I would buy this place in a heartbeat. With the cozy fireplace, well designed lighting and fully equipped, full size appliances it is perfect even if it’s rainy … but THIS time the weather was unusually nice. I’m sure it’s very nice “ in season” but Orcas Island is much too crowded in summer. ##### John A J.

We enjoyed being able to walk into the small village but were disappointed that most things were closed or had very limited hours while we were there. The home is in need of some updating of the living room and outdoor furniture as well as some indoor painting of the woodwork. Cleaning of the floors needs to be improved. ##### Susan C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Ron F. 7 Feb 2024 #### Eastsound, Orcas Island The house was very clean, with nice furnishings. However, the oven didn't work and the outside lighting was terrible. The stone walkway was uneven and the motion detecting lighting is poorly placed, forcing you to walk in the dark across an uneven surface. ##### Ron F. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dreamy in every way Such a beautiful house, inside and out, that is a very short walk (along a path) into town. The house itself was immaculate and such a good layout for our family. The main floor is a big open space with a large kitchen, dining area, and living room. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a large bathroom. The basement had another bedroom, bathroom, and living room. My son, who is in college and living in a dorm, was thrilled to have a whole private door to himself. The house was well stocked: games, puzzles, books, movies, and a very well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. The house is in a small community of houses by the same builder -- all are lovely and they are positioned on the property so that you never feel you are looking into someone else's house. The one suggestion I would have is to have someone clean the pots and pans before the next guest. The people who used this equipment before us did not clean them well, and it was kind of gross. We would have probably cleaned everything we were planning to use beforehand anyway, but it wasn't pleasant to see food remains. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dorothy M., Chicago 29 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great stay, cute and cozy home Overall our stay was great and comfortable. The issue we had, which really bums me out is the lack of communication from Vacasa. I would have personally messaged the owner if there was a possibility, so instead, I hope she sees this. Prior to our arrival, I confirmed with them twice that there is a pack n play in the house and upon arriving late at night after a 16 hour travel day with our 9 month old, there wasn’t one at the house. I contacted Vacasa probably 6 times and each time they told me they’d “check on it” and never responded back, not even 7 days later. I finally gave up after 3 days. We are on an island in the middle of no where and had to scramble and have our family reach out to Facebook groups to try and get us a PP for our 9 month old. I have had problems with Vacasa in the past like this where they just stop responding instead of actually helping. Being an owner of 4 rental properties myself, I would highly encourage the owner to get a new management company. It too cute of a place to have such terrible service. Everything else was great, the house was super cozy! ##### Dorothy M.
