About the host
Hosted by James & Betsy Nelson
Bayside Cottages has welcomed guests to Orcas Island for 30+ years.
Jim & Betsy moved to the island in 1975. They designed and built many of the vacation cottages themselves.
We’re lucky to wake up every day in such a beautiful place. It's a joy to see how much our guests love it here, too.

Why they chose this property
Olga is a quiet & peaceful end of the island. Eastsound, the main town, is still easily accessible by car, and we have several excellent seasonal restaurants at this end of Orcas. At the same time, we are tucked away from the hustle & bustle, surrounded by trees and water.
Nowhere else on Orcas Island can you find this direct, ideally framed view of Mount Baker. It's the perfect place to watch the sun rise.

What makes this property unique
We offer several other vacation home rentals just a few minutes walk down the road. This can be convenient for extended family reunions or other larger groups (so long as the quiet hours & no parties rule is respected).
These vacation homes can also be found on VRBO. Feel free to message us for help in locating the VRBO listings.
