Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Orcas Island

Carol once again showed why she is the host we compare ALL others to. Her attention to detail and comfort for all her guests keeps us coming back time and again. Thank you, Carol, for always ensuring we have the most wonderful experience each and every time we are there! You are by far and away the best host out there! Brian and Kimberly Charest

We had such a lovely stay. The home is very charming and fully equipped with everything you need to be able to stay in on a rainy day. We loved the location, as it’s right next to a super cute town that has a beach, lots of restaurants and shops and the OI market. Highly recommend this place!

Staying at Jason’s place was a pleasure. He was very responsive and flexible with check-in check out. Kudos to whoever designed and furnished the space. The design was super swanky and really helped us escape for our island visit. The bed and bedding was super comfortable. The shower was spacious with great dual showerheads. Best part is the location as it’s super walkable into town and we found a shortcut where we could take a short walk to the local brewery . Wonderful design great space.

Fantastic stay and delivered the solitude in nature that I was looking for. It was a great way to experience the San Juans. The view was stunning, the access to the beach was stellar, and one of the best ways to spend a few days relaxing. The loaner vehicle was perfect to get us from dock to house. Reminder, for anyone looking to book this airBNB, please be mindful of what you pack and bring as there is no store to quickly run to if you forgot something. Also, you need to pack out your recyclables & non-compostables. Overall, would stay again and have already recommended it to others as an Eco-friendly vacation destination.

Such a gorgeous location- we spend so much time on the deck just enjoying the view and the birds, and the kayaks and cruiser bikes were so much fun! Beautiful open indoor space, with vaulted ceilings and giant slider doors that let sunlight and the glorious view inside. Friendly, responsive hosts- We’ll definitely be back!

What an amazing home!! We loved the cottage decor with all the little nooks to hang out, books and games, telescope, cozy blankets. The views from the living room and patio were spectacular. We spent our mornings watching hundreds of herons fishing in the low tide! Walking down the beach to the southern point was so quiet and peaceful. Then ending our nights back out on the patio with a fire - such a relaxing time. Dawn’s home was also so great for our pup. He loved basking in the sun on the patio and exploring the water just steps away. Driving the short loop toward the ferry is well worth the amazing view of Mt Baker, and we enjoyed a little ferry trip to Lummi island, although the cottage is so comfortable and relaxing, we would have been happy not leaving at all during the day too!

We had our second family reunion with all the kids coming home from college. We stayed at Anika’s wonderful home on Orcas Island and couldn’t be happier with the house, Anika’s attention to detail, cleanliness and Anika’s excellent and prompt communication. This house has a magic that is relaxing, fun, comfortable and reliable. We will be back in August 2025 for a week!

Stayed here for 2 nights, the place was one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed at. The hot tub was probably the cleanest one I’ve seen. We knew about the jets and planes taking off so that wasn’t a big deal. Felt very comfortable and at home

I can’t recommend Emma’s beautiful stay enough! The studio is beautiful and had everything I needed for my stay. The property is peaceful and even though there were other guests staying on the property, my apartment felt private and I didn’t hear a peep. The bed is super cozy, too! I’ll definitely stay here the next time I’m in the area.

In a beautiful spot with views over Lake Campbell we felt right at home as a family of 4. The accommodation is spacious and immaculate, with everything we needed. The gardens are manicured and it was relaxing to sit on the patio and take in the view. Gary and Ginny were great hosts, setting a sofa bed before our arrival and great to chat with Gary as we left. My Erie and Deception State Parks are stunning, with plenty of good walks, great views and an ease short drive from the property. A gem of a place from which to explore.

Sylvia’s place was the perfect stay! She provided plenty of recommendations and the place itself was exactly as pictured. The view is hard to beat and it was such a peaceful place—we didn’t want to leave! We were able to walk to all of the nearby restaurants, so the location was perfect. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Great host. Beautiful view and lovely gardens and wildlife. Great streaming choices. Extremely friendly and helpful

This waterfront inner bay location is an ever changing view of tidal events, birds, and a beautiful garden. Every hour of the day had something different to observe and enjoy. Faces east for moonrise and sunrise views. A lovely setting, kind hosts, and close enough to Edison for dining, art galleries, and a small village stroll. Plus the king bed was incredibly comfortable so sleep was a dream. Recommend adding a visit to Bow Sanctuary sauna and sessions to add a wellness experience.

Peggys was such a wonderful host and a great communicator. The studio was very clem and the location was spot on. It was very close to everything especially the ferry harbor, which was super convenient for us since island hopped everyday. Would recommend and definitely would stay again.

Terry and Kerry are great host. Beautiful garden and property. My Almost adult daughter loved the swing my wife loved the garden and I loved it all. We got a bottle of wine and snack dinner one night. We sat at the little table and eat our dinner. We are from TX where you can’t sit outside for 2 hours and not get destroyed by mosquitoes . As a family we’ve stayed in 50plus Airbnb’s and this one is top 5 we will be back in September for college move in

This place was an absolute dream. Impeccably clean, perfectly designed, and incredibly well laid out—it felt like stepping into a magazine spread. We spent our evenings on the deck watching the sun set over the San Juans, staying cozy with the outdoor fireplace going. Truly stunning. The space had everything we needed and more—thoughtfully stocked, comfortable, and quiet. We also loved exploring the tiny town of Edison—don’t miss the local bakery (we went back twice!) and the brewery/distillery next door made for a perfect low-key night out. No notes—just a beautiful, memorable getaway. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This place lives up to its name, Hidden Gem. With the shrubs and bushes around the property and the terrace give total privacy as well as the beautiful sounds of birds and the odd passing squirrels and deer. Even being above quite a busy street, it is peaceful and relaxing. The apartment is really comfortable and has everything we needed for the 10 days we stayed. The proximity to town as well as some lovely nature walks and easy access to the walk along the Boulevard is wonderful.

Really loved the space and the jacuzzi. The bed was super comfy. Location wise, only about a 10 minute drive to restaurants and about an hr drive to Lake Crescent. I would love to stay here again. Thanks so much Brad. Especially for your kindness and empathy toward my situation while checking out. Couldnt thank you more for it.

Kacie’s place is the perfect landing for a long weekend in Friday Harbor. It’s comfortable, quiet, and clean. The orca lovers will be thrilled with the decor throughout, and Kacie’s financial commitment to supporting research for the critically endangered southern resident killer whales. Highly recommend this spot - it’s close to everything you could need!

This was a really, really great find and stay. Dawn, the property manager, was incredibly responsive and helpful - our only issue was someone who parked in our designated spot, which Dawn sorted out within minutes. Lars' condo is beautiful and well appointed, with many thoughtful touches including coffee and toiletries. One downside on hot days in the absence of air conditioning, however the unit has plenty of high powered fans to help. I would absolutely stay at Lars' place again. Thanks Dawn and Lars!

Katie was a very great and responsive host. We are actually able to get in there a little earlier than expected and we appreciated that. I would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time I am visiting the San Juan Islands. The place was private and yet close to town. There was a great rock covered in moss. That was a perfect meditation spot for me in the early morning. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was above and beyond! It exceeded my expectations.

This condo is absolutely amazing! The instructions for entry were very clear and complete with pictures. We were welcomed into a beautiful space complete with fresh flowers. Alice equipped the home with everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay. She is extremely responsive and promptly answered any questions and accommodated us with gracious hospitality. The condo was peaceful and quiet, but easily accessible to every where we wanted to go. I loved that we could easily walk to Washington Park (don’t miss the loop road). I highly recommend this property!

We had a great weeklong stay at Sunset condo. It was so comfortable and spacious. The view was great and true to the name… the sunsets were awesome. The hosts have really thought of everything to make their guests stay easy. All the thoughtful touches were really appreciated. The full size kitchen has everything you need, the bathrooms are well stocked and the beds and bedding are super comfortable. We really enjoyed walking in the Madrona beach neighborhood and on the public beach which is just a few steps away. This is a relaxing getaway spot. We highly recommend Maryln’s place!

Leith's studio apartment is quiet, yet a walk around the corner from the main street. The views of the East Sound and surrounding landscape from the high up deck are beautiful. The interior is artfully well-appointed and equipped.
