My husband and I escaped for a weekend to Orcas Island. The Kingfish Inn was a great discovery! Cozy, comfortable rooms and privacy overlooking the water. Extremely clean. The West Sound Cafe downstairs has fabulous food (we had one dinner and two breakfasts there). The location is close enough to Eastsound but far enough away. Very close to Deer Harbor... More

Nice secluded place outside the main town but easy access to points of interest and ferry. Tasty meals in the downstairs restaurant.

This was my first trip out to Orcas Island and it was spectacular! We stayed at the most charming inn and had a terrific experience. The Kingfish Inn overlooks the west sound, with breath taking views. Our rooms were also beautifully decorated and gave us the rest/relaxation we needed. I truly never wanted to leave! Aside from the accommodations being... More

Breakfast was wonderful! Really tasty and filling. Not sure though what happens if you stay at Kingfish on the days the West Sound Cafe is closed? (Mon and Tues) The rooms could also be wonderful with more care to the small details. The linens and decor from the previous owners are great. The maintenance/changes of the new owners seem cheap....

We stayed at the Kingfish Inn for 3 nights in June as part of our Northwest anniversary road trip and just loved it. Our only complaint - beyond the control of our hosts - was that a cable company/power line ran through the absolutely gorgeous view of Westsound and the marina as seen from our room. Our room was great,... More

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Kingfish Inn so much so that we already want to return. While the inn and cafe just changed hands in January and the season is just starting things weren't perfect. However, Richard and Nanae seem dedicated to understanding this property and making it perfect. When we first arrived my Type A... More

Richard and Nanae Fralick bought the Kingfish Inn this winter and have been working on the transition reservations since then. As you can imagine, they have been discovering glitches and correcting them ever since. We could have been upset about minor things, but since talking to the staff and the Fralicks, we completely understand the challenges they faced and have... More

"What a wonderful world" came to my mind when I sat there this morning on the wooden chair on the terrasse of my room and was overwhelmed by the sunrise from the left side, sending the shafts of sunlight acroos the silent water of the bay iluminating the lilac on the right side of the terrasse. Sitting there, listening to... More

This inn has recently changed owners and our stay was one of the first with the new owners: locals who couldn't stand to see the inn be bought by outsiders who might want to change it. Our room was lovely, even by my wife's exacting standards. Exellent king bed - very comfy. Clean and warm, even in February during a... More
