We only stayed one night but loved staying here. We both had the same reaction as soon as we walked in, “Wow! This is so nice!” It was a lovely spot for our night there. Plus the location is amazing. If you want to be right near all the shops and restaurants in Eastsound, this is the place for you!

Perfect location and so clean!

Perfect Location on the island. Lots of places to walk to and very central to drive to all parts of the island. Very clean and well decorated. Had everything we needed for a short stay. Love the information given with recommendations for places to eat and things to do. We would stay here again !

The studio was light and airy. I loved the blend of modern design with traditional, cozy quilts. The property was conveniently located in the middle of Orcas so it was easy to get to Moran State Park or Turtleback and Deer Harbor. As the loft was located in downtown Eastsound it was an easy walk to restaurants, galleries and other shopping and the sound behind the property. 5 star in every respect

Eastsound, Orcas Island

Excellent location! Room included everything we needed, fully stocked kitchenette, duo garbage/recycling can, decent shower head and load/unload parking at the door, with plenty of free parking a short block away.The room is located over a very cool art studio, Forest Ceramic. Spoke to the owner, from Bulgaria, ended up buying several pieces, to remember our trip to Orcas Island. The weather app threatened rain, but the sun was out both Saturday & Sunday!

Fabulous Unit

Bright and cheerful, well-equipped kitchen, comfy bed, huge TV, large soaker tub in deluxe bathroom. Enjoyed the bustle and people-watching on Main Street. (As advertised, there is noise from the street.) We were blown away by the amazing parks: Moran and Turtleback.

Outstanding

The studio is spacious, full of light, has great interior design, and very friendly service. Just perfect! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. We wish we will get a unit with a view. The location is in the center of the village on the see shore. Please take the following into consideration: this studio is good for getting away from everything, because the cell phone connection is very weak, and wi-fi was useless as best. Please don't plan to work from the island, only rest and relax.

The Spinnaker Studio was super clean and *perfectly* located. It was so fun to be within walking distance of everything in town. All of the amenities were provided and it was tastefully decorated. Our only complaint was that the bed was SO soft. It had no support and was like sleeping in Jell-O or quicksand. It's a lovely, inviting place but beware if you have back issues.

Pretty slick looking unit but, being on the main street it's pretty noisy until fairly late. Up a long flight of stairs, no grab bars in shower enclosure, and worst of all, parking is a block away with a 10- minute loading zone. If you're elderly, like me, or in any way even slightly disabled, forget about it.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Gudgell

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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 property 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.
