About this property

"THE LOFT" romance, luxury, stunning water and mountain views!

Wake to beautiful views of Sequim Bay, the Straight of Juan de Fuca and the San Juan Islands, before you even leave your comfortable sleep number bed! Enjoy sitting out on the balcony overlooking it all, including beautiful views of Mt. Baker! Be sure to view the video for a visual tour of The Loft.

An excerpt from a guest's comments:

['Dangerously comfortable' is about the best we can do to describe this getaway...it was tough to push ourselves out the door every morning to go hiking. We've stayed in many VRBO listed accommodations and this is by far the most comfortable and well thought out place we've stayed in. The best sunrises we've ever seen! Thank you for sharing your great views with us.]

Please take a moment or two to read some of the other wonderful reviews from previous guests as well.

The Loft was designed and created by us for those of you looking for the ultimate getaway. Here you can relax in privacy, and feel pampered while enjoying up-scale amenities, unobstructed views, and peaceful, natural surroundings.

Situated at the head of Sequim Bay at approx. 450 ft. elevation, The Loft offers a panoramic view of Sequim Bay, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the San Juan Islands and Mt. Baker. The view of the Strait provides an ever-changing view of many ocean bound ships. (We provide binoculars for you to enjoy the activity a bit closer up.)

The Loft is approximately 500 square feet in size and is the second story of a completely separate building on the property. Our home is also on the property, however, the purposeful orientation of the two separate buildings allows for total privacy for our guests.

There is a gated entrance leading to the backside of the building housing The Loft. There you will find towering evergreens and a wonderful, perfectly private patio with a hot tub, gas BBQ, and an outdoor dining table. It is not uncommon to have eagles flying overhead and deer in the lower grassy area.

We originally envisioned building this space for our family and friends to use while visiting. So we wanted it to be very special even from the beginning. As the project progressed, we decided to offer it as a vacation rental as well.

We decorated The Loft using vibrant and inviting colors. We used natural slate, granite, a heated tile floor in the bath, upscale fixtures and solid cherry woodwork/trim throughout to accomplish our vision. One of our favorite features in The Loft is the gas fireplace. Surrounded with natural slate tiles it has a hand crafted mantle of solid cherry and truly is 'one of a kind'.

We planned the furniture and fireplace arrangement so that the fireplace, wall mounted HDTV, and straight on view of Sequim Bay can all be enjoyed from the comfort of the bed! We also installed 'stealth' stereo speakers in the walls...they are invisible! The balcony of The Loft overlooks the bay and is a wonderful place to just 'be'.

We are in a gated community comprised of five-acre properties. Ours is located on the top of the hill, at the end of a cul-de-sac. It is the last of only three homes situated on the street.

We feel we accomplished our goal of creating a very special place, and are pleased to offer it for your stay in Sequim. Our central location on the north end of the Olympic Peninsula makes this a great place to stay while enjoying the numerous activities available in the area.

We invite you to come stay in The Loft and experience for yourself a truly unique retreat. The Loft is the place to stay when you wish to spend time creating lasting memories.


LOFT FEATURES:

~Sleep Number queen bed. Adjust the mattress to your specific needs.
~Radiant floor heating in the tiled bath
~Granite and tiled countertops
~Plush carpeting in the bedroom and sitting area
~Beautiful oak, distressed hardwood floors in the dining and entry area
~Custom cherry trim-work and cherry cabinetry
~Skylights
~Smooth Trex decking and clear panels on the balcony so you can enjoy the view
~Beautiful tiffany and mission lighting fixtures throughout, most with dimmer switches
~Solar assisted energy

Great care is taken to ensure that your stay at The Loft is comfortable, relaxed and leaves you feeling that you can't wait to return!

The Loft is about a ten minute drive from Sequim and about a 25 minute drive to Port Angles.

“Port Angeles/Sequim is a gateway to Olympic National Park. Because of the dramatic relief —the peaks rise to over 5,000 feet within a few miles of the coast — the area hosts diverse ecosystems, including alpine environments studded with lakes, ultragreen old-growth forests threaded with whitewater rivers, and bays that harbor orcas and steelhead.

HIGHLIGHTS to enjoy while your're in Sequim include:

-OLYMPIC DISCOVERY TRAIL: miles and miles of paved trail to walk and bike along from Port Angeles to Port Townsend

-AWARD WINNING WINERIES: seven local wineries offering tours and tastings

-LAVENDAR FESTIVAL (third weekend in July): Sequim is the 'Lavender Capital of North America' with a dozen lavender farms offering tours and their special lavender products. Many farms are open throughout the year. During the festival most farms offer a tasty selection of food and beverages along with some great entertainment on site. In town you'll find a large street fair.

-IRRIGATION FESTIVAL (May): This local festival features a well populated street market, carnival, parade and logging events.

-SATURDAY OPEN AIRE MARKET: Featuring local products and artists every weekend May through October

-SEVEN CEDARS CASINO: Live entertainment, dancing, restaurants and gaming. Just a short five minute drive.

My wife’s request for her birthday trip was epic views, and this place definitely delivered! We had some adventure days and some recharge days. The hot tub was amazing for tired feet! We had everything we needed. I was worried the mini fridge would be too small for our groceries, but we had plenty of space for 4 days of food for 2 people, and all of our reusable ice packs fit in the freezer. The microwave is also a convection oven/air fryer, and the electric skillet was so convenient. We felt safe there as well. The robes were such a nice touch! The heated floor in the bathroom and fireplace made us feel so cozy. We will recommend the Loft to anyone looking to spend time in that area.

Amazing honeymoon retreat

This property was so gorgeous and did not disappoint! We were sent an email with very detailed check-in instructions, and we were able to check-in without any troubles. The loft was clean, cozy, beautiful, and we loved the hot tub! We did not need a huge house for just the two of us, so this size was perfect for us. It did not have a stove but they had a wonderful hotplate so we did our cooking on there and it was delicious! They had two robes and plenty of towels for the hot tub, we felt like it was a luxury retreat away from home. Zero complaints here. Thank you for a memorable and beautiful stay!!

The Loft in Sequim

The loft is very comfortable and pleasant. This is our 2nd stay here and we would go back again. The only drawback is the location which is a ways out of Sequim so a trip for morning coffee is 15 minutes or so.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our time at The Loft. It was a weekend getaway to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary and we wanted a place that would be quiet, relaxing, and cozy. The Loft exceeded our expectations! The host made it all very easy and even gave us a great recommendation for a nice anniversary dinner. We're already talking about next year!

We had an amazing stay at The Loft! It was very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. It is well equipped with kitchen essentials if you want to cook. The views were awesome and we even got to see deer roaming in the yard. The hottub was wonderful. It is very private and you feel like you're in your own little world. We enjoyed a very relaxing and romantic stay and look forward to coming back. We highly recommend The Loft for your next getaway!

The Loft is high up on a hill with a beautiful view and a wonderful woodsy setting. We would certainly return. The only limitation is that the unit does not have a stove and oven. Otherwise, it has many amenities for a very comfortable and cozy stay, including a great hot tub.

Great view & accommodations! Didn't want to leave....

We had a great stay at the loft during our visit to the Pacific Northwest to hike the National Parks. We spent three nights at the loft. The views from the loft are outstanding. We were able to see Mt. Baker on a clear day, and watched boats going in and out. The loft was very clean, well stocked, and everything you could want was provided. The hot tub was a delight after a day of hiking. Good restaurants in Sequim, but the loft was so comfy we ordered takeout one night. Definitely recommend this rental if you are looking for something special, romantic & peaceful. Good location for visiting Olympic National Park, Port Townsend and Port Angeles. So pleased we picked the loft.

Awesome as usual 😊

We had a relaxing couple of days at the Loft. We have stayed at the loft a couple times and I’m sure we’ll stay there again. The gas barbecue is a plus to barbecue steaks. After that we relaxed in the hot tub outside with the stars above us. So warm and relaxing at the the end of the day. And it is always clean. The sleep number bed allowed each of us to set our own number, it is so comfortable. Seriously thinking of getting one. We turned on the fire and watched a couple of DVDs. A safe place to just get away during these difficult times. The outdoor balcony is perfect to see the stars and enjoy the beautiful view. And the kitchen has all you need. Thanks again for making our 2 night getaway so enjoyable. Kim & Tom

Perfect getaway near ONP

My wife & I spent 5 nights at the Loft recently & were thoroughly pleased with the experience. In short, the fit & finish of the place is first rate, the location is ideal for exploring all that Olympic Nat'l Park, Port Townsend, the Strait, etc., have to offer, & if there's a better view to fall asleep or wake up to anywhere in the area I'd be amazed. Maybe we were extra fortunate w/ regards to privacy as not only were the owners apparently out of town (although we would've loved to have met them), but the few neighbors living in the Sequim Estates were also never seen or heard during our stay. Unless you're counting the bunny rabbits, crows, & a beautiful Black-Tail doe, we didn't hear or see another creature. The Loft is extremely private. We'd go out for breakfast most mornings (The Oak Table Cafe is NOT to be missed), drive & hike to our hearts' content, then come back to the Loft for a soak in the hot tub & glass of wine to finish a perfect day. Loved every minute of our stay & hope to return soon.

Even better than we expected!

We had the best time staying at the loft. The views from our balcony were spectacular. Every single thing about the loft was perfect. It was beautifully decorated, and you can tell that the owners selected quality finishes. Even without a stove, the kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook meals. Having use of the large refrigerator downstairs was very helpful (we stocked up at Costco and Walmart on the first day). The binder of information the hosts left was also great (restaurant suggestions, things to do in the area, directions on how to use the features of the loft etc.). And we loved that there was a pair of binoculars, so that we could watch the ships in the bay! That was incredibly thoughtful. I saw that a previous renter mentioned that the main house is too close and it wasn't very private. I have to disagree. Only the kitchen window looks out at the main house (at a 90° angle). The hot tub is behind the loft building and very secluded as well. In fact, the entire subdivision is very quiet and peaceful. Of all the vacation homes we've rented, this one is by far our favorite. We are hoping to return in the spring, to see the Olympic Peninsula in a different season.

We really enjoyed waking up to the peaceful stillness of the lake, with a lovely partial sunrise view each morning. The space itself is compact but thoughtfully designed, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We did use the bathtub, though the chlorine level felt a bit too strong, as the fumes were overwhelming at times. That said, the property manager was very responsive and helpful with all of my questions. Overall, I would recommend staying here; it’s in a great location, close to beautiful sights and some hiking trails.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Smith

Host profile image
We are both from the greater Pacific NW. We moved to Sequim from Seattle in 2001, and have enjoyed being part of a growing, welcoming community.

We have a fishing boat that we use for all things “catchable”. More specifically, salmon, halibut, crab, and spot prawns. We also love just being on the water. We have boated in some fashion (both power and sail) for most of our 38 years together.

We enjoy volunteering and giving back to our community. Now that we’re retired, we travel a bit, but mostly prefer to be at home enjoying our beautiful property and the many activities the area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Sequim has long been known as a wonderful retirement spot. We chose to locate here because of the small town size (but growing), the fact that it's only a couple hours from Seattle, has a great marina (the John Wayne Marina) to suit our boating needs, and the fact that Sequim gets very little rain compared to the rest of this side of Washington state.

What makes this property unique

We built this property ourselves, with love and extreme attention to detail. We wanted it to be exceptional in every aspect as a cozy, inviting place to stay. Views! Whether it mountains, forested hills, or ever-changing water views of Sequim Bay and the shipping lanes beyond to the San Juan Islands, the views from the property are incredible.
