We appreciate her flexibility allowing us to check in early on our first day.The house is always in excellent condition and generously stocked with everything you need.

Family getaway

Beautiful home, perfect views and room for everyone! This home has it all. The kids loved having the ping pong table, and all the games. One thing we would have loved was easier beach access, lots of big rocks. But you can walk down the street to get beach access easy! Thank you for a wonderful stay! We will be back!

September Stay

The Eastsound residence was absolutely beautiful, offering stunning views that we thoroughly enjoyed throughout our stay. The attention to detail in the house was impressive, from the fresh flowers on the table to the binoculars thoughtfully provided for watching wildlife in the water. The location was perfect, and we had more than enough space to relax comfortably. We highly recommend this place and would love to visit again!

Our Favorite Place

This was our second stay at The Nest, and our fifth trip to Orcas. We were four couples - all seniors. Everyone LOVED the house, especially the large back deck where we enjoyed many meals. Kitchen was well stocked, and the grocery store was a five minute drive. Bedrooms are large and comfortable. This location is excellent - centrally located on the island and near Eastsound. Beautiful house with spectacular waterfront views!

The house was beautiful, comfortable and well suited to our group of 8, including 2 preschoolers. They even had a high chair and porta crib for the littlest one. Kitchen had everything we needed. It was peaceful and relaxing. Would love to stay here again.

Our family vacation on Orcas Island 6/7-6/14/2024

The OMG experience of our arrival looking out over the water; the magnificence of the home with extraordinary views out every window; the comfort & cleanliness; reading books from the stuffed bookshelves, especially the kids section; the secret room; the ping pong table; the responsiveness of the host. These are just a few of the wonderful experiences shared by our family in this lovely home. Thank you!

Amazing home

House was absolute perfection and communication with the host was fantastic. My kids loved getting to play on the beach all day and search for new treasures. The home itself really lends itself to host a large group and the kitchen area is the perfect prep area to create lovely meals.

Yet another wonderful stay at THE NEST

This is probably our fifth stay at the Nest and it never disappoints. This year we decided to celebrate the Christmas holiday on Orcas Island and had a wonderful stay. The house is fantastic and will not disappoint. Great for family and friends. Lots of books. Lots of games. Beautiful views. Easy access to shopping in Eastsound. Very well stocked kitchen if you're interested in entertaining. Thanks to Anika for another great stay!

Great Beachfront Property

The facility was spacious and accommodating with several cool spaces for the kids to do their thing. Great views plus convenient location in the middle of all the Orcas activities. Was the perfect size for our group of 10 this holiday weekend. Definitely recommended.

A trip to see Orca whales

Booked a whale watch trip, and saw Orcas. Awoke one morning, looked out the living room windows, and saw Orcas. The house is roomy, well laid out, and easily meets the needs of a multi-generational family of 9.

Accommodations for All!

This property has everything for everyone! We personally had individuals ranging in age from 9-months to 60 years old. The property was incredibly well equipped to handle little kids, but in no way is it limited to that. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the view, and exploring tide pools when able.

Orcas Retreat

We had a great week with family at this house! The setting is amazing with most rooms having a view of the water. The interior of the house is very warm and light. There are tons of games and books and other extras to help entertain the kids. All the beds were very comfortable. We all enjoyed waking up to amazing views every morning, seeing the seals jump from the house, amazing sunsets and sunrises, and good meals cooked in the kitchen and from the grill. The kids lived for the low tides to go comb the rocks for treasured shells, look for crabs and see tiny fish in the water. We brought our kayaks and we’re able to launch from the house beach at low tide. We would recommend this house without hesitation!

About the host

Hosted by Anika Shaw

Host profile image
For many generations our families enjoyed coming to Orcas Island for vacations. In the early 90’s we decided to build a home and raise our family here. We had 5 homeschooled kids who loved having the beach as their classroom and doing their part in helping build our home. If you look closely you will notice some creative touches that they added to the house! We are now empty nesters and have moved on to a smaller home in the woodland area of Orcas. We are excited to share The Nest with other families. We love tourists because they see our island with fresh eyes and are awed by the beauty all around us. Hundreds of times I have heard people exclaim, "I don't know how you get any dishes washed here, I would just stand and stare out this kitchen window all day!"
Our daughter, Anika, moved back to the island in 2016 to raise her family and is thrilled to be managing her childhood home.
