About this property

San Juan Island, Orca Overlook #112

  • *** Please note that this home is pet friendly but certain breeds are excluded. Only dogs are allowed. Please inquire before booking as to breeds and associated pet fees. Two small, approved dogs or one large approved dog only. Two approved dogs with a maximum weight of 90lbs each dog only. ***

    Orca Overlook sits perched on a hillside overlooking some of the most Orca traveled waters in Haro Strait and the Salish Sea. A brand new large deck, surrounded by trees, gives one the feeling of being in a tree house. After you watch the sunset over Vancouver Island in the distance, move indoors to the cozy living room to stream Fire TV (no satellite reception). The home features large windows that look out over the sea, so bring your binoculars.

    The open loft, living room, and kitchen are ideal for enjoying your family vacation together. There are two private bedrooms, one with a comfortable queen-size bed and the other with a full-size bed. A third room has a pull-out queen sofa bed. There are also two full bathrooms (one with shower and one with tub) on the main floor.

    The kids and family will definitely enjoy the loft which is set up to be a game area, complete with a round card table and dart board. 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.

A sublime stay for a weekend getaway! The house had quality furniture and bedding, none of the falling apart IKEA leftovers that often populate these rental houses. Everything was clean. The view was worth a million bucks. The stove added a cozy feeling after a day explore the Island in the crisp spring air. Small fenced in yard out the front door was perfect for our dog to go to the bathroom, however not a yard to play in. I would bring more of my own supplies for the kitchen, It had all the tools you would need, but it lacked some basic essentials like morning drinks ie. tea and coffee. They had a Keurig but only had a couple decaf capsules and onetime use creamer in the fridge. Nothing that cannot be solved with a grocery store run. The host was reachable via text with prompt replies and follow ups. Even after we left I had to contact them about a potential lost item and the follow up was fast and concise. Overall would stay again! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Wonderful visit, wish we could have stayed longer! Our favorite experiences were exploring the nearby beach and enjoying meals together on the back deck with the incredible view. The pictures don't do it justice-- the house is light, modern, clean, and had everything we needed. We were able to cook dinners, make coffee, run a load of laundry, and get the teens on wifi. We were at first concerned that the campground at the public beach would be loud, but we didn't have any problems with that while there, everyone was very respectful. Tips for visitors: the filtered water on the fridge is great for drinking, there were plenty of towels and outlets, and the pullout couch is perfectly comfortable for sleeping. Wildlife sightings: fox, deer, bald eagle, seals and all sorts of cool intertidal creatures. We would love to come back!

The property was beautifully located with stunning views. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with everything we needed to make meals. Having included some of the basic necessities was very much appreciated. The open living area provided a wonderful gathering spot for family, and again with the views! Everything was clean and just lovely.

Cooking with a view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

No time for breakfast

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.

Orca overview lived up to expectations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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,

Unplug and LFW

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Loved the location. Communication was efficient. The space was super clean. Just need a few kitchen towels! And more windows need screens—for better airflow. But the view, the state park next door, the ease of check-in/out…wonderful!

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.

The View

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.

Not so great

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.
