We had a wonderful stay! My mom, sister, 9 year old niece and I stayed for 4 nights in early April. This home was comfortable, cozy, and best of all has sweeping views of the water from all parts of the main living area. It was also super clean, nicely appointed, has a great kitchen, quiet bedrooms, and communicative host.We enjoyed mornings sipping coffee and cozy evenings doing a puzzle by the fire, and in the daytime we took many adventures around the island—whale watching, shopping in town, driving to the top of Mt Constitution, seeing a piano concert at the performing arts center, and so much more. This was the perfect home base—just a short 10 min drive into Eastsound, 2 min from the Rosario dock, and 5 min from Moran State Park. It doesn’t get much better! We fell in love with Orcas Island and hope to return!

Magical Stay

Island Myth is a beautiful, cozy place. The views are amazing, and we sat by the fire, looking out the windows much of the time on our stay. We truly relaxed there. We had everything we needed, with a fully stocked kitchen, and the beds were so comfortable. We walked down to Rosario, and loved that we were so close to Moran State Park! Highly recommend!!!!

Delicious. Scrumptious. Cozy

Our first morning greeted us with a pink/rosy dawn tinging a glorious, indeed enviable view of the water as we drank our first cup of coffee, with a warm fire keeping us snug. A short drive to ‘the town of East Sound or Rosario Resort occasionally beckoned, affording us quality coffee or cocktails as desired. But really, why leave this comfortable and well appointed home once you have enough food and beverages at your disposal?

The kitchen had all the amenities necessary for cooking meals. The hosts were very helpful and provided excellent communications that helped make it an easy place to find, stay, and relax.

Orcas Island Gem

We spent a long weekend at this property for my 40th birthday and it was everything we had hoped it to be! The view alone is worth staying here - it is amazing regardless of the weather - rain or shine. The property was very clean upon arrival and was a perfect fit for our family of four with two young children. The location of the property was ideal as close to outdoor activities, downtown Eastsound, and Rosario resort. We definitely didn’t want to leave and will hope to come here again when we return to Orcas!

Rosario is a pickup point for Shearwater and Deer Harbor - sea kayaking and whale watching 5 min away! Views from property are spectacular although no beach access. Well equipped kitchen and 15 min from Eastsound grocery stores. We fell in love with Mountain Lake. Wonderful loop trail for walking/running followed by a swim in the lake.

Perfect Vacation Home

We stayed for a week in this lovely vacation cabin overlooking Orcas Sound. It was very quiet here, broken only by the occasional sound of a landing float plane. The cabin is equipped with everything one might need - from the kitchen to the bathroom and bedrooms. The wi-fi and TV systems worked flawlessly. The deck is very spacious and the views spectacular. We even had an occasional visit from an unafraid forked horn buck, still in full velvet - beautiful. The cabin is within easy reach of anywhere on the island and we explored it from end to end. Really nice hiking trails at Obstruction Pass State Park. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the island.

Meh…

House was ok - the windows were super dirty though, which was a shame because the view is spectacular. Deck was dirty, covered in pollen and dust, so couldn’t spend much time out there. We were super disappointed in the town as a whole because nothing was open! Restaurants and shops are still closed Mon-Thur, which was when we were there. Assumed that since it was spring break, that more would be open. As a result, we had to have most of our meals at the house. Spent lots of money to just sit and watch Netflix all week! 🙁
