Orcas Island, Nami-an #221

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. No children under the age of 12 years of age are allowed ***

When your tastes run to the contemporary, you’ll find this sophisticated Doe Bay cabin a jewel of design integrity (To learn about the architect's concept, go to www.archdaily/157449 - Nami an is the featured property!) Nami An has a distinctive minimal esthetic with Asian influences. This "cabin" on Doe Bay is a light-filled volume of space, created with the vision that every detail should be precise and harmonious.

The Asian theme begins when you remove your shoes and don slippers (thoughtfully provided) to tread lightly on the bamboo floors. Furnishings are sleek and contemporary; shoji screens take the place of swinging doors. Bathing is a special experience as well - you’ll step up to sink down into a deep Japanese soaking tub. One side of the shower is a glass wall with a view into a small fenced garden.There’s even an outdoor shower in this courtyard where you can feel completely part of the natural atmosphere.

The main level of the home encompasses the bathing room and powder room, a well-equipped kitchen with paperstone counters, the dining area, and a bedroom with a floating queen-size futon bed. Upstairs, there's an open loft with an additional queen futon bed; shoji screens are installed to provide visual privacy for those sleeping on this upper level. But do note that Nami An is intended for two or three adult guests to enjoy. (The sides of the stairway are open and not suitable for small children.)

Nami An has a beautiful waterfront outlook where nature abounds. Complete privacy is provided to the left of the home by a wooded area that attracts deer, eagles, and rabbits. The two neighboring homes to the right may be screened from view with the use of window shades and shoji screens.

Forward of the home, there is a cleared path that leads to a rocky outcrop at the shoreline. When the water recedes in low tide, you can clamber along the waterside and study the wide diversity of sea creatures left behind in the pockets of the rocks.

Nami An has a great location on the sunny southeastern tip of Orcas Island, within a short walk of Doe Bay Resort where there's a convenience store, a wonderful restaurant, and sauna (a day pass can be purchased at the Resort). It's a 15 minute drive to Olga and Moran State Park (super hiking!), about 30 minutes from Eastsound Village where there are lots of shops and dining, and a 45 minute drive from the Orcas Ferry Landing.

PLEASE NOTE that no children under the age of 12 years of age are allowed. Netflix is available through the Blue Ray DVD player. The Blue-Ray DVD player will recognize and play regular DVDs as well as CDs all through the stereo set up. The internet provider is "Doe Bay Internet User's Association" It provides a very quick and dependable connection. Also note there are 2 steps to the entrance of the home.

Nice place, with a few quirks
Pros: - Beautiful location, end of the road, but still walking distance to Doe Bay Resort/Cafe. - Great view from deck (but see cons). - Well stocked kitchen, nice gas grill. Cons: - Lot between house and shoreline is owned by someone else, not developed (yet) but lots of no trespassing signs/warnings, so no beach access. - Several other houses close by, not as private as you might expect. - House is very small. - Only one bathroom (downstairs), primary bedroom upstairs. - No dishwasher. Kind of expect that in this price range. - Indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit are useless in the summer due to burn ban. - Japanese shower is…interesting. Not for shy folks.

Pretty zen
Overall it was a very good 4 nights. A little mixup with the key code. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Excellent shower. Kitchen worked well, despite a confused microwave. Views though the floor to 2 story windows were terrific. Very light and sunny. We walked the 15 minutes over to Doe Bay Cafe for dinner the first evening. Also convenient for Moran State Park. Well, it's a small island; everything is convenient. 15 minute drive to the Brown Bear Bakery in East Sound. Great stay. Memorable really.

Perfect Getaway
This property was spectacular. The views from the home are breathtaking. They had everything you could need for your stay. All the kitchen utensils and dishes you would need. The shower and soaking tub were always perfect after a long hike. The fire made the atmosphere even more cozy. We even had doe come right in the back yard. I've never been more relaxed on a vacation.

Spectacular views
Great views. The furnishings and design lend a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. During most of our stay, we rarely saw any neighbors and had lots of privacy. We loved the deep soaking tub. The view from the house is the best feature.

Water view studio
The ad for this place is misleading. The first picture shows a little beach. The cover of the info book when you arrives shows two comfy chairs perched on the edge overlooking the water. There is no beach access from this property. There are warnings to not go outside the property lines, no trespassing signs for the path to the rocks above the little beach and clear outlines of the property lines that do not include a path to the beach or any beach access.
