As a rule, I don't write "reviews"...perhaps it is a lazy habit poor in form....but West Beach Resort transends all my bad habits. The staff was exeptional, caring, personable and made us feel like we were in the company of friends. The cabin (We stayed in #12) was the perfect fit and we could not have been happier with our 3 day weekend. Crabbing, fishing, visiting the natives in Eastsound...all in all it was exactly what my wife and I needed after a tough 2 years of rediculous mishaps. It is of no wonder why they are booked a year in advance during the summer, but DO NOT dismiss the beauty and magnificent everything of the area in the winter.
This place should be the number one place on Orcas. Period.

My daughter had a blast at this vacation spot. The clamming was the highlight for her. She is a kid that loves seafood. Get a beachfront cabin is my suggestion, gorgeous views.

Lovely location, but misleading photos. Very cramped. Beds took up just about all the space in the bedrooms. There was a little room around the edge of the beds, but then you had to walk over your gear. We had to store groceries and other stuff on the porch. Not so much as a robe hook or anywhere to place your kit in the bathroom. One small towel rack. Nice people in the office/store, and the location really was quite lovely.

We stayed in cabin #16. The cabin itself was charming initially. Several deer walked by almost close enough to touch. That was neat. As our stay progressed, we regretted staying here for our romantic getaway. There was a coffee maker in the room, but no coffee provided. We had to buy it at the camp store for $4.00 a cup. We wanted to watch a movie on our laptop, but there is no place to set it where you can sit comfortably to watch. We thought there would be a place on the beach where we could have a fire, but all the avaliable space was earmarked for water-front cabin renters. The heater clanked all night long...didn't get into a deep sleep either of the two nights we were there. You only have time to wash your hair before the hot water runs out...forget about shaving your legs. It's a shower only, with no room to get out of the stream of water....kept washing the soap off my legs. The second day, when I knew the water would run out quickly, I washed my hair in a hurry and aimed the water at the wall to start shaving. I got four strokes into shaving and the water went cold. They advertise this place as a perfect honeymoon destination, but how you can you feel like being lovey when you get no rest and cannot shave your legs?!? You have to take your garbage down to the store yourself, and do your own dishes, all for $185.00 a night. What a bargain!!! Lot's of kids running around (cutting through the front of the cabin) and you can hear everone's conversations around you. No pool, hot tub, or interesting things to do here.
