Incredible Oracs home

We loved staying at Hooks Nest - this was our second year at the home. The house is beautifully finished, immaculately clean, and well-stocked for a comfortable stay. Sherri, the host, was easy to get in touch with. The view at the house is particularly spectacular - we loved looking out at the water from so many rooms. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Home. Fantastic View!

Had our annual family vacation at this home. The home was clean and beautiful. Loved the decks and outside fireplace. The view was beyond gorgeous. Home had everything we needed. The whole family will be reminiscing about this year's vacation for years to come.

Wonderful!

Amazing rental property secluded on orcas island. Had a family reunion here and thought it was amazing. Amazing amenities and we will definitely be staying here again. I will say on a hotter day (it was record temperatures in July) it can get hot on second floor because there is no AC. We used fans in closet and opened windows at night (cools off down into the 50s) and we were fine, but something to be aware of. Again I highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to orcas. Dave

Gorgeous Property

This property was amazing. The view is gorgeous. Then add in the home is beautiful and very comfortable. There is everything in the home you would need or want. Even more. There were interesting books in almost every room to enjoy. An added surprise. The deck made the perfect place to read and enjoy the stunning water view during down times. The home is close to hiking and kayaking, so in all, this place can not be beat in my eyes. We want to return!

Best Vacation Rental I've ever had

The house and setting is beautiful. In addition the house was very well equipped with top quality cookware and a well supplied pantry. Beds and bedding were first rate. Perfect house for a big family. I can't think of anything that would have improved our stay!

Spectacular home on the water

The most beautiful home I’ve been to on the island hands down. Incredible views and architecture of the home. The house came with everything, a great kitchen to cook with, multiple places to sit and relax outside, every bed was so comfortable, incredibly clean, activities like games, everything you could possibly need while on vacation. 100% recommend and would stay here again.

Beautiful waterfront home

Secluded on a private road Hooks Nest is the best rental house we have stayed in on Orcas Island. Clean, organized and elegantly designed this home is worth the price.

Magical

Beautifully crafted home, every detail is thoughtfully designed and extremely functional. Stellar views across the water. And one of my most important values - a very comfortable bed! Just remember to book your ferry reservations well in advance.

Exceptional experience

This property is exceptional in every way. The location is quiet and private. There is the occasional fog horn from the ferry, of course, but other than that, this is a very serene place to be. The house was beautiful. The architectural attention to detail truly made this a wonderful time for my wife and me.

Spectacular home and location

Not only is Hook’s Nest spotless, well maintained and equipped, the home also boasts one of the best views and locations on the island. Peaceful and quiet yet just a short drive to the ferry and town. We all loved relaxing watching the boats go by and enjoying stunning sunsets each night. Everything is in top shape and felt almost brand new from comfortable beds, plenty of linens/towels to well stocked kitchen and excellent outdoor BBQ grill. We look forward to coming again!!

Even better than advertised!

I cannot say enough about this property on Orcas Island. It was even better than expected, and our expectations were already high. The setting is magnificent - with stunning sunrise/sunsets and ferries going by daily -- but the house itself is the best we've ever rented. It is perfect for a large family, with multiple gathering spaces. The attention to architectural detail and craftsmanship sets it apart, and the kitchen is remarkable. I would rent this property over and over again. Thanks, too, to the super property manager who guided us through check-in and check-out.

Orcas Island Family Getaway

Absolutely beautiful home in a stunning location. Complete privacy yet close to the ferry and grocery store. The home was designed and constructed by architects and contractors of the highest caliber. Kitchen was completely equipped and all of the basic spices, condiments, cooking oils , etc. we’re in stock. The den had a large collection of DVDs and there were numerical TVs in the house, although we didn’t find the time to watch any. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces both functioned flawlessly. We had three adult couples and two teenagers and everyone had beautiful accommodations. Wonderful place to reconnect with your loved ones and your inner self. Best vacation rental we have ever booked and look forward to our next visit!

Wow what a gorgeous house and view!

My wife and I had an amazing stay at Hook's Nest. The posted pictures are not as grand as the actual stunning beauty in person. This house, this property, really is as good as it gets on Orcas. The house was clearly designed and built to flaunt the natural beauty around it while offering peace, privacy, and comfort. Three days of bliss was rejuvenating to our lives. Thank you Sara for your hospitality.

Spectacular lake retreat

Hook’s Nest was the perfect place for our three generation vacation with six adults and two babies. Every detail in the house is perfect, and the views and serenity are spectacular. We’ve stayed in 20 or so VRBO properties, and this is certainly the finest.
