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.

During our stay no one was in the other cabin, so we had the entire property to ourselves: dock access with row boat, canoe and kayak, (sail boat, too, but we never chanced it), seating near the water, a large hottub and picnic table for outdoor dining.

This is a child-friendly property and the furnishing/cottage structure posed no special challenges in terms of child safety. One night we had some additional family visiting and we were able to rent an extra room, providing accommodations for 3 more adults and a child. I also had the opportunity to meet proprietor Jeanne Skott, who was quite helpful with dinner recommendations (Two... more
