Lovely Vacation Rental

The back deck overlooking the trees and water was the perfect place for a group of 6 to relax and enjoy the scenery. The house was comfortable and nicely furnished. We found the house clean with plenty of extra linens. Great bathtub. Quiet and fairly secluded location. We would definitely rent this house again.

Serene Orcas Escape Ideal for a Small Group

Our small group of four adults and one pup greatly enjoyed Shore Thing Retreat. We were easily able to spread out into our own spaces, gathering in the kitchen, living room, and outside deck with exceptional eastsound views. We were a short drive into town and enjoyed all of the amenities, smart TV, well stocked kitchen with coffee maker and teapot, and fenced pet relief area.

Well equipped and cozy

Terrific views of the sound, boats, eagles, etc. we were six people, two in each bedroom, and very comfortable. There is no direct access to the beach, but that seems to be an issue all over Orcas, unless you stay at a place that has its own beach.

Great family retreat in quiet setting

Lovely home in a quiet setting with a view between the trees of the water. The house was well furnished, easily accommodated our family group of 3 couples. Loved the deck, and the side yard perfect for our small dog. Located centrally on the island--easy to visit any location. would love to return in future.

Comfortable

The house was nice to stay at. Good location and view. The only downside was the thorough cleanliness. Cob webs, dust bunnies, dead bugs in the window sills and clothing under a bed.

Great house, great location, great view!

We stayed at Shore Thing for 4 nights and it was a great place to stay. The house well off the beaten path and feels like a little remote getaway. Completely clean, plenty of room, and well stocked. The views from the living spaces and bedrooms are incredible, we loved waking up every morning and sipping coffee while looking at the East Sound. Pretty short drives to everything as well. We will absolutely be back and recommending this VRBO to our friends as well!

It’s a Shore Thing!

You can count on Shore Thing Retreat to provide you with an exceptional experience! My family stayed for 5 nights as we transition to Orcas Island. The location is close enough to everywhere you may want to be, while far enough to enjoy the tranquility. The amenities in the home far exceeded most short term rentals. The decor is pleasant. It was very clean and comfortable. Shore Thing Retreat lived up to its name! Thank you

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

My family and I had an interesting trip to Orcas Island, but the one place we had no complaints was the vacation home. It was beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful. It all had all the amenities. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were plenty of games and movies to watch. The wifi worked great. After we hit the grocery store, there was no reason to leave. That may be the one downside, once we got there no one wanted to leave, and we saw very little of the island. Maybe next time we visit we will see some of the island since my children are already bugging me to go back.

Great Place!!

Loved staying here: the view was 4 out of 5, making hanging out on the deck a must - even all bundled up from the cold... Especially since the fireplace made it pleasurable going in to warm up. The island was amazing, so location isn't going to be a problem no matter where you stay. Furnishings and amenities were really nice, and the kitchen (surprisingly to me at least) had everything you could think of plus some - no creative solutions necessary!!
