My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Seaside cottage at the Homestead on Orcas Island. The property is a large one (2 acres?), with two cottages. The Seaside Cottage has a view of the bay and the islands; the Blackberry Cottage (BC) sits directly behind the Seaside Cottage (SSC). We just peeped into the BC while we were there (it was not occupied), and it seemed like it might be slightly bigger. However, the situation of the SSC was much nicer, with the water views and a place for sitting outside. The SSC was decorated in a tasteful "country cottage" sort of decor. Our taste leans to the more modern, but for this style, it was nice (not too kitschy, cutesy).
The property feels quite secluded from the next door properties and has beautiful large grounds with lovely gardens. A nice hot tub overlooks the bay. We didn't use the rowboat, kayak, or canoe while we were there, although they appeared fine.
The only downside to the place was the price...
