This home looks toward an expanse of Orcas Island’s northshore waterfront, and snow-capped Mt. Baker. A part of island history, there is a nameplate on the back porch reading “Captain Cook’s Resort,” as the resort was known before becoming Bartwood Resort. Guests are invited to use the community pebble beach and tennis courts (providing you bring your own beachtowel, racquets and balls!)

If that bracing north wind kicks up, the family will gather before the impressive river rock fireplace that anchors a corner of the living room. This home offers newer appliances, fun nautical decor and many quality amenties for the family to enjoy. The master bedroom is also on the lower level, and it offers a private bathroom with shower, deck, and walk-in closet. Upstairs find two more bedrooms and a bathroom with tub/shower.

Location is the key to island activity, and you’ll find plenty of dining, shopping, and local culture within a two mile drive. Or just stay home and relax, do some beachcombing, and be enchanted by the sun as its sets far to the north in early summer.

Captain Cook’s is a 25 minute drive from the Orcas ferry landing and only 2 miles from Eastsound shops, dining, and entertainment options.
