ORCAS ISLAND VACATION RENTAL HOME - ASIAN MINIMALISM NEAR DOE BAY

When your tastes run to the contemporary, you’ll find this sophisticated Doe Bay cabin a jewel of design integrity (To learn about the architect's concept, go to www.archdaily/157449 - Nami an is the featured property!)

In contrast to the whimsical Pottery Barn style of many Orcas Island vacation homes, Nami An offers a distinctive minimal esthetic. Asian influences create a light-filled volume of space; every detail is precise and harmonious. You’ll remove your shoes and don slippers (thoughtfully provided,) to tread lightly on the bamboo floors. Shoji screens slide across the bedroom doorway; you’ll bathe in a deep Japanese soaking tub and shower next to a glass wall viewing a small fenced garden.There’s also an outdoor shower in this courtyard.

The main level encompasses the bathing room and powder room, a well-equipped kitchen with paperstone counters, the dining area, and a bedroom with a floating queen-size futon bed. Upstairs, there’s an open loft with an additional bed and a folded futon for extra guests. (Do note that although there are shoji screens to slide as a visual block, the loft does not provide total privacy. This home is not suitable for small children or those who may have difficulty climbing the steep open stairway. Nami An is a meticulous home in a romantic setting that will be best appreciated by two or three adult guests.)

Orcas Island's Nami An shares a beautiful outlook to the water with two other homes. There is no neighbor on the left side of the property where a wooded area attracts deer, hawks, and rabbits. To the right, two neighboring homes are in the foreground of vision, but may be screened from view with the use of window shades and shoji screens. Forward of the home, there is a cleared path leading to a rocky outcrop and the beach where you can observe the diversity of tidal life and marine mammals at low tide.

You’ll find Nami An on the southeastern tip of Orcas Island, within a short walk of Doe Bay Resort, convenience store, post office, kayak rental, and restaurant. This home is about a 15 minute drive from Olga and Moran State Park, about 30 minutes from Eastsound Village shops and dining, and about a 45 minute drive from the Orcas Ferry Landing.

    a guest from Tuscon, AZ recommends this vacation rental

    Oh for a comfortable chair - straight backed couch and on-floor "car seats" not conducive to putting feet up for a good read. Proximity of house to the right really is disturbing.

    a guest from Mercer Island, WA recommends this vacation rental

    The weather was less than perfect during our stay, but we enjoyed it nonetheless, thanks to the beautiful views which could be enjoyed from any room in the house. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook in and Doe Bay Resort Cafe is just a meander down the road if you don't. An 11:00 am checkout time would have made our departure less rushed (doing and putting away the dishes, gathering garbage, packing etc. took some time), but we made it out at 10:01 on the dot. We plan to return next summer, if we can.

    • Manager Responded on 7/27/2011

      Great - we hope to see you then!

    a guest from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

    The house is as beautiful as the pictures with floor to ceiling windows showcasing the view. The property also has a relaxing area to have a campfire outside. We enjoyed watching the deer and rabbits from the deck. The only thing missing was a dishwasher,
    but everything else we needed was there. The property is on the water with a small rocky beach, but you would need to be very careful climbing down steep rocks. This is a great place to stay if you want to spend lots of time at Moran State Park which is a
    short drive away. We enjoyed renting kayaks there, enjoying the view from Mt. Constitution, and hiking. The nearest grocery store was in Eastsound about a 30 minute drive away. So, be sure to stock up on groceries. Then, get ready for a relaxing and peaceful
    retreat.
