R&R at the Crow's Nest

Thank you for the opportunity to stay at this delightful getaway spot. Loved the room set up, the small kitchenette and the VIEW. Spent time on the deck in between rain showers, coming back in to warm up by the cozy fireplace. I also walked across the street to the community dock and easy access to the beach. What a perfect space to rest and relax!

Great Stay in West Sound

Loved this beautiful spot above the marina. It had all the necessary essentials for a lovely solo trip. The porch was the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The bed was super comfortable, and the kitchen and bath were perfect for my needs. As others have mentioned, the kitchen has just the essentials, including a mini-fridge. Plan to eat out at many of the wonderful spots on the island!

Stay on Orcas Island

Great stay! Very friendly and helpful hosts. We had E bikes and were able to meet friends at different harbors for boat pick up. The Kingfish Restaurant next door was amazing. The closest places for breakfast or coffee is a 15 min bike ride so something to plan for.

Cozy place, incredible view

Crow's nest is a lovely spot for a person or couple who can make other eating arrangements, as there are limited cooking facilities. We visit friends in West Sound who have limited space, but a great kitchen. And at Crows Nest, we wake up to see sunrise over West Sound, we watch the birds and the ducks and the occasional harbor seal. What a treat!
