*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
Aurora House provides guests with the perfect blend of coziness and spaciousness - an indoor and outdoor retreat set on a waterfront bluff with sprawling views off Orcas Island’s coveted north shore. Sit by the fire in the sizeable living room, with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the excitement of weather, boats, birds, marine mammals, and outer-island escapes. Or spend your days down the relaxing trail right next door where a private beach accessible only to neighborhood residents awaits – this beach is known by the lucky few to be one of the most beautiful and private beaches on the island.
Back at the house, the waterfront hot tub, open kitchen and expansive deck ensure a relaxing getaway in every way possible. Inside, in addition to the first floor living room, this home provides two downstairs bedrooms, one with outside direct deck access and a comfortable queen size bed. The other room has a bunk bed arrangement with a full bed on the bottom and twin on top. These bedrooms share a downstairs bathroom that also serves as the guest bathroom.
A cozy and well-lit family room at the back of the house provides the perfect den for watching movies, soaking up the sun under the solarium-style windows, and getting away from it all with your favorite book. The laundry room is conveniently tucked away in a closet on the first floor near the kitchen.
Speaking of the kitchen, this easy-to-use space has all the amenities to entertain and cook for a large family gathering. Serve your family and friends at the kitchen bar, dining table, or the lounging deck with plentiful furniture that is just steps away from the cooking area.
Upstairs is the master bedroom loft with a queen size bed, master bathroom and more views of neighboring islands and even Canada. The warm, woody feeling throughout this house, coupled with the peace of the surrounding forest and sea, provide ultimate tranquility. Aurora House provides excellent privacy from neighbors and such a gracious environment to enjoy wonderful Orcas Island.

Response from Northwest Vacations:
We enjoy hearing stories about family vacations like this so glad you all had a nice time at the home and on Orcas Island.
This was about 20 minutes from the Ferry dock. The road seems isolated and we wondered at first if we had gone too far or taken a wrong turn. We passed wild turkeys on our drive and a waterfall! As other reviewers described, there were neighbors but we never heard them or saw them, a very peaceful and quiet place. Just a short walk down the road, there is a trail that leads down to a beach. It was a beautiful sunset walk! The house was very clean and well-stocked. The hot tub on the deck was our favorite morning spot. This is a great house to rent, if you want a chill vacation.
We stayed at this property for two nights and did remote work /school with a bit of leisure time. The property was close to Moran state park and a short drive into Eastsound. We made good use of the deck and enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub at night. The house is close to the water but there is no beach access from the property.
We were looking for a place to get away during Thanksgiving since my kids were very sad to not be able to have our traditional time with grandma. The location is great with a beautiful and peaceful view. There were houses near by but it was a very quiet neighborhood. The hot tub on the deck with that view were AMAZING! We also really enjoyed the loft and wood stove. It felt clean and safe. The property was well cared for. It was so relaxing and just what we needed to get away. My son is doing extra chores to earn money so we can go back!
