Perfect little place, amazing view.
We loved our stay! The tiny little deck had the most amazing view. Perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine after sightseeing. Great location too, right in the middle of fun little shops and great food within blocks.

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.

Great views, great location, and clean new furnishings
The write-up on the accommodations is very accurate and pretty much says it all. My wife and I stayed in one of the water view upstairs units over 4th of July week. We didn’t have to go far to see the fireworks – sat outside and had a “front seat” view over the water. The condo unit is brand new and the furniture and appliances are all very nice and clean. The biggest pro is just the location. We were within walking distance of everything we needed in Eastsound.

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.

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!!

Great Location and Great Studio!
It was fun being in the middle of all of the action on Fourth of July and being able to watch the fireworks from the balcony! The balcony is tiny and there is no privacy between it and the balcony next to it, but there was only one point where we and our "neighbors" were using the balconies at the same time (other than for the fireworks show!). The studio was well stocked and nicely maintained. Not the quietest place we've stayed as garbage or other trucks were busy doing things at about 7 am one day and 4th of July partiers on their boat were yelling and singing into the wee hours of the morning. But other than that, it was a great area to stay in. Very cute town. Loved the nearby restaurants and shops.

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.

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!

Awesome space & location!
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:)
