ROMANTIC WATERFRONT VACATION RENTAL GUEST COTTAGE ON ORCAS ISLAND. HOT TUB, TOO!

When you're looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone, Orcas Island's Paris Cottage may be just what you envision. This waterfront vacation rental home will delight your senses with its interior warmth and beautiful natural setting. It features southwest views through a wall of windows in the living room and a private sand and gravel beach just across the street ( If you bring a kayak, the beach is a great launching site.)

The surrounding scenery is mesmerizing in all seasons. No doubt you will spot the eagle that makes his home in a nearby tree as he awaits the salmon that enter the creek running into the bay. Canadian geese will entertain you as they flock in 2 1/2 acres of nearby farmland and fields, and you might bring a carrot for the neighbor's horses who graze next door. But the birdlife, sailboat and ferry traffic, vistas over Lopez Island and Cattle Point, sunsets reflecting off the Olympic Mountains are just the beginning of the pleasure you’ll find staying at Paris Cottage.

French doors lead outside where you’ll relax in a screened alcove shaded with parasols, or on a deck with a double chaise and privacy screen. At day's end you can soak away the cares of elsewhere in the hot tub. Paris, France is know as the “City of Light” - the “Island of Starlight” is Paris Cottage on beautiful Orcas Island.

Paris Cottage is in the quiet hamlet of Olga, a 20 minutes drive from Eastsound Village and a 45 minute drive from the ferry dock. You’ll pass through spectacular Moran State Park on the way, where you will likely want to return for hiking and swimming.

    We had a wonderful stay in this house. The amenities were wonderful and we very much enjoyed the modern twist on this older house. The island was absolutely beautiful, both in its people and environment. We will definitely return!

    a guest from Portland, OR recommends this vacation rental

    We loved it. But there are always surprises. The unwanted surprises: we could only use our canoe at high tide as you are not allowed to cross the mud flats at low tide. There were no comfortable reading chairs for a tall person. The bridge construction right next door wasn't too loud. The towels weren't completely dry when we went to use them the first time. Tall man always bumping into things including bathroom door which was narrower than his shoulders. The good surprises: incredible bird watching, very quiet end of the island, proximity to Moran State Park, walk to Olga Cafe/village, charming interior design. Thanks for having us!

    Overall an excellent stay. Only concern is that there needs to be a little more deep cleaning. Dusty especially under the bed with some things left over from previous tenants.

      Thanks for the feedback - we'll reinforce the housekeeper checklist. Glad you had a good time!

    John I from Fair Oaks, CA recommends this vacation rental

    The house is tastefully and imaginatively decorated. We can only imagine that it was the owners' labor of love. The view/location is stunning. Although small house's connection to outside gives a feeling of spaciousness. We hope to return one day.

    We loved the location and design of the property. The view is beautiful and house and deck make wonderful use of this. The house is very small and cozy, so probably not a fit for large people or groups, but perfect for a couple...or a retreat if you are on your own.

    a guest from Canby, OR recommends this vacation rental

    We were very pleasantly surprised by this tiny little cabin. Located in a small little bay with small farms around and on the far side of the island it was an incredibly relaxing spot to get away. Attention to detail was well done in making this small cabin a comfortable getaway. No major complaints...the gas fireplace didn't work (but there is baseboard heating so we didn't need it) and the fountain outside wasn't working. We had an incredible stay! No cell or internet service was excellent for being able to leave the world behind. We didn't even turn on the satellite tv!

      Hi Kyle, We're glad to hear how much you enjoyed Paris Cottage. We're looking into the fireplace and fountain issues, thanks for letting us know.

    Ryan F from San Jose, CA recommends this vacation rental

    The Paris Cottage lived up to all my expectations concerning the location, amenities, and overall comfort of our stay. The one thing I would recommend to the management company is to not supply cheesy hotel type soaps and bathroom supply. I suggest getting
    something local to complement the meticulous effort put into the house, and make the visitors feel more like a home, not a hotel.

    a guest from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

    We had a wonderful visit to Orcas Island, and it was in large part due to our stay at Paris Cottage. The views and surroundings are spectactular, and the attention to detail is wonderful.

    We enjoyed evenings of grilling and lounging on the deck while we watched the wildlife and sunsets.

    The only disappointment was the condition of the hot tub. The actual tub is very nice, but the water was disgusting...when we turned on the jets it looked like there was little bits of skin floating throughout the water. Needless to say, we didn't use it again - which was too bad because it would have been really enjoyable in the cooler evenings after a day of hiking and kayaking.

    Overall, it was a great stay! Thank you

    Bill G from Goldbar, WA recommends this vacation rental

    The refrig. was set so cold,almost everything froze and we had to throw everything away, big expense. One other thing. The hot tub was working good, but there were lots of little white skin like things floating in the water every time we used it. Aside from those two things, we had a good time.

    Rod B from Scotts Valley, CA recommends this vacation rental

    Overall an excellent destination. Great wildlife, proximity to Moran and Obstrution Pass parks, quiet, peaceful. Buck's Bay out the front window with the moon reflecting off the water, changing of the tides, fish jumping out of the water, blue herons, Candian geese, is a great backdrop for a visit. There were lots of ripe blackberries pickable along the driveway which we used to make a blackberry sauce with Muccat Canelli dessert wine poured over ice cream ... too good! Only gripes were that the DVD player in the living room was broken (one of two, so not so bad) and one of the visitors prior to us had abused long distance phone privaleges so only calls within the San Juans was possible, which was a problem (we have 2 small kids saying with grandparents) because there is no cell coverage at the cottage. The property manager and owner came through though for us though and were VERY helpful!

    Christina B from Marion, MA does not recommend this vacation rental.

    As we never stayed in our rental, I can't comment except to say that it was too far away from the wedding that we were attending. I was very disappointed that your organization would place us at such great a distance. We ended up staying elsewhere so our experience was not satisfying.

    • Manager Responded on 9/3/2010

      As you admit, your comments are not reflective of this lovely home as you declined to stay there. We're sorry that you were disappointed, but our website does show the location of this home. Visitors might note that Orcas Island is primarily rural with two-lane roads that wind around the shoreline and mountains; driving distances seem farther than the equivalent mileage in an urban area.
