Shore Thing Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Shore Thing Retreat is a beautiful waterfront escape on Orcas Island, designed for easy, restorative days by the sea—and yes, it’s dog-friendly. Tucked along a scenic stretch between the ferry landing and the charming village of Eastsound, the home feels private and peaceful while remaining close to restaurants, shops, and island adventures. Clean, modern finishes blend with cozy Pacific Northwest touches to create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, the space feels open, restful, and made for unwinding.

Each of the three thoughtfully designed bedrooms features its own bathroom, offering flexible accommodations for families, couples, or small groups who want both comfort and privacy. Shared spaces invite connection—whether it’s movie nights, board games, or simply curling up with a good book.

Outside, a private hot tub and cabana turn evenings into a soak-and-stargaze ritual. Unwind after a day exploring Moran State Park or paddling the Salish Sea, surrounded by fresh ocean air and rustling trees. With minimal light pollution, the night sky becomes part of the experience. Prefer to stay dry? The expansive back deck offers loungers and a large outdoor sofa, perfect for relaxing afternoons. For a little friendly competition, enjoy ping pong on the front porch or set up a game of cornhole on the lawn.

Bring the whole crew—dogs included. From the off-leash dog park in town to scenic shoreline walks and pine-lined trails, Orcas Island offers plenty of ways to explore together. Then return to Shore Thing Retreat, where both people and pups can settle in and relax.

b>THINGS TO KNOW
Dogs must be leashed when outside and should not be left in the home alone.

Lovely Vacation Rental

The back deck overlooking the trees and water was the perfect place for a group of 6 to relax and enjoy the scenery. The house was comfortable and nicely furnished. We found the house clean with plenty of extra linens. Great bathtub. Quiet and fairly secluded location. We would definitely rent this house again.

Serene Orcas Escape Ideal for a Small Group

Our small group of four adults and one pup greatly enjoyed Shore Thing Retreat. We were easily able to spread out into our own spaces, gathering in the kitchen, living room, and outside deck with exceptional eastsound views. We were a short drive into town and enjoyed all of the amenities, smart TV, well stocked kitchen with coffee maker and teapot, and fenced pet relief area.

Great family retreat in quiet setting

Lovely home in a quiet setting with a view between the trees of the water. The house was well furnished, easily accommodated our family group of 3 couples. Loved the deck, and the side yard perfect for our small dog. Located centrally on the island--easy to visit any location. would love to return in future.

Well equipped and cozy

Terrific views of the sound, boats, eagles, etc. we were six people, two in each bedroom, and very comfortable. There is no direct access to the beach, but that seems to be an issue all over Orcas, unless you stay at a place that has its own beach.

Great Place!!

Loved staying here: the view was 4 out of 5, making hanging out on the deck a must - even all bundled up from the cold... Especially since the fireplace made it pleasurable going in to warm up. The island was amazing, so location isn't going to be a problem no matter where you stay. Furnishings and amenities were really nice, and the kitchen (surprisingly to me at least) had everything you could think of plus some - no creative solutions necessary!!

The WiFi - we let the property manager know and they fixed it when they could. The house was nice. No water access. Just trees with water distant views. I would stay here again- especially if I do not need fast internet.
