Ocean View House, Outdoor TV, Firepit, Hot Tub, One Mile to Town!
An Orcas oasis nestled in beautiful Eastsound. John and Katie's place is one of a kind on the Emerald Island. With stunning sunset views overlooking Cresent Beach, this vacation spot is sure to impress. The property is fully equipped from the spacious kitchen to the outdoor fire pit and a hot tub facing the ocean. With an acre of well maintained yard space- it's the perfect area for family games or opt to sit on the covered deck and read a book. Comfortable outdoor couches, propane fire table and an outdoor TV to enjoy sports with friends or movie nights with the kids! Come visit us and see what relaxation is all about!
We just spent a peaceful week at the Ocean View house. The house and grounds were immaculate. We were close to town for restaurants and shopping. It was a perfect jumping-off point for anywhere we cared to go on the island. Deer would drop by daily to forage for fallen fruit from the back yard's apple tree. One young buck wasn't waiting for the apples to fall, and could be seen standing on its hind legs as it nipped at the apples still on the branches.
The photos donât do it justice. This place is so tranquil and the views are spectacular. If that isnât enough, the hosts were tremendously helpful and responsive.
We enjoyed our time at John and Katieâs place tremendously! The yard and views are some of the best on the island. Orcas Island is such a gem and this particular house and place is so special. Thanks for sharing it with the world!
We had an amazing time! This was a perfect vacation spot with the most perfect host with great attention to detail. The host is extremely thoughtful and easy to contact. All you need is your family and some clothes. I canât wait to go back.
The pictures donât do it justice! The back porch and its views are magical! We saw a constant parade of bald eagles, robins, sparrows, Canadian geese and kingfishers. The grounds are covered in flowers. Beds were comfortable and kitchen has everything you need and more. Really was the perfect place for 2 couple friends to hangout and enjoy Orcas. We had such a great time and I hope we can come back soon!
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.
The house, property and location were perfect. The thoughtful touches and attention to detail and comfort are so appreciated. Cannot wait to come back soon.
The home was wonderful. The host provided a welcome wine, smores and firewood. It was very cozy and the views of the sound were spectacular. I would stay there again.
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!
Absolutely beautiful. Amazing location, so peaceful, very comfortable with everything we needed. Kind and helpful check in process. Couldnât be better!
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.
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!
This place is magical. So clean and inviting that I truly did not want to leave. Everything was well appointed. I would recommend this in a heartbeat.
Thank you and I will be back.
It was a stunning property, positioned just above the water with amazing views! The house was very clean and well-stocked and the beds were SO comfortable! I highly recommend this property.
We had a wonderful stay at this very special property. The house had everything we needed and the communication with the property manager was excellent. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit Orcas.
The location of the house was perfect for our stay. The outdoor amenities were where we played and the kitchen was well stocked for entertaining. I recommend this property.
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.
My husband and I found Chelseaâs 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 hadnât 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! Weâll be sure to come back here for anniversary trips in the future!
We enjoyed our stay at John and Katieâs 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!
