I have to say; it pains me to let others know how fabulous this rental is because I know I will be coming back here and they have every reason to justify a price hike. My parents, grandmother, wife, and brother/sister-in-law, rented this place out for a long weekend, and it was perfect. We showed up to an immaculate home that was clean, pristine and fully furnished with everything you could want. Coffee, towels, every single piece of cookware you need, tons of seating. Several beautiful, entertaining areas that are well kept and furnished. This place has it all.
The location is the best on the island because you are within 5 minutes of Moran State Park, which offers a great day for your whole family with swimming, kids toys, and boating. A 5-minute walk down the hill brings you to Rosario Resort which offers massages, facials, swimming pools, dinner and drinks, and even shuffleboard. Go on guided kayak tours out of the resort, or just enjoy some disk golf. We had a blast down at the swimming pool!
The view. OMG. The view is beautiful. You can see down into Rosario resort, hear the laughter of children playing in the pool, and enjoy big panoramic views of the ocean. I think it even overlooks Oprah Winfrey’s new Orcas Island property! The sunsets are amazing, with big flourishes of pink, yellow, and deep blue.
Every single bedroom is well-lit and has two skylights. The master has a sliding glass door that allows you easy access to the deck and a nice breeze while you are sleeping. The lighting in this house is great, but sometimes it can be hard to find the right light switch because there are so many options.
The main living area has some wonderful double sliding glass doors that you can keep open during the day to encourage a healthy breeze and allow easy access to the deck, which is where we spent most of our time. The deck has seating on seating and plenty of places to sun yourself or to enjoy a nice book or beer in the shade.
The decoration of the house was amazing. There are tons of books to read, plenty of channels to surf, even some automated candles that come on in the evening and provide a nice ambiance. All the counters are granite, and the master bath is huge!
Eric was extremely kind and courteous and made us feel very welcome. We will absolutely be staying here again because it gave us everything we wanted in a vacation.
