Kangaroo House

$$ | 1459 N. Beach Rd., Orcas Island, 98245, USA

Set back from the road behind a large garden overlooked by a lovely covered porch, this B&B in a local landmark Craftsman features nicely appointed rooms with en suite bathrooms. It has an interesting history: it's named for a Depression-era resident kangaroo that provided entertainment for islanders (ask the friendly, knowledgeable hosts for the story), though these days the busy bird feeders and deer wandering through the brush are the main animal attractions.

Pros

  • Garden hot tub with a sign-up sheet for privacy
  • Five-minute walk to beach and Eastsound
  • Fabulous multicourse organic breakfast

Cons

  • Three-night minimum for summer visits that include Saturday
  • No children under 12
  • Seven-step stoop and only one main floor room
