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 eagles that come to feed off of scraps provided by the neighboring shellfish farm (sometimes up to seven eagles!), or await 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. But the bird life, 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.

Inside, you’ll relish the special warmth of cozy spaces. There is a queen bed, with a brand new mattress of the same type as used in the Belmont Hotel suites in New York City. An architecturally designed custom headboard on the bed includes sliding windows at pillow height – adjustable on each side for fresh air while sleeping . The dining room is like a greenhouse, surrounded by windows overlooking the countryside. Through a narrow doorway you’ll find the bathroom offering a small shower and Italian sink. There’s a flat screen HD/TV with satellite reception and a DVD. The living room has comfortable down-filled armchairs with a spectacular view.

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 known 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 minute 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. Buck Bay Shellfish farm is a family run business that is within walking distance of the home where they have a wonderful array of seafood to purchase, as well as a Bistro cafe. Nearby is Catkins Cafe for breakfast or lunch to enjoy a meal or two.

Peak Season rates will apply to Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday dates. Also note due to its size and styling, this cottage is not suitable for children. If you have specific questions regarding this home, please let us answer your questions prior to you booking the home.

Please Note: this home has a ramp and no steps to the entrance. The charcoal grill is not available for use when burn ban is in effect.

Amazing Getaway Location!

My partner had never been to Orcas Island, and so it was my immense pleasure to introduce him to this lovely cottage! I have stayed here twice before, and each time I left feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed - this stay was no different. The hot tub is one of the best features of this home, and the views of Buck Bay and Puget Sound are absolutely breathtaking. We hiked through Mt. Constitution and enjoyed the Cascade Falls which was a magical journey. Anyone who has the blessed opportunity to experience this most beloved cottage will not be disappointed!

Great location and cute house

The property is in a great location. We loved getting to enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck in the morning and a cocktail in the hot tub at night, both with a great view of the bay. Being located just a short walk to the oyster farm made for a nice lunch. The house its self was very cute and cozy. We took advantage of the full kitchen. We would definitely recommend this place.

Hidden gem

Unique, cute cottage tucked in a bay full of birds and wildlife. The views are picturesque, especially from the two-seater hot tub on the porch or through the large windows in the home. Cottage has an excellent, well stocked kitchen which is key with there are few restaurants on Orcas Island. The bedroom and bathroom are a little cramped, but also well stocked.

Perfect get away

What’s not to like? A sweet, cozy little home, with a fairly well-appointed kitchen (bring spices if you want them + oil and other standards), a tiny bath (but good shower) and comfortable bedroom. The view of the bay is a knockout. The view of the bay from the hot tub is a dream. We can’t wait to go back. Maybe this time BuckBay Oysters will be open! What a disappointment to miss it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic time! Peaceful. Beautiful surroundings. The whole of Orcas Island to explore! And what could be better than a shellfish grower next door with fresh shellfish, crab, and fish?! The cottage itself was beautiful, and we will certainly return.

Mesmerizing!!

This getaway was perfect for what I was looking for! My dog and I wanted a relaxing week with some exploring and hiking. The place was very clean and well appointed. The weather was warm and dry. The view was mesmerizing watching the tide empty out the bay and fill back in, along with the sounds of the birds. The property is large with little traffic. we hiked at Mt Constitution, Cascade Lake, and Obstruction Pass. The views of the surrounding islands are beautiful! Lastly, the bed was heavenly! I would come back for sure!

Pleasant

Nice stay. Kept warm and view of bay was lovely. Appliances were of high quality and appeared new. I had difficulty with the bathroom sink drain. I enjoyed exploring Orcas Island. Felt like I was integrated into the community. No other rentals in view. Bathroom had the feel of a boats head. Everything was there but it was tight. If owner is interested I do fine pruning and would be interested in taking on the care of your plants. Hot tub was glorious!

Disappointing without a functional Hot Tub and Fireplace

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I've never given a negative review on VRBO before & that in itself is disappointing. We love Orcas Island and the location, deck & view from Paris Cottage are lovely. However, the hot tub & gas fireplace were both inoperable, which put a serious damper on our anniversary weekend in rainy October. As soon as we arrived, we checked on the hot tub (to see if it was warm & ready for a dip) & found that it was filled with water (& leafs) for less than 1/4 of its capacity and was luke warm. We followed the posted instructions to fill the tub from the garden hose & then realized that the LED display was missing/broken so there was no way to heat the hot tub. As it was Friday at 5:30 PM, we called the phone number provided & the property management company said they would have someone call us back right away. Later that evening, we discovered the remote control to the gas fireplace in the living room was missing (we looked everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found) & there are no manual controls. As we hadn't received a return call, we called the property management company again at 12:30 on Saturday. We were promptly connected with Paul, who was very nice & attentive, but eventually informed us that the hot tub was scheduled for replacement & we'd be unable to use it during our stay. The remote control to the fireplace was dropped off late Saturday afternoon, but we were never able to get it to work. We were given a $20 + tax refund for each of our two nights. The covered patio, outside deck & firepit are wonderful, but the cottage could use a little spruce. It was very clean but the furnishings/paint inside aren't great. The cabin is next door to Buck Bay Shellfish Farm, which we'd visited before - it's lovely and worth a visit. We didn't mind, but note that when the tide goes out at Buck Bay, it's pretty smelly outside including on the deck of the cottage. If we'd known about the hot tub & fireplace, we'd have booked elsewhere. Once they fix them, it'll be nice.

Relaxing stay

Very well appointed cozy cottage, perfect for us looking to get away for a few days from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. Beautiful view of the East Sound. Enjoyed the screened in porch, though I imagine in hotter weather could be somewhat uncomfortable, but the day temperatures were just right for spending a lot of time there. Easy walk to the neighboring Buck Bay Bay Shellfish Farm for some of the best halibut fish and chips anywhere.
