A beautiful, spotless location, but less private than the listing looks
We really loved staying here for so many reasons, but the downsides were: Your deck is basically shared with the unit next to you (wooden railing in between) and you can see into each other's units from the decks. There was really loud karaoke from some bar all night which really ruined the peaceful vibe that we had at sundown. The trade off is being walkable distance to shops and restaurants. The unit was spotless and well maintained. That mattress, however, needs a topper or something. It was both firm and kind of saggy at the same time, and I tossed and turned. The fireplace took a second to figure out but was a nice addition. (see if you can get it going as a trial run before the evening and when it's kind of too late to ask for help). I loved having a full kitchen and fridge and many comforts of home like ironing board and plenty of towels. I like more quiet when I'm on island so I don't think I'd stay here again, but if the negatives I've mentioned don't bother you, this is a great spot!!

Orcas
Overall liked my stay. Cleaning people were extremely loud although it was not early but still loud. Someone put a sign on front door and propped it open with blocks. Requested that the door not be slammed. No idea who and kinda felt it was directed at myself and another family member in another room. I never left the room during time it was put up. Leaving door ajar was a potential safety concern and was not aware of until I went out after the fact. Other than that I enjoyed my time there and the view was beautiful. Everything needed was there and only short walk around downtown.

Lovely loft in town
My husband and I stayed at the loft for 4 nights and loved it. We had a car we brought over on the ferry so were able to explore the island. We took some nice hikes, went to a winery and did the orcas only excursion. The loft was in an awesome location overlooking the sound and walking distance from everything around us. We expected direct tv in the loft but not an issue to have steaming only. The staircase to the loft was good exercise for us but may be a bit tough for some especially hauling luggage up. The loft was really clean and had all amenities we would ask for. Thank you for the pleasant stay.

We had an amazing time, strolled the town from the footsteps of the loft and slept soundly in the comfortable bed. Lovely view and also appreciated that it is pet friendly so we could bring our pup.

Great studio with nice bed and awesome view
Great studio apartment with a nice functional kitchen, nice bed with a moderately firm mattress. Nice location right in Eastsound. We walked from the airport which was about .7 miles away and very easy. The view and deck were fantastic and real highlights.

Great location!
Great location to local shops and restaurants. The view of the water was stunning. We loved having a kitchen to make meals in when we wanted to. The bathroom has a sinker tub which was wonderful after a long day exploring. The only draw back is the bed, like previous reviews, we found the mattress was uncomfortable to sleep on.

Fantastic Location
We loved staying at the SeaStar Lofts. The location was amazing, smack in the center of East Sound. At the same time, once inside it was very quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony hanging over the bay. We will return for sure!

Cozy studio with water view. Enjoyed it so much - it’s not lacking in anything. I almost hate to give it such a great review because I don’t want it to book up so fast that I can’t get back in:)

Just me and a view
All I needed was an easy, quiet place to renew and look out at the water for a few days. That's what I got. The mini kitchen was perfect for my needs, as was the view of rain-and-wind-whipped waters from the couch.

Relaxing, great location Orcas Island Find
The property manager Susan was very helpful and kind, housecleaning forgot to leave our keys out but she quickly resolved the problem and I was able to reach her right away. Other pros- The place has everything you could want, and THE best view and downtown location! Also very clean. Walls are thin so we heard our neighbors a lot, the fire place was not the easiest to start, we weren’t able to, and the mattress was not the best. Overall we have a wonderful stay- wonderful service and property, great location and view on a quaint island!
