DOLPHIN CAY

A Private Waterfront Sanctuary on Orcas Island.

Some places you visit. Others become part of who you are.

COMING SOON | Exclusive Monthly Residency . . .

For those who have the freedom to live anywhere, Dolphin Cay offers a reason to be nowhere else.

Imagine waking to the sounds of the Salish Sea. Morning light spills across the water. Bald eagles trace the sky. Beyond your windows, the year-round snow-crowned Canadian mountains rise above a horizon that seems to go on forever.

No traffic. No crowds. No light pollution hiding the night. No ordinary days. Just the sea, the sky, the stars, the silence—and the exquisite luxury of being somewhere you never want to leave.

Welcome to Dolphin Cay at Sanctuary Seaside, an extraordinary waterfront residence on Orcas Island, the crown jewel of Washington's San Juan Islands. This is not simply a home to rent. It is a world to inhabit.

An Address Beyond the Ordinary

Set within the remarkable Sanctuary Seaside estate, whose grounds bear the artistic vision of internationally celebrated artist and architect James Hubbell, Dolphin Cay is a rare marriage of architecture, art, nature, and soul. From its native stone and richly grained black-walnut ceilings, walls, and cabinetry to its sculptural fireplace, commissioned stained glass, and one-of-a-kind lighting, every detail seems to have grown organically from the landscape itself, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors until the entire home becomes a living work of art.

Here, beauty is not an accessory. It is the atmosphere. Every room opens to an ocean view. Every window frames a living masterpiece. Every carefully curated furnishing and work of art has a story to tell.

This is a home with a heartbeat.

Spacious living and gathering areas invite conversation, celebration, contemplation, or simply the forgotten pleasure of doing absolutely nothing.

Four beautifully appointed bedrooms (one a secluded octagonal library bedroom), an additional loft, two bathrooms (each one artistically themed), and a newly remodeled kitchen featuring premium Thermador appliances provide the comforts of an exceptional private residence.

High-speed fiber-optic internet makes it possible to conduct business from one of the most beautiful places on earth. Smart TV’s in every room provide modern convenience without intruding on the peace.

Your office has an ocean. Your dining room has a horizon. Your living room has a front-row seat to the wonders of creation.

Your Private Front Row to the Pacific Northwest

Step outside onto an extraordinary split-level deck, nearly as expansive as the home itself.

This is where the magic deepens.

Sip your morning coffee as mist lifts from the water. Watch eagles and ospreys ride the air currents. See seals and otters at play, and perhaps catch the unforgettable sight of an orca pod passing through the Salish Sea.

Behind you, towering cedars stand like ancient guardians. Before you, an ever-changing theater of water, mountains, clouds, and light.

And when evening comes?

Watch the setting sun turn the sea to molten gold. Slip into your private outdoor hot tub beneath the stars. Or enjoy the healing warmth of the nearby onsite sauna.

Follow private, arched, curated woodland trails down toward the shoreline, where a waterside landing invites you into a more intimate encounter with the sea. Here, sunsets aren't something you watch on a screen. They're something you live inside.

Remote Work. Deep Rest. Inspired Living.

Perhaps you're an entrepreneur, executive, artist, author, or creative professional who can work from anywhere. Why not work from somewhere unforgettable?

Perhaps you're between chapters of life, longing for a season of restoration, reflection, or renewal.

Or perhaps you've reached that wonderful moment when you realize the greatest luxury is no longer having more things. It's having more life.

At Dolphin Cay, the pace slows, the senses awaken, and the imagination finds room to breathe.

Write the book. Dream the dream. Gather those you love. Recover the art of conversation. Rediscover the beauty of silence.

Stay long enough to experience what visitors rarely do: the rhythms of island life, the changing moods of the sea, the quiet intimacy of a place that gradually begins to feel like your own.

A World Away. A Mile from Everything.

Though Dolphin Cay feels gloriously removed from the ordinary world, the charming village of Eastsound is just one mile away.

Discover delightful restaurants, intimate cafés, galleries, boutiques, and the island's beloved theater and cultural life. Walk, cycle, or drive into town—and return whenever you wish to your private sanctuary above the sea.

You have the best of both worlds: the richness of a vibrant island community and the rare privilege of extraordinary seclusion.

An Invitation Few Will Experience

Beginning in mid-December, Dolphin Cay will be available for select monthly residencies, with opportunities for extended stays.

Monthly residency is high. But this is not a traditional vacation rental. It is an invitation to experience a remarkable private waterfront home, in an extraordinary artistic setting, on one of the most beautiful islands in North America.

Some luxuries can be purchased. Others can only be experienced. And some places are so extraordinary that a month in them may change how you want to spend the rest of your life.

Dolphin Cay. Come for a month. Take the wonder with you forever.
