Love this place
We've been here 3 years in a row now with the kids and we absolutely love it. We'll be back again next year for sure. It's a sanctuary for your sanity, if you're looking to get away from the crowd and enjoy some peace and quiet. But it's also close enough to town if you need to get groceries or want to go out to dinner.

Remote Island Living
Great cabin that lets your really feel like you're away from it all, but still close enough to businesses and restaurants. Worked well for the 4 adults on the trip. There road does get a little questionable after leaving the main highway, but nothing that a standard SUV or truck couldn't handle.

Dusting and text messages
The deer head needed to be dusted as well as a few other places. Cobwebs were hanging from the deer antlers. I don't require constant text messages to remind me of things especially checking out. At times, I felt I was being surveilled

Can’t beat this view!
We traveled with two young kids and we enjoyed our stay. Best part of the house is the view. Honestly it’s more beautiful than we imagined. The big west facing windows make the view accessible from most parts of the house but the downside is that the heat can be stifling during a WA heatwave. The property only has one ceiling fan and a stand alone fan. We struggled to keep everyone cool, especially the young kids. I wish the house provided some sort of shade option, even some curtains or one more fan could have helped. If it was just adults we wouldn’t have minded at all but it would have made our stay 5 stars!

Beautiful view, scary road
House was very clean and quite spacious The instructions for entering the house were inaccurate. Told to use lock box but there is a keypad on the door that took up to 6 tries to open. The listing said TV but it would only work to play DVD,s. There need to be clearer instructions including which remote works. Great pillows, very firm beds and living room and loft seating were not very comfortable. Need more flatware in the kitchen. The road was described as needing 4 wheel drive. We did ok with our AWD forester but it was very dry. I would not want to attempt this road once the rains start.

The Name is SO Appropriate!
The view across the sound is beautiful throughout the day through the almost floor to ceiling windows in the living room and the large kitchen window. Sunset is spectacular! The kitchen is so well equipped from vegetable peeler to stock pot to baking pans! Each room was decorated with style making it feel just like home! Lovely!

The view was true to ad - absolutely beautiful! The drive up was steep but doable without 4WD. Very remote area but only 10 minutes to Eastsound. We would definitely stay again.

Sunsets Over Water was a very relaxing and scenic place to stay.
The owner obviously has great taste and the home was very well decorated and well kept. It was very clean. The sunsets each evening of our three day stay were different but beautiful. I would suggest adding miniblinds to the west facing windows as the warm weather did lead to some warm times in the living room and MBR, but this was manageable. Overall we would definitely recommend Sunsets Over Water as a great place to get away from the bustle of the city. Mark and Dana

Serene location
Doesn’t get better in terms of peace and quiet. Views are amazing from deck, living room and one of downstairs bedrooms. Nice to have a sauna. Very comfortable bed. Well stocked kitchen. Limited toiletries. The drive up is narrow and AWD does provide more confidence, but can be done with a 2WD vehicle.

Amazing Views
My family and I had a great time at Sunsets Over Water! The view was spectacular, and the location was close to everything on Orcas Island (while being super quiet and secluded at the same time!). I typically get very scared on uphill gravel drives, but this one wasn't bad. Definitely have an AWD while staying here. We utilized all the games, puzzles, and additional amenities this cabin had to offer. I worked from home a few days during our stay and the wifi was great! Would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Orcas.

Wonderful getaway
This cabin was in a perfect secluded getaway area with a great view of the other islands. The area is very quiet. The cabin itself is so cute and well done. The washer and dryer was a godsend for a family with two kids! The location of the cabin is very close to the Eastsound “downtown” , so it allowed for the ability for a breakfast or dinner if you didn’t want to cook.

Absolutely stunning view from this property, which is tucked away on a mountainside. The sunsets- incredible. Perfect stay for 6 people. Only one thing I’d change is more cutlery and water glasses.
