Beautiful Vacation

This was our fourth stop on a family road trip and I would have to give it an overall A. We’ve been to the orcas Islands before and absolutely love them, and if you pair that with this house and such an amazing location, it made for an amazing family vacation. House is beautiful inside, everything is first class and was very impressed with how well it was organized. Would definitely give this house and location a two thumbs up and recommend it to others.

Fabulous house and location

Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hooks Nest. It’s a beautiful house in a perfect setting. We struggled, tho, with the high-tech switches for the lights. And we never did figure out how to use the washing machine. Not sure if this was our user problem or something with the appliance.

Hooks Nest = paradise in paradise

This home is easily the best rental we’ve had. Location was prime, the views exquisite, privacy abounds, it is so well stocked and supplied you’d be hard pressed to find a single item missing and with eight adults and one three yr old we cooked, slept, lounged, bbq’d, sat at the fire and admired the views from every angle and never went without.

Incredible Oracs home

We loved staying at Hooks Nest - this was our second year at the home. The house is beautifully finished, immaculately clean, and well-stocked for a comfortable stay. Sherri, the host, was easy to get in touch with. The view at the house is particularly spectacular - we loved looking out at the water from so many rooms. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful!

Amazing rental property secluded on orcas island. Had a family reunion here and thought it was amazing. Amazing amenities and we will definitely be staying here again. I will say on a hotter day (it was record temperatures in July) it can get hot on second floor because there is no AC. We used fans in closet and opened windows at night (cools off down into the 50s) and we were fine, but something to be aware of. Again I highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to orcas. Dave

This property was amazing. The view is gorgeous. Then add in the home is beautiful and very comfortable. There is everything in the home you would need or want. Even more. There were interesting books in almost every room to enjoy. An added surprise. The deck made the perfect place to read and enjoy the stunning water view during down times. The home is close to hiking and kayaking, so in all, this place can not be beat in my eyes. We want to return!

The most beautiful home I’ve been to on the island hands down. Incredible views and architecture of the home. The house came with everything, a great kitchen to cook with, multiple places to sit and relax outside, every bed was so comfortable, incredibly clean, activities like games, everything you could possibly need while on vacation. 100% recommend and would stay here again.

This property is exceptional in every way. The location is quiet and private. There is the occasional fog horn from the ferry, of course, but other than that, this is a very serene place to be.

Even better than advertised!

I cannot say enough about this property on Orcas Island. It was even better than expected, and our expectations were already high. The setting is magnificent - with stunning sunrise/sunsets and ferries going by daily -- but the house itself is the best we've ever rented. It is perfect for a large family, with multiple gathering spaces. The attention to architectural detail and craftsmanship sets it apart, and the kitchen is remarkable. I would rent this property over and over again. Thanks, too, to the super property manager who guided us through check-in and check-out.
