Orcas Island, Il Cheto #279
*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
Welcome to a quintessential Cape Cod style Orcas Island escape; a property suited for gatherings with family and friends or an equally fitting getaway to relax the mind and exhale from the world an ocean away… it is il Cheto- where tranquility awaits.
With the shades up, the light-filled home allows you to bathe in sunlight while the expansive windows frame a picturesque setting from nearly every room. Enjoy breathtaking scenes across Doe Bay or watch others sharing in a game of croquet or cornhole on the lawn.
Stay connected… if you like… Il Cheto boasts state-of-the-art, in-home streaming and entertainment options with upgraded wireless hardware for enhanced island connectivity. Enjoy the option of watching your favorite programming in separate rooms for the times when being away keeps you together! Both entertainment areas are brought to life through Sonos audio systems. Or if you desire, listen to your playlist or podcast by syncing all Sonos devices across the house. Simply download the Sonos S1 app to your phone and choose “connect to an existing system”.
If you prefer to unplug, the tastefully decorated home offers numerous areas to relax. The living room is a lovely gathering area with a fireplace and plenty of cozy seating for the perfect place to lounge. Adirondack chairs and additional outdoor seating enable guests to experience the view from anywhere on the property.
In the kitchen, gather around the peninsula or help the cook use the well-equipped appliances. If someone in your party wants to try their hand as the grill master, move the fun to the outdoor patio and dine al fresco (grill master not included).
This family-friendly property sleeps up to nine guests. The master bedroom is outfitted with a comfortable king-sized bed and generous closet. The middle bedroom includes a queen-sized bed and a private entrance to the house. The third bedroom has two twin-sized beds and plenty of built-in storage. The main house guests share a full bath with ample storage. The additional bunkhouse includes a queen-sized bed and another full-sized bathroom.
The media room provides a fold out futon with full-sized mattress for additional sleeping accommodations.
The utility room, equipped with brand new front-loading washer and dryer, is conveniently located right off the patio, making it easy to clean up after a day at the beach. The utility room is also equipped as a half bath.
Whatever brings you to Il Cheto, we hope you leave with joyful memories and a refreshed mind.
Please note: there is no direct water access from this property. Only three parking spaces are available; additional vehicles cannot be accommodated. Please note that the living room fireplace is the only one that can be used. This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly.

Nice House
We enjoyed the house and found it to be well equipped to entertain a family with small children. The bunkhouse was nice for the grandparents to find a quiet spot. The house was clean and well-maintained. Responsiveness by the property management to questions was excellent. Overall, this was a nice visit.

Tranquil
Lovely view in a very peaceful location. Kitchen is fully stocked and all appliances are high end. Beds are comfortable and bathroom is nice. Home is updated but it is an older home, so those sensitive to humidity might not feel comfortable. Convenient to Doe Bay, Buck Bay and Moran and about 20 minutes drive to Eastsound. No beach access and aside from the gravel roads, no real walking area. Lots of deer!

Quaint cabin
Orcas Island is always wonderful and this past trip didn’t disappoint. Our ferry was delayed 5 hours so we arrived on Orcas late at night.
The directions to the house were difficult for us to follow and GPS took us down the wrong road.
When we finally located the house there were multiple lock boxes and we had a struggle getting the house key out. I think if we were checking in daylight this would have been easier.
The house is partially remodeled and clean but by no means completely updated. The appliances are new but the bathrooms are older.
All in all we had a fun time but probably would not choose this house again.
