We even provide a small iron and board!

The custom-tiled bathroom offers a large shower and vanity with all the amenities you need, plus plenty of towels.

Outside, enjoy dining alfresco at the bistro table and chairs, and fire up the gas BBQ—we provide a full tank and tools, so just bring your secret sauce recipe! 🍔

With fast, reliable WiFi speeds up to 50 Mbps, this is a fantastic 'work-cation' cottage for digital nomads!

Come dream with us at Wild Currant Cottage! 🌿✨

Great cottage in perfect location to explore Orcas Island

We loved our stay in the Eastsound cottage. It was close enough to walk into town and centrally located for exploring the island. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We particularly enjoyed the deck to watch beautiful moonrise.

Great Cabin for Couples Retreat

Wild Currant Cottage makes for a great home base from which to explore all the San Juan Islands has to offer. The cabin is well equipped, clean, and comfortable, with an easy walk to town and a short drive to parks, beaches, and hiking trails. The only downside is the traffic noise which is not an issue at night and not enough of an annoyance to keep us from booking again.

Nice cottage with a great view

We had a great stay at Wild Currant and the host is very communicative and was great. The cottage has a nice view and is well maintained. It is right on the edge of Eastsound and was a perfect home base for exploring the island. We hope to stay in Wild Currant again on the future.

Amazing views from the deck and bed at this property! Would recommend for only two people as the space is quite small. Walking distance to Eastsound made it worthwhile.

Beautiful stay on Orcas

We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was clean and beautiful and easy walking distance to the main part of Eastsound. It was a great getaway while being right off the main road. We loved the space and was perfect to be able to cook, read outside, and explore Orcas. Sherri was responsive and super helpful. Thank you!

More amazing than the photos

The photos posted don’t do the place justice. The view is amazing. I was worried because it’s close to a main road (though the road means you’re two minutes from shops and food), but the trees mostly block the sound. Also the house is extraordinarily sound proof. The binder of info is helpful! One suggestion would be to leave it out so it’s easier to find.Great space and hope to return!

Nice, neat, small place

Very clean, comfortable, centrally located accom. Nice view of East Sound. Close to town (walkable). Good for 2 people. Gets noisy when day gets busy (cars, trucks, aircraft) but, you are close to things. Good value for $$.

Orcas

We were totally pleased with the property. Great view, great location, all amenities provided. Beware that most restaurants are closed on weekdays so you may be cooking, but the kitchen overlooks the inlet so cooking was lovely and you have everything needed to make a meal. Orcas is hands down the best San Juan Island for scenery, hiking and relaxation.
