Gulf Island Panorama it located in The Highlands area of Orcas Island with a panoramic view looking west over East Sound Bay and north to the Gulf Islands of Canada. With a wonderful view-side deck, providing a view from on high, and a place to sit wine-in-hand as the sun sets in the west, life doesn't get much better in the Islands. This gracious three bedroom+/two bath home, built on two levels with a reverse floorplan ticks all of the boxes for luxurious comfort. The large yard is wonderfully landscaped in a very natural, yet beautiful way.

Upstairs we find the living room, dining room, kitchen all in a great room concept. Living room picture windows showcase the beautiful view as well as illuminate the well-furnished interior and several sitting areas. Off to one side of the living room is a comfortable TV room for snuggling in with an evening's show on Dish satellite HDTV. The dining area seats 8 in comfort, also with view. The adjacent kitchen is a true cook's kitchen with large counters and all of the appliances including two drawer dishwasher.

Down the upstairs hall is a guest bath and the Master suite with King size poster bed, luxury mattress, view and original art on the walls. The ensuite tile bath has a walk-in shower and double vanity for guest convenience.

Downstairs are two lovely additional king bedrooms and a shared bath with tile heated floors and a combination tub/shower. There is also a reading room for taking a few moments out of the main areas for catching up on a good book.

Gulf Island Panorama is true comfort and amazing views all within an easy five minute drive from Eastsound Village. This home will book rapidly now that it is available, so don't wait on your reservations.

There are 14 steps up to the front door.

Guests who wish to use videoconferencing, streaming services, or multiple simultaneous internet connections should be aware that performance may not meet the levels they are accustomed to.

Chill on island time

Beautifully decorated and spacious. Space to gather and space for privacy. Everything clean and in working order. Alot of serving and cookware if you want to cook in, but bring everything you need including basic cooking oil. An awesome deck view where there is dining furniture but unfortunately no lounge furniture. Great location a short drive to Eastsound, Rosario and State park

Beautiful home, amazing view

The house is even more beautiful than the pictures. We booked it for a family reunion with our adult children and their partners. Lots of communal space as well as privacy. The deck is amazing. I would return again. The oven was not working properly and it would be nice to have that fixed. Otherwise, wonderful house.

Great Family Home with Gorgeous Views of Surrounding Islands

Clean and well-appointed home with plenty of space, great western views (good sunsets) looking down on the water and surrounding islands. Large kitchen, dining area and living room, all combined to make a wonderful shared space for visiting. Private setting tucked away in trees and very quiet. Would be a clear 5-star rating, except there were a couple broken items, such as oven, master bedroom toilet, fireplace and one GFI outlet. We'd happily rent again!

Love this house!

We returned again to this great house! It’s a wonderful place! We come again and again. They do have a few appliance that need tending too. We have them broke for longer than a year. This did not stop us from having a love affair with this house- but would like to see them fixed. See you next year! Elliott Rose

Disappointed but still a favorite.

This was our 4th time staying in this home and it's still our favorite. That being said, we were disappointed when we arrived for our Thanksgiving holiday to find the main oven in need of repair. The convection part worked which was a little tricky to figure out. We ended up ordering our side dishes from the Orcas Hotel and reheating them in the microwave. Luckily, I had smoked our Turkey ahead of time at home which saved the meal. Other items in need of repair are the front door screen which gets stuck and locked us in, heaters in the living room and downstairs bedroom are broken. The property manager did provide space heaters at our request. The lights in the living room fans are out as well so it was very dark in there. We were VERY grateful that the power stayed on during the Thanksgiving Day storm. I didn't see any flashlights which would be a nice touch in the Winter. All in all, we made some wonderful memories and will come back again. We have been coming to Orcas for almost 40 years now and this is still our favorite home.

Gorgeous place, great view, well stock kitchen

Man this place was gorgeous. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, which is a huge plus for us. We like to cook and we had brought some things up to make cinnamon buns in the morning expecting that the kitchen wouldn't have a few things, but it had everything. Weber Grill on the deck with a great view. plenty of table space outside and inside. I mean all around the house itself was a great experience. So why 4 stars instead of 5? There had been communication beforehand about us expecting a pack n play and a high chair for one of the infants that we had with us. Those were not there. This would have been a huge inconvenience, had it not been for the fact that we had another rental in the area for the other side of the family that had an extra pack n play. The management company had reached out to us and offered to drop one off at night or in the morning and they did that with no contact drop off, so they were accommodating. Just can't give it a perfect rating because of that.

Another Enjoyable Visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Panorama 277 offered a warm retreat from blustery December days hiking on the island! It's location is perfect for enjoying both Moran State Park and Eastsound. Our party of 5 thoroughly enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and spacious living room with great views.

Price Doesn't Match Amenities

I put off writing this review because I know how hard it is to maintain a vacation rental and don't like giving negative reviews. However, VRBO kept sending me emails requesting feedback so here it is. The Good: This is a very large house with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, lovely outdoor spaces, the coolest piano you've ever seen and great views. The Bad: The house needs some updates. Not a deal breaker but for the price, everything should be perfect. VRBO allows searches based on amenities and we used the "fireplace" search option because we knew it was going to be a cold, dark and rainy weekend. The property manager was very helpful but this is something to let guests know about ahead of time in the future. The in-floor heat in the master bath was not working, the floor was ICE cold and a strobe light was flashing on the wall mounted heat control the whole time. The televisions and options for playing music are two decades old technology. The REALLY Bad: A dishwasher repair man showed up at 9:30am on Saturday morning while we were still in our pajamas. We were not told about this. He was a nice guy, but informing guests about these things ahead of time is a basic courtesy. The Recap: A nice big house with lots of space to share a family meal and enjoy the gorgeous view. However, we've rented many VRBO homes over the years and this is the most expensive VRBO we've ever rented. Quite simply, at this price, EVERYTHING should be perfect, or the price should be lowered by a few hundred dollars.
