We loved how centrally located The Craftsman is to East Sound activities, beaches, restaurants, etc. Top priority for us as travelers to Orcas. We also love that four people can occupy with everyone being happy!

Property was as advertised. It had everything we needed for a week-long vacation. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Friends from grade school, now in our 50’s, enjoyed a quiet and relaxing four days. Nice easy walking path to town, plenty of good restaurants (one person was gluten free and restaurants were knowledgeable!) house was lovely with plenty of room for alone time if needed. Hiking trails and views galore! It was a wonderful time.

We loved the central location on the island as we came to hike. We enjoyed being able to walk into the small village but were disappointed that most things were closed or had very limited hours while we were there. The home is in need of some updating of the living room and outdoor furniture as well as some indoor painting of the woodwork. Cleaning of the floors needs to be improved.

Clean, roomy and delightful! The “garage” area was perfect for our bikes. Easy walk to town, restaurants, and kayaking.

Awesome house. Very spacious and comfortable. Pro tip: There is a path in back for a short walk to town Don’t miss the historical museum also. And the crab bisque at the Marina bar and grill is spectacular

Loved the setting. The house clean, inviting and super cozy as described! I wish we had more time yeah and perhaps a little more sunshine,
This place is worth exploring a few more days
Would be back and stay in your home next time for sure. Thank you for sharing

The house has a great floor plan for a group or family with teens. Can’t beat the location. Walk into town or the beach in 5 minutes on the enchanted trails!

We enjoyed staying at this property very much. The only trouble we had was with the key pad to enter the front door and lock up when we went out. It took several attempts each time we used it for it to accept the code.

Wonderful house, clean, great beds, and walking distance from downtown.

This was the third time I’ve rented this beautiful home in January or February, which has to say something ! I would buy this place in a heartbeat. With the cozy fireplace, well designed lighting and fully equipped, full size appliances it is perfect even if it’s rainy … but THIS time the weather was unusually nice. I’m sure it’s very nice “ in season” but Orcas Island is much too crowded in summer.

The house was very clean, with nice furnishings. However, the oven didn't work and the outside lighting was terrible. The stone walkway was uneven and the motion detecting lighting is poorly placed, forcing you to walk in the dark across an uneven surface.

Overall our stay was great and comfortable. The issue we had, which really bums me out is the lack of communication from Vacasa. I would have personally messaged the owner if there was a possibility, so instead, I hope she sees this. Prior to our arrival, I confirmed with them twice that there is a pack n play in the house and upon arriving late at night after a 16 hour travel day with our 9 month old, there wasn’t one at the house. I contacted Vacasa probably 6 times and each time they told me they’d “check on it” and never responded back, not even 7 days later. I finally gave up after 3 days. We are on an island in the middle of no where and had to scramble and have our family reach out to Facebook groups to try and get us a PP for our 9 month old. I have had problems with Vacasa in the past like this where they just stop responding instead of actually helping. Being an owner of 4 rental properties myself, I would highly encourage the owner to get a new management company. It too cute of a place to have such terrible service. Everything else was great, the house was super cozy!

My family enjoyed our stay here. Easy access to Eastsound and plenty of space for our family of four.

The property was great, perfectly situated for walks into the little town, right in the middle of the Island for easy drives or bikes to other areas. Clean, well appointed, very comfortable. Was great for us - 3 mid-age women who like to hang out together. Looks like would be good for group with kids or teens as well as there was a nice private downstairs area. Highly recommend.

This is the third time staying on Orcas Island. This last time the rental was within walking distance to Eastsound. This made things very convenient to walk to the different shops and restaurants. The house was in great shape, clean and comfortably decorated. The few things that could easily be fixed are the oven, dining chair seats and a tree brushing against the upstairs east bedroom. We weren’t able to turn on the oven and was latter notified that we had to leave the broiler on for 5 minutes before it works. The dining chair seats were not the firmest but still okay and the tree branches by the east upstairs bedroom when the wind blew made some noise. These were all minor compared to the great and relaxing time in the beautiful home. We definitely would stay again!

I’d never run into the situation before where the initial advertised price was nearly doubled on checking out. It’s misleading at the least.

Happy that we choose to spend a week here. This is our 2nd time to visit Orcas Island. Stayed at a resort the first time. Definitely preferred staying at a house vs resort/hotel. It was very cozy, clean and comfortable. The island restaurants as well as the few grocery stores close early. It was great to be able to prepare meals. The living room, kitchen and half bath are located middle main floor. The kitchen pantry has all the basic spices. The home was very relaxing after day of hiking and whale watching. Eastsound was a great location. The property management company had clear instructions to get into the home. No issues with wifi. The day of our arrival we received a message that the home was ready for an early check in. They sent a message to make sure that the home was clean and if there were issues. The house was very spacious. TV was easy to use. There were books, dvds and games. Fireplace in the living room was so nice. Plenty of towels, shampoo, soap! One thing that I will mention is that guest take stairs to get to a 1st floor basement bedroom that has an extra living area and the laundry room. The other bedrooms are located on the 3rd floor. If you have any physical issues walking/climbing stairs this may be something to consider. Eastsound shopping was about a 5-minute drive. Small public beach was a 5 min drive. Moran State Park 20min away. We loved our stay at the Dream Town Craftsman and would love to come back to Orcas Island again.

The property is in a great location and fit our needs well. The house looked clean when we arrived. However when we started using dishes to eat and cook, we had to rewash a lot of them. Particularly the pans, every pan we used had food remnants left on them. The dishwasher also was dirty. Despite that we enjoyed our time. The beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked.

It could've been a cleaner home, obviously a pet was in here before us. Cobwebs on lights. Otherwise a lovely home with amazing kitchen. Very convenient trail to beachfront and cutest little town.
4.0
The proximity of the cottage to town was great, easy walk into town. The street noise was loud. The house was well appointed, but I would place waste baskets in each room. It was easy to get all over the island from the location.

This was our second time staying here and it was delightful. We love the proximity to town and the water and the house itself is great. There are plenty of puzzles, DVD’s and books which is nice, too. We had one small issue but called the number given and someone came out to resolve it that afternoon. Highly recommend!

Great location for hiking and exploring Orcas Island. We could walk into Eastsound, the house was comfortable for a group of six adults, and memories were made.

Favorite close to town spot
We've stayed at this home before and submitted an earlier review. This is our favorite spot to stay in Eastsound, as the location can't be beat (for walkability to town) and the home is lovely, well stocked, and fits our 4 person family (+ dog!) perfectly. Highly recommended!

Great Place, Great Location
Had a girls week getaway and this place was fantastic! Room for everyone and so so nice. Couldn't have asked for a better location either. 3 min walk to town, no need to worry about parking. In the flight path so did hear planes one morning but not an issue. Perfect fall getaway!
