My friends and I had a wonderful stay on Orcas. The house is very cozy and we felt at home immediately. We woke up to a family of otters out front the first day and saw the aurora borealis the second night! A major bonus for me was that there were no strong cleaning scents or perfume smell on linens (I’ve had issues with this at other rentals). The driveway is quite steep but we had still no issue getting up and down whether driving or walking (we just had one car).

Incredible house, fantastic location walking to town, fabulous view, Thank you

This home is a Gem. It's just as pretty in person as it is in the photos. Very clean and well cared for. It's spacious and supplied with everything you would need. Such a charming home that is quiet and perfect for a relaxing getaway. What a beautiful view! I would absolutely return.

We just back from the most relaxing family vacation and can’t speak highly enough of this home. From the moment you walk in, you will feel right at home. The views are stunning and you can enjoy them from almost every room in the house. The house is charming and very well appointed. Because it is an older home, the floors are a bit creaky and, as another reviewer mentioned, sound travels through them easily. It is perfectly located -- just a short walk to the darling town of Eastsound where you can grab groceries, coffee, dinner or pop into the cute boutiques. Check-in was seamless as was communication with the property management company. They even contacted us after checkout to let us know that we had left an item behind and we were able to stop by to get it before leaving the island. If you are going to Orcas Island, you couldn’t pick a better place.

The house is beautiful and peacefully located on the shores of Eastsound. It's convenient to town, but also feels quiet and isolated in the way you'd hope for it to be. Modern updates to the kitchen and bathrooms are a nice touch, and the back deck is spectacular. The host is responsive, the place was clean, and check-out procedures aren't too burdensome. Really nice stay.

We really enjoyed our ten days here at the Juniper House. There were four adults over 55 and we cooked meals in three of our evenings. With that said, if you plan to cook, and you use spices other than salt and pepper, make sure you bring them with you. There were adequate pots and pans and utensils though. The coffee maker requires a #4 cone, they are not provided. There was a handful of dishwasher tablets and adequate laundry detergent, so no need to bring/buy that. They provided a few kitchen trash bags, two rolls of paper towels and three toilet paper rolls per bathroom. For the four of us, the amount provided was just enough. There is a gas grill on front porch and it worked well. As far as things that were just a little irritating about the property; it was down a very steep hill and was a tad tricky parking our larger car. Also, the floors are original and they are very squeaky…..the main bedroom is directly under one of the guest bedrooms and we could hear whispering, talking, walking and snoring from above. So, be aware…..especially if traveling with others. It is NOT private. We were with very good friends so we just told them to keep it down - and that worked very well. Also, there is a fireplace (wood is NOT provided)…..wi-if is spotty at best but it was fine for us. The management company was superb. I only had to call twice (both times about our wi-fi) and both times they immediately responded. I was very impressed. Overall, we were very happy with the home and would stay again. The above mentioned things were just little surprises.

Fabulous location... beautiful property... well stocked... amazing views... just so comfortable!

The house was all it promised. Perfectly located within walking distance of Eastsound with it's cool shops and restaurants, but remote enough to feel so isolated and immersed in nature. The house is pretty much right on the water and you can hardly tell there are any other houses around. All the rooms were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked (except for coffee filters) with stuff, but not food. And you have to bring your own firewood and starters. The outside deck has been replaced I think from the picture but it's very sturdy and there's an added picnic table but no bench around the outer edge of the deck. One late afternoon we were watching the sunset color the sky when a little family of river otters skittered up the bank and then took refuge under the front deck. That was a rare treat to see. the bedrooms all seemed to have their own heating elements so even though it was pretty cold outside, we were very toasty in our rooms. the downstairs big bedoom is very luxurious. Even the towels were soft. One objection I have to the close out protocols was that they wanted me to make sure to wash and put away all the dishes and pots and pans. I can understand putting things in the dishwasher, but I would prefer to know that a professional crew had cleaned the kitchen in this era of Covid, before I arrived and not that I'm relying strictly on the health and compliance of the previous tennant. For all the money they charge for cleaning, you'd think that would be one of the services provided. I would gladly rent this place again. Maybe in the spring next time.
