The host, Larry, was very quick to reply and helpful. The location was close to town but not too close, offering peace and quiet and more of a rural feel. The parking was perfect. More detailed instructions for the fire table, hot tub, and appliances would have been helpful and not required so many questions to ask of the host. Extra bed linens would have been appreciated. Instructions regarding recycling would have been helpful.
Overall, we had a great experience! The spa was wonderful, the kayaks were a highlight, and the fire pit made for relaxing evenings. We didnât use the e-bike, but it was a nice option to have available. A larger life jacket wouldâve been helpful, but we made it work.Be sure to check out the beach access down the road â itâs unmarked and easy to miss, which meant we had it mostly to ourselves. The neighbor next to the path was also very friendly, and it turned out to be one of the best spots to watch the sunrise.The house itself was clean and the kitchen fairly well-stocked. Do note that youâll need to sign a rental agreement outside of VRBO that limits outdoor amenity use between 9:30 PM and 7 AM to keep noise down. There was also a bit of a musty smell in the downstairs area.All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for a peaceful Orcas Island getaway.
It was a perfect location, close to downtown and whale watching. I was celebrating my birthday. The grill, hot tub and puzzles/games were great. The kitchen was well stocked and beds comfortable.
The area in which we stayed was beautiful. The house was clean and ready for us upon arrival. We did not use the bike, kayaks or badminton set but it was nice to the option was available had we stayed longer. The owner was great to work with and quick to respond to any questions
This is an excellent property! Great Location! Clean! Everything as promised! Appreciated the extras like toiletries, laundry detergent, spices, Local coffee, foilâŠEasy and friendly communication.Thanks again
Idyllic setting, well care for house, and excellent amenities. Only 5 minutes to Eastsound and we'll positioned to explore the whole island. Would definitely stay again!
Nice house with easy access to Eastsoumd village. Love having an enclosed yard for my dog. Beach access was tricky for older adults with unsteady feet. I would recommend adding a non slip mat and grab bar in the shower/tub combo.
The host was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. We were allowed a later check-out since no other guests were coming in that day, which was perfect for our schedule. The set-up worked great for us with our adult children along and everyone had space to spread out. It's very centrally located on the island for all the day trips we had planned and we enjoyed having the hot tub to soak in after a day of hiking.
We were pleasantly surprised. Nice cottage, bedding, towels, kitchen and amenities. Very clean. Good WiFi. Close to town. Nice hot shower and hot jacuzzi. Our host Larry was great to deal with.
We loved our stay. The layout is nice and we each had our own bathroom and living area. The kitchen is very well stocked and the beds and furnitire are comfortable. We didn't use the hot tub, but is was in working order. Will stay again.
Incredibly clean and comfortable! We really enjoyed our stay here, the beds (including pull out sofa) were all comfortable, pillows are plentiful and soft. House is very clean, and the kitchen is spacious and fun to cook in! We loved the hot tub and fire pit, we spent most evenings outside enjoying the quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend.
Very cute home to stay in with so many amenities. The host was very fast to respond to our messages and made sure we knew they were available for us if anything came up during our stay. They also had a binder with details on local restaurants that we found to be extremely helpful!
We loved our trip to Orcas Island. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with a pretty beach just a short walk away. The house was exceptionally clean and we appreciated the comfortable beds and soft, absorbent towels. The kitchen was well equipped with extra items such as spices, olive oil and a package of delicious locally roasted coffee.
We made good use of the kayaks on the lovely, calm cove near the home. We also enjoyed the hot tub and playing badminton in the yard. The house is just a few minutes from the town of Eastsound. We enjoyed the cute shops, art galleries and restaurants in town. It's also a short drive to Moran Park where we were able to hike around a lake and visit Mt. Constitution with its fabulous views of the nearby islands.
This place is fantastic. The location and property are perfect. While not on the water, there is public beach access a short stroll away. The host was great about communication and giving us area info prior to our arrival and checked in with us throughout the stay. 5 stars.
This property has everything you need to have a relaxing time on Orcas Island. It was clean, bright, and welcoming. Beds are comfortable and linens are great. Bathrooms are big and have room for your personal items. Kitchen had the basics and also whole bean local Orcas Island coffee and a grinder for the freshest brew! If youâre a cook, bring your own knifes and measuring cups. The location is very close to Eastsound, Rosarioâs, Moran State Park and Mt Constitution. Itâs 20 minutes from the ferry landing. The communication with the host was the best Iâve had with VRBO. I would stay here again.
The stay was perfect! Property was just as listed and was perfect for everyone including our dog and our almost 3 year old! Owner was very informative which made our stay including check in and check out easy and had great activity and restaurant recommendations!
Great last minute spring break trip. Nice to have the hot tub and fire pit under cover so there were rainy day activities. Beach access is really just for smal boats/kayaks. Nice local coffee was a cozy touch.
