Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Grindstone Harbor. Our multi-generational family loved kayaking in the cove and watching the otters, herons, and bald eagles from the expansive deck. We had plenty of room for 9 people and enjoyed many activities on the island.

Loved Our Stay

We agreed with the previous reviews stating the pictures didn’t capture the full beauty of the place. We loved our stay, and the property had plenty of space for the group to gather together and have private time apart. Location near the ferry was nice and kitchen was well appointed. Thank you for being a fantastic choice for our group to make memories together.

A Piece of Paradise

Our family loved our vacation! We spent untold hours in kayaks, puttering around the beach, and walking in the woods. The kitchen was well-equipped for family meals, and the back deck was my happy place for watching the resident blue heron and sea otters. Sherri was extremely responsive when a couple of minor issues arose.

Peaceful location and spacious house.

I booked this house for my mother and father in law due to its location near our own house. The house was ideal for them and gave us some ability to easily get back-and-forth to our house while also providing ability for them to have their own peace and quiet. The grounds/gardens of this home are really great and it was an inspiration to what we'd like to do at our own home. Highly recommended, particularly if you'd like to be at a place on Orcas that is removed enough from all the activity at Eastsound but still close to the ferry landing.

Amazing Property

Exceeded expectations! We had our kids and grandbabies with us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The view is stunning! Property is a little remote, but that was not a problem for us. Management was incredibly responsive to every question I had.

Great House, Great Location

We have stayed at this property twice now and love it! The house is big and comfortable and great for group dinners and hanging out. The landscaping is beautiful -- such a nice private feel to the place. Our favorite part is little fire pit down by the water. The calm bay is fun if you're into water activities. The master bedroom/bathroom are stunning... I could go on.

An absolute delight

We were forced to audible some vacation plans and decided to book a place on Orcas. We were so lucky that we chose grindestone harbor! The view is even better than it looks in the pictures! The house was terrific for our family and friends. We really enjoyed our winter stay walking the trails and wading in the water. I can only imagine how much the place is in summer. The property management team was super responsive and helpful. Highly recommend for families and friend groups alike!

Peace and Tranquillity

The views are absolutely gorgeous. The home is beautifully updated except for the stained dirty carpet! Perhaps that’s in the future plans? The deck and outdoor space are perfect to relax and enjoy the scenery. Overall, it’s a lovely home in a gorgeous setting. FYI, the ice maker is not connected so pick up a bag of ice.

Stunning

We wanted to celebrate my parents 49th anniversary as a family and this home simply couldn't have been a better place to do it! The views are epic (truly... breathtaking!) with wildlife all around. By the end of the trip we had named the seals that came to visit and developed a bond with the otters that played in the bay. The peace and serenity of the space provided all of us with a wonderfully relaxing time together and everyone felt recharged by the experience. Highly recommend spending some time here if you can!

A Dream

The pictures do not fully capture how stunning the property, view, and interior of this house really are. Absolutely gorgeous, gracious, generous - so spacious and yet cozy. We have no complaints at all - except that our kids insisted on using our bathroom because the view was so spectacular. Hehehe. Already dreaming about our next visit.

INCREDIBLE! WE'LL BE BACK!!!

This property was absolutely breath taking. Pictures did not even capture how cute, comfy, huge and breath taking this whole property and location were. From the large family area to hang out, to the huge kitchen that handled our massive action, several cooks, cleaners and traffic all at once, to the 2nd Guest House, cottage that so cute and well maintained. The upgrades and house decor were perfect, hot tub yummy and the hiking, canoes, beach front and fire pit were perfect for our family that all love to go in different directions. Thank you for taking such great care of us.

Perfect Family Vacation

Our family has been going to the San Juans since our children were young. This is our first trip back as the children have grown and we have grandchildren! This place could not have been more perfect! Great accommodations for everyone and no one was disappointed. The views are stunning, the kitchen huge, living room for all, TV for an important game that had to be seen, and a deck that absolutely perfect. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to experience your home and property. Communications were always prompt and useful. We look forward to being able to stay here again in the future. Absolutely did not disappoint!

Nice location, good bones. Could use some attention to details.

Nice location, good view, house in pretty good condition. Could use some attention to detail. Lack of blinds and shades in the guest house. No tv or monitor in guest house. Internet speed not very good. Blind broken in east bedroom upstairs in main house. Downstairs toilet not anchored to floor (toilet not the seat). This could is a safety problem. Bathroom light lacks diffuser. Hot tub was COLD. A major feature that was unusable. Lightbulbs missing or broken on main light in livingroom.
