This is a great places to stay for exploring Orcas. It's not far from the ferry landing (about 15 min), so it's convenient for coming and going. You're just a bit more than 5 minutes from the center of Eastsound, which is the heart of the island. Nothing on Orcas is too far away.
This Orcas Island airbnb vacation rental is for the whole house and yard. The property consists of 7 wooded acres on Orcas Island, about 5 minutes drive from the center of Eastsound. There's a barn near the parking area that is not part of the rental. Plenty of parking.
"This property is absolutely incredible- secluded in the woods right on a pond. The interior is open and filled with beautiful plants, which definitely exceeded our expectations from looking at the posting's pictures." (Kaitlin, April 2019, five-star reviews)
RELAX NEAR THE POND
The front porch overlooks the pond and has wooden chairs and pillows. This is our favorite part of the home. Anytime of the day, rain or shine, we find nothing more relaxing than sitting on the deck and gazing at the pond. (A roof overhang keeps you dry even if it's raining.)
The pond attracts wild ducks and other wildlife. Depending on the time of year, you might see baby ducks following their mother through the lily pads, a heron flying low over the water, or a family of deer coming down to drink.
FULL KITCHEN FOR COOKING AND ENTERTAINING
Eating well is one of the best parts of going on vacation, so we've set up a kitchen you can really use. All the basics: a full oven/range, toaster, blender, French press, coffee grinder, electric coffee maker, and fridge. The microwave is around the corner in the laundry room. All the pots and pans you could want, cooking utensils, etc. (If there's something you need for a particular dish, let us know when you're here and we might be able to come up with it from our gear at home.) Note: just so there are no surprises, there's no dishwasher.
We keep a collection of staples in the pantry - flour, baking soda, oil, etc so you won't have to buy a whole bottle of oil when you need just a couple of tablespoons. Again, ask us if there's something you need.
If you like to grill, we've got a pretty serious one on the porch right outside the kitchen door.
BEDROOMS AND SLEEPING AREAS
The house sleeps 7. But it does NOT have 7 beds. :)
There are three queen beds, one in each upstairs bedroom and one in the little room off the dining room. (There are no windows in this room; it is separated from the bathroom and dining room with louver doors, so it's not exactly private, but it's super-cozy.)
The main bedroom also has a small chaise that turns into a cot. (Perfect for a child.)
There is a pull-out couch at the bottom of the stairs in the common area that sleeps 2.
WASHER AND DRYER
There's a washer and dryer available for your use.
STAYING WARM (OR COOL)
The house is heated with electricity and does not have air conditioning (most houses on Orcas don't.) It stays toasty in the cooler months and gets plenty of sunshine through the big south-facing windows. In the summer, the roof overhang keeps things from heating up too much, and the cool evenings mean you can get a breeze through the house.
The wood stove is backup heat in case of winter-time power outages. If you want to use it at other times, you will need to buy or bring firewood (available at the main market in Eastsound or from a few different places along the main road. (If the power goes out, we'll provide wood.)
If you have questions about the house not answered here, please ask us!
There isn't much public transportation on Orcas. You'll want a car or bike.
Our vacation rental is fully permitted with San Juan County. Permit #PPROV0 - 15 - 0023. Airbnb sometimes hides the number, but it's available on request.
The barn is near the parking area, but it is not part of the rental. The owners use it for private storage, but they'll rarely be seen by anyone.
Electric Car Friendly: If you're bringing an electric car, there's a household power outlet available near the parking area. You will need to bring your cord. (Let us know you will be needing to charge your car so we can tell you how to access the outlet.)
There's a Samsung flatscreen TV. It has "Sling Free," or you can bring your own Netflix/Hulu/etc. passwords. (Or watch the ducks on the pond instead of the TV.)
Here's an example of a review left in our guestbook:
"We loved our stay in your beautiful and peaceful location. We will miss drinking our morning coffee on the deck, looking at the pond. Everything was so comfortable and well set up. Thank you for such a lovely place!"
-Andrew, Jessica, Emma & Malcolm.
