**Please note: While staying at the Captain's Quarters you will hear neighboring sounds from the often rented above vacation rental. We do our best to manage this by having placed signage in the above unit and providing items such as a sound machine in the Captains Quarters. Although we have hosted many guests where this has not had an effect on their stay we do recommend taking this into consideration during the booking process. Again for full transparency, the chances are high that you will hear neighboring sounds throughout the duration of your stay**

A kitchen table with seating for 4 is a great option for enjoying the fruits of your labor, however we highly suggest walking out on to the deck to enjoy at least one of your meals if not your morning coffee or local brew.
The deck is easily the gem of this stay. You'll be a stone's throw from fresh Salish sea breeze. Watch the boats slip in and out of the harbor, sea planes skillfully land, families recreating at the beach and sea birds eagerly monitor the beach for low tide. **something about it being shared**
A propane grill allows you to fully engage the deck area if you're in the mood.
If not, plenty of options nearby can satisfy your cravings. Island Pie, the Marina Grill (groceries, espresso, beer and wine too), and Matthew's Smokehouse will not disappoint.

In order to book these in unison we suggest scoping out availability in advance. Send us a message, we're happy to help coordinate.
Deer Harbor is a quiet village outside of the main hub of Eastsound on Orcas. There's a good local hum to the area, yet you'll feel plenty removed from the city and its general busyness.
Being that the Captain's Quarters are within a larger building it would be good of us to advise that if you are looking for complete quiet, a stand alone home may better suit your needs. General noise from time to time may be heard and we wouldn't want to leave you unadvised.
This is also a great option for meeting up with your friends who boated on in and are tied up at the Marina.
If you're looking for an adventurous getaway from the city just imagine hoping aboard a float plane, gliding into a protected inlet, taking a short stroll up through the marina and settling in the Captain's Quarters for while. Everything you need within reach. It's possible, and we're here to help make those beautiful escapes a reality!
The Captain's Quarters allows you access to the one bedroom unit. The attached deck is yours to access as well. There is a tenant who occupies a small portion of the outermost deck, however they do not have access to any portion of the Captain Quarters deck area. We encourage you to also enjoy and utilize the marina and sandy beach across the way as well. You will also have access to one parking spot dedicated to the Captain's Quarters. Additional street parking is available.
Deer Harbor is nestled between two peninsulas on the west side of Orcas Island. You'll find plenty of outdoor activities right at your doorstep. Kayaking, whale watching, sailing, beach combing and more. The village also features plenty of dining options within walking distance. Pizza from Island Pie, the Dock Store at Deer Harbor Marina has all the snacks you need plus grilled burgers and sandwiches. Just up the road is Matts BBQ, perfect for the family to sit outdoors and play lawn games.
Deer Harbor is just under 20 minutes to downtown Eastsound. The most pleasant views will guide you there, sprawling farmlands, madronas dotting the coastline and surrounding mountain views.
The Harbormaster House is located roughly 20 minutes to both downtown Eastsound and the Ferry Landing. Once in Deer Harbor you'll be assigned your very own free parking space. Within the village you will not need your vehicle, you can easily walk to the Marina and surrounding areas.
No pets are allowed at this property. No smoking inside the apartment or on the deck as the smoke could easily penetrate indoors and the space of others.
Quiet retreat, however others in and around the building could cause noise and therefore not be suitable for someone seeking complete silence.
Could be rented with a larger 3 bedroom unit located upstairs with separate entrance.
