*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
Just a convenient mile from the ferry landing, this dramatic contemporary home offers wonderful end-of-the-road privacy. Almost every room of this wonderful vacation home on Orcas Island offers spectacular views across West Sound, Shaw Island, and Wasp Passage. The sunsets will take your breath away. This is a spacious, high bank waterfront home, with a fabulous patio and deck stretching across the western side. It is a great space for watching summer boat traffic travel up West Sound to the marina.
A windowed foyer highlights the entry, as does a grand piano. There is a large living/dining room with an open hearth rock fireplace and floor to ceiling windows that bring the outside in. High ceilings and clerestory windows add wonderful volume to the dramatic architecture of the rooms.
There is plenty of space for entertaining in this home. The large kitchen has a great layout with high end appliances and cookware, and it adjoins a family room with another rock fireplace and a breakfast/game table. There is also a back entrance mudroom/laundry and convenience bath.
You will go up a half flight of stairs to the master bedroom with a king bed and luxurious chocolate marble bath with a view. In addition, there is an exit to a private balcony with spiral staircase down to the hot tub on the deck below. Down another half flight of stairs from the main level is a guest bedroom with queen bed as well as a third bedroom that offers twin beds. Both lower level bedrooms also have doors to the deck and hot tub. (Great News! The hot tub is now available April 15th - October 15th!)
The ferry dock is located at Orcas Landing, just one mile away, where you will find a small grocery, post office, and restaurants plus shops. Venture up the road in the opposite direction for about 15 minutes and you will find the village of Eastsound with its fine dining, theater, and shopping.

We love hearing stories like this we are so pleased to hear you had a nice time we do hope you will come and stay and visit us again.
The house was beautiful, the view stunning, and the kitchen was very well equipped. We loved our week on Orcas Island...the fantastic house and central location made the week just perfect.
The property was gorgeous! It had beautiful views of the ocean and great patio seating with umbrellas. The rooms were very comfortable. The kitchen had to be the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen at a rental property. We would highly recommend anyone stay here. It was a warm and wonderful experience for our entire family.

Thank you so much for this lovely review of this lovely home. We appreciate your attention to the well equipped kitchen. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future to one of our beautiful vacation homes! ~NW Island Escapes
This home exceeded expectations. The pictures didn’t do it justice. The floorplan was wonderful as you could spread out and have privacy if you needed it The outside patio ran the entire length of the house with a hot tub and dinining overlooking the water. There was everything in the home that you could ever need. Location was great as it was close to the ferry but on a private road tucked in the woods on the water. Also easy drive to town for shopping & dining. Don’t miss this one you won’t be disappointed!

Reviewer Comments:
This house is really spectacular. So much indoor and outdoor space! And everything was beautiful. The only critique that I can think of is that the water pressure was really, really low. There were many showers, but in all but the master bathroom, we could not get more than a trickle to come out of the shower head. However, that did not get in the way of our enjoying this house a great deal. We would absolutely come again!

Dear Guest - thank you so much for choosing to visit the Islands and for staying with us at Isle of Sky. We appreciate your many compliments and agree! The property is absolutely beautiful. In terms of water pressure, since this review the owners have addressed the water pressure problem with the addition of an automatic pressure reset to the water pump and water flow is much better at this point. We do appreciate your feedback here and hope to see you again soon - Happy Holidays! General Manager
The property has a breathtaking view of Shaw, Crane Island, Deer Harbor and points southwest. Be aware that in August you get lots of afternoon sun making the deck quite unusable until twilight. However, the mornings and late evenings are splendid. The place is huge and well equipped. You will enjoy privacy and forested surroundings. Though close to the ferry, it is remote from Moran, Rosario and even Eastsound. So be prepared for lots of driving!
This place is a beautiful contemporary home that does not sacrifice comfort for style. Worked well for our family of six. Exceedingly well equipped. Very private. Magnificent views. The pictures do not do this place full justice. We will return.
This proved to be an outstanding property and a wonderful mini vacation for ourselves and very dear friends. The house is perfect for three couples and there are so many hidden and luxurious amenities to enjoy. The view is unbeatable, the kitchen is large and accommodating and the setting is idyllic. We’d love to come back again soon!
When we looked for a safe escape to spend a quarantined Christmas, we couldn’t have picked better than this property. We spent the coziest and most special of holidays enjoying the stunning view, cooking and baking up a storm in the impeccably stocked kitchen and lounging by a roaring fire. This is a truly special property that is warm, welcoming and obviously well loved. We appreciate it being shared with us and hope to return someday.
The views and the accommodations were absolutely breath taking. We felt like royalty in our mansion. I cannot wait to come back again some day.

We enjoyed our stay here. Two couples, no children. The kitchen was especially well appointed, which is important in the age of Covid! The view was amazing and the house has many cozy places to be. There is a telescope for star gazing, and a nice hot tub. My only complaint is that the Queen mattress in the secondary bedroom is completely shot. Not getting comfortable sleep on a vacation is a bummer. Don't lose the coin flip for the amazing master suite!

This house was the perfect place for four sisters to relax and enjoy the beautiful island together. Everything was just superb, super clean, gorgeous views and stocked with literally everything an avid cook and/or coctail sipper could possibly need. We hope to stay here again in the future, the pictures don't do it justice!
Beautiful property. We had a lovely time and were very appreciative of all of the amenities at the house. The house was very clean and well kept. We would certainly rent that property again.

The house needs a deep clean and the beds in the basement of the house are extremely uncomfortable. The living room is gorgeous with a comfortable couch. There were plenty of cooking utensils and dishes. But the kitchen cupboards and drawers need to be cleaned. The hot tub seemed brand new and was one of the highlights of the trip. The deck spans the entire property and was wonderful and even had flowers. The views were worth coming back after new mattress and a cleaning.

Spent the most incredible week at this home. The pictures don’t do this house justice: it’s a slice of heaven on earth. The house is beautifully appointed with picturesque views of the water. We enjoyed leisurely meals on the patio and loved watching the stars from the hot tub. Great opportunity to connect three generations together for some quality family time. We would like to make this an annual trip.

An absolutely wonderful long weekend! House was well-equipped and very clean. Setting is very private and quiet with incredible views. We saw deer, bald eagles and a ton of other bird life too. Master suite has a bank of windows so you wake to a stunning view. Hot tub was a delight to watch the sunsets. We hope to return soon!
Please look on the headboard/shelf on the master bedroom for an engraved silver men’s bracelet (inscribed with “Elise, Carrin, & Gabrielle). The rental was “Isle in the Sky”, 304 Morley Drive, Eastsound, WA. 98245 (Orca Island).
