Water View, Impeccable Studio Cottage overlooking East Sound, Walk to Town, Close to Everything!

With stunning views of East Sound on Orcas Island, our charming studio cottage was fully updated in 2019! Just a short walk to restaurants, shopping, and Eastsound Waterfront Park, you can enjoy the sunrise from the deck, cozy sofa, or comfortable queen-size bed in this lovely 300 sq. ft. space. Perfect for a solo retreat or a couple's getaway, our cottage features all-new appliances, quartz countertops, a tiled bathroom, comfy bedding, and new flooring. Your island escape is ready for you 🏝️✨

We offer a contactless checkin with a keypad code for the front door. At the same time, as your host, I am available each day during normal business hours of 8 am- 5 pm, and 24/7 for non-life threatening emergencies.

Perched on a hillside overlooking Eastsound, our charming cottage offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.

🌊 Scenic Setting – Enjoy picturesque water views, tall trees, and a friendly neighborhood.
🏡 Best of Both Worlds – An “in-town” feel with a peaceful, rural atmosphere.
🚗 Convenient Location – The main road below provides easy access to town, with some traffic noise during peak seasons.

A charming island escape, just minutes from shops, dining, and outdoor adventures!

Our cottage kitchen is a spacious area featuring a full-sized electric Avanti stovetop and oven, with a microwave mounted above. 🍳 You’ll find plenty of kitchen gadgets, including a blender, hand mixer, cookware, and bakeware to whip up your favorite meals. Enjoy our coffee bar stocked with Pete's coffee, teas, stevia, sugar, and creamer, along with both a drip coffeemaker and French press. We even have spices and oil in the cabinets! Plus, there’s a full-sized refrigerator and a stackable washer and dryer—just note that there’s no dishwasher, so hand washing is required.

In the living room, relax on the comfy loveseat or swivel chair while enjoying views through the French doors to the deck and water beyond. Curl up with a throw blanket to stream your favorite movies on the Smart TV or play some board games. The sofa also has a pull-out twin bed with linens for an extra guest.

The queen bed is tucked into its own private nook, featuring a sturdy Captain's bed frame for extra storage and a small closet for hanging clothes. We even provide a small iron and board!

The custom-tiled bathroom offers a large shower and vanity with all the amenities you need, plus plenty of towels.

Outside, enjoy dining alfresco at the bistro table and chairs, and fire up the gas BBQ—we provide a full tank and tools, so just bring your secret sauce recipe! 🍔

With fast, reliable WiFi speeds up to 50 Mbps, this is a fantastic 'work-cation' cottage for digital nomads!

Come dream with us at Wild Currant Cottage! 🌿✨

Just perfect!
I had the most wonderful time at this cottage and didn't want to leave! It was perfect for a solo trip - easy to get to town, loveliest view, and all the amenities you would need. Can't wait to return!

Nice cottage with a great view
We had a great stay at Wild Currant and the host is very communicative and was great. The cottage has a nice view and is well maintained. It is right on the edge of Eastsound and was a perfect home base for exploring the island. We hope to stay in Wild Currant again on the future.

Great View and Location
Amazing views from the deck and bed at this property! Would recommend for only two people as the space is quite small. Walking distance to Eastsound made it worthwhile.

Beautiful stay on Orcas
We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was clean and beautiful and easy walking distance to the main part of Eastsound. It was a great getaway while being right off the main road. We loved the space and was perfect to be able to cook, read outside, and explore Orcas. Sherri was responsive and super helpful. Thank you!

Nice, neat, small place
Very clean, comfortable, centrally located accom. Nice view of East Sound. Close to town (walkable). Good for 2 people. Gets noisy when day gets busy (cars, trucks, aircraft) but, you are close to things. Good value for $$.

Orcas
We were totally pleased with the property. Great view, great location, all amenities provided. Beware that most restaurants are closed on weekdays so you may be cooking, but the kitchen overlooks the inlet so cooking was lovely and you have everything needed to make a meal. Orcas is hands down the best San Juan Island for scenery, hiking and relaxation.

Great cottage in perfect location to explore Orcas Island
We loved our stay in the Eastsound cottage. It was close enough to walk into town and centrally located for exploring the island. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We particularly enjoyed the deck to watch beautiful moonrise.

Great Cabin for Couples Retreat
Wild Currant Cottage makes for a great home base from which to explore all the San Juan Islands has to offer. The cabin is well equipped, clean, and comfortable, with an easy walk to town and a short drive to parks, beaches, and hiking trails. The only downside is the traffic noise which is not an issue at night and not enough of an annoyance to keep us from booking again.
