Orcas Island Getaway @ West Sound

Bask in the charm of island living at this sun-kissed modern farmhouse, nestled on nearly two acres in the heart of West Sound on Orcas Island. This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with over 3,150 sq.ft. invites you to savor the tranquility of island life while enjoying all the comforts of a luxury vacation rental.

Step inside to find a spacious living area, where a gas fireplace and large TV provide the perfect setting for cozy evenings. A chef's dream, the kitchen features a 48" 6-burner Wolf Range and a striking wood island, all set against the backdrop of panoramic views of West Sound.

Each of the three bedrooms offers a restful haven, with the main suite boasting an en suite bathroom complete with an oversized shower with a relaxing rain head fixture. The guest bathroom impresses with an oversized soaking tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of island exploration. Radiant heated tile floors add a touch of luxury to your morning and evening routines.

Downstairs, an entertainment area awaits, equipped with a Brunswick billiards table, ping pong conversion top, and a comfortable seating area with a leather couch and chair, TV,  Bose stereo, and a massage chair. There’s also a half-bath, wet bar, and wine fridge on hand for your evening soirees.

Step outside on the main level to enjoy southern exposure that floods the oversized deck and backyard with sun all day long (see our comments around water conservation here). Fire up the KitchenAid BBQ grill for alfresco dining, or gather around the propane fire table as dusk falls. Comfortable Adirondack chairs await you by an amazing wood-burning fire pit, nestled amidst a blossoming flower garden with views of West Sound across to Shaw Island.

Enjoy the majesty of a mature Garry Oak tree in the front yard and the breathtaking views in the rear of the home with sailboats and ferries passing by in West Sound. Just a 5-minute walk away, you'll find the county dock and a popular Orcas Island restaurant, Kingfish at West Sound, for fabulous dinners. You're also conveniently located within a stone's throw from West Sound Marina and just 5 minutes from the Orcas Island Winery, offering delightful wine-tasting experiences.

Other items for awareness around your stay

MAINTENANCE:
Landscape maintenance will likely take place during your stay, which includes watering the flowers & plants, weeding the flower beds, trimming plants & flowers, etc. Your privacy is of utmost priority and any maintenance visits will be scheduled in advance (i.e. we’ll try to coordinate landscape maintenance by us or contractors during times you are away from the home exploring the island) to minimize any intrusion to your peaceful retreat.

GARBAGE & RECYCLING:
This property has a Garbage and Recycling dumpster behind a closed gate at the parking area. There will be periodic visits by contractors to consolidate trash and recycling at this location from our other properties (i.e. trash and recycling collected from smaller cans at our other locations and brought here for pick-up by San Juan Sanitation). Garbage and recycling pickup at this location is every other week on Tuesday mornings. We’ll provide details for any guests staying during a pickup week on with details for the trucks to access on the scheduled morning pickup.

GRASS DORMANCY DURING THE SUMMER

Orcas Island Getaway @ West Sound is nestled on nearly 2 acres of land, and much of the property is comprised of a grass lawn. We want to share with you our commitment to water conservation and sustainability, especially during the summer months, and the reason for these efforts.

Our home is part of the West Sound Community Water system with dozens of homes relying on the water being served by the community well. With water being a shared resource with many neighbors, we have adopted responsible water usage practices with this shared resource and we do not water our grass lawn.

As a result, during the summer months, the grass lawn will become dormant (turns from green to brown) due to lack of rain. Pictures of the exterior/landscape in our listing descriptions are taken during the summer months in order to most accurately represent to prospective guests what to expect with the lawn during their time, at this property is only available as a vacation rental during the summer months when there is little rain.

Our focus is on nurturing our vibrant flowers and plants around the property which requires much less water than over an acre of grass lawn would need. This approach allows us to balance the beauty of the landscape while also minimizing water usage from the water system and our community of neighbors. We also use water catchment barrels from the roof gutter to use for watering plants/shrubs/flowers when we do have periodic rain during the summer.

Rest assured, you will be surrounded by the natural beauty of trees, plants, shrubs, and vibrant blooms, creating a picturesque and tranquil setting for your vacation, but the grass will likely not be the vibrant green it is during the wetter months of the year (this image is the landscape during the springtime).

Thank you for joining us in our commitment to sustainability and understanding of these efforts.
