Orcas Island, Mt. Baker Beach House, #289

The host was very welcoming and checked in with us almost every day just to make sure we were doing all right and see if we needed anything. The home accommodated our Christmas family gathering of three couples and a baby beautifully. The location is spot on, accommodations are lovely, clean, and so comfortable. This was our second stay – highly recommended!

I live on the East side of Camano Island, facing Port Susan. My views of the water, Cascades, and Mt.Baker don’t even compare. My family from Ca. and Id. Were stunned by the views.The home was exceptional. Clean, comfortable, very accommodating. The well maintained steps down to the beach made many lovely walks along the water. Thank you.

Amazing time with family. Home has one of the best views on the island. We’re going to miss the epic sunrises and wildlife right outside the back door.

The view, home amenities, patio and beach were all ideal for our family vacation. Would absolutely stay again.

This is our fourth stay here and we love it. The views are magnificent. It's close to everything that makes us happy on the island.

Myself and two friends spent a week at this fabulous house. We loved the location! Quiet and peaceful with fantastic views. Easy drive to Eastsound and Moran State Park.

Small 3 generation family reunion with 2 grand parents, 2 parents and 2 kids under 12. Directions and code for door was simple. The home is nicer than the pictures. The main family/dining room is very nice and the wall of windows looks directly at the ocean and Mt. Baker. Access to the beach is easy except for climbing over the drift wood at the base of the stairs. The beach is mostly small smooth rocks. We saw many seals, sea lions, otters, and eagles. We spent time exploring the island, and enjoyed puzzles and card games at the dining table while watching the ocean. The bedroom with the King bed was very large with windows looking at the ocean. The two queen rooms share a bath and were roomy. All of the beds were comfortable and the home was very clean and decorated well. The neighborhood was very quiet, we never heard any of the neighbors. Kids didn't want to leave. Overall a great stay. Only slight downside was communication. We needed to see if the kitchen had specific appliances for the cooking we were going to be doing. Sent email and got a quick response that they would check. Never heard back. We took what we needed, and glad we did.

House was very nice with a beautiful view and a great launch for activities. Town was close and easy to get to.

This is a great place to stay for our family of 4. Beautiful views, easy access to the beach, great patio and deck to enjoy the sights and sounds of the water. House was clean and checkout was simple. I'm sure we'll stay here again.

Pictures don't do it justice. Large windows in the living let you watch the ocean all day. Kitchen well stocked. Everything was perfect.

This is our second stay here and we love the location and expansive ocean views!

Great view of the water and the Mt Baker. Got lucky enough to see 3 orca swim by. Also saw seals and herons. Patio space is nice. House was comfortable with a large living area and master suite. There are neighboring houses but we never saw anyone else. Definitely would stay again.

The photos do not do justice to both the absolutely beautiful view or the gorgeous house. Recent updates to the floors and the furnishing made it even more comfortable for our group. The kitchen was well appointed, the rooms spacious, the access to the water easy. Every sunrise was spectacular and different from the day before. One note, while the house was a zero threshold entry, the shower in the primary is about a foot off the ground. Beds were on the firm side, and the King size bed in the primary had two big body indentations and should be replaced. But even with that, we all slept well and had a fabulous time!

This home was beautiful, peaceful, and very well appointed. The huge windows with views of the Salish sea, Mt. Baker, Vancouver, and mainland Washington were truly the best feature. Watching marine otters, bald eagles, sailboats, hummingbirds, whales, and mountain views from the patio every day was our favorite activity! Great, easy access to the private beach where our 10 year old son played (his favorite feature of the property!). The home was comfortable, clean, had a great layout for my parents who are in their 80s. We enjoyed cooking; even cooked a feast of local seafood from Buck Bay shellfish and had all needed cooking vessels! I’m already dreaming of our return to this gorgeous home! The location was perfect-5 minutes to Eastsound for the market and restaurants, minutes to Moran State Park & Obstruction Pass state park for tidal pools. Located in the best part of Orcas in my opinion. The neighborhood was peaceful with nice neighbors, permanent residents that shared information about Orcas with us. Bonus: pet friendly! Was wonderful that my parents could bring their dog. We had the most amazing week ever-3 generations of family sharing beautiful experiences of a lifetime together! We never turned the tv on- only soaked in what nature gifted us with and truly lived in each moment with gratitude. Thank you, wonderful hosts! We are grateful for your generosity in offering this special home. Your home was my favorite of all of my travel experiences.
