Mariner’s Dream: Nestled into the shoreline at the Orcas Ferry Landing, this turnkey vacation rental offers both a private escape and an income-producing investment opportunity. Far from the everyday, yet steps from the conveniences of Orcas Village—shops, the ferry, market and restaurants. A south-facing wall of windows and French doors frames views of passing wildlife and boat traffic, with the sound of waves close at hand. Enjoy the sunny deck with seating, a barbecue, and a hammock. A propane fireplace enhances a winter stay. The primary suite features a luxurious double shower and towel warmers. At 1,060 square feet with one bedroom and bath, it's everything you need for a romantic getaway. Vacation rental permit allows for six guests--queen sleeper in the living room and possible to finish basement for more guest space.
