We loved the place and would be thrilled to rent it again if make it back to orcas island. Good communication from the owner, very smooth check in and the house is well stocked and in great condition. Very smooth process
So fun and a great set up for our family trip. All adults, but had a good set up. Host was so helpful and was quick with answers to questions! Thanks for a great stay!
Had a great stay! Property manager was super responsive. Kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Great selection of games and puzzles. Hot tub worked great. Short walk to North Beach and wonderful sunsets/sunrises. Minor hiccups with WiFi so had to reboot router multiple times. Bathrooms were clean, a little musty, but functional. Everyone in my group was comfortable and had a great time.
My whole family was comfy and slept great. Access to beach and town was fabulous, house offered exactly what was advertised and host was responsive and kind. My husband said he felt we had found a hidden gem. We love Orcas and had a great visit, thank you!!
I love Orcas Island and so I had my bachelorette party at this property. It was a 20 minute walk from town with beautiful views of the water and the beach. We always have an amazing time on the island.
Communication with owner was easy and comfortable; house was clean and cozy; nice little touches made it a charming stay; instruction book was easy to understand.
We chose Orcas b/c my husband and I got acquainted there over 40 years and our daughters wanted to take him whale watching for his 70 birthday so, what better way to go? The house was perfect for us. The grands loved the hot tub and having a fire in the fire pot. The location to the beach is a short 5-10 minute walk. We had fun finding and looking at the baby starfish, crab and hermit crabs among the rocks. The house is in a great location. Nice neighborhood, close to downtown Eastsound, not far from Mt Constitution and Buck Bay. Joy was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond to our questions and gave great sightseeing and food tips. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
This is the perfect home for our family to have a nice long weekend to relax. The kitchen was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a hit with the littles and adults. The beds were so comfortable, my youngest (7) said âitâs like a cloud hugging you and rocking you to sleepâ. A short walk to the beach to watch the sunrise set and a cup of coffee in bed to watch the sun rise.Although we were there during the off season we had plenty to do inside with all the games that were provided in the home! Thank you for sharing this home with us Joy!
We had a wonderful stay over the weekend. The beach is a short walk away and it's tucked in a more quiet part of the island for morning runs. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready to go. There were plenty of blankets for our movie night in the living room. The 3 bedrooms were very cozy. Would stay here again. Our group of 5 were comfortable here. Communication was excellent.
House is wonderful! We enjoyed the inside and outside equally. Several outside areas to enjoy from front yard, fire area, hot tub and back deck and upstairs deck.
The hosts seem to always be available to answer any questions both prior and during our visit. Gave excellent restaurant recommendations as well! Truly a delight to rent from.
Such a lovely home! Pictures are accurate but you canât appreciate how peaceful and beautiful the grounds are until you are there. Water view from the upstairs balcony is awesome. Home is very well appointed. Beds are very comfy, kitchen well stocked, plenty of towels and blankets, lovely living room. We used the hot tub each day and it was nice and warm, very clean. Backyard is very private. Plenty of off street parking for several cars. I highly recommend and would gladly stay here again.
This property is inviting, quiet, well equipped, and comfortable. It is a two minute walk to a small public beach access where we saw a few local orca during our stay. The house is situated on a gorgeous lot with a wonderful, private backyard. Views from the private master deck are serene and lovely. The owner Joy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive, accommodating and kind. We enjoyed our stay. Would return for sure.
This house was perfect for our 3-generational family. The beach was just steps away where we saw a beautiful sunset. The location was ideal for spending time at the Moran State Park and dining in East Sound. Recommend Hogstone. The house was very comfortable and well equipped for making breakfast and dinner. And we found a couple of our favorite board games. The owner was very responsive and answered all my questions. My family loved this place.
Joy was an absolutely gracious host! Her beautiful home served not only as the staging area for a Healing Retreat held just down the road at Camp Orkila, but as reprieve after emotionally powered engagements. The space was not only beautiful and serene, but a very short walk to my favorite place on the entire island! Joy was so incredibly accommodating and everything was beyond what I could've expected. I found myself feeling at home, along with the others staying here. The beds and the space were EXACTLY what we needed! The energy in this home is so positively vibrational! Joy, we will return again! Thank you for everything you provided, at every level! Thank you for sharing your home and your light!
Convenient place to stay just outside of Eastsound
Nicely located a block from a small public beach area and about a mile from Eastsound's central business area. Plenty of space for the family. Joy was a pleasure to work with as our host.
A perfect little house to rest and relax in. We loved the location of this A-frame best after staying in different locations on Eastsound. While we love the views of Buck Mountain, this A-frame provided us a prime place to see sunset at North Beach each night. The area was quiet, and we loved walking into town everyday. The owners were very sweet and came to clean the hot tub for us and even helped my son locate some marbles for a game in the house. We entertained friends and family here a couple of nights, and the big backyard was great for guests. Overall, I would highly recommend.
We went to Orcas every summer for years, and finally decided we should have a second home there. We feel like locals now, and have many friends there. It's such a treasure of a place!
