Laid-back hideout right next door to Doe Bay Resort on Washington's Orcas Island

Nestled in the quiet community of Doe Bay lies a charming craftsman 2bd, 2ba cottage you can effortlessly retreat into. The tasteful updating is done with propane fireplace, new king sized REM bed with adjustable base in the master bedroom, one side of the bed has a softer mattress while the other side is firm-take your pick. All brand new living room furniture, tasteful decorating , cozy dining area with bench seats and surround windows and the spacious master bedroom has vaulted ceilings displaying vintage SE Asian oars. Andrew Gath design of Seattle helped us with the interior, it is warm. comfortable and classic. Enjoy dining or morning coffee on the New large south facing deck with beautiful water views. High speed internet and Rocu Direct TV in both bedrooms. Wake up to a sunrise over the Salish Sea. Your Island home is part of a small close knit "homestead" community-originally a fishing camp at the turn of the century. Their are 3 full time neighbors and 3 ocassional weekenders-thus are home is more of place to go to savor the peace of the Islands. If having a good ole fashioned whoopee party on the deck until midnight is your idea of a vacation (and who doesn't like that occasionally) than this location is probably not for you. Sound carries and this home has neighbors. I have mult bird feeders around the yard and when one gets quite and still, birds of all sorts will fly right up to you, along with our resident Doug Fir squirrels, Island deer and raccoon although we ask that you not feed the deer or raccoons. River Otters frequently swim by the house!

Perfect Orcas Island stay!
Our family of 4 stayed three nights, and wished we could have stayed longer- the house was beautiful and had everything we needed (including family games and comfy beds!), and we loved the deck with water views and heat lamps for at night.

Fantastic!
I cannot say enough about Orcas Island, this home, and the owners/hosts. Wonderful all the way around. While the property is a bit out of town, it is not that far and is in a lovely spot. Great views. The amenities are nice, with great beds and bathrooms, a wonderful deck to relax on, and a well supplied kitchen. Also, there is a beautiful garden to enjoy. The hosts are generous and very easy to work with. If you are going to Orcas, this is the place to stay.

Rob and Kim were great hosts and shared their beautiful home in Doe Bay with our family. It was the perfect location for us to gather as we spent time with local family and enjoyed the wonders of Orcas island. The views and gardens are wonderful at this happy place.

quiet with a lot of wildlife
Nice place to stay very secluded and quiet. close enough to town that everything is in reach. Very nice furnishings and very accommodating. My 4 year old had smores for the first time in the back yard fire pit and loved his special chocolate sandwich.

We are already looking forward to a trip back!
The location is perfect (my daughter and I experienced a beautiful humpback right at the bottom of the hill), it is secluded without being too far from town and the views are breathtaking, day and night! I can’t say enough good things about Rob and Kim either, they are amazing hosts! We had a pretty rough trip coming in and they were more than accommodating through it all. You will not be disappointed in your stay in this precious little home, I can promise you! -The Amy Family

Beautiful home
This is a lovely home with a beautiful view. The owner was easy to reach and helpful. The outside lounge area is fabulous and heated/covered so can use anytime. It is very peaceful on this side of the island but a bit farther from town if you want easy access to restaurants and groceries. We had a very relaxing getaway.

Beautiful views, peaceful surrounding, and well-appointed house
This was a wonderful experience. Our family enjoyed coffee and talks on the large deck, a well-appointed kitchen with everything we needed, lunch (fried halibut, fries, and cherries) at the local Buck Bay Restaurant, boating tour, and a 1000 piece puzzle at the house. We also had cool nights, great weather, and a fun hammock to boot. The hosts are outstanding; a lot like family.

Relaxing spot
Located adjacent to Doe Bay Resort on the far side of Orcas Island with peekaboo water views (no direct access). Good sized house with amenities including large heated deck, laundry, wifi and streaming, full-size fridge and freezer, and fireplace. Owners live on their boat and offer trips as an add-on via text msg. They addressed a surprise maintenance issue quickly. Detailed checkout requirements make the value for money and 10am checkout a little tricky, but a nice spot overall. Our family of four had a pleasant stay.

We had a great time
We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home. The beds were very all comfortable (we used both beds and the pull out couch) with luxurious linens. The kitchen was well equipped and the views were outstanding. We had 6 people at the house (one age 5) and felt that there was plenty of room. While we didn't get to see any Orcas, we saw plenty of deer, birds, and a porpoise.

Lovely Home and Hosts on Orcas Island
The house was perfect for our stay on Orcas Island. The size and layout of the house was perfect for 3 adults, each having our own sleeping area. The home is perfectly clean with every upgrade and amenity you need in all rooms. You have a wonderful view of the water from the front patio and many windows. We also thought the location was great as it gave us lots of opportunity to explore the East side of the island and park, but with an easy drive to both Eastsound and the ferry. Rob and Kim are perfect and lovely hosts and I would highly recommend staying at their home on Orcas!

Lovely Island Retreat
Rob and Kim's place was the ideal location to celebrate my 50th birthday. My family joined me for the first couple nights, and our teens were entertained with the games and TV options. There is a kayaking outfit (Shearwater) that runs a tour out of Doe Bay resort - highly recommend and so convenient! Hiking, lakes, and shops/restaurtants are within a 20-30 minute drive. After my family left, I enjoyed days of long days of hiking book-ended by lazy mornings in bed with a cup of coffee and evenings on the deck with a glass of wine while taking in the amazing view. The cabin has everything you need to be comfortable, including a well stocked kitchen and lots of extra towels and blankets. Hosts are responsive and very helpful. If you have time for a massage/bodywork while in town, Iona at the Healing Arts Center is a miracle-worker!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful home!
We spent three wonderful nights at Robert and Kim's home at Doe Bay. This beautifully decorated and very comfortable home had everything we needed for a fabulous stay on Orca's Island. The views of the ocean from the bedroom, kitchen, and deck were beautiful,and we enjoyed the local wildlife, too. The fully-upgraded home had plenty of room for all six members of my family. Robert and Kim also kept us updated on information regarding ferry schedules, traffic, and local excursions before we arrived. (We highly recommend Shearwater Kayak Tours!). Thank you, Robert and Kim, for everything!

Little dream spot!
We rented this perfect little treasure for two weeks and it was exactly what we needed and were hoping for. The house is perfectly arranged for a little family or two couples. The master bedroom is huge, the back bedroom is adorable, and both bathrooms are great. The beds are very comfortable and linens are top notch. The kitchen is also awesome and fully stocked - making pancakes for breakfast and seafood pasta for dinner while looking at the water was a dream. We also ate just about every meal, played games, read, and all the things on the huge new wrap around deck with an awesome view. Rob and Kim were also wonderful to work with. We will definitely be back!
