Dog friendly hideout 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! We now ALLOW one small fur baby. The dog must be no greater than 15lbs. The dog is not allowed in the backyard garden and is not allowed to run freely in the neighborhood. The dog is not allowed on the furniture (unless it’s on the deck) or bed. Strongly recommend getting the extra insurance when bringing a dog.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

My wife and I were looking for a great getaway in the San Juan Islands and this was the right pick. Pictures are accurate, waking up to the sunrise on the bay was rejuvenating. We found a few strawberries in the garden that were peak flavor and I had to marvel at how great the location is. The house is cozy, has a nice aesthetic and you can feel how deliberately the hosts care for it.

We recently stayed at Robert and Kim’s home with our family and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The home is beautifully appointed and exceptionally well cared for. The spacious deck, with its generous and comfortable seating, quickly became a favorite spot. The overhead heaters were a thoughtful touch, allowing us to relax and enjoy the water views in the early mornings and late evenings.The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare and cook meals, the beds are cozy and comfortable, and the bathrooms are beautifully updated. Everywhere you look, it’s clear how much love and care Robert and Kim put into their home—the details are impeccable. The gardens in the courtyard are simply breathtaking and add to the charm.This is truly one of those rare listings where the photos don’t do it justice. Robert and Kim were also very responsive and helpful during our stay. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Orcas Island!

Anniversary getaway

We had a lovely stay in Doe Bay. Rob was a fantastic host, communicated diligently, and ensured that we had everything we needed. Orca's has some incredible restaurants, hiking, kayaking, and views. It's an easy place to get around and it was an ideal time of year to visit. The location is fairly remote, which was exactly what we wanted. Night bring many deer onto the road so it was necessary to go slow and be very cautious driving to and from the house.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
