Fortunately, we receive cell signal for the major wireless carriers in and around Orcas Island Getaway.

About Us:
At the top of Mt. Constitution in Moran State Park. Yes, we're blurry on purpose - the focus belongs on the beauty behind us!
Hi! We're Todd & Lori, owners of Orcas Island Getaway.
Our Orcas Island story
We fell in love with Orcas Island many years ago after a weekend getaway and had been drawn to its magical charm ever since.
We made a few to trips to Orcas Island over the course of a year, trying to find the right place for a place we could escape the 'city life'. The size of the home coupled with the privacy of the property and convenience to town and Moran State Park was perfect for what we were looking for, and our vision of what the home 'could be' with some sweat equity was readily apparent.
We closed on the home on Valentine's Day 2014, and we spent the better part of 6 months remodeling and updating everything in the home over long weekends and vacation days. From all new flooring and paint, granite counters in the kitchen, updated lighting and completely remodeled both bathrooms, our goals was to create a comfortable environment with more contemporary tastes.
Our move to full-time islanders:
Having a vacation rental property on Orcas Island has been a dream come true. Having a home that we could 'escape' to as well as sharing with others was fulfilling. We enjoyed visiting Orcas Island so much in that first year that we quickly realized we wanted to live on the island full-time. In the summer of 2015, we sold our home in the Seattle area, purchased another property on Orcas Island and now live on the island year-round while offering Orcas Island Getaway as a vacation rental for others to continue to enjoy.
What we think you'll love about the home:
We pride ourselves in offering an extremely clean, well maintained and user-friendly rental. They also love the location of Orcas Island Getaway because it's just a few blocks from Crescent Beach, a mile from town (Eastsound) and just over 3 miles to Moran State Park, which makes this location ideal for exploring the island.
We hope you enjoy staying at the property as much as we have!
