DECEMBER 2018


exactly as advertised...
— Patrick K., December 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

“We could not have asked for a better house during our stay on Orcas Island. I realize it's probably on the higher price side, but it's worth it. The house is exactly as advertised and it was spotless. Todd and Lori were impeccable hosts - they provided a thoughtful and thorough guide to the ins and outs of the house, as well as the surrounding area. They also communicated very quickly. Also, the location was prime - within walking distance of Moran State Park and only a 15 minute drive into Eastsound. There isn't much cell phone service at the house (what a bonus!!!), so I would coordinate plans before you head out there. We would love to stay there again!!!”

Amazing experience
— Lindsey K., December 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

“I almost don't want to share how amazing our experience was at Todd & Lori's house because we want it to be available every time we want to visit! Without even discussing the incredible house, the awesome furniture, the killer amenities, or any of the other normal things, let's talk about Todd & Lori--they put together the most amazing welcome website, plus a fantastic binder filled with tips and information and user guides for all the different amenities in their house (like the espresso machine, hot tub, bluetooth speakers, sound bar for the tv, and everything else you can imagine) and reached out to us to see about our arrival time and responded to my couple of emails practically instantly. They also put together some really great personal touches that I never would have dreamed would be included--like external batteries to take on hikes so your phone doesn't die, and portable speakers to have on the deck, touch lamps on the bedside tables, and special towels just to wrap your hair in after a shower (don't even get me started on the SUPER soft sheets, great kitchenware, and swoon-worthy furniture). We felt like every new thing we found just made us feel that much more pampered. We were so sad when our weekend was over, and we can't wait to go back. OH! As a tip--if it's a clear night, be sure to turn off all the lights and hop in the hot tub--you can star gaze for hours and you'll definitely see some shooting stars.”

“The house was wonderful, just as pictured. There were many thoughtful and clever touches to make our stay perfect. Everything was clean and the beds so comfortable! It’s located on a quiet street and felt very private. The location is great - not far from Moran State Park or downtown Eastsound. I would happily recommend staying here and would choose it again.”

— Janet W., November 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern

“Our first trip to Orcas was enjoyable and having a great place to call home as nice as Todd and Lori's place was icing on the cake. The kitchen was well stocked with quality cooking pans, large dining table and all the tools you need to make a meal at home. Check out the Co-op in town for great produce. Quite neighbors, close to town and a great view of the stars while relaxing in the hot tub added to our R&R.”

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

“Todd and Lori’s place is perfect for an Orcas getaway. The space is super clean, well laid out, and includes lots of fun “extra” amenities that make the visit special. We had such an awesome time cooking in the beautiful kitchen, soaking in the hot tub overlooking the trees and ocean, and hanging in the rec room. Todd and Lori go above and beyond in the space and also with quick response time and great suggestions of local spots. Would highly recommend!”

— Lee J., September 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern

"My husband and I recently stay at this lovely little home in Eastsound. We found the home very clean and well appointed. Even though I say the home was little it was not crowded and had plenty of space. Loved the bedding in the master suite . Everything was recently updated so very pleasing to the eye. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit on our brisk nights. Overall you can not go wrong renting this home."

...suffice to say I would recommend this house to anyone
— Peggy H., September 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

“This was my first Airbnb experience and we had a sisters retreat here. I have to say from the very beginning to the end Todd and Lori were very attentive to everything. The communication was awesome throughout the whole stay if we had any questions. The house and amenities deserve more than 5 stars, in our opinion. The house was super clean and very beautiful. It is very close to Rosario Resort, which was nice for dinner and the spa. It was really nice to be able to cook at the house also. I have to say the BIG hits were the hot tub and the espresso machine! Also the ping pong/pool tables, which we had a great time playing. We really enjoyed the visits from the deer in the morning and evening. We shopped in town and ate at the Madrona Bar and Grill, also did some hiking at Cascade Falls. I could go on - suffice to say I would recommend this house to anyone. We had such a wonderful time and would love to go back sometime. Thanks Todd and Lori for sharing your beautiful house with us. Peggy, Janice, Judy and Jessica”

Todd and Lori’s house on Orcas Island was amazing!
— Antonea P., September 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

“Todd and Lori’s house on Orca Island was amazing. The photos are exactly like the house looks like maybe even better in person. The master is on the main level and the other bedrooms are downstairs. We only needed to use the master but it was nice to have the space downstairs with our crazy 3 year old to play. Overall the house was so nice and I would recommend this to anyone.”

“This was an immaculate and beautiful modern space. The kitchen supplies were great too...often there’s very little to really be able to cook. Not the case here at all. The hot tub was perfect and the beds and general areas were all large and spacious; it all felt so luxurious. We would stay again for sure.”

If I could give this home 10 stars I would...
— Denise & Jason C., September 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

"If I could give this home 10 stars I would. Todd and Lori are excellent hosts. My family of 6 adults and 1 toddler stayed here over Labor Day weekend. Their home exceeded my family and my expectations at every turn:
Space: GORGEOUS modern PNW home. It is brand new and has beautiful finishes and furniture. The beds are all king size and are super comfortable (they are memory foam beds). Each bed has at least four pillows for your comfort. They also provided a pack n play and sheet for babies - super helpful as we were traveling with our 1 year old daughter and needed the crib. The hot tub, deck and pool /ping pong table are awesome. We spent a late night having a billiards tournament and really enjoyed that we were able to do that and spend time in the space. Orcas Island has many things to do during the day (hiking, shopping, boating, etc.), and it was nice to be able to come back to a home that also was entertaining well into the evening. It was just perfect for family time. The house itself has peekaboo views to the water from the deck and the trees give you the sense that you are staying in a tree house, which we loved. It's also so quiet and you will most likely be visited by the deer that live in the woods during your stay. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. We cooked all our meals at the house and didn't want for anything - including claw crackers for the crab we cooked! The pots, pans, dishes, cutlery and cooking utensils are well stocked and of high quality. Even my dad, who is an avid cook and can be a tough customer, commented on how he loved what the house had to offer.
Other nice touches: Complimentary back pack to use during your stay, soaps and toiletries, condiments and spices, espresso machine and espresso beans, sound bars / blue tooth speakers - so many to name!!
Communication & Logistics: Todd and Lori were top notch with regard to check in, communication, etc. We corresponded easily when questions arose, and I appreciated their timely response. They also checked in to ensure we were having a great stay - their attention to detail is wonderful and appreciated. Thank you Todd and Lori for a wonderful stay, and we really hope to get back up to Orcas Island again soon to stay at your wonderful home!!"

House is optimally outfitted with everything you can possibly need...extremely comfortable and spacious. Just a short drive into town and literally adjacent to Moran State Park...a perfect location. Todd and Lori are gracious and communicative hosts. A must stay if you plan to visit Orcas Island!"

— Amber M., August 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern

"We loved this house! Pulling onto the street we were a little apprehensive but as soon as we turned into the driveway all worries went away. The house is beautiful and clean and the location couldn't be better. It's within walking distance of many restaurants and shops and is just a short drive from Moran State Park. The owners thought of everything including recommendations of what to do and amenities for my dog. We will hopefully be back soon!"

"Ideal location to everything on the island! Convenient kitchen to cook in w/ various assortment of spices & pantry essentials. And can't forget the gas grill - another bonus. Large washer & dryer w/ accompanying soap, etc. Todd, the owner, responded quickly to any questions and/or problems that we had and was great to work with overall."

Well kept and well appointed house
— Jason L., August 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern

"My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the house. The fire pit and marked trails in the yard were great. Our dog enjoyed running about. The kitchen was well stocked and the BBQ functioned. Orcas is expensive in August but we felt like this house was a good value, and exceeded expectations. While in town we recommend the Inn at Ship Bay and Hogstone for dinner."

Beautiful and convenient location for Orcas visit!
— Sara K., August 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

"Our family of our (2 adults; 2 boys--ages 10 and 14) loved this place. First, Todd and Lori are extremely organized. They emailed to remind us to make ferry reservations, sent a link to detailed information, checked with us right after we arrived and so forth. The house was beautiful and extremely clean--it looks just like the pictures. The location was great since was only 10 minutes from town, 5 minutes from Cascade Lake (with swimming, kayaking etc) and 30 mins from the ferry. We had a lovely time in the hot tub, grilling out back and just hanging out. It was our first time on Orcas. Our only surprise was how few restaurants were open mid-week, so we got caught without a place to eat (hence the grilling!). We loved kayaking and whale watching with Orcas Island Expeditions and just have a wonderful time. I'd highly recommend this house and coming to Orcas!"

We could not have chosen a better location to celebrate our 35th anniversary...
— Dickelle F., July 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern

“We could not have chosen a better location to celebrate our 35th anniversary than Lori and Todd's wonderful airbnb. The home itself is lovely with all the amenities one needs for a comfortable stay- and add to that the wonderful backporch looking out into a wooded area, a fire pit and hot tub for evening relaxation, an occasional visit by a few deer and a friendly neighborhood cat that stopped by regularly to say hello. Lori and Todd communicated with us clearly and were available by text or phone if we needed anything. The four of us all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this airbnb to anyone who plans to explore beautiful Orcas Island as it is conveniently located to every part of the island . We ended our 7 days with a short drive to West Beach to watch the sunset on the bay. If you chose to stay at Lori and Todd's place you will not be disappointed!!!”

"We would like to thank The Doyle's for an amazing stay at Orcas Island Getaway Rosario location. We were so impressed with all the finishing touches and relaxing feel this home offered. The location offers a peaceful setting and is close to Rosario if you want to catch happy hour and a drink. We appreciated the large kitchen to host dinners and prepare breakfast. The coffee machine and hot tub were a hit with me after traveling with a seven month old baby! Our baby loved the open floor plan, and sure enough it gave her enough space she started crawling on the trip! We make so many memories when we stay on the Island and can't wait to visit next year! Thank you again for sharing your home with us! "

Gorgeous, well-stocked house
— Amanda M., June 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

"This house was beautiful! New house with high end furnishings and decor. The best part was how well-stocked this house was - much better than most VRBO houses we have stayed in. They had everything you could need, and lots of nice extra touches. We forgot our baby crib, but they had one in the closet. The only real downside was the house doesn't have a view and is built into a hill, so it was difficult for kids to play outside. But, it was quiet and serene and just minutes from Moran State Park. 
The owners put a lot of thought and effort into this house! Thanks!"

A lovely refuge!!!

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

"Our family was visiting Orcas Island to attend a family wedding. We were in need of a place to stay that allowed dogs. What a delightful surprise we had when we arrived at the home we had rented to find a most wonderful refuge! The owners made sure that their design was welcoming and assured a lovely stay. It was quiet and peaceful and yet included everything for a fun and an entertaining time. Even the deck was set up so that you could close the gate and keep pets and/or kids safe and within sight. The home is modern in design and nicely appointed so that you really can just stay and enjoy the comforts the owners so thoughtfully provided. Whether you want a quiet place to read, nap, and relax, or shoot some pool, watch movies, or play games, this home has it all! We will definitely go back again!!"

"We have been to 9 different vacation rental properties in Oregon and Washington over the last 6 years. This has been the cleanest, most complete, best stocked house We have visited. We only had to bring in our own clothes and perishable food. We felt like our best friends had asked us to use their house while they were gone. The location is convenient to shopping and central to exploring Orcas Island."

— Glenn M., May 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

"This home is beautiful. The owner/host has instructions for use of everything. We really enjoyed the “sound bar” speakers, both the one mounted below the cabinets in the kitchen as well as the portable speaker, too. This was a very nice touch for our family because we love music. Every appliance is here that you could possibly need. The pool table and ping pong were both a hit with us as well. The home is about a ten minute drive to Eastsound where there are plenty of restaurant options and about 5 minutes drive from Moran State Park. Moran is a “must see” and certainly plan a drive to the top of the mountain for 360 degree views of all the surrounding islands. You will love your stay in this home."

An absolutely perfect experience
— Michael L., May 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

"If you are looking for a place to stay on your trip to Orcas Island, look no further. The Orcas Island getaway Rosario property is simply too perfect for words. Situated right next to Moran State Park and just up the road from the Rosario Resort and Spa it offers the perfect balance of amenities and peace. Take a soak in the Hot Tub, Cook dinner for 7 in the spacious and fully equipped kitchen, play ping pong and pool while listening to music with the fabulous sound system, this place has everything. BUT and this is the most important thing you can know about the property. It has Todd and Lori as owners. I had stayed with them at their other property previously and was impressed by their responsiveness and attention to detail. On this trip they out did themselves, stopping in to change a smoke detector alarm battery at the drop of a hat or arranging with the local bottle shop to have a case of wine shipped for me to the islands there is no request to large or small for them. Even if the property was not as amazing as it is...and trust me the photos do not do it justice....they would be worth they price all by themselves. So what are you waiting for....book today...before I take the place for a month!!

“My husband and I stayed here for 4 days with another couple. The place was perfect for our group! It was super clean and the hosts were easy to communicate. We took advantage of al the house had to offer, including the fire pit, hot tub, espresso machine, and portable Bluetooth speaker. It was a short drive to town and to Moran a State Park. Would definitely stay again!”

Fabulous house on Orcas Island...
— Joanne N., March 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

“Fabulous house on Orcas Island and you won’t regret it! Perfect house for a couples weekend or small get together. My group of five came with plans to explore the island but left wishing we spent more time relaxing on the property. For guests who love to cook, this kitchen has lots of counter space, pantry staples, and tools/appliances so be sure to grab groceries when you pass through Eastsound. Bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms were fully stocked with toiletries and extra towels. We didn’t meet the hosts during our stay but they provided detailed instructions about the property and communicated quickly.”

Cozy Orcas Cabin
— Ken B., February 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern

"My friends and I stayed here over a long weekend and we loved it. The house was very nice and clean and we really enjoyed the gas stove fireplace. We brought our dog and were delighted to find toys and treats for her, as well as a nice fenced in back porch where she could sit and a cable out front that she could use to explore the area. The kitchen also had really nice pots and pans and utensils, which was a nice addition. We had a great stay and can't wait to come back."

Great new home.
— Evan W., February 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

"This home was a great option for our family of five. Plenty of room to spread out, fun game room downstairs and the hot tub to relax. Todd was very easy to work with and the home had all the kitchen items we could need. Many rentals don't even provide enough basics in this respect and I felt like this was by far the most well stocked home I have rented. Extremely important if you don't plan to eat out every meal. The best part of this home is the proximity to Moran State Park. You can walk out the door and be on trails in less than 5 minutes. The only thing we missed with this location is being directly on the water. There was a filtered view in winter, but I imagine that would be mostly obstructed when leaves are on trees. This also limited the amount of direct sunlight. The big windows surely helped. This will definitely be an option we consider again on Orcas."

Everything exceeding our expectations. Highly recommended!
— David M., February 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Rosario

“Amazing place! The house was wonderful with awesome views. We loved every moment, from booking to checking out. Lori and Todd gave us amazing recommendations and even better hospitality. Being able to bring our pups, without sacrificing five star service, was an absolute blessing. Our dogs loved the large windows and being able to watch the scenery (sorry for the nose smudges) as well as just basking in the sun. The house came equipped with fun for humans and pups! Everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!”

“What a great place! With these places you expect them to be oversold., we always bring some of our own kitchen stuff as rentals tend to have poor quality gear, but this little place was the exception in every way! Beautifully equipped. Perfect location. A home with lots of love. Thanks, Todd & Lori!”

Wonderful Weekend Get-Away
— Debby S., January 2018

Property: Orcas Island Getaway @ Bracken Fern
“Not very often do the VRBO properties GREATLY exceed our expectations. Our long weekend getaway was perfect and more. From the minute we reserved the property through heading home it was a wonderful experience. We received quick response and clear communication. Even when I was lack to follow up. The house was clean, homey, and packed with the essentials including a hot-tub and necessary kitchen supplies. We had fun touring the island, visiting Rosarios Resort and enjoyed a few meals in town with family. The weather cooperated too. The puppies had a good relaxing time and enjoyed the toys, bedding and extra blankets. We hope to visit again soon. ”
