*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. *** Welcome to “The Heart of It All,” a hidden gem in a cozy, quiet little neighborhood in the heart of Eastsound! This two-story craftsman home is perfect for a long family holiday, a weekend getaway, or a new work-from-home paradise with fast FIBER internet and multiple office nooks. Just across the street from “The Heart of It All,” you’ll find Eastsound’s Waterfront Park which is perfect for picnics! Nearby, you'll find Crescent Beach and Crescent Beach trail where you can rent kayaks and canoes. This perfectly appointed home is just a short 5-minute walk to the historic village of Eastsound, Orcas Island’s downtown district. This walkable village bustles with life—a visitor’s dream of galleries, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, and a history museum. Historically, it was the center of Coast Salish tribal commerce. Now, locals and visitors enjoy its natural beauty and quaint charms. After spending a day whale watching, shopping, or hiking, you can relax with a massage, delicious meal, concert or play, or head to the seasonal farmer’s market. Just a beautiful 10-minute drive from "The Heart of It All" is the highly recommended Moran State Park. The park offers over 50 miles of trails for hikers, mountain bikers, and horses. Seasonally, the two lakes located within the park allow non-motorized fishing. While visiting the park, you can take a 15-minute drive to the top of Mt.
