Maggie's Getaway, one of the quintessential San Juan Islands vacation rentals, on Orcas Island is a sunny, gracious two bedroom waterfront family vacation home surrounded by spectacular views of Deer Harbor. Large 400 square ft. kitchen very well stocked. Large hot tub right off the front porch, with a magnificent water view! There is even a piano for you to use in the spacious living room.
Maggie's Getaway can accommodate up to 4 guests including children; however, there are two additional bedrooms in this house and a second bathroom upstairs which can be rented if a group needs more space. Otherwise, there is no one else in upper floor bedrooms. Maggie's Getaway has a two night minimum other than during the Peak Seasons, when there is a 3 night minimum stay. When larger groups rent the whole house, there is always a 3 night minimum stay
Step out onto the welcoming front porch or into the command view outdoor Spa, where you can relax and look at your own picture postcard vistas of the smaller San Juan Islands and the snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the distance or at night gaze at myriad of stars in the sky and the twinkling anchor lights of the boats at rest in Deer Harbor.
Maggie's Getaway sits high above our private 300' wide deep water Deer Harbor shoreline on 3 ½ acres with ample manicured lawns. Soak in the sun, clean air, and sweeping views from the bird-filled gardens. Keep toasty around the outdoor campfire while watching for Northern Lights under the star-filled sky at night. Hike through our private 110 acre wildlife preserve and wild natural organic farm at the heart of Deer Harbor and look for Great Blue Heron, Bald and Golden Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks, Osprey, River Otters, Raccoons, Black Tailed Deer, and a host of other San Juan Islands wildlife. A birders’ delight!
With this Orcas Island accommodation you may actually want to prepare your own meals. Whether you like to cook your own crab, barbeque your own salmon, steaks or like to cook hot dogs over the open fire you will like the west side of Maggie's outdoor cooking area and campfire pit.

We have yet to make it to this spot! We had to cancel at the last moment and Meg offered over the phone to allow us to re-book this February, using the credit from our canceled trip. However, we haven't heard back yet, and would like to proceed with this offer and check out this lovely looking spot. Please email, Meg! Thank you.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is lovely and very spacious. Hot tub overlooking the water was a treat! We'd definitely stay again.
The house was in a great location in proximity to Turtleback hiking areas. The view was great from the house and when we had a minor issue with the heat, the owners were extremely quick to respond to us and have it fixed. Overall it was a great stay.
This place is completely worn down and has been severely neglected for far too long. Very little has been updated for at least 15-20 years, possibly way longer. There are literally holes in the bathroom floor. Holes in the ceiling that have been boarded over. Cobwebs and spiders in most corners. Dirty, dusty, dingy, faded, and outdated. Bedding is ancient, worn and musty. The beds are absolutely horrific -- worse than camping on the ground on my sleeping pad. We all had terrible sleep and sore backs after two nights. The couch and the arm chairs in the living room were so worn down and missing any cushioning that it was impossible to sit on them for more than 10 minutes without discomfort. The hot tub is so dilapidated and grimy that we didn't dare use it. There are no blinds, only sheer curtains in one of the bedrooms, so my daughter woke with the sunrise. The deck boards on the wooden deck are so worn down that my daughter got several splinters from them. This place is a sham and the owners should be ashamed of making money off of this place. It's time for them to either put some money back into it or sell.
I dont know about you, but I am over the expectation of composing these reviews. It has become tiresome.
We had a great time. We were able to unload at the marina next door, by asking permission from Nick. The house was a great for four adults. We cooked all our meals there, played games and sat in the hot tub. Great location with wonderful views. The dogs were fun too.
Had a wonderful stay at Maggie's with my two friends. The place was HUGE and very comfortable. View was amazing too, and watching the seals frolic in the bay was a highlight.
Very old house with a very modern large kitchen. Idyllic setting with amazing views! Great place to reconnect with nature and recharge. Enjoyed the birdwatching and watching the wildlife-and the 2 very friendly dogs that came to visit!
The location is just wonderful and the house is really nice. Huge kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Locating it in the dark can be a challenge. Loved the fire ring and the daily visit from the sweet Sunny.
Maggie’s Manor was perfect for our family of 4. We spent most of our time exploring the island, hiking and boating. It was a great base camp with a huge kitchen to make our meals and a hot tub to warm up and relax in! It has a beautiful view of the harbor. The kids enjoyed walking up the hill to the play set. The dogs do come visit often but are quiet and friendly and the owners asked first before letting them out. The place could use a coat of paint and some updating but nothing that impacted our stay at all. It’s a 15-20 minute easy drive to East Sound where you’ll find restaurants and grocery stores. Meg was very helpful with all of this information before and during our trip. We’d recommend for your next family stay!
We had a lovely time staying at this property on Orcas. The house is very cozy and comfortable. The host family was super quick to help resolve the few house quirks that came up upon our arrival. The property view is stunning. And the small town near by has awesome shops and great food options. We look forward to our next trip to Orcas.
Guests be warned: **You will not be provided with a key to the property, it will remain unlocked.** You will also be met with rudeness. The cleaning requirements at check out are extensive. We also made over a dozen separate trips to the basement to get the furnace rebooted every time it turned off (per the instructions left to guests to do this because their heating system was faulty). We eventually had to contact the owners as it was not working, the outdoor temps were in the low 30's, and we were uncomfortably cold. Really took away from our quality family time. We received a welcome message that said The door will be unlocked and the key will be on the table. We arrived, went in with our bags, and searched for a few minutes and didn't see a key. The owners listed their numbers on laminated sheets inside. I texted both cell #'s and received no response. I called the home # and the husband answered and I explained we couldn't find the key. He sighed and said, Well you're inside the house now, so what's the problem? I said, Yes, but when we leave during the day we'd like to lock the house with our stuff inside. He aggressively said, What do you want me to do come sit inside the house with your stuff while you're out?! I was shocked he said this and told him no, and again explained I was inquiring about the information that they had sent us. He then told me that they've never locked their house, that I'd misunderstood, or maybe that his wife had sent that message not him. He promptly got off of the phone by saying his wife would call me. She and I spoke and she went on about how safe it is where they live and I said that regardless of that it is a liability issue for us to not be able to lock up at the place we're renting. **THIS IS A TOTAL LACK OF TRANSPARENCY TO GUESTS! IF WE HAD BEEN TOLD UP FRONT THAT WE WERE BOOKING A RENTAL THAT WE COULD NOT LOCK (+ fautly heating), WE WOULD NOT HAVE BOOKED IT!** When you're paying someone hundreds of dollars, locking the door is a basic function, not an optional amenity. Any seasoned traveler knows how commonplace it is to forego a key for keyless entry, but not bring provided a key AT ALL is ludacris. The views are lovely and there is dog poop all over their yard. They live up the hill and send their dogs down regularly to potty during your stay, but the dogs were not cleaned up after. The hot tub is nice. BYO shampoo & conditioner, none is provided.
Loved this home with gorgeous views of Deer Harbor. Comfy bed, lots of windows to let the sunshine in, and a well-appointed kitchen. You need to stay here!
Great Stay! We really enjoyed our time here. The hot tub and view was amazing and completely worth it!
Meg and Bob were excellent to communicate with before and during our stay! They are seasoned professionals and it shows. The house was as described with one minor change (the playground was moved up closer to the main house vs right off the property). The hot tub was a dream! There was tons of space on the property and plenty of room in the kitchen. Oh that view!!!! There are some, but not a lot, of 3 prong outlets, so if you need one I’d suggest barging an adaptor. The bathrooms are older and functional. The downstair’s toilet is so close to the wall it required some creativity for full grown adults. The neighborhood was quiet and there is a solid pizza place on the other side of the marina, A very pleasant stay was had by our whole group. We would happily stay here again.
The Connor's are amazing and welcoming hosts. The property is in a quiet area of the island, perfect for bike rides and wildlife. This huge property has trails all over, including going down to the estuary. Lots of birds and yummy blackberries to snack on. Our favorite part of the house is the deck where we ate breakfast and dinner, but the shady view on the other side of the house was a close second. We rented the entire house, plenty of room for our group of 8 adults. Loved it!
Great place to get away.
