Downstairs, the well equipped kitchen is complete with a bar counter and bar stools for staying in touch with whoever is doing the meal preparation. Nearby is a dining table for indoor dinner seating. If it is a nice sunny day you may choose to eat out on the deck where there is additional seating under a beautiful green sun umbrella, where evening sunsets abound. A short walk down the access road leads to a community beach shared by four homes in the area. This property is also adjacent to the West Side San Juan Island County park with its beach for launching kayaks and having a picnic.

The house is super sweet, very cozy. Nice kitchen with all the amenities. Two bedrooms, double mattress size, comfortable though. An amazing view, right next to a park. Beautiful deck, ample board games and fireplace. We had a great experience!

Incredibly homey with an unbeatable view. Absolutely loved our time there, mostly lived on the deck and even caught a few orca swimming by! Only complaint is checkin/checkout 10/4 instead of 11/3 but would highly recommend the house and can't wait to stay there again.

It is a beautiful house on the west side. The view is spectacular. It was everything as advertised. You could hike down to the County Park or a little beach. We watched the seals from our deck. It is great for friends, couples, or families if you don’t have to worry about little ones out on the deck. We loved it.

The view was awesome. We enjoyed watching the big ships pass by and the west side of the island was so quiet and peaceful. We had a kayak trip and were able to meet our guide at the county park right down the road.

We got there early and were told we could not sit on the deck when we arrived. Property management never called us to let us know it was ok to enter property as she promised to do.
The bedroom is pitch black... with both lights on cannot identify clothing to get dressed.
Front deck is stunning but there is not a comfortable way to enjoy it. There are two very uncomfortable metal lounges with a short cushion on it. No cushions for the other two metal deck chairs??? It was a bust - we paid a lot and left a day early.

As soon as we walked in we were blown away by how beautiful the place was and how incredible the view was! Also the location is perfect: right near Lime Kiln State Park and Lime Kiln Preserve, which includes lots of hiking trails and beach access. The rental also included lots of board games, which we played as a family. We could not have been happier there!

The house was great but we hardly had time to enjoy. Late arrival on the ferry and 10 am check-out on Sunday morning. No time for breakfast. Another night would have been good but too expensive.

While it is really pushing it to state that this property sleeps six, our family of five adults loved the location. Very well equipped, and convenient to Roche Harbor and friends

This was a comfortable house with a good kitchen and a large deck. Easy walk next door to San Juan County park and only a few miles drive to Lime Kiln. Bed was comfortable, Kitchen well equipped. Would recommend for 4 people although listing allows 6, but 2 would be on a fold out couch. Overall, we look forward to staying here again, and found the management company communicative and professional. House was clean. Stove is a little tricky to figure out the first time, use google if you need to. WiFi worked well at speeds of 25mbps.

Just as pictured! Very well equipped rental with a fantastic view and porch. On the opposite side of the island from town, but we seemed to get better weather. We were able to arrange a kayak tour that started directly from the county park next door. Great communication and support from the property manager.

Beautiful, spacious house with an absolutely stunning view from whole front room and deck. Completely fenced in and safe for dog. Kids loved the dart board in the games room. Orcas showed up and we viewed them from the deck. County park and beach a couple of minutes walk away. All in a really wonderful place to stay on the island,

The views were spectacular and ever-changing. Home was beautiful, well appointed and had more than adequate supplies to prep meals. Deck added lovely outdoor space for AM coffee and eve meals. Sofa bed was large and moved to a third bedroom, leaving loft for art and crafts, etc. It is exactly as pictured. Very clean. We wish the fireplace had worked and that there had been more lamp light at nighttime. No noise from county park and its close presence made beach access easy. 10 stars!!

We enjoyed Orca Overlook and it was the perfect location for our trip. Our goal was to spend time whale watching. The San Juan county park is close by and we were able to have a wide view of the straight from there. Lime Kiln was also within a few minutes for spectacular sunset pictures. We took quite a few beautiful sunset pictures right off the balcony of Orca Overlook also! There is a good view of Canada, with sparkling lights for maybe Victoria across the strait. The home had all the amenities and conveniences that we could have asked for. Thanks for the spices and tote bag/ we used it to carry our stuff while we toured the island! Lots of nice touches and very clean. Beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water! Wifi was slow, but usable. Our favorite restaurants were Madrona Bar and Grill, Downriggers and San Juan Island Cheese (really good and unique). San Juan Safaris and San Juan Excursions, both were great whale watching companies - they make every effort to see the whales and we did! Pelindaba Lavender Farm is worth a side trip also! We definitely plan to return! Thanks!

The deck and huge windows looking out into the bay and surrounded by magestic trees make this home the perfect spot to relax. Kitchen has everything you want and need. Linens and beds are comfy and good quality. Gas fireplace is nice, but a little noisy. Would definitely stay again.

A great spot to watch the lights of Victoria, passing ships and eagles. The kitchen was so well supplied that we cooked most meals with equipment similar to ours at home. And the home is clean! It felt good and we will return. Lovely spot.

Beautiful house on the remote side of the island. Beautiful views of the sound. Although the house is listed as having internet, it is unusably slow (probably fine if you're checking email - but torture if you have to work). Only cell coverage is for Canadian providers. So if your goal is to "get away from it all" and Look For Whales, this is the house for you!
