Orcas Island, Juniper House #212

*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***

The complete rebuilding of this charming home is finally done and ready for your occupancy. Three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms provide wonderful waterfront views and a water-side deck to die for. Two stories and 2,223 sq. ft. of charm and luxury. Go straight to the pictures for this listing and you will see one of the most unusual homes in the San Juan islands.

This home boasts a fully fitted out chef's kitchen with large gas range and a French door stainless refrigerator. Unusual items include an espresso machine, counter seating to watch the chef at work. Dishwasher, cozy casual dining seating area and for those more formal dinners, seating for eight. There is also a 8 place picnic table on the deck for outdoor dining.

The downstairs master bedroom features one of the most wonderful king beds we've seen. Check out the photos of the four-poster bed with its luxurious new mattress. This room says it all about the charm of Juniper House. The master has its own ensuite bathroom adjacent.

Upstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a comfortable queen bed and another with a queen and two singles for families. There is a shared bathroom between these two upstairs bedrooms. This home also has a queen aerobed that can be set up in the living room or one of the upstairs bedrooms to accommodate 9 guests.

The complete rebuild of this home was done using much of the original woodwork and shows the beauty of old wood. Nobody will be disappointed with Juniper House.

Please note this home has 11 steps to the entrance.

This beautiful property was clean and well-stocked with what we needed. Our favorite part was the unbeatable views of the water from every room. Future guests should know that the driveway is downhill. Our car got stuck on a rainy morning trying to go uphill out of the driveway, and we missed our ferry. The property manager was helpful in connecting us with the local towing company though and it may be helpful to have their number on hand in case you need help getting out.

perfect vacation home

This is a perfect vacation home. The location right on the water is absolutely beautiful. The home itself is very charming and comfortable with great views of the ocean from every room. My family of 5 with 3 kids ages 10 - 16 and a grandparent fit perfectly. I've stayed in many vacation homes both in the US and abroad and can confidently say this is one of the best homes I've ever stayed in. We had never been to Orcas Island and are so glad we visited because it is a magical place. We would definitely come back to this house and Orcas again.

Eastsound, WA Family Summer Solstice Vaca! Juniper House

Fantastic location on the water and just a few minutes to Eastsound. Eagles, young & adults patrolling the cliffs and coves, ducks in formation, random Orcas, not to mention starfish, crabs and other wildlife kept kids and adults entertained. The house was comfortable, accommodating, and equipped for our family. An amazing time was had by all!

Great home on Orcas Island

Great house in great shape. Nice layout. Perfect for a family. Home was in good shape and clean. Kitchen is well laid out and outfitted. Wonderful views out into the bay. Close to Eastsound, but felt separate (quiet). Final part of driveway is steep, but not a problem even in rain. We'd definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay on Orcas. The house is very cozy and we felt at home immediately. We woke up to a family of otters out front the first day and saw the aurora borealis the second night! A major bonus for me was that there were no strong cleaning scents or perfume smell on linens (I’ve had issues with this at other rentals). The driveway is quite steep but we had still no issue getting up and down whether driving or walking (we just had one car).

The view doesn't get any better!

We just back from the most relaxing family vacation and can’t speak highly enough of this home. From the moment you walk in, you will feel right at home. The views are stunning and you can enjoy them from almost every room in the house. The house is charming and very well appointed. Because it is an older home, the floors are a bit creaky and, as another reviewer mentioned, sound travels through them easily. It is perfectly located -- just a short walk to the darling town of Eastsound where you can grab groceries, coffee, dinner or pop into the cute boutiques. Check-in was seamless as was communication with the property management company. They even contacted us after checkout to let us know that we had left an item behind and we were able to stop by to get it before leaving the island. If you are going to Orcas Island, you couldn’t pick a better place.

Peaceful Eastsound Stay

The house is beautiful and peacefully located on the shores of Eastsound. It's convenient to town, but also feels quiet and isolated in the way you'd hope for it to be. Modern updates to the kitchen and bathrooms are a nice touch, and the back deck is spectacular. The host is responsive, the place was clean, and check-out procedures aren't too burdensome. Really nice stay.

The view was superb

We really enjoyed our ten days here at the Juniper House. There were four adults over 55 and we cooked meals in three of our evenings. With that said, if you plan to cook, and you use spices other than salt and pepper, make sure you bring them with you. There were adequate pots and pans and utensils though. The coffee maker requires a #4 cone, they are not provided. There was a handful of dishwasher tablets and adequate laundry detergent, so no need to bring/buy that. They provided a few kitchen trash bags, two rolls of paper towels and three toilet paper rolls per bathroom. For the four of us, the amount provided was just enough. There is a gas grill on front porch and it worked well. As far as things that were just a little irritating about the property; it was down a very steep hill and was a tad tricky parking our larger car. Also, the floors are original and they are very squeaky…..the main bedroom is directly under one of the guest bedrooms and we could hear whispering, talking, walking and snoring from above. So, be aware…..especially if traveling with others. It is NOT private. We were with very good friends so we just told them to keep it down - and that worked very well. Also, there is a fireplace (wood is NOT provided)…..wi-if is spotty at best but it was fine for us. The management company was superb. I only had to call twice (both times about our wi-fi) and both times they immediately responded. I was very impressed. Overall, we were very happy with the home and would stay again. The above mentioned things were just little surprises.

Paradise and peace

The house was all it promised. Perfectly located within walking distance of Eastsound with it's cool shops and restaurants, but remote enough to feel so isolated and immersed in nature. The house is pretty much right on the water and you can hardly tell there are any other houses around. All the rooms were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked (except for coffee filters) with stuff, but not food. And you have to bring your own firewood and starters. The outside deck has been replaced I think from the picture but it's very sturdy and there's an added picnic table but no bench around the outer edge of the deck. One late afternoon we were watching the sunset color the sky when a little family of river otters skittered up the bank and then took refuge under the front deck. That was a rare treat to see. the bedrooms all seemed to have their own heating elements so even though it was pretty cold outside, we were very toasty in our rooms. the downstairs big bedoom is very luxurious. Even the towels were soft. One objection I have to the close out protocols was that they wanted me to make sure to wash and put away all the dishes and pots and pans. I can understand putting things in the dishwasher, but I would prefer to know that a professional crew had cleaned the kitchen in this era of Covid, before I arrived and not that I'm relying strictly on the health and compliance of the previous tennant. For all the money they charge for cleaning, you'd think that would be one of the services provided. I would gladly rent this place again. Maybe in the spring next time.

Such a magnificent place - couldn't be better situated to enjoy the Eastsound of Orcas, to awaken to the water maybe 3 yards away. Beautifully kept with all the amenities, tasteful, ideal to spend time, to stretch out, to gaze at nature from the living room or bedrooms. Couldn't be nicer!

great location near town, as close to the water as it gets, great view, and spotless

We loved this little place! It was spotless, which is always a relief when you arrive with tired and hungry little kids. View is a 10! We have been coming to Orcas for years and this has been my favorite place to stay so far. Word of warning for parents traveling with young children: during the summer months, it is very bright early in the morning and late into the night. I would bring your own blackout options if your kids need them.

Close to perfection

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house. Perfect location, amazing view, comfortable beds, quality kitchen stuff (even sharp knives!), nice linens. One thing to be aware of is that when people walk around in the upper bedroom, the floors creak terribly so there's quite a bit of noise for anyone trying to sleep below. Nothing can be done, it's just an older home. Still well worth it!

This cottage has a great vibe, remodeled yet kept the old school classic decor.

We would return to this cottage. Very comfortable for our family and you can’t beat the location and fantastic view. A few suggestions: add a coffee grinder to the kitchen and a little rug sweeper or vacuum for touching up area rugs if your guest is staying longer than a few days. Instruction for oven and multi use microwave would be helpful too. All in all a very lovely stay and we will return. Thank you!
