This is our second time at this beautiful Eastsound home. Tranquil, relaxation, amazing views, all the amenities you need and many we didn’t know we needed. Loved to see the deers playing in the front yard. So many great home updates since our first trip here. Jeff also made some great suggestions and we took a private charter whale watching trip that’s was also spectacular. Can’t wait for trip 3!

This was the second time we stayed at Jeff Hanson's house. The second time was just as awesome as the first. The house itself is beautiful and well appointed. But the location cannot be beat. We saw orcas go by one night, and the eagles were in and out of the trees on the property all day long. I can't think of another place where you can watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening from the same chair. I can't recommend Jeff's place enough. If you are lucky enough to get there, I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.

We had a wonderful week on Orcas Island. We have stayed in many different homes over the course of the last 10 years and this house has been the best by far. Spacious, homey and ideally located.
we're already booked for next summer!

I would highly recommend this property we had a large group and had plenty of room to spread out when needed. The views from every window were spectacular! We saw two bald eagles in a tree just outside the house which was very special! The house was stocked with every board game you can imagine which made for lots of fun family nights. The kitchen was large and well stocked with everything needed to cook a large Thanksgiving meal! I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful this property was and how easy it made our trip across the country with 8 people. The host was fantastic and was very responsive!

We loved the location with the 180 degree views of Mt Baker and the islands. The main home is beautifully appointed and rooms are good sized. The guest house worked perfectly for the family with 3 kids, and the older kids loved escaping to the game room. The owner is a photographer, so an extra treat was getting to see his artwork in the house. We were lucky to be on Orcas for a warm spell, but could have used a few fans in the bedrooms, one night was very still.
Still think of our dinners on the deck watching the sky turn from blue to opal to orange. We hope to come back.

Wonderful house. Great views. Convenient to all parts of the island. Highly recommend whale watching and sailing while you are here.

Amazing views, gorgeous home for a large group
We had a fantastic family trip in Orcas, with 12 family members staying at the house. Everything was perfect, highlights of the trip were making s’mores at the fire pit, walking down to the beach, sunset views, nearby walks into Eastsound, and family games on the deck. Highly recommend this home, especially for families.

One of a kind!
My entire family of 12 (my wife and I, 3 kids and their spouses and 4 grandkids) stayed at this property for 8 nights in late June 2022. This property is as advertised. Sleeps 12 comfortably, clean and well equipped with ample parking. The water and mountain views from the rear of the house are spectacular and the sunsets are breathtaking. The landscaping and yard art are beautiful. It is located on the water (with a stairway to the beach) in a private and quiet area close to Eastsound. The game room, board games, hot tub and the large rear yard kept the grandkids busy. We have been fortunate to get together as a family in great houses from Hawaii and Montana to the Jersey Shore. This is by far the best house to date. Highly recommend for all ages!

Bliss on Orcas
Our family came out to stay for a week to celebrate our Mom’s 70th birthday. We had a ton of fun! From the start- flying in using Kenmore air to get the lay of the land to our sunset arrival. The kitchen was well stocked, beds comfortable, and the views spectacular! The kids loved hanging out in the hot tub. If we weren’t coming all the way from Michigan, we would absolutely stay again. Thank you Jeff for all of your help! What a wonderful home you have.

Idyllic
This house was perfect. We had 3 generations. We ate every meal at the house as the view from the house and the patio just could not be any better! This morning we watched a family of otter frolic and feast in the water right outside our window. Having the cottage was an added bonus for us. We were able to enjoy our morning coffee in peaceful bliss🤗. We hiked. We took an excursion with Outer Island Excursions. Took the ferry to SJI. And enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day. This VRBO feels like a loved home! Very comfortable and the VIEW is absolutely incredible!!

Best water view ever
We loved our 5 night stay at Jeff’s house. Our out of town friends stayed in the guest house allowing everyone some “space.” We ate “in” every night, as the view could not be better, and Jeff’s kitchen and barbecue grill made cooking enjoyable.
After hiking or Pickleball each day, we Happy Houred at the edge of his high bank lot. We were lucky to actually see some Orcas swimming in the distance one evening and some seals playing close by. Can’t imagine a better time.

The most perfect home on Orcas Island
Jeff's home could not be beat with regard to location, the gorgeous house and Jeff's responsiveness to every question. There is nothing Jeff overlooked as he appointed his home, especially the beautiful kitchen. We enjoyed cooking and then sharing our meals on the beautiful deck watching the sun set. Also, when the air is clear you have an unbelievable view of Mt. Baker. We were there almost three days before the air cleared (there were fires in BC) and the mountain appeared. What a surprise! We enjoyed the entire property, the cottage is adorable, the paddle boards, the lower patio to drink morning coffee. We will be back and can't wait. Jeff's home was way more than a place to stay. It made our trip!

Incredible Dream House!
My family of 12 had such an amazing week at Jeff's beautiful home. The house and property are thoughtfully designed to enable a group to hang, but also have some solo time if desired. The kitchen was a dream and it is FULLY stocked! We cooked up a storm, had smores over the fire, enjoyed the hot tub, and did lots of water activities just off the beach. The house is also perfectly located a few minutes from Eastsound, so grocery shopping and popping in for a nice dinner was a breeze. We really can't say enough about this place and Jeff was also a treat to deal with. We'll for sure be back!

We had a wonderful trip and I don’t think there is a more beautiful location on the island. The property and gardens are so pretty and we would definitely book again in the future. Bald Eagles perched above us in the back yard. Kids ride their bikes into town. Sunrise to sunset, we loved it!

We chose this beautiful property for a retreat and my clients had the best week of their lives (their words, not mine :). This is 100% the most beautiful vacation rental I have ever stayed at... clean, well appointed, with beautiful views from all of the windows. The location can't be beat as you can walk or bikeride into eastsound or enjoy a boating adventure from the local tour place down the road. The steps down to the beach were my favorite part. I enjoyed coffee on the rocks every morning. I highly recommend Sunset House!

The moment you walk in the front door you know you are really going to enjoy your stay here. You can see right through to the backyard, the Salish sea and the islands. As you step in further you can see the gourmet kitchen. The owner stocks it with quality cooking items and utensils. It’s really a fabulous place. The owner couldn’t be more responsive if you have any questions. We will be back soon!

Everyone in our family was very impressed with this beautiful house, which more than lives up to all of its 5-star reviews. The view can’t be beat, the grounds were gorgeous, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need, the deck was delightful, and there was more than enough room for 8 of us. The property is perfectly situated close to town (Eastsound) yet is very private and felt remote. The owner Jeff was responsive and flexible and everyone enjoyed his beautiful photos all around the home and the guest cottage. The use Jeff’s marina slip allowed us to bring our boat which was the perfect icing on the perfect cake. We all hope to return next summer and beyond.

Spectacular Home
Wow! What an absolutely amazing experience. First, Jeff was very easy and fast to communicate with. The home, guest house and game room were all well designed with plenty of space for everyone to come together and enjoy a quiet book with a view. While the home is walking distance to town, you really feel as if you’re in an area all by yourself. Thank you Jeff for a great experience! We look forward to reserving again next summer.

Truly Incredible
This home is a DREAM. From the moment we first drove onto the property, we were blown away by the house, the backyard, and the view. My family and I have stayed in many VRBO/Airbnb's and have never felt as "at home" as we did here in Eastsound. The house is decorated wonderfully and was the perfect space for our family of six. Everything was spotless when we arrived and the house was stocked with everything we needed for a week of games, cooking, cleaning, etc. Jeff, the owner, was a pleasure to work with and was so helpful in suggesting other activities to do during our stay. There really aren't words to describe how perfect the location of this listing is, and how wonderful the atmosphere of the back yard is. The pictures are beautiful and they still don't do it justice! The sunsets, the hot tub, the waterfront access...you will not regret booking this property and we hope to return someday soon!

Spectacular Eastsound home
We loved our stay in this beautiful family compound!! The views of the water from the windows are amazing and wow you as soon as you walk through the front door of the main house! We used both the main and guest houses for our stay and found both to be exceptionally clean, the kitchens well-equipped, and the beds very comfortable. The owner, Jeff, was extremely responsive to questions before and during our stay and was very helpful in providing recommendations of his personal favorite activities and restaurants on Orcas Island. Jeff emailed us that he was visiting the property the day before our arrival to make sure everything was perfect for our stay....and that it was....PERFECT!! Truly a fantastic home away from home in the most beautiful setting!! Highly recommend a visit here and hope to come back ourselves!!
