With spectacular views of Deer Harbor and the Olympic Mountains to the south, this Orcas Island cottage is just steps from the water and offers easy access for beach combing. The gentle surrounding waters are perfect for kayaking, and a dock is available to launch kayaks and canoes at high tide - or carry them down the path and set off from your private beach.
Marina View is a spacious one-bedroom guest house with a king bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large living area with a vaulted ceiling. The living area and dining nook offer south and west water views. There is also a twin bed in the living room for an additional guest.
Three and a half acres offers ample room for play and there is a large level lawn that is conducive to croquet or badminton. The guest cottage, while sharing the family's vacation compound, is designed with your privacy in mind. Landscaping provides a secure and private environment for both parties, even if the owner should also be in residence.
Marina View is conveniently within walking distance of Deer Harbor Marina, a convenience market and post office. It's a great location, within a comfortable 20 minutes of the ferry landing and the amenities of Eastsound. It is also a wonderful vantage point for Deer Harbor fireworks if you are the lucky ones to book this cottage over the 4th of July!

Thank you for this wonderful review we are so happy you had a nice time and we look forward to your staying with us again.
We picked this house because it took dogs, but would definitely come back without our pup. The setting overlooking the marina is so serene, I could have spent our entire week gazing at it while sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs or the hot tubs. The photos do not do it justice. The house is well appointed and the owners seem very thoughtful - amenities for the dog, great instructions, extra towels, etc. The house is also close to the restaurant at the Deer Harbor Inn (we walked there), the Deer Harbor Marina (which has a little store with butter, eggs, etc.), and the south trailhead for Turtleback Mountain (some of the best views of any hike I have ever done). We highly recommend this house.
We had a great time here and will come back. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal and the grill was clean and way to use. As was the TV instructions. Location was perfect. Would like to come back during high season to utilize the beach and more of the outside and hot tub.
Had a fantastic weekend away in this cozy house on the water. Was pleasantly surprised to find all the dog friendly amenities, including the sliding tether for our pup to allow him to sniff around outside while we hot tubbed or relaxed.
The house was super cute. The hot was great to have just relax and take in the beautiful scenery. We had everything we needed. It was so great that we got to bring our fur kids to enjoy the trip with us. We will defiantly be returning.
Thank you for your lovely review of the beautiful Marina View; we agree, the home is cute and relaxing. We would welcome you for a future visit in the San Juan Islands!

Very lovely spot and house kept in very nice condition.
It was a lovely secluded property on the water. We enjoyed the hot tub very much, especially after a day of fabulous orca whale watching cruise out of Deer Harbor. The bed was very comfortable, the heaters worked well. Deer Harbor is very tiny - only two dinner restaurants but luckily they were both great!
Fantastic cottage, the perfect size for a couple and a dog. Everything you would need was provided. The cottage was clean and in very good shape. The couches are comfortable and the outdoor seating is well planned. Our only complaint would be the lackluster pillows on the bed. We will definitely book this for future trips to Orcas Island.
We enjoyed our stay very much, and it is the second time we stayed at Marina View. It was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Our dog especially loves the beach access!
A peaceful getaway in a quiet, beautiful location. Ellen and Doug were great hosts, we want to thank them for sharing their amazing property.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at this cottage and it never disappoints. We love the view, the house is comfortable, the hot tub is great and bunnies are fun to watch. We will be back again.
My husband and I visited Marina View to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. Typically, he and I bring along some upgraded necessities to ensure we have everything (binoculars, small speaker, and an outdoor cord for our dog). We did not need literally anything we brought as the house already had it! (Which is not commonly provided) Needless to say, this place was pretty darn close to perfect. We will definitely be returning in years to come.

Wonderful home away from home in the beautiful secluded Deer Harbor area, yet close enough to town for groceries and activities. Great amenities, and would definitely return.
My husband and I spent a long weekend at Marina View and loved every minute. Quiet part of Deer Harbor had us enjoying dining outside and watching seal pups play. Low bank waterfront with room for kayak storage on the grass or directly on the beach clear of high tide. Overall stars would be 5 but dogs can't stay alone in home so not really pet friendly for those who like to go kayaking, go on longer day hiking/biking excursions or eating out, etc. Absolutely wonderful place/location!
Great for a couple
Lovely and romantic spot. Lots of great walks in the area. Beautiful park on the water in Deer Harbor next to the west side marina.
Best equipped kitchen ever!
Pruning the trees to improve the view of the marina and the lagoon would be a big plus!
We came up to the Cottage to celebrate our 19th anniversary. The house is Dog friendly so wwe got to bring our four legged-child with us. There's a HUGE Soren grass field where he got to play on after going down to the beach for a swim. We enjoyed the hot tub after going out for an great dinner. House has everything you need including big comfy couches perfect for that afternooon nap after playing in the sun. It was such a fabulous place we decided to just enjoy it instead of revisiting the islands attractions.
Cottage was well appointed with a spacious "great room" and plenty of kitchen supplies for basic cooking needs. Appreciated the dog stake so the little buddy could hang out with us while we used the hot tub or lounged outside. Plenty of lawn for yard games but it was unclear if we could use the bikes stored by the cottage. On arriving, we missed the weather-worn driveway sign and ended up at the neighbors just beyond. She wasn't too pleased to see us so keep a sharp eye out for the proper sign. Bathtub could use a facelift. Otherwise we and the dog enjoyed our escape from the big city.
Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing to stay with us on your Island excursion! We appreciate the review you have left and the feedback you have provided. In fact the sign has been fixed and things spruced up generally. We hope you will pick us to stay with on your next Island getaway! Best Regards, General Manager
Generally excellent. The key lock was jammed so we were delayed an hour or so, but otherwise it was a wonderful little house. Kitchen well supplied with equipment and some spices etc.
Stayed four nights in late July. Peaceful, quiet setting. Hot tub was great! House was clean and everything worked just fine. Blackberries were everywhere and sweeter than you could imagine. The path to the beach could use a trim but overall a great place to enjoy Orcas Island from.
Private, quiet, lovely. Wonderful view of the harbor.
We had a wonderful, relaxing time, albeit short. Well appointed guest home, great spot, and quiet!
We will stay again. We will certainly stay again.
Dear Guest, thank you for choosing to stay with us in the San Juan Islands!

Please search for Vacation Doorways in the San Juan Islands and you'll be able to contact us from there. We hope you will decide to return to the Islands for your next vacation stay! Best Regards, General Manager
Overall the cabin was great. The area that needs improvement was the cleaning of the bathroom and the carpets. The carpets in the dining area were in terrible shape.
Third time staying in the cottage at Deer Harbor. Love it. Always quiet, clean and wonderful view. We like seeing the bunnies, the eagles and other wild life. Will come back again.
We really enjoyed everything about the property! The location was perfect, the living room was huge, the fireplace added to the romance, and the grill was perfect for ending the day with a good meal. One of the things that I found exceptional was that the kitchen was well stocked with the basics that everyone needs but are rarely present in a vacation cottage. There was olive oil, vinegar, flour, a full range of spices, ziplock bags, etc. I highly recommend this place!
The on-line descrption of this property is misleading, at best. First, we were very disappointed that it was not spelled out that this property is actually a guest house located a mere 20 yards from the owner's residence. While the owners were not overly intrusive we did feel abit like being in a fish bowl. Second, no reference or mention of the availability of kayaks was ever made even though there were two kayaks located on the owner's dock. Third, despite the descrption stating how much Fido will enjoy the wide open lawn, the information booklet located in the unit requires that dogs be on a leash when outdoors. Overall we were very disappointed with this rental unit and would not recommend it to a friend.
We really had a wonderful time the accommodations
We're exactly as portrayed on the web site, and that was outstanding. Serene and quiet just what we were looking for, include beauty and there you are.
This was a very comfortable place for us to stay with our toddler and large dog. The owners live nearby and were very nice and accommodating. The view was really pretty and the kitchen/outdoor grill had everything we needed.
