Charming west-facing beach house - sandy beach near Eastsound

Very comfortable house for a group of 6-8. Excellent kitchen. Lots of places to hang out. Gorgeous view and nice lawn from which to contemplate it.

This place was awesome! Just what we are always looking for, a house and property on the water, with plenty of room indoors and out, and a roomy and well-equipped kitchen with a big walk-in pantry area. It is an older house, but has been expanded and updated over time. Felt very comfortable, but most important, it had that old Orcas feeling (my family has been coming to the island since the 60's). Great west-facing location and large outdoor area (both patio and lawn) to hang out and watch sunsets. We ate meals outside on the large table pretty much every evening. Plus, more room to spread out on the other side of the house, with lawns, hammock, garden, etc. Flowers everywhere... Daily sightings of seal, otter, bald eagle, blue heron, kingfisher, etc. You know, the usual Orcas thing! The West Beach marina is down the beach not too far, and there is plenty of summer activity there. But this property feels very private and peaceful. The house works great for 4 couples, with more room to expand (additional bunk house with a few beds is also available). We have rented a lot of different houses on Orcas, and this is by far the best one -- we already have plans to return next year!

Wonderful stay ! Very clean ! Very communicative host! Pictures don’t describe how great it is !! We will be back ! Thanks Donna

The house and grounds are amazing! An older very well kept up house with a view that can not be matched. I would absolutely stay here again. The only difficulty was getting the boat trailer to the house. The driveway is a dirt/gravel road that is best for midsize cars/SUVs. My truck/boat trailer were difficult to get in/out with the tight driveway and low hanging branches.
