About this property

Charming Coastal Hideaway Cozy Crab Shack Retreat

Get your sea air fix at the Crab Shack, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca! This cottage has been newly updated with wood-like vinyl floors, new kitchen, fresh paint in anticipation of converting it to a vacation rental. There is a patio out back with a re-finished picnic bench.

Just a short drive from the heart of Sequim, this rustic and charming cottage is a great place to relax or use as a base to explore the Olympic peninsula. Owned by the same family for generations.

Inside you’ll find one bedroom with a queen bed, a comfortable living room and a kitchen with all you need to make a scrumptious meal. The vinyl-wood floors add that cabin feel to the cottage.  Smart TV & Free wi-fi included.

In the main bedroom, there is a queen size bed. For more than 2 guests, you can use the comfortable pull-out full-size couch / bed in the living room. The kitchen has a full size washer and dryer for your laundry needs. For even more guests, check out "Waters Edge" which is right across the street.

Outside you can sit on the patio to shoot the breeze. There is a huge yard for the kids to play in. Walk straight to the private beach. Beaches in Washington are privately owned. The owner says there's about 320 linear feet of beach front is associated with the cottage.

Fragrance Free Home: we have supplied the home with unscented products (paper products, dish soap & detergent, clothes detergent, pump soap). Exceptions - shampoo and conditioner and wrapped tiny bar soaps. Our cleaners use fragrance free products.

Not far from the cottage you can visit the National Wildlife Refuge and Dungeness Spit. Take a bracing 5.5 mile walk out to the New Dungeness Lighthouse, the longest natural sand spit in the nation.

Only a short drive out to Port Angeles, head to Hurricane Ridge and Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center for beautiful hiking trails and amazing views. Head farther west to Lake Crescent for waterfall trails and a gorgeous teal deep water lake. Venture even further and the Hoh Rain Forest may tempt you for a real adventure.

There are many other local popular destinations such as Olympic Game Farm, Salt Creek Recreational Area/Crescent Beach, Seven Cedars Casino, Port Williams, the John Wayne Marina and even more scenic destinations a short drive away!

Only 55 minutes from Olympic National Park, where you can drive up to Hurricane Ridge for spectacular views and an easy hike at the top.

About 14 minutes from John Wayne Marina, which has excellent marine services, a restaurant, boat launch ramps, public beach access, and picnic areas.

Shacking up at the crab shack

My girlfriend and I stayed here for the week and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We explored Olympic National park and this location was perfect. Just far enough away from the buzz to where you could have peace and quite of the awesome property, but close enough to Port Angeles and the trail heads of the park. Biggest perk of staying here was that when we ever thought we needed something, the crab shack had it (coolers, collapsible lawn chairs, laundry detergent, the list goes on and on). Would highly recommend this listing for anyone looking for a place to stay in the Olympic National Park area!

Cute, cozy home with a beautiful view!

We loved our stay at the Crab Shack! The house is small but cozy with all the amenities you need. The view all around the house is breathtaking!!! We loved walking down to the beach in the morning to watch the sunrise over the mountains. And exploring the surrounding area during the day.

Cozy and cute 🏠

Very cute little place near to the water, cute and clean interior. The amenities are nice with a fully functional small kitchen and washer/dryer. The bed could be improved but it’s not bad and make sure not to leave anything out on the counter as there are sugar ants at this property. The only real complaint was the gap next to the sink that absolutely should not be there where my electric toothbrush fell and could not be retrieved otherwise I was very happy with my stay and the property, I felt at home.
