West Beach Resort

We stayed in Beachfront Cabin #1. Two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, wood burning stove. We loved everything about this resort. We had a fire pit plus two chairs and a small table and a picnic table in front of cabin that we used every evening. The heated rooms kept us cozy as did the wood burning stove. We made breakfast in our room each morning and the kitchen was fully stocked with all necessities. Everyone was very kind and the stargazing was top notch! Thanks for a memorable stay.

As a single female traveler, I felt very safe at West Beach Resort. Staff were very friendly and everything was clean and welcoming. The beach and dock area are beautiful and you get a lovely sunset view when it's been nice out. Each morning I took my binoculars down to the beach, bought a coffee at the resort cafe, and watched heron, sea otters and birds while listening to nature sounds. I camped in my tent and the tent sites were on grass and nice. I would definitely return to this place when coming to visit Orcas Island again.

Such a quaint resort. Loved our little cabin on the beach. We had a bonfire one night on the beach in front of our cabin. A memory that will be one of our best memories ever. Staff is helpful and friendly. Cabin was very clean and comfy.

The service and friendly atmosphere is what brings me back every year. We've stayed in the tent cabins and this year we are staying in a cabin. My grandson finds friends to play with every year. We just love the icecream. We explore all over from swimming, fishing and kayaking at the lake to hiking and biking all over. Oh, and the most amazing skate park in Eastsound. Orcas island and West Beach Resort is one of our favorite places.

Stunning, well kept property. Office staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. So much so that we left early and lost money. I tried to upgrade to a cabin to make our stay more pleasant but when I asked if any were open, the office manager told me she wasn’t sure if any were available. And that was it. Didn’t want to check. Didn’t care or ask why we were checking out early. Nothing. This was just one example of the “customer service” received. Would return if under new management. So much potential here.

The location of this small resort is wonderful. It used to be our favorite place on Orcas. However, it has become over priced for the small and modest accommodations offered. Cabins are tidy but not fully equipped for much cooking or comfort. The cost per night for a one bedroom cabin was more than staying at Rosario or other higher quality hotels with comfortable beds. Cigarette butts around the cabin are indicative of high occupancy and quick turnover without attention given the to areas surrounding the cabin. While the people working there were nice, they seemed rather dismissive of the needs of their guests. Their terms for rental are not made clear, so ask questions before booking and be sure to know all added costs. Definitely make sure you get your confirmations if you book. Cute place, but can’t see the value.
