The upper covered deck is cozy and welcoming in both rain and shine. Additionally, there is a covered patio and fire pit just outside the lower level. Those cherishing more separation may also choose to close doors at the top of the stairwell, creating quiet separation.

Guests with mobility limitations are advised that there is a series of steps that leads from the parking area through a rockery to reach the upper entry.

Very comfortable, clean and spacious home. Communication with the host was great. It would we helpful if the listing included mention of multiple stairs up to the home. We didn’t have an issue but I can see how it would be challenging for some. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing place. The only negative thing at all was that we typed the address into Waze from the ferry and it had the location fairly wrong, but we found it eventually.

Secluded two unit home Near Eastsound, well configured for several couples or two families with both

Beautifully decorated and well appointed with both indoor/outdoor, public/private spaces. Conducive to cooking/dining activities. Several sets of stairs indoors and outdoors. Property is just off main road and walkable to town if you don't mind walking along roadway. Trees and screening makes it feel more secluded. Grills, porches, and outdoor spaces make it easy to enjoy the natural setting. Never did figure out all of the light switches.

Pristine!

This house has two of everything. Living areas, master suites, kitchens, washer/dryers, and —best of all—porches! Mike and Evelyn were helpful in every way; from advising us about the ferry to offering suggestions about great hikes, they personified the best of hospitality. The house is beautiful, easy and comfortable. We especially appreciated the notes about how to care for the home so that we were never in doubt about what was expected of us. The views of ocean peaking through the tree tops, the cool summer breezes and the fire pit for s'mores, lit by stars at night, made this a perfect stay for our family: grandparents, children and grandchildren. We loved Hogstone—oysters perfectly matched to summer rose— and Island Hoppin' Brewery, as well as Madrona Grill. Mt Constitution, with its jaw-dropping views and hikes, is not to be missed! Thanks, Mike and Evelyn! We can't wait to come back!

Our stay in Eastsound was very enjoyable and relaxing. The property was well maintained and furnished. The two-level living was perfect for our family as it provided just the right amount of space for everyone. I’m a big guy (6’7”, 255) and the bed (King) we slept in was so comfortable I requested what type of mattress it was after I got home so I could look into buying one. The hosts were wonderful, providing speedy and very helpful info on local attractions. In general, Orcas Island is such a beautiful retreat for a vacation- plenty to do, but not overcrowded. We loved our stay and look forward to a return in the future.

Excellent home

Perfect for 4 adults and 4 children. Great location near Eastsound off the main road. We used the upstairs and downstairs, which are pretty similar spaces each with living room, bath, laundry, and 2 bedrooms. Worked great for 2 families. Comfortable furniture and beds. Nicely decorated and in good shape. Nice easy to use gas fireplace in the living rooms to stay cozy in the eveings. We didn't use the kitchen much but seemed to be pretty well equipped. We all noted that the space isn't very bright, which is the price of being surrounded by some beautiful tall trees, but there are many lights and wall switches.

Rude and unprofessional host inaccurate listing

Location great. House is very roomy though a bit musty smelling. Only one broken fire pit which we were informed should not have been used even though advertised two fire pits. We ended up getting charged extra for cleaning oven and garbage. We had only normal use and went out of our way to wash sheets towels kitchen. If you have a large group there will be equivalent trash which was all put in the trash area. Also plan to trek your belongings up a few flights of stairs which is left out of the listing.

Great house, close to town (Eastsound). Had everything we needed except salt and pepper. 1st and 2nd floors are identical floor plans which made it great for 2 couples that each wanted king beds and a little privacy. Owners were unobtrusive but available.

Gorgeous house

This house is beautiful and so well made. All high-end appliances and finishes. The layout is perfect for 2 families. Love the separated upstairs and downstairs spaces. You are tucked in the trees with a little view of the water. The street traffic below is noisier than we liked but it didn’t keep us from enjoying the balconies. Also didn’t find any coffee or cooking products so make sure to bring your own. They were plenty of utensils and appliances etc though

Very Nice …

The house is pretty much perfect. Clean, well decorated/layed out, supplied, organized and location is spot on. You have options to many indoor or outdoor seating to retreat to having your own space or lounging about with who you’re traveling with. All the bedrooms are cozy and are supplied about the same. The only draw back I saw was getting to the house. Driveway/parking area is below the house. You will need to haul your bags UP to the house. Which is a lot if your staying a week and have 3 bags pre-person. Or have ANY medical limits (at the time I had a broken ankle & was in a boot). Although in the property description it does mention rocky stairs. Take into consideration you’ll be ready for a chilled beverage after you unload the car. And if coming home late…. It’s DARK! Over all - the house is lovely. I’d stay again. We had everything we needed. It was close to town, not noisy, trees kept you nestled in with wildlife (mamma doe & fawn) walking about property, hummingbirds buzzing and the whispers above from the branches. Very relaxing…. Ya just gotta get there😉
