Super cute, perfectly appointed, easy access to Eastsound, out of this world views, slightly more propellor noise from the airport than I initially expected but overall, a really great spot!

The Pearl is a great location on Orcas Island for one person or a couple. Walkable to Eastsound with restaurants and shops. Great view of sound. It is just as described by owner. As some reviews note it gets a little warm, but it is easy to get a cross breeze by opening windows and porch door, and ceiling fan and a second fan work great. Also, the island does not get hot so not really an issue. Kitchen is stocked enough for basic cooking and right for size of place. Bed is a little high (to allow for decent dresser storage underneath) and might be hard to get into if someone is mobility restricted, but it is very comfortable. Washer/dryer worked great. Two decks to enjoy views from. Really a perfect location for doing anything on island (hiking, kayaking, shopping, chilling, ferrying to San Juan). Host is very responsive. Would definitely rent again.

Very cozy and cute spot, clean and minimalist. It was everything we needed!Close to the downtown of Eastsound which has shops and restaurants. We thought it would be comfortably walkable to Eastsound based on other reviews, it is a short walk but you do have to walk on the shoulder of the main road to get there.
