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! ##### Della M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorenzo A., Seattle Dec 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house, great location, great view! 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! ##### Lorenzo A.

You can count on Shore Thing Retreat to provide you with an exceptional experience! My family stayed for 5 nights as we transition to Orcas Island. The location is close enough to everywhere you may want to be, while far enough to enjoy the tranquility. The amenities in the home far exceeded most short term rentals. The decor is pleasant. It was very clean and comfortable. Shore Thing Retreat lived up to its name! Thank you ##### Beth S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karenza M. Oct 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place!! 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!! ##### Karenza M.

Aug 31, 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Not as advertised 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. ##### tim f. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dianne N. Aug 10, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Shore Thing August 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. ##### Dianne N. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Hotel Port Angeles Harbor](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Angeles-Hotels-Red-Lion-Hotel-Port-Angeles-Harbor.h26694.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Leavenworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Leavenworth.h19979907.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Vancouver.h41770.Hotel-Information) > > [Veranda Beach Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Oroville-Hotels-Veranda-Beach-Cottages.h36653077.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Burlington.h1500732.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Creek Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Olympia-Hotels-Little-Creek-Casino-Resort.h5490123.Hotel-Information) > > [Legends Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toppenish-Hotels-Legends-Casino-Hotel.h64169765.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Mountain View Auburn Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tacoma-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Mountain-View-Auburn-Inn.h5539311.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Arlington/Marysville](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-ArlingtonMarysville.h7985203.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Burlington by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Burlington.h281593.Hotel-Information) > > [Icicle Village Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Icicle-Village-Resort.h1534248.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Crescent Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Angeles-Hotels-Lake-Crescent-Lodge.h4190746.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Suites Burlington near I-5](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Burlington-Near-I-5.h33091850.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Winthrop-Hotels-Sun-Mountain-Lodge.h1212928.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Majestic Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Majestic-Inn-Spa.h1859284.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairbridge Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Fairbridge-Inn-Suites.h63001.Hotel-Information) > > [Longview Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Longview-Hotels-Longview-Inn.h9812150.Hotel-Information) > > [Suncadia Resort, a Destination by Hyatt Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellensburg-Hotels-Suncadia-Resort.h1857788.Hotel-Information) > > [Enzian Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Enzian-Inn.h13279273.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Marysville by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Marysville.h1752897.Hotel-Information) > > [12 Tribes Omak Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Okanogan-Hotels-12-Tribes-Resort-Casino.h10645725.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Marysville](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Marysville.h51830838.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Auburn Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Tacoma-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Auburn-Downtown.h37590454.Hotel-Information) > > [Salish Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Snoqualmie-Hotels-Salish-Lodge-Spa.h4779.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Bellingham by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Bellingham.h13172389.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulip Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Tulip-Inn.h872971.Hotel-Information)
