Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Orcas Island

I've stayed at a lot of vacation rentals - Lori's spot on Orcas might be one of the best. The space is perfect for a large group, the property and amenities were outstanding, and the views were absolutely incredible. If you're looking for a quiet spot to spend a long weekend in Washington, I don't think you'll find anything better. Lori's a fantastic host, as well, which made the whole experience even better.

Nick’s place is one of our favorite AirBnB finds. It is so thoughtfully designed and utterly serene. We loved sipping coffee, reading books, watching movies on the projector/screen combo, and walking or driving the few minutes to downtown. We also played some of the guitars on the wall, which are in pretty good shape! Nick was very accommodating, allowed us to check out late so we didn’t have to spend hours waiting for a flight at the airport. We had a great week in Bellingham and this house was a big part of it. Hope to be back.

Very quiet and peaceful. Wonderful surroundings with the hot tub placed to best take in the sight of the lake! Very cozy with lots of space for my fur babies.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The process was seamless, the house incredible, and the view beyond amazing! We cannot wait to book again!

This place was truly magical. We enjoyed watching the stars from the hot tub, and sitting by the outdoor firepit by the water. Grabbing food and books from town and being tucked away in such a cozy spot was Such an amazingly relaxing atmosphere.

What a beautiful stay! We came for a race and the views were absolutely breathtaking! We had everything we needed. Felt like we were staying at a friends house. Sarah Beatrice went above and beyond in communication or helping us. This was such a special trip and one we will never forget. Walking the beach in the morning was so special. The views from the dinning/living room felt surreal. Place was very clean. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay in this great spot on Mount Parke. Really nice views and peaceful location where we enjoyed hearing birdsong and the ferries tooting their horns as they were passing through Active Pass.

An absolutely incredible stay! This place is a mid-century gem, with the stunning Malm fireplace stealing the show—it was simply mesmerizing and set the perfect cozy vibe. The views were jaw-dropping and absolutely worth the climb up the stairs. The house was impeccably clean, well-stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were so comfortable that we all slept like babies. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making it a truly relaxing and memorable getaway. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a unique, peaceful retreat. We can’t wait to come back!

Hannah's place was marvelous! It was a rainy few days and we were on the island mainly for the film festival, so we didn't get to spend as much time in the garden or out on the back porch as we would have liked, but the room was so cozy and the bed was super comfy! Hannah was super nice and provided us with everything we needed. We hope to come back to spend some warmer, sunnier days :)

We loved being there and will return for another Bellingham adventure

This location is incredible due to the immaculate surroundings. Ginny and Glen have perfect spot to decompress after a long day at work. I stayed for two weeks and it truly was comfortable and quiet. The patio’s provide an excellent view of the lake and surroundings. Ginny and Glen were very helpful and great to talk to. I have a long job in the area and will be booking again over the next few months.

The highly rated Armstrong’s Bird Nest exceeded our expectations. It is clean, spacious and well-appointed. The property is filled with beauty both inside and outside, allowing for tranquil break from everyday life. Our hostess was congenial, extremely helpful and very responsive. We will be sorely disappointed if the Bird Nest is unavailable the next time we return to the area.

Emma’s house was warm and cozy, with lovely decorations and the most amazing local products to use. Location is perfect for exploring Bellingham and the entire flat is a peaceful, tranquil retreat.

BEST AB&B EVER! EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT, AND HER OWN WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS MADE THE SPACE REALLY SPECIAL. SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST! ALL I CAN SAY IS DITTO TO ALL THE OTHER FABULOUS REVIEWS. I HOPE TO RETURN MANY TIMES.

This is a great little place and it's clear Adam and Kathryn care a lot about their guests. The place is small and lovely. It's in an extremely walkable part of the city, we hardly got in our car after unloading for the entire trip.

Nancy was the most responsive host we have ever had. We enjoyed her place so much and pan to go back in the summer!

I stayed at Brad’s for 11 nights while visiting a friend who lives in Sequim. This was a perfect spot for me and my pup. We walked to the water every morning and saw bald eagles, herons and so many other birds and ducks every day. The property is adjacent to a nature reserve. The fenced yard was SO nice to have for the dog and also felt very private for the long nearly nightly soaks in the hot tub. And the inside shower!!!! I felt spoiled. The kitchen had everything I needed to make simple meals. The fridge is tiny… but totally doable. Brad was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and I will recommend to friends. Thank you Brad and Katie!!!

Perfect! Cleanliness, simplicity, and tasteful decor! Easy access to everything. Enjoyed our drive around the island! Beautiful. Met so many warm and friendly people!

Nice, convenient spot near the heart of Friday Harbor. Place was quiet; Kacie had everything very organized. Thank you again for hosting my brief stay on the island.

Cozy place with a beautiful view from the deck. Private. Clean. I’d be happy to stay here again.

We loved our one night stay. The amenities within the unit were very well thought out and intuitively placed, the space was clean and well maintained and very comfortable. There is a small store across the street for immediate needs and the unit is about a 10 minute drive from town and a plethora of great restaurants and activities, many of which are listed in the guest book. 10/10 would visit again.

Our stay at Marlyn's place was the perfect little getaway. It had beautiful water views and felt very private. The walk to the beach did not take long. The space was charming and comfortable. Her place had everything we needed for our family of three and our dog. Would recommend!

Leith's studio apartment is quiet, yet a walk around the corner from the main street. The views of the East Sound and surrounding landscape from the high up deck are beautiful. The interior is artfully well-appointed and equipped.

This was a comfortable, clean, nicely updated and well-appointed property that made my time on San Juan Island easy! It’s in a super walkable spot for getting into town as well. I’ll definitely stay here again!
