Water View, Impeccable Studio Cottage overlooking East Sound, Walk to Town, Close to Everything!

With beautiful views of East Sound on Orcas Island, this charming, studio cottage was fully updated in 2019. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and the Eastsound Waterfront Park. Enjoy the sunrise and East Sound views from the deck, the sofa, and even the comfortable queen size bed in this lovely 300 sq. ft. cottage. This is the perfect solo or couple's 'getaway' cottage with all new appliances, quartz countertops, tile bathroom, comfy bedding and new flooring.




We offer a contactless checkin with a keypad code for the front door. At the same time, as your host, I am available each day during normal business hours of 8 am- 5 pm, and 24/7 for non-life threatening emergencies.

Located on the edge of Eastsound, you'll find a small number of picturesque cottages lined up on a hillside overlooking the water and town below. With tall trees, and a friendly neighborhood, Wild Currant Cottage is the perfect combination of "in-town" with a rural feel. The main road into Eastsound is below the cottage, so there will be some traffic noise during the busy times of the year.

The cottage kitchen is an amazingly spacious area with a full-sized, electric Avanti stovetop and oven, and microwave mounted above. There are plenty of kitchen gadgets, blender, hand-mixer, cookware and bakeware to make your favorite meals. We offer a coffee bar with a selection of Pete's coffee, teas, stevia, sugar and creamer. There is both a drip coffeemaker and French press along with a coffee grinder. With spices and oil stashed in the cabinets, you'll find all that you need. This Studio space is so finely crafted that it even offers a full-sized refrigerator and a stackable washer and dryer! Please note, though, there is no dishwasher, so hand washing is required.

The living room has a comfy, love seat and swivel chair with views out the French doors to the deck and water beyond. Curl up with a throw blanket and stream your favorite movies on the Smart TV, or play some of the board games provided. The sofa has a pull-out twin bed and linens for an additional guest.

The queen bed is open to the room, yet is tucked back into its own private nook. A sturdy Captain's bed frame adds storage for clothing and items brought, along with a small closet for hanging your finer wear. A small iron and board are provided!

The custom-tiled bathroom offers a large shower and vanity with all the amenities you need and plenty of towels.

Outside there is a bistro table and chairs for dining alfresco, and a gas BBQ for grilling. We provide a full tank and tools, so just bring your secret sauce recipe!

With fast, reliable Wifi with speeds up to 50mbps, this is a wonderful 'work-cation' cottage for the Digital Nomad!

Come dream with us at Wild Currant Cottage!

Great cottage in perfect location to explore Orcas Island
We loved our stay in the Eastsound cottage. It was close enough to walk into town and centrally located for exploring the island. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We particularly enjoyed the deck to watch beautiful moonrise.

Great Cabin for Couples Retreat
Wild Currant Cottage makes for a great home base from which to explore all the San Juan Islands has to offer. The cabin is well equipped, clean, and comfortable, with an easy walk to town and a short drive to parks, beaches, and hiking trails. The only downside is the traffic noise which is not an issue at night and not enough of an annoyance to keep us from booking again.

Beautiful stay on Orcas
We absolutely loved our stay! The cottage was clean and beautiful and easy walking distance to the main part of Eastsound. It was a great getaway while being right off the main road. We loved the space and was perfect to be able to cook, read outside, and explore Orcas. Sherri was responsive and super helpful. Thank you!

Nice, neat, small place
Very clean, comfortable, centrally located accom. Nice view of East Sound. Close to town (walkable). Good for 2 people. Gets noisy when day gets busy (cars, trucks, aircraft) but, you are close to things. Good value for $$.

Orcas
We were totally pleased with the property. Great view, great location, all amenities provided. Beware that most restaurants are closed on weekdays so you may be cooking, but the kitchen overlooks the inlet so cooking was lovely and you have everything needed to make a meal. Orcas is hands down the best San Juan Island for scenery, hiking and relaxation.
