My favorite "house" among the cottages is "Salmon Shoal" http://www.northshore4kiss.com/salmon_shoal.html This property is the full package, sleeps 8, full kitchen and laundry, steam room. While sitting on the deck or in the hot tub you look out from the north shoreline of Orcas Island. Privacy abounds except for the occasional interruption from local wildlife. Last year we had deer eating apples from a tree as we watched the sunset off the deck. If you want to treat family or friends, NorthShore Cottages they have 5 houses each with unique architecture, amenities and story.

There 9 of us (including three little kids) and with the two bedrooms in the main house and the large downstairs living area, there was more than enough room. We bought the voucher the previous Fall and within a few weeks of when it was supposed to expire, we called the owners and they were wonderful in helping us schedule a weekend. The house is spacious with a fantastic view. We brought a ton of food with us and the full kitchen was clean and stocked with everything our large party needed to eat-in both nights and mornings. The house has all the amenities for us city-dwelling folks, but as it sits at the northern tip of the island with a view of Vancouver B.C., we felt a million miles away. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

It is also very close to Richmond in Canada where we love to go for good Cantonese food. This last trip was the second time we managed to book a presidential suite with a private hot tub in the balcony. The unit is a bit dated, but spacious and comfortable. It's also very good to know that they send service personnel to check the hot tub every other day. The resort also has clamming equipment that can be borrowed. We got a lot of huge cockles and horse clams on the beach in the Birch Bay State Park which is about a mile away. We always have a great time at this resort.

Quiet town just south of the Canadian border [Blaine WA]…read more This was our home for four nights. We chose this place because we wanted to visit some sites in Canada. This is the closest WorldMark to the U.S. Canada Border in Blaine, which is about 6.5 miles drive from the resort. We arrived around 1:00a, check-in was fast and we were given our key cards and parking pass. As all of WorldMark by Wyndham resorts the unit was clean with a fully-equipped kitchen including a microwave, refrigerator, and stovetop along with a separate living area. We had a studio unit (only one available at time of booking) and our room was on the 5th floor. As always during our trips we never get to enjoy the hotel amenities (pool, recreation area, etc) since we always start our day out early and arrive back late. Can't waste any adventure time while on vacation. For our last evening we walked across the street to Bay Breeze Restaurant & Bar. We had a pleasant stay at this Worldmark location even though we were out most of the time. Review #3623

We enjoyed a little family getaway here! They've got pet-friendly rooms so it was perfect for us…read more Upon arrival, they had a little corner set up for our dog...dog bed, towels, and a treat bag! It was so cute!! It was an easy check in, friendly staff. The bay view suits are a pretty good size and the bed was comfy! The little kitchenette was handy to have, and was stocked with the basics. Great views and so close to everything. There are many stores and restaurants close by that are easy to walk to. The only little complaint we had was that the shower water could've been hotter. But other than that, it was an amazing stay! We will definitely be coming back to stay here!!

The word is quaint. Yes, it's a cliche, but it's accurate. The staff at the front desk is super…read morehelpful, I believe we were helped by someone named Pluto, who was very patient with us . . . We had two little kids that were obsessed with the candy bowls, and my wife's elderly (we are of Indian origin) parents who . . . let's just say, they had a lot of interesting questions. The rooms were really nice...very clean and spacious. This place accommodates dogs. Let me rephrase, they welcome dogs. They had a cot for each of our dogs to sleep in, treats, poop bags, and a coupon for the neighborhood pet shop. I think it says a lot about a place when they welcome dogs with such open arms. Outlook Inn is also situated near the downtown area and is walking distance from some nice shops and restaurants. This doesn't count towards this rating but Orcas island was beautiful. I highly recommend you visit and stay at Outlook Inn, especially if you have a dog.

The bungalow is a beautiful one bedroom house, decorated impeccably and overlooking a lovely yard. It's peaceful, quiet and yes, deer will greet you in the morning at the kitchen window.

We're certainly looking forward to our next trip back in the (near) future!

We aren't dirty people at all so they should be able to handle it. 5 stars for the overall amenities. 5 stars for the location and view. Brown Bear baking is delicious Madrona restaurant and bar is delicious The signs everywhere is just annoying. Need more games here. Overall great experience. Fire the cleaning person. Clean the deck and cabinets, stove, dishwasher, and table. Sooooooo gross. Surprisingly the bathroom was ok. Not great. Some filth there too. The bed is very firm, I didn't care but the husband complained. We should be reimbursed for that cleaning fee. I cleaned more than the housekeeper did. The living room was cozy and the internet worked great! I imagine dogs are not allowed get my allergies went crazy and there was white fur on the furniture. I swear the floors had a couple pee spots, I cleaned them. If they had a better cleaner I would go back.

The soaking tub was amazing! I made a point to take a soak before we left as the tub was much larger than the one we have at home, it's extra wide which is great for two people showering at the same time. The location to town can't be beat! We loved being able to walk outside and we were right on the beach, and there were coffee shops and even a grocery store within walking distance. We had a slight snafu when checking in, the keys weren't in the Dropbox and we weren't able to get ahold of the owner right away. A shop owner next store let us in as she knew the code to the building. Small town, it happens. Honestly, we were relieved that someone was there to let is in! We noticed an ant problem while we were there, and this was late March, a bit early for ants. We didn't leave any food out, and we couldn't find a trail where they were coming in from. They seemed to hang out at the dining table, but nowhere else. We think the restaurant next door may have been the reason for the ants. The bed wasn't very comfortable, it felt like sleeping on a futon but it was a Queen sized bed. The kitchen was functional but very small. We found it more than adequate for a one or two night stay if making food at home. Any longer, you may need more space. Overall, we would recommend it for a weekend stay for a couple. Beautiful location!
