About this property

Newly refinished two-bedroom house with an elegant rustic look on the waterfront

Wild Rose on the Bay is a recently-remodeled house in a natural setting on the waterfront shores of Sequim Bay. There is a peaceful feeling of tranquility and privacy as you gaze out over the back yard to the beautiful waters of Sequim Bay and the forested hills beyond. The two-bedroom house is elegantly appointed, but at the same time retains the rustic feel of a secluded cabin in a country setting. The newly installed skip-sawn Douglas fir floor is dramatic, and it complements the exposed wooden beams and ceiling in the living room and master bedroom. The master bedroom, which flows out to the back deck through french doors, has a king-sized bed with side tables plus a sitting area for reading or watching TV. It also has a large, walk-in closet. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed with a closet, side tables, and small sitting area. Some of the original closets and kitchen cabinets have been kept to preserve the history of the house and have been updated with a fresh, new look. This home sleeps four. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for your use.

The property flows down from forests and meadows past two rustic, old out-buildings to the main house. The outbuilding closest to the house has a 220 volt, 50 amp electric vehicle receptacle for charging EV batteries A small Alaskan cedar deck greets you as you approach the front entrance of the house. On the back side of the house, the generous Alaskan cedar deck looks over a large lawn before coming to a small deck at the top of a 20' bank. There you will find a small, middle deck with a stairway leading down to the lower deck right off the beach. That middle deck at the top of the bank has a fire pit with plenty of firewood nearby. It’s a great place to watch sunsets with a fire going while taking in the incredible views in a private, peaceful setting.

The lower deck has short ramp to the beach on one end, and on the other end there is a small dock house. (The key is in the welcome basket in the main house.). Once inside, there’s a cozy, intimate feeling while sitting on the futon couch. Since you’re only about six feet above the beach, it will seem like you’re connected to the water of Sequim Bay as you gaze out the generous windows and often hear the waves lapping the shore below, especially at high tide when the water is under the dock house.

For those who are comfortable with the safe use of kayaks, there are two 10’ kayaks available for you to paddle along the shores of Sequim Bay. Kayak paddles and life vests are stored inside the dock house.

When the weather is warm, one may even venture to swim in the cool waters of Sequim Bay with water shoes to protect your feet from the rocky beach.

This is a perfect country, waterfront getaway for a relaxing and refreshing vacation.

Stunning views and quiet surroundings!

We stayed in this home for our 27th Anniversary weekend. It was one of my favorite VRBO's! The location is perfect! The views are unbelievable. Everything was perfect. I cannot recommend this home more! We will definitely be back!
The view from the Master that leads onto the deck
The view from the edge of the yard leading to the water.
The sweetest, coziest little dock house!
The way the sun shines through the home at the end of every day was one of my favorite parts! We spent so much time on the deck!

In love with this place

It is a beautiful bigger than expected two bedroom home on the beach front with wonderful views. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the dock where we saw a sea otter at high tide. Overall this is a magical place we feel thankful that we had the opportunity to stay there.

Wild Rose

We loved kayaking and hiking through the Elwha River Valley. The well equipped home was spacious and cozy at the same time. Hwy 101 sound was noticeable outside, but not inside. Beautiful views. We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the hard work that went into the renovation.

Thanksgiving on the bay!

This home is tucked away on Sequim Bay. If you drive in at night, you’ll have a delightful surprise when you wake in the morning and look out the many windows onto the bay. It’s beautiful! The home is well stocked, comfortable and has everything you need, including good internet. The beds are comfortable and it’s a cozy spot to spend with family. This is our second time staying here and we’ve loved both times! Owners are delightful and quick to respond! Elegant rustic is the perfect description and the pictures are just as the place looks.

Perfect

Great location with easy access to the Discovery Trail for biking. Beautiful setting and cottage. The king bed was comfortable as well as the furniture inside and outside. We cooked all of our meals during our week long stay and the kitchen had everything we needed. I loved the large doorwalls that opened the cottage to the outdoors and the beautiful view of Sequim Bay and the mountains. I also loved the little house down by the water. We will definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

Olympic National Park Stay

Beautiful home with great access to the ocean. I’ve never stayed in a Vrbo that I’ve wanted to come back to, but I’ll definitely be coming back here. Only downside is the high iron content in the water. When you brush your teeth and take a shower you can definitely taste it. And we didn’t do any laundry while we were there because the iron out for the washer says it ruins darks but helps with whites. However all our babies clothes had patterns so we didn’t risk it.

Amazing home on the water!!

We had the most lovely stay here!! The home is beautiful with large windows to capture the amazing view of the water… I could have looked out those windows all day! There is a lovely dock with a cute little over water shed for getting cozy with a cup of tea and watching the rain. The house was stocked with everything you’d need and its wonderful proximity to both Sequim town center and Port Townsend. We will DEFINITELY book this home again!!

Breathtaking location. What a slice of heaven

Excellent accommodation. The only downside is the hard water. It seems like Doug is actively trying to resolve this issue and I don't want to fault him whatsoever. My wife and I have a puronics water filter in our house with a water softener and I think for Doug's water you might need 3 of these. Just be advised there is a very high iron content in the water. Other than that the location is premier and the interior is premier. Coming from an absolute snob this is a location I will be returning to regardless of whether the water issue is fixed or not! Thank you Doug!

About the host

Hosted by Doug Ahmann

Host profile image
We have lived in Port Angeles for 46 years and feel privileged to call the Olympic Peninsula our home. We love to share this amazing place with our guests. Doug is a retired accountant and now a handyman, and Jo Dee is a retired violin teacher and now a life coach. We both are also now enjoying our role as grandparents. We love the outdoors - hiking, fishing, kayaking, and exploring.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful piece of property became available in the summer of 2018 through a remarkable set of circumstances. The old house on the property was in desperate need of attention, and with hard work and good help over the next ten months, we like to say that the house has been redeemed from it's former sad state to give it new life with a great renovation with a fresh, new look.

What makes this property unique

If you like the feeling of serenity in a private, peaceful, secluded setting, this place offers it all. The newly-remodeled house with it's beautiful views over Sequim Bay, plus the immediate access to the beach and waterfront make this place desirable for a romantic, private, get-away. Even though you feel secluded there, you are only about a ten-minute drive away from the city of Sequim, where good shopping and restaurants are available.
