About this house rental
*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
Welcome to “The Heart of It All,” a hidden gem in a cozy, quiet little neighborhood in the heart of Eastsound! This two-story craftsman home is perfect for a long family holiday, a weekend getaway, or a new work-from-home paradise with fast FIBER internet and multiple office nooks. Just across the street from “The Heart of It All,” you’ll find Eastsound’s Waterfront Park which is perfect for picnics! Nearby, you'll find Crescent Beach and Crescent Beach trail where you can rent kayaks and canoes.
This perfectly appointed home is just a short 5-minute walk to the historic village of Eastsound, Orcas Island’s downtown district. This walkable village bustles with life—a visitor’s dream of galleries, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and a history museum. Historically, it was the center of Coast Salish tribal commerce. Now, locals and visitors enjoy its natural beauty and quaint charms. After spending a day whale watching, shopping, or hiking, you can relax with a massage, delicious meal, concert or play, or head to the seasonal farmer’s market.
Just a beautiful 10-minute drive from "The Heart of It All" is the highly recommended Moran State Park. The park offers over 50 miles of trails for hikers, mountain bikers, and horses. Seasonally, the two lakes located within the park allow non-motorized fishing. While visiting the park, you can take a 15-minute drive to the top of Mt. Constitution with breathtaking views of the entire Puget Sound area.
You and your family will have access to the ENTIRE house plus the community open space with picnic shelter and stone fireplace. This two-story craftsman has 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms with a maximum occupancy of 5.
Upstairs you will find a queen bed master bedroom.
Also upstairs is a second bedroom with a full-size lower bunk and a single upper bunk.
Downstairs you will also find a full-size sofa bed. All beds have professionally laundered and high-end luxury linens.
Each bathroom comes fully stocked with eco-friendly soaps, professionally laundered high-end hotel grade towels, washcloths, and hair dryers.
The fully stocked kitchen provides all the amenities to ensure a seamless cooking experience.
SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES:
Perfect home for families.
Safety grip bar for shower.
Washer and dryer.
Fast FIBER internet and Wi-Fi, printer, multiple office nooks.
Keyless entry with smart lock.

Beautiful little cottage in a quiet garden setting, just across the street from the beach. The house is lovingly furnished and exceptionally well-equipped. Beds, sheets, towels all first class. We have stayed in hundreds of such properties and this is one of the best. Highly recommend.

This is a very nice small house, with an efficient floorplan. The kitchen was very well apportioned, and was probably the best overall kitchen I've experienced in a rental home. The check in was easy, and the door code made everything simple. The only issue I had with it is that the beds are very hard and not especially comfortable. That's a bit of a problem for a place where you want to sleep for several nights. Softer mattresses would really put this place over the top.
