Orcas Island is yours to experience from this Eastsound home, offering amazing views of the sound and an excellent location for unwinding and taking in the local sights. At night, gather together around the firepit and watch the stars come out.
You'll be on the west side of the sound, a quick drive from out-of-the-way sights like Orcas Island Golf Course and farm stands less than four miles outside of Eastsound proper. You're also a short drive from hiking at the Turtleback Mountain Preserve. The trails of Mount Constitution in Moran State Park are 14 miles to the east, and the views from the famous observation platform at the top are more than worth the visit.

space needs a deep clean and some TLC
My family and I had an interesting trip to Orcas Island, but the one place we had no complaints was the vacation home. It was beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful. It all had all the amenities. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were plenty of games and movies to watch. The wifi worked great. After we hit the grocery store, there was no reason to leave. That may be the one downside, once we got there no one wanted to leave, and we saw very little of the island. Maybe next time we visit we will see some of the island since my children are already bugging me to go back.
We stayed at Shore Thing for 4 nights and it was a great place to stay. The house well off the beaten path and feels like a little remote getaway. Completely clean, plenty of room, and well stocked. The views from the living spaces and bedrooms are incredible, we loved waking up every morning and sipping coffee while looking at the East Sound. Pretty short drives to everything as well. We will absolutely be back and recommending this VRBO to our friends as well!
Loved staying here: the view was 4 out of 5, making hanging out on the deck a must - even all bundled up from the cold... Especially since the fireplace made it pleasurable going in to warm up. The island was amazing, so location isn't going to be a problem no matter where you stay. Furnishings and amenities were really nice, and the kitchen (surprisingly to me at least) had everything you could think of plus some - no creative solutions necessary!!
The Cabin was well appointed and had everything ( and then some), that we might have needed for our brief stay
House location, condition, all details absolutely fine
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was clean, spacious, and had beautiful ocean views. We loved it!
The house was nice to stay at. Good location and view. The only downside was the thorough cleanliness. Cob webs, dust bunnies, dead bugs in the window sills and clothing under a bed.
Seeing the water every day
Comfortable space for family, beautiful views. Wish path to water was available, and cleaning and upkeep need attention.
Loved the view and the fact we could take two dogs! It was a comfortable place to stay.
Was comfortable and clean and quiet with amazing views, quick access to ferry and eastsound. Only bummer was wasps stung 2 guests and our 1 dog - could be time of year but two separate incidents - one person was stung in the house. As long as you stay vigilant about wasps, was a great stay!
Lovely property, wonderful accommodation
Overall, the location and everything was amazing. We ran out of garbage bags and propane, but the host was quick to respond to problems.
This place is a pleasure to spend time at.
The house was comfortable and had some nice amenities in the bathrooms and very usable kitchen with plenty of pots and pans and kid friendly dishes. Some of the furnishings are a bit worn but usable. It was a good location and nice view. The house floors were very dirty and there were some other cleanliness issues which we reported but were only there for a short stay so they didn’t have a chance to correct them.
The house is nice well built. But not well taken care of it was filthy when we checked in, plumbing issues, one sink had the cold water unconnected. Internet unreliable to nonexistent The advertised path to the water was not maintained hence blocked off as closed.
Vacation w/3 generations - worked out very well. Lots of sleeping spaces & the living room area had plenty of seating. Kitchen had everything we needed. Hanging out on the deck was so relaxing & the yard was great for the kids to play.
Positives included a really nice view and a very secluded serene setting and a convenient layout of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house should have been cleaner, although I realize, because it is dog friendly, that may be almost impossible. Small aircraft airport nearby. House being built below. No shore access. No hot tub. Deck needs refinishing.
Wonderful home, beautiful views and fully stocked supplies in the kitchen. My family and I stayed for a weekend and really enjoyed sitting on the deck and grilling. It’s a really enjoyable place to stay and it was perfect for what we wanted! We did have an issue with entering the home when we discovered that the deadbolt lock cannot be opened from the outside with the key. The key just spins and spins… we eventually (luckily) got the door open after trying for several minutes but the key definitely needs to be replaced. We also noticed some minor areas did not seem clean… the refrigerator shelves were sticky and food debris was left inside. The wooden countertops were also sticky. We cleaned them ourselves easily enough but it did make me wonder if the cleaning crew missed anything else in the home. Overall a great home and a good experience.
We loved our stay. So relaxing and also lots of playful activities. Great view. We love Orcas island!
The property is lovely and well located (about 10 minutes’ drive to Eastsound). Beds and sofas are super comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. The fire pit is a nice gathering place and the view from the large deck is beautiful! We had planned on putting two teenagers out in the sleeping cabin but it is not really workable this time of year. No screens on the windows and mattresses are small, so we made do in the main house for sleeping. It looks like a fun space though, that they are developing.
The house and view are beautiful. However the septic system is failing, toilet downstairs needed to be plunged often which I believe the owners are aware of since a plunger was sitting next to the toilet. The smell at times needed open windows despite the weather. Reached out to get no response, really didn't want to leave this review because if they could fix this issue the place was fantastic.
