Nice House

We enjoyed the house and found it to be well equipped to entertain a family with small children. The bunkhouse was nice for the grandparents to find a quiet spot. The house was clean and well-maintained. Responsiveness by the property management to questions was excellent. Overall, this was a nice visit.

Tranquil

Lovely view in a very peaceful location. Kitchen is fully stocked and all appliances are high end. Beds are comfortable and bathroom is nice. Home is updated but it is an older home, so those sensitive to humidity might not feel comfortable. Convenient to Doe Bay, Buck Bay and Moran and about 20 minutes drive to Eastsound. No beach access and aside from the gravel roads, no real walking area. Lots of deer!

Quaint cabin

Orcas Island is always wonderful and this past trip didn’t disappoint. Our ferry was delayed 5 hours so we arrived on Orcas late at night. The directions to the house were difficult for us to follow and GPS took us down the wrong road. When we finally located the house there were multiple lock boxes and we had a struggle getting the house key out. I think if we were checking in daylight this would have been easier. The house is partially remodeled and clean but by no means completely updated. The appliances are new but the bathrooms are older. All in all we had a fun time but probably would not choose this house again.
