Photos and Description of the Eastsound vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8-10)

Enjoy your vacation in this delightful, lovingly renovated vintage island home! Built by settlers in 1908, it embodies the fascinating history of these beautiful San Juan Islands. The house is centrally located in Orcas Island's Eastsound Village -- called one of the most charming travel destinations in America. Fenced yard with lovely landscaping ensures your privacy, while enjoying proximity to all conveniences. This coastal classic is equally appealing for a romantic get-away, or for a gathering of family and friends.

Stroll to Orcas Island's Farmer's Market and barbeque on your deck, or enjoy a meal in one of Eastsound's heralded restaurants offering world-class cuisine. A bookstore and lattes are just around the corner, and whalewatch tours and/or kayak rentals can be arranged nearby. Walk to the public dock just yards away for boating excursions. Watch sunsets, eagles, and the abundant wildlife around Indian Island. Facing southwest, your view includes the bay, shoreline of picturesque Eastsound, and unmatched island sunsets. Only 10 miles from the ferry landing, and 10 miles from majestic Moran State Park and Mt. Constitution, this location is really the perfect hub for your trip.

Four bedrooms offer lots of privacy, with one bedroom on the ground floor and three upstairs. Master bedroom overlooks the gorgeous view. Fully equipped kitchen with all amenities. Large flatscreen TV's in the living room and downstairs bedroom. Enjoy a drink on the deck and absorb the magic of Orcas Island. We look forward to welcoming you!

(Well-behaved pets welcome).

About Susan Gudgell

We have been on Orcas Island for many decades (in fact Wally grew up here!) so are true islanders. We can suggest not only major travel activites, but little known gems on island backroads. We are raising two daughters here -- no better place in the world!

Susan Gudgell purchased this house in 2006
Why Susan Gudgell chose Eastsound

We have always loved this house as it is an intrinsic architectural element on the charming Eastsound shoreline. We welcomed the opportunity to restore it to its original glory.

What makes this house unique

Sipping coffee or a glass of wine on the deck, breathing in that clear island air, and contemplating the view! We also love wandering around the village, hiking in the Turtleback Mountain Reserve, and exploring Moran State Park. We know many of the restauranteurs in town and love the many delicious varied options for an evening out.

When sitting on the beautiful stone patio, one feels a world away. Yes, just around the corner is the sweet, small town of Eastsound. 3 bedrooms upstairs, 1 down. 1 full bath up, on full bath down. Both have tub/shower combo. Larger, jetted tub upstairs. This home is SPOTLESS and presented like a hotel. Nice amenities. I can't think of a thing this place didn't have. The view from the patio and sun deck is beyond words.

First Trip to Orcas Island

Thank you for helping make our first trip to Orcas Island such a pleasant one. The Homestead was a great place to relax and unwind, and the location was perfect for exploring the rest of Orcas. Thanks again and hope to be back in the future!

My family stayed at the Homestead at the end of November 2012. The house was plenty big enough for us to eat, sleep and play in. The location is ideal on Orcas. It is literally steps from Eastsound and all the shops and restaurants. A short drive takes you to Olga or Doe Bay if you want to explore the island.

One of my concerns traveling late in the year would be the temperature in the house. Well, it is not a concern here! The house was plenty warm, which is great in a big house. There are 2 gas fireplaces that help warm things up and the bedrooms were very warm. For a house that can handle all of us (9) it was still very cozy and comfortable.

We can't wait to return!

A truly beautiful house which served for a wonderful family vacation. We loved it so much we booked an extra night! Lovely kitchen and bathrooms. Great location. The only downside is that to of the bedrooms had bright street light at night shining in them. We made full use of the kitchen and it truly is well stocked with everything you need to cook with.

Owner's Response: We're so glad it was an enjoyable stay! We hadn't heard of the street light issue before and will be ordering new blinds to ensure the nights aren't too bright. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon.

This place is so great!!! Absolutely adorable. This is my dream house...owners have done an amazing job renovating, you can tell it's a house that someone has loved. The decor is fabulous and in keeping with the period of the house. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. The deck is great...I could go on and on. It's very pet friendly, but you'd never know that other pets have stayed her...it's very very well kept. I'd definitely stay here again. We absolutely loved it.
