“Wondeful Experience”

Spring Bay Inn on Orcas Island

The Spring Bay Inn provided my wife and I a wonderful escape. It is of the finest establishments there is to find, especially in the San Juans. Carl and Sandy are exceptional people and are only too happy to make your stay at SBI one never to forget. Of the 5 rooms, we stayed in the forest room. It is one of the end rooms and offers a private balcony which overlooks the forested hillside and the beach. All the rooms offer significant privacy, amazing views and gracious comfort. The great room downstairs, with its view down to the waters edge is a destination unto itself. If you don't leave SBI for your entire stay on Orcas Island, you wont be dissapointed. The state park adjacent to the property provides ample opportunity for exploration and the kayaking each morning make the novice feel like a pro. Thanks Sandy and Carl!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this Bed and Breakfast. The owners were so friendly and full of information - and their guided kayaking trips in the morning are so much fun. The property itself is just gorgeous - we stayed in the "Ocean" room and were very comfortable. We would recommend a stay here to anyone!

Our first bed and breakfast.....we loved it. We are reluctant to try another because the Spring Bay Inn would be so hard to beat. The hosts of the inn are very knowledgeable and hospitable. The food was delicous, the scenery breathtaking, and the welcome warm. We are looking forward to visiting again.

“A slice of heaven!!”

What a perfect spot to relax. If a waterfront view through tall Douglas fir trees sounds heavenly, then this is the place for you. We tied a visit to Orcas Island to the end of our Alaskan cruise, and it turned out to be the perfect ending. Owners, Sandy & Carl do all they can to bring the best experiences to you. They are both retired park rangers, and after a healthy breakfast of fresh baked muffins, fruit and coffee, it is off the tour the waterways in a kayak. Even beginners can participate and find it a wonderful way to explore the natural beauty of the island. After an invigorating couple of hours on the water, it's back to the inn for a scrumptious brunch. Next, it the hardest part of your day; and that is to decide just where on the island you want to explore. Artisans abound in funky little shops and we can hardly wait to come back with friends to share this heavenly spot. Thanks to Sandy & Carl and their two laid-back retrievers who are always there to welcome you back to the inn.

“One of the most perfect places on Earth!”

The Spring Bay Inn is just one of those places that no matter how much time you spend there, you just don't wanna leave when it's time to go. Everything about the place -- from the incredible hospitality and down to earth nature of hosts Carl and Sandy to the great kayak trips to the super-friendly golden retrievers Rusty and Jennings -- makes it feel like the most welcoming place you could imagine. I could probably write good things about this place till my fingers hurt (great breakfasts/lunch, beautiful and secluded setting, knowledgeable advice on the island, wonderfully appointed house and rooms, etc), but I'll just say that it instantly became one of our favorite places on the globe the second we arrived. We stayed at another B&B on the island for the second half of our trip, and it too was great, but there simply is no comparison. Sandy and Carl have carved out a wonderful place for themselves on Orcas Island and lucky for us, they share it with strangers! Thanks, Carl and Sandy for having us...we'll be back soon!

    • Tips/Secrets: — You have to open the gate on your way into the property -- no one mentioned this and it was a little strange coming in at night and having to open the gate
