About this house rental

Accommodations: 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, living room, dining room, gourmet kitchen, media room (lite), playrooms/yoga room, sauna, hot tub, decks with views, lots of closets, workshop, garages, outbuildings… (Comfortably sleeps 10, can sleep up to 12.)

This is a fabulous house on a wonderful island in one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the world. It takes about 3 hours (drive and ferry) to get here from Seattle. Or, you can take a small plane from Seattle in about thirty minutes. Have your vacation, get-together, private time, or retreat in this comfortable, accommodating house, located on magnificent, magical Orcas Island. Set on five acres, maximizing distant panoramic vistas while retaining privacy, this house is spacious and welcoming, with captivating, expansive views, mostly north to Canada up the Strait of Georgia. Hang out and relax with friends and family. Watch beautiful sunsets, observe bald eagles and deer, be entertained by hummingbirds, luxuriate in the hot tub while you stare at the stars.

This house has many accommodations and choices. It has been tastefully and carefully furnished (by the owner/designer/architect) with comfort in mind. There is a main staircase and a secondary staircase. The dining room table seats 8-10 (or a friendly 12) and there is a charming, red,-enameled, propane stove/heater in the room. The open plan sweeps from dining to livingroom where there is a cathedral ceiling, large, wood-burning fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the magnificent view. The kitchen is fully equipped with a sub-zero refrigerator, main sink and bar sink (both with disposals), JennAir stovetop, dual convection oven, microwave, blender, waffle-maker, small toaster, coffee maker, and all the utensils and tools you need to prepare lovely meals and snacks. There is a large, walk-in pantry. The private, main suite has a bedroom with a luxuriously comfortable queen-sized bed. The main bathroom has a king-sized bath, glass-enclosed shower, two sinks, and a sauna. The closets in the main suite are the size of an apartment in Manhattan (ok, almost, but one does have a window seat and built-in dresser). The kids have a wing all their own too, with two bedrooms and two twin-sized beds in each. An adjacent sunlit, southwest-facing bathroom -- with shower, huge bathtub, and two sinks -- give kids plenty of space. The media room with sofa, recliner, VCR, and CD players, and large TV monitor (with plenty of CDs but no TV connection), is next to the kid’s bedrooms. The middle guest room has another fabulous, hotel-quality queen-sized bed, and an adjacent bathroom with shower. There are two rooms with another hotel-quality queen-sized bed, and some mattress-sofas, and we are not even sure how to label these two luxurious spaces (bedroom/yoga room? bedroom/ballet room? bedroom/playroom?) Even the laundry room is generous. Throughout the house there are small crawl spaces within closets. The cedar decks stretch the entire northwest side/length of the house. The private hot tub on the deck is surrounded by madronas and evergreen trees but still has peek-a-boo views of Crescent Beach in one direction and Canada in another. There is a teak table and chairs with sun umbrella for fabulous outdoor dining, and lounge chairs for sunbathing.

Walk down the mountain past Crescent Beach to Eastsound Village, about a mile from the house, where you will find shops, restaurants, cafes, book store, and groceries. Take in a summer chamber music concert in town. Come for the renown film festival. Hike or bike on nearby Mount Constitution in Moran State Park or hike the reclaimed Turtle Back Mountain trail. Go kayaking, whale watching, or just wandering. Play games, finish puzzles. (This is a Bananagrams-friendly establishment!) Send your kids to classic Orkilla summer camp and be on the same island, but with some adult time of your own. Even, dare we say, do your work here. Sit at the dining room table, gazing from computer (with high speed connection) to the seemingly infinite view. It is inspirational.

The house is so very sweet that when we are there we always long to stay. It is perfect for family vacations, reunions, friend’s time away, writer’s retreats, or whatever. It is a magical, memorable place. Come, enjoy yourself here.

It was a beautiful home. Close to Moran State Park. Very quiet and relaxing home.

Wonderful property and location, this was our second stay here. There was a unusually large population of yellow jacket wasp on this visit and that limited our use of the backyard area.

Perfect house for our family- lots of room, comfortable with everything you need. Well- supplied kitchen. The view from the deck was amazing and we gathered each night to watch the sunset. Great memories for our family and we will definitely be back!
