Great location

We loved the view, spent lots of time watching wildlife from the porch. There is an accessible beach a short walk away, which was nice. Plenty of room inside, and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Father’s Day Getaway

What a wonderful retreat! We enjoyed this very spacious cabin, nestled in the woods and overlooking a beautiful ocean view accompanied by eagles and deer. Easy access to town, nice and private. Great place all around - we can’t wait to come back!!

A Hidden Gem by the Water

We had a fantastic week at the Whale View Waterfront Cottage. The location was absolutely perfect—peaceful, private, and with stunning views we never got tired of. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a family stay. We especially appreciated the outdoor space and the easy walk to the water. It was a great home base for exploring Orcas Island—just far enough off the beaten path, which we really enjoyed. We’d happily return. Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing view & privacy!

This was amazing and we don't feel we could have picked a better house to rent. Perfect for solitude and privacy. Loved the view and wildlife. Watched the local deer, porpoises, seals and eagles. We did go whale watching and from the boat saw orcas just north of doe bay. Only 15 mins from town. We will definitely rent this home again.

Beautiful views, great property conveniently located to Moran Park and Eastsound village. We enjoyed walking down to the beach. There is beach access at the end of the road. We made several meals. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. There is a chunky friendly buck that hangs out near an apple tree. We brought him apples from in town. Loved the house!!! Had a great time on Orcas. Lots of great hiking.

Great location - beautiful views

We have stayed here many times because the house is on a beautiful location. The kitchen is minimal but functional (galley type), the deck and views worth it. Forget the title (you won’t see a whale) but you will see seals, porpoises, and bald eagles.
