Beautiful Cabin - 10/10
Stayed here for a few days during a stay on Orcas with some old friends from college. We absolutely loved the spot and can’t recommend it highly enough. Remote in the best possible way. Lovely accommodations, great view. We saw a seal and otters right in the backyard!

Get away from it all!
If you’re looking for a place to get away from everything then this is the spot! Wake up and have your coffee overlooking an amazing view and hoping to see whales migrating through. Home was perfect for our friends and family and gave us ample room to enjoy each other and solitude. You have your choice of two private beaches to go and experience a true cold plunge! I would definitely recommend this home to anyone that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle to reconnect with nature, family, and self.

Amazing Spot (once you get there), Very dated home
This is a tough one...the location of the home is right on the water which is absolutely stunning. Our kids loved visiting the beach on the property, watching the bald eagles flying along the water and seeing seals and otters swim by. That said, the house is extremely remote and it's a hike down a long and twisty dirt road to get there. Vacasa will send you a liability message stating that you need a 4WD vehicle to access the property with very good reason, but only after you've made your reservation. There is a section of road that is extremely steep and you will not be able to get out of the driveway if you do not have 4WD or are a very skilled off-road driver. As for the house, absolutely zero effort has been made to make the interior of the house inviting and comfortable. There is religious iconography all over the place, the owner's family photos are everywhere, and the basement (accessible only for laundry) is untidy and just plain scary. My young children thought the house was creepy and my wife did not feel safe staying there alone. Not a judgement by any means, but it made us appreciate the measures taken by most other rental properties to make it feel like you are not intruding on someone else's home. Very nice of the owners to share this incredible spot with others, but an extremely disappointing rental experience overall.

Views magnificent, had to make our own window washing cleaner and wash windows to be able to see them. Bed and pillows disappointing.

Complete relaxation
Felt like we were staying in a home of one of our own relatives and everything made us feel as if we were part of their family. Wonderful seclusion with wildlife and sea life popping in for a visit every day. Beautiful sunrises and sipping coffee on the deck watching the waves made the days go by too fast and we would stay longer if we could. Thanks to the owner for providing this wonderful property!

Orcas Island House
This was a great property to rent for the week. Getting to the house did involve driving down a fairly rough dirt road- but my rental sedan was more than capable of navigating the road. (Google Maps really wants to send you down Dolphin Bay Road- unless a ferry is arriving Orcas Rd is a much better option.) House looked like the pictures. You may want to bring some extra bit of firewood - several places in Eastsound sold it.

Old School VRBO in a Gorgeous Location
It was a bit of an adventure getting to our VRBO due to some issues with blocked roads but Luke, our Vacasa rep, was super responsive and helpful and sent us our child’s forgotten electronic device to boot. The house took some getting used to because it is what I think of as old school VRBO, where it feels like you’ve walked into someone else’s home. We were more worried about the safety of the artifacts than anything. But as we stayed longer we got used to it. There are *lots* of Christian references if that’s something that would bother you. On the plus side, the view is one of the best we’ve ever had on Orcas and even though the house is very remote and far away from Moran, it wasn’t too long a trek to get to our favorite hikes. The couches and recliners were very comfy and we all had someplace to stretch out and relax. There had been a slide so getting to the beach proper was more exciting than it once was but it was totally doable and still far easier than a house we used to stay at on Orcas—our kids managed well with a bit of support. We might prefer to stay a bit closer to Moran another year but by the end of the trip we all agreed that we could see ourselves returning to this house.

Fabulous view
Sometimes the pictures are better than reality. This was even better than the pictures! Truly beautiful view from every window. The deck was amazing. An orca pod swam by. There were seals and otters at the beach every single day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!
