Amazing views
We really enjoyed our stay at the Alder House. Kristen was a great host & the kitchen was well stocked. The views from the main level and the top floor were absolutely beautiful - especially during sunset. We would definitely stay here again.
Te house is beautiful with an amazing view of the sunset. We had a wonderful time and would definelty recommend anyone to stay here. House is big and kitchen is equipped with everything you could need. I would definelty go back there if I’m visiting orcas island. Communication with host was also easy and fast.

Perfect house for a weekend away!
We loved our stay at the Alder house - the deck was the perfect place to watch the sunset over the water and enjoy the lovely garden. We really enjoyed being able to walk to town and the beach. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, and everything was very clean. Highly recommend!!
5 stars all round.. would be 500 stars if I had this option. A beautiful house. Clean. Very comfy beds. Stunning views, my word the view from the balcony and main bedroom. Kristen was a very helpful host. 1000% recommend and we would love to return

We really enjoyed our stay! The view from the porch is AMAZING. The rooms were great, everything was clean. It was very quiet too which was relaxing. Deer came to the garden all the days we were there and it wasn’t far from things. The only bummer was the TV was very small and only one bedroom had another TV. But overall, we would stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Close to town and thumbnail of a public beach. Place was ok. “Grill” was quite small and dirty.House is surrounded by older, unkept properties

MaryBeth, thank you for your feedback. I’d like to clarify a few points for future guests.
You reached out twice before your stay—once to adjust your reservation (which I was happy to do immediately) and once with concerns about rain in the forecast. As a fellow PNW resident, you know how much our island needs summer rain, and my detailed guest guide includes many enjoyable rainy-day activities, which I also personally shared with you. For this reason, I was surprised by your 3/5 communication rating.
As for location, the listing clearly states the home is in the North Beach area of Eastsound, a quiet, eclectic, and walkable neighborhood. While I cannot control the tide size of the public beach, nor how neighbors tend their yards, the water and sunset views remain beautiful and unobstructed. Our property itself is well cared for, with a thriving garden, and feedback from other guests reflects that.
Regarding the BBQ, it is seasonal and appropriately sized so it can be stored indoors during the off-season to prevent rust. Had you shared any concerns during your stay, I would have happily addressed them immediately.
While I regret your review didn’t align with the overwhelmingly positive feedback this home typically receives, I appreciate the opportunity to clarify for future guests.
We had a wonderful time at the North Beach Outlook! Plenty of room, loved the deck with ocean views. Beautiful sunsets. Comfortable beds. Prettiest house on the block! Flowers were beautiful. Felt right at home. Close to restaurants and every activity we planned from hiking at Moran State Park to Whale Watching in Rosairo. Loved it and would stay again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure hosting you and I’m delighted to hear your stay was wonderful. I would love to welcome you back anytime!
We loved this property! It’s a quiet neighborhood yet you can still walk to town. Perfect place for our family of 4 adults. The deck has amazing views and nice furniture. The kitchen has everything you may need although we didn’t cook much. The master bedroom is huge and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. Our host was also so responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. Would stay her again!
I told the host we were arriving after dark, and she thoughtfully made sure to have some lights already turned on. The rooms were very clean and the neighborhood was quiet. The living and dining areas comfortably accommodated our party of 5 adults. GREAT deck off the living room with beautiful water views. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. Highly recommended!
