Envision your dream Orcas Island vacation home and you’re likely imagining Deer Point Paradise! Homes of this caliber are rarely offered for vacation rental. Located in one of the most desirable enclaves on Orcas Island, you will find this heavenly property at the end of a wooded lane, nestled into a sunny acre with southern exposure, and facing the sparkling sea. One’s own accessible waterfront is always desired in a dream vacation home but rarely found, making the fantastic private beach on the property a cherished commodity. A gentle path leads from the home to the secluded crescent of sand, rock, and drift where you can enjoy private picnics or simply retreat and be soothed by the restoring elements of sun and sea.

The home is the epitome of the Pacific Northwest Island style, blending into the landscape with understated sophistication. The rooms ramble along the bluff to allow a view of the sea through every primary window. Interiors are clad in wood, skylights draw in the light, and the living room enjoys a beautiful view of passing boats. The fixtures and surfaces are upscale and furnishings are stylish and new throughout the home.

Offering 3 bedrooms and a loft, each with their own en-suite bathroom, Deer Point Paradise appeals to a broad range of vacation guests. The larger of the master bedrooms features a fireplace, king-sized bed, deck access, TV, and in the marble-clad bathroom, a very deep soaking tub with a view. A second master bedroom is at the opposite end of the home, also furnished with a king-size bed, en-suite bath with shower, and deck access. The third bedroom offers yet another en-suite bath with a shower, queen size bed and deck access. This bedroom also contains a stairway that leads up to a private loft with two twin beds. This is the perfect layout for multiple couples as well as extended adult families or those desiring a suite designated for children and their parents.

The gathering spaces are open, cozy, and comfortable. The kitchen is generously equipped and the great room offers sectional seating where the group may comfortably converse, or watch television. A large deck runs the full length of the home, facing the water, where you may BBQ and dine al fresco.

The coveted waterfront location, privacy, and creature comforts offered by Deer Point Paradise are truly exceptional, and will be appreciated by the most discriminating guests. The home is located between Olga and Doe Bay, about 40 minutes drive from the ferry landing, and a 25 minute drive from Eastsound.

Paradise

Vacation Date: June 2020

We have fallen in love with Orcas Island and had a great experience at the rental home. Paul was very helpful and friendly when he came out to cover the loft windows and again to rectify a plumbing issues. I had a few questions prior to our arrival and the woman I spoke to on the phone was a total sweetheart. She took the time to share information that was very helpful in planning our week. One thing that is important for future renters- the loft space is not usable despite being advertised as an additional bedroom/sleeping space. There are huge windows with no window coverings. I am confused about why the owners wouldn't spend a minimal amount of money to add the coverings. But for now, be aware there are two king beds and one queen. Other than this, the property is terrific, well-appointed and sparkling clean. The private beach provided hours of entertainment for our children and was a beautiful spot for all of us to gather. The deck is the perfect spot for dinner and yoga in the mornings. There are deer everywhere; even one standing in front of the home to greet us when we arrived.

Manager's Response

Dear Kellie,

I want to personally thank you for such a glowing review. It is always nice to hear positive feedback as to how we are performing for the best possible guest experience. Deer Point Paradise is one of our most popular and best equipped homes, but it is all about the location and the design of this custom home, putting every room on the waterside of the house with most having direct access to the long deck running the length of the home.

You mentioned the sleeping loft and evidently having too much light come through the windows, making it hard to sleep in the twin beds in that area. Interestingly, we have not had this be a problem before, but will now most certainly mention this to the owners for a possible remedy. Part of the issue may have been our very early morning sun at your time of visit on the longest day of the year. But, please realize that we need feedback like this so that we can continue to improve.

Thank you for staying with Northwest Island Escapes and particularly at Deer Point Paradise.

Beautiful Home and Location

Vacation Date: July 2019

Wonderful home, even better than the website pictures. Perfect for our family vacation with bathrooms for each bedroom. Access to the beach was quick and easy and the view from the deck was spectacular. A few items that were disappointing for such a high end (and expensive) property. The ice maker did not work and we were only given two measly ice trays. Also, although we were advised to bring all cooking basics, we thought the vacation rental would alteast have salf and pepper. Not so. Also, no napkins even though stated that they would be provided. Nitpiks. Overall a wonderful home and fantastic water views!

Manager's Response

Dear Michael, Thank you for staying with Northwest Island Escapes and providing such nice review. We try very hard to provide a wonderful vacation home on Orcas Island. Sorry about missing the napkins that we normally provide. As to the ice maker, it does work but this owner believes they can cause leaks and water damage so has taken it off line. We are upping the number of ice trays to compensate for not providing and ice maker. All of the appliances in this home were replaced during 2018 and work well. Please come back to visit with us again. General Manager

A kitchen for cooks.

Vacation Date: August 2018

Gorgeous house with fabulous view. Kitchen has quality cookware and appliances. No staples though -- you will need everything from flour and sugar to olive oil.
I was surprised that the sink leaked the garbage disposal was broken, basic maintenance stuff that if someone actually lived there would be upkept.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for leaving a review, which is mostly very positive regarding Deer Point Paradise. I'd like to comment on a couple of items mentioned. Within the vacation rental industry there is a guest concern about possible contamination of food products if left by a guest or owner, for future guests. it's a shame but we commonly have to remove what we believe to be good food products, staples, just because of this concern. We wish we could leave food items for future guest use, but it just isn't allowed any more. You are correct that this house was experiencing issues with the garbage disposal and a faucet that started leaking. Please be assured that these items have both been addressed with a new disposal and faucet. In addition, these very responsible owners have a new washer and dryer on order as well as a new refrigerator. They do everything to keep this wonderful home in tip-top condition for all of our guests.

Deer Point Paradise

Vacation Date: August 2018

Overall, very positive. Beautiful home and beautiful views, but in a remote location 20 minutes from town. Claim that home sleeps eight could be misleading because two of the beds are in a loft directly over a bedroom and all share a bath - only appropriate for children sharing with parents. We would have appreciated more towels and salt and pepper shakers. Otherwise the home is very well equipped. We love the New Leaf Cafe and Roses.

Manager's Response

Dear Carol, Thank you for the generally very positive review. We try to stock each of our represented homes with plenty of towels, but evidently came up a bit short in this case. We continue to fine tune our stocking levels and have increased the number of towels we provide each guest group. Come back and see us again soon! General Manager

Gorgeous view on Orcas Island

Vacation Date: July 2018

The home we rented was very comfortable for our family. Having a master bath off each bedroom was great. We were very disappointed that when we arrived at the home with all our food the refrigerator was broken. We don't understand why the cleaning company didn't check on that while they were there. There must have been a problem for a long time since the entire back of the refrigerator was one solid piece of ice. The other problem was the home was hot. Without air conditioning they should have had screens on the doors. We couldn't leave the doors open because of mosquitos.

Natural tranquility

Vacation Date: July 2018

We had a wonderful time enjoying this vacation rental. The home is very private with a rocky beach which is just full of natural wonders. Eagles fly over head daily. Tidal pools await every morning full of tiny sea creatures.
The house was ideal for a family. The loft was perfect for our grandkids.
A few things were not working when we arrived:
The dryer never got hot
The garbage disposal did not turn on
The refrigerator was not cold
The manager sent a repair man and he was able to temporarily fix the refrigerator, but the other appliances never worked
The pillows and bedding needs to be replaced, they are very old and grubby.
Also not sure how well it was cleaned, I found thick dust on some of the shelves and furniture.
If they could upgrade some of the aging appliances and linens we would love to go back there next year!

Manager's Response

Dear Irene, We take reviews with shortcomings like this very seriously. In fact, after seeing your review, the owners immediately undertook the process of replacing the refrigerator, the washer and dryer, the garbage disposal and the leaking faucet. The owner also has upgraded all linens to virtually new levels. Our housekeeping staff also performed a deep clean so that no future guests would have a similar experience, although we believe the home was generally very clean at the time of your visit. Give us another chance to show you how improved Deer Point Paradise is today. It is one of our favorite rentals. General Manager

Nice house–disappointing experience

Vacation Date: June 2017

This is a gorgeous house with a lovely view. It was left mostly clean, except for urine tricklings on the toilet and a porch that was absolutely littered with painting supplies and overturned tables/chairs. It was unuseable.

Most disappointingly, the fireplace--a key feature for booking the home--was padlocked. We couldn't use it at all.

This would have been acceptable if we'd received an email notifying us or received an offer of decreased rent. Instead the owners opted to keep the rent the same and offer the excuse that "the next renters will know about the fireplace".

I'll never trust these owners or rent here again.

A perfect retreat paradise!

Vacation Date: September 2016

Our expectations were pleasantly exceeded with the large beautifully decorated spacious rooms. The view was spectacular. Our grandchildren enjoyed the beach, the water, the seals, just the whole atmosphere. The kitchen was well stocked. The washer /dryer was a convenience with young kids. We utilized the outdoor barbecue and eating area as the weather permitted.

We all enjoyed this wonderful place. It was a nice break for all of us, and a perfect place for our family get-together with young kids and toddlers.

Solitude with a View

Vacation Date: July 2016

Nicely laid out and updated house, nestled serenely in the woods out on the tip of the island. Beautiful view of a large canal and to the waters beyond which makes it, albeit the house is a little bit of a splurge. House is stocked with pretty much everything you could need. I would recommend owner purchase a few chaises for the outside porch however as there are none and that could have added to the lounging experience. A little bit of a hike from the ferry (35+ minutes) and about 15-20 minutes from Eastsound. If solitude and views are your thing, this is a great place to start.

Manager's Response

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for visiting the Islands and for choosing our company to assist you with your stay. We also appreciate your feedback and the idea of the chaises. I am following up with our staff to see if this has been acted upon. I agree they would be wonderful to have there. We sincerely appreciate your excellent review and hope you will return to us and the Islands soon! Best Regards, General Manager

Deer Point Stay

Vacation Date: July 2016

We stayed 4 nights and had a great time. Very peaceful surroundings although the home was a little farther from our wedding, at Doe Bay, than I anticipated and a bit difficult to find in the dark. I should have looked at the map closer. The house was super clean and quiet with views from all rooms. Management needed me to let the cable man in at 7:45 AM Saturday morning which was not what I had planned. The TV still did not receive the channels he was trying to gain reception on after he left so I felt it was all for nothing. The beds and bathroom were great. Very comfortable furnishings. Would definitely rent again.

Manager's Response

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing to visit the Islands and for sharing your experiences here. TV and internet access are one of the biggest challenges to provide in the Islands and we apologize that we had to have the cable man visit during your stay. We do hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay and will contact us again in the future so we might assist you in providing a better vacation experience. Best Regards, General Manager

Great family vacation.

Vacation Date: May 2015

Great private location. Thankfully the home was as presented online: very clean, well appointed, with everything we needed for our week on Orcas. Close to state park hiking & convenient to East Sound shopping and day whale watching/kayaking/canoeing excursions. Outer Island Excursions will deliver canoes/kayaks to park lakes! Deer are plentiful at Deer Point, harbor seals in the sound, eagles flying overhead. It was great having the family in one location to spend time together rather than hotel room vacationing. Layout of individual rooms & baths still provided plenty of privacy too. Every room has great views of the water.

The name describes it: Deer Point Paradise! Secluded, quiet, pure nature - a fantastic spot to relax. The house was very comfortable and inviting - perfect for our group of 6 adults. We would have loved to have some more kitchen gadgets (we are all passionate cooks) but the essentials were there and functioning, so everything worked out. Linen and towels in abundance. Nature was on its best for us: a week of sunshine, deer looking into our windows, sea lions paddling by, and an eagle cruising over our heads. In one word: PARADISE!
