About this property

The Bungalow on the Shore in West Sound

Launch your island explorations and / or work remotely from the Bungalow in West Sound! Gorgeous views across Deer Harbor Road to the waters of West Sound. Southern outlooks include the boat masts in the harbor, sunsets to the west, and a bucolic orchard. Totally refurbished, this shoreline home is comfortable, fresh and charming. West sound Marina is just a short stroll down the street for boat moorage and/or Kenmore Air service. Public access on the shore offers beach combing, clamming, and sailing. Orcas Island Yacht Club is next door with summer sailing lessons for kids available in the harbor. Dine on the roomy deck or lounge in the Adirondack chairs with the soothing sounds of the creek next door as it tumbles into the sea. Relax in the cool evening air enjoying the charming ambiance of the propane fire pit. Families will love playing in the large level yard, observing abundant wildlife including families of deer, perhaps an otter, mink or racoon, and a plethora of birds. Cozy and secluded for a couple or small family, yet with sleeping quarters and dining areas for eight or more. On the main level is the master bedroom with king bed and attached master bathroom and second bedroom with queen bed, plus sofa bed in the living room. Second full bath is also on this level. Large loft has an additional two queens and two twin roll-aways for more sleeping options. Loft also serves as a rec room with roomy T.V. viewing area, games, and game/project table. Well-appointed kitchen with new propane range and hood, new refrigerator and propane barbecue right outside. Great room is a terrific gathering place year around with large dining table and cozy propane heating stove. A panel of windows across the space frames the picture-perfect view. Coffee/tea service is provided, as well as all bathroom amenities, and laundry room products. The house has a security camera, solar and power backup and there is an EV charger for your convenience, as well as high speed fiber internet. We love to recommend many local favorite hikes, shops, cafes and beaches for you to explore during your stay. We look forward to hosting you!

Fantastic
I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Orcas Island. It was spotless, well appointed, convenient to our activities and exceeded our expectations. The owner went over and beyond to accommodate and make our stay enjoyable. Our evening meals were amazing on the porch overlooking the water.

Great house for family
We had a wonderful stay at The Bungalow! The house was as described with many thoughtful touches for a great stay! Ruth gave us wonderful suggestions on activities to do on Orcas as well. The house was clean and well decorated. We loved the design and the space. Small touches like including soap, kitchen items, laundry detergent were appreciated. The notebook gave area info and clear instructions on the house. We also loved the location. We enjoyed watching boats in the bay and it was a quick drive to town and activities. The deck was a great place to relax. We were visited by deer and a peacock! Thanks for a great family getaway!

Absolutely pristine. Everything was immaculate. I am not sure there was air conditioning but did not find any. Deer walked across the property daily ! Stunning view of Marina.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Johnston

Host profile image
Originally from Ireland and Germany, we met traveling and we love to put bags on our backs and explore other countries. In our travels we ended up on Orcas and fell in love with the island.

After many years of visits by land and sea, we finally have our own piece of paradise here and want others to enjoy what we love so much about this place: the beaches, hiking, sailing, paddle-boarding, kayaking, farm to table food, local wine, wildlife, birding, the lakes and the island pace of life.

What makes this property unique

The hamlet of West Sound is a peaceful neighborhood overlooking the bay, with West Sound Marina, community docks, and public access beach. Beach access is across Deer Harbor Road and 30 yards to the west. The Kingfish Inn is a short walk for delicious food and drink. Conveniences such as stores and so on are located in Eastsound Village, five miles away. You can walk to some of the local produce farms from the house and we highly encourage it. Turtleback Mountain South Trailhead for a splendid hike is just 1.5 miles down the road.
