About this house rental
*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
Aurora House provides guests with the perfect blend of coziness and spaciousness - an indoor and outdoor retreat set on a waterfront bluff with sprawling views off Orcas Island’s coveted north shore. Sit by the fire in the sizeable living room, with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the excitement of weather, boats, birds, marine mammals, and outer-island escapes. Or spend your days down the relaxing trail right next door where a private beach accessible only to neighborhood residents awaits – this beach is known by the lucky few to be one of the most beautiful and private beaches on the island.
Back at the house, the waterfront hot tub, open kitchen and expansive deck ensure a relaxing getaway in every way possible. Inside, in addition to the first floor living room, this home provides two downstairs bedrooms, one with outside direct deck access and a comfortable queen size bed. The other room has a bunk bed arrangement with a full bed on the bottom and twin on top. These bedrooms share a downstairs bathroom that also serves as the guest bathroom.
A cozy and well-lit family room at the back of the house provides the perfect den for watching movies, soaking up the sun under the solarium-style windows, and getting away from it all with your favorite book. The laundry room is conveniently tucked away in a closet on the first floor near the kitchen.
Speaking of the kitchen, this easy-to-use space has all the amenities to entertain and cook for a large family gathering. Serve your family and friends at the kitchen bar, dining table, or the lounging deck with plentiful furniture that is just steps away from the cooking area.
Upstairs is the master bedroom loft with a queen size bed, master bathroom and more views of neighboring islands and even Canada. The warm, woody feeling throughout this house, coupled with the peace of the surrounding forest and sea, provide ultimate tranquility. Aurora House provides excellent privacy from neighbors and such a gracious environment to enjoy wonderful Orcas Island.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The place is open, great views, wonderful deck. It's a bit out away from towns/markets, so be prepared for that. The upstairs bedrooms are open to below, so you probably can't sleep there until the rest of the house is going to bed. Here's the most amazing thing: The kitchen knives are sharp. Have you ever stayed at a VRBO with sharp knives? I have, now.

The kitchen had all the necessary pots, pans, utensils, and other gear to make cooking and feeding our group easy.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Location! Location! Location!This property offers fantastic views at any time during the day! It's quite a ways off the beaten path, but it does have neighbors. The private beach is amazing. The house is well stocked with pillows, books, a few games, and plenty of fans. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals almost every evening. The hot tub was in great working condition and used every night. The property management company did an outstanding job with communication. All the check-in information was clear and correct. The check-out information was very detailed. I would not hesitate to rent this house again. We had a wonderful experience!
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2022
We were a group of 4 friends celebrating a 60th Birthday.
A very comfortable house. The view is amazing. We really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck.
The house needs to have a deep cleaning.
I would not drive to the house the first night when it is dark and/or raining. Directions were good, but it is a bit of a drive on a dirt/gravel road at the end.
Overall, we have a wonderful time together.
