We’ve been making visitors feel right at home in the beautiful San Juan Islands since 1997. We’re the largest, and most experienced, management agency in the Islands, representing 70+ exceptional vacation rental homes. Our staff is local, knowledgeable, and ready to help you select the perfect vacation rental!
As the owners of NW Island Escapes, we each have deep rooted connections to the islands, dating back to our childhoods. John started the vacation rental management company in 1997 when he purchased the Windermere San Juan Island real estate office. As part of the purchase, the company managed 6 vacation rental homes. Since that time, the business has grown to include Orcas Island, Lopez Island, and La Conner.
NW Island Escapes is currently headquartered on Orcas Island, as that is where we call home. This is also the island that our commercial laundry facility is located where we dispatch our supplies and linens from. We travel between the islands via the ferries and our own boat to meet prospective homeowners and service our guests when needed.
We take great pride in owning and operating a company that helps more than 10,000 guests per year make incredible vacation memories. We are continuously sourcing products and procedures to make us better Stewards of the Islands, reducing overall waste, and emphasizing sustainability. Together, with our incredible team, we look forward to continuing to serve these islands for many years to come.
Sincerely,
John & Mariah Dunning, owners NW Island Escapes

Recently voted one of the world’s most exciting ferry rides and Washington State’s newest Scenic Byway, your trip through Puget Sound to the San Juan Islands promises beautiful views of mountains, forests and an intimate connection to the ocean and her inhabitants. Glimpses of Orca Whales, Harbor Seals, Porpoises, and Sea Lions are not uncommon. The driving tours take you through groves of rich green cedars and moss covered rocks with eagles soaring above. Moderate temperatures and very little rain during the summer months make the islands ideal for all kinds of activities such as bird watching, boating, fishing, kayaking and hiking. There’s no place more beautiful for recreation, relaxation and rejuvenation.
