What an amazing place to stay! We adored being near Moran State Park and were able to take several day hikes with the kids. Close to Eastsound as well so the forgotten item at the grocery store was only a small problem. The backyard/hot tub/back deck situation was truly fantastic. We enjoyed watching deer and hawks and eagles enjoy the property with little care that we were there as well. Truly fantastic and will happily return soon!

Beautiful Break!

We loved our stay at John and Katie's stunning home. The porch looking out to the water was absolutely the highlight, and we enjoyed a glass of wine with a warm fire table. Great jumping off point for the highlights of Orcas Island, particularly Eastsound. We'd love to stay again!

Making this a family tradition!

We just LOVE staying on this beautiful property. We brought our new baby up this time along with big brother and had a magical few days as a family BBQing, toasting s'mores and playing soccer on that enormous lawn. The location is perfect and John & Katie are the most generous hosts to share this amazing spot with strangers. Definitely going to make this a special vacation spot for our family as long as it's available!

Amazing

Such a beautiful property. Near town, near the lake and hiking spots. We had a great time playing around in the yard, sitting on the deck, enjoying the hot tub. The cliff was a bit scary, but our kids did a great job of staying on the safe side of the fence. We love Orcas Island.

Wonderful place to stay

A super house in a beautiful location. John and Katie have put a lot of effort in over the years to make this place what it is today - fabulous. All the family loved the stay, the garden was glorious to play croquet on with the kids (supplied!) and they loved running about. Hot tub was also a treat after walking and especially at night to watch the stars. We saw deer and eagles in the garden and just sitting out at any time was a real treat. Would we come back?! Absolutely yes we would.

Dream wedding location

My husband and I found Chelsea’s property last year when we were looking for wedding locations on the water. We immediately fell in love when we saw the pictures online. Once we got in contact with Chelsea, she made the whole process so simple for us. We actually hadn’t seen the property until a couple of days before our wedding, but it did not disappoint. The house is very cute and perfect for two couples to stay in. The yard and view is just something else! We’ll be sure to come back here for anniversary trips in the future!

Great location and beautiful home!

We enjoyed our stay at John and Katie’s home immensely! The house is fantastic. Everything is new and clean. Beautifully decorated. The hot tub was lovely and the yard was so nice to play in! We loved coffee in the morning on the back deck and evenings playing games as a family. The one note I would make is the far extension of the property toward the sound is a very steep cliff down. Our kids are older and understood not to go beyond the fence, but I would have been a bit concerned if we had younger kids in our group. Very close to the market and East Sound village. Overall a perfect vacation! Thanks for sharing your home!

Thanksgiving getaway

We skipped out on Thanksgiving this year with a getaway to Orcas Island. The Ocean View House on East Sound was a lovely spot - close to town, close to Moran State Park, views of the water, quiet. It offered everything we needed - comfortable and cozy hang/living area, comfortable beds, big kitchen for cooking and the outdoor covered porch with fire table and outdoor TV with views of the water was a total bonus. We loved it! Chelsea was so responsive and easy to communicate with when we had questions. Two things to note for future renters: 1) For those of you who, like me, are sensitive to fragrances and perfumes, they do use scented laundry detergent so the towels and sheets have a strong scent. Consider bringing your own sheets and towels, which I have gotten into the habit of doing. 2) For winter renters, the floor is quite cold and it is a "no shoe" house. Good to bring slippers or cozy socks.

We had an amazing stay at John and Katie’s place! We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and s’more supplies. Most of our time was spent on the covered back deck with beautiful views of the water where we had fun watching the deer eat apples out of the yard. We also loved giving pets to the two friendly kitties.

The pictures of this place don't do it justice. This is one of the best VRBO I have stayed at thus far. The host have thought of everything to make you feel welcome and at home. This surpassed by expectations. I came back to this island to get back to my childhood roots, to reminisce on old memories and this place made me feel at home...To old memories and new ones. I will be back for sure.
