All the family loved the stay, the garden was glorious to play croquet on with the kids (supplied!) and they loved running about. Hot tub was also a treat after walking and especially at night to watch the stars. We saw deer and eagles in the garden and just sitting out at any time was a real treat. Would we come back?!

The yard and view is just something else! We’ll be sure to come back here for anniversary trips in the future! ##### Melissa H.

We enjoyed our stay at John and Katie’s home immensely! The house is fantastic. Everything is new and clean. Beautifully decorated. The hot tub was lovely and the yard was so nice to play in! We loved coffee in the morning on the back deck and evenings playing games as a family. The one note I would make is the far extension of the property toward the sound is a very steep cliff down. Our kids are older and understood not to go beyond the fence, but I would have been a bit concerned if we had younger kids in our group. Very close to the market and East Sound village. Overall a perfect vacation! Thanks for sharing your home! ##### Tessa H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Ellen C. Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving getaway We skipped out on Thanksgiving this year with a getaway to Orcas Island. The Ocean View House on East Sound was a lovely spot - close to town, close to Moran State Park, views of the water, quiet. It offered everything we needed - comfortable and cozy hang/living area, comfortable beds, big kitchen for cooking and the outdoor covered porch with fire table and outdoor TV with views of the water was a total bonus. We loved it! Chelsea was so responsive and easy to communicate with when we had questions. Two things to note for future renters: 1) For those of you who, like me, are sensitive to fragrances and perfumes, they do use scented laundry detergent so the towels and sheets have a strong scent. Consider bringing your own sheets and towels, which I have gotten into the habit of doing. 2) For winter renters, the floor is quite cold and it is a "no shoe" house. Good to bring slippers or cozy socks. ##### Mary Ellen C. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana T.

They even left a bottle of wine & fresh flowers. The location was stunning, the property sits on a cliff above the water. Would definitely stay there again! ##### Margaret S.

We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and s’more supplies. Most of our time was spent on the covered back deck with beautiful views of the water where we had fun watching the deer eat apples out of the yard. We also loved giving pets to the two friendly kitties. ##### Felecia B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikki J.

Orcas Island is such a gem and this particular house and place is so special. Thanks for sharing it with the world! ##### Nikki J.
