In the 10 years we have vacationed on Orcas this was the best. Certainly the good weather helped, but a lot of the enjoyment came from being at your house. Thank you. I've enclosed a file that is a picture taken from the front porch.

We just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for allowing us to stay at your home on Orcas Island. We had such an enjoyable time from the moment we pulled up until the last look as we drove away. It just reiterated why we wanted to come back--the setting, the privacy, the scenery, the house, etc. It's hard to describe it to others, words just don't do it justice. We so enjoyed just sitting on the porch and staring at the water, the ferries, the sunsets, etc. Your folks, Bill and Joanne, are so sweet and helpful. Your father did let us use the row boat, which we did a couple of times.
We will definitely be in contact again about trying to get another week next summer or thereafter.
Thank you again for the opportunity. Tell your parents thank you (again) for us when you talk with them. And tell them to thank Margie again for us for taking our daughter on a horseback ride and letting her help with the grooming of the horses. We certainly didn't expect that and it sure made her day!

Just thought that you might enjoy the attached picture I took the last time we stayed in your home. I just love how the deer stands out against your red barn. Can't wait to go back up there

The house was FANTASTIC! We so did not want to leave.... What beautiful scenery you get and all the wildlife we saw that you sure do not get down here in Los Angeles. I am hoping you will be able to keep renting it because we would love to come back!!!! My only suggestion would be to add a "guest book" so everyone could comment on the wonderful time they had there!

We had a wonderful time again this summer at the Olga Beach House! What a great place to go to relax and sit on the porch drinking coffee and watching the eagles, deer and otter. This year we went on a whale watching trip and had the good luck to see 3 pods - about 65 whales - meet up and greet each ther. My dad took this great picture of an orca breaching. Thanks again!

I wanted you to know how much we enjoyed last week. The property is obviously very special and we would like to get a reminder when you are taking reservations for next year.
PS. I really had a good time talking with your dad and he did let us use his boat to do a little crabbing on the last day of the season. We ended up with two legal keepers.

What a FABULOUS place! That was amazing! Thank you for the nice offer of an extra day/late checkout too. I wish we could have stayed another day..actually I'd like to stay forever ...
Your parents were really nice; everything was just PERFECT.
We go up there every few months (off season, no summers because I like it when it's quieter) so hopefully we'll be back to your place soon.

We had a wonderful time. The house is extremely comfortable and the grounds and view are, well, remarkable. Please let us know when you begin booking for next summer as we are very interested in returning, probably around the same time. We can’t remember a more relaxing vacation

We really enjoyed our trip, it was tuff to leave and head back to the real world. The setting is so amazing, you just can't find many places like yours these days without breaking the bank. Please keep me in your contacts list for next years schedule - hopefully we will be able to make it back!
