About this property

Private Waterfront Spa Retreat + Movie Theater

Designed for special occasions and intentional escapes. Relax in the hot tub or cedar sauna overlooking Discovery Bay, then settle into your private movie theater with a 98” screen, Atmos surround, and velvet recliners. Enjoy beach access, wildlife watching, cozy fireside evenings, and curated spaces that invite you to slow down and stay on purpose. Close to hiking, wineries, Port Townsend shopping and dining.

ROOM FOR EVERYONE
With 2,200 square feet of space, there’s room to spread out or gather together. Curl up in the window seat overlooking the bay with a cup of tea and a book. Choose from a curated selection of board games and craft supplies, settle into the oversized living room sofa for a cozy night in, or challenge someone to air hockey or an arcade game in the game room. End the evening with a glass of wine on the deck as the sun sets across the water — every room offers a breathtaking view of Discovery Bay and the surrounding mountains.

BEDROOMS
The primary bedroom features a comfortable king bed and expansive bay views. Down the hall, a charming bunk alcove with a private sink and privacy curtain delights kids and teens. On the lower level, you’ll find a second private bedroom with a queen bed. Each sleeping area is conveniently located near one of two full bathrooms.

KITCHEN
The well-stocked kitchen makes cooking easy, whether you’re preparing a farm-stand dinner or a simple breakfast before exploring. Full-size appliances, a dishwasher, cookware, bakeware, and serving pieces are all provided — plus a bag of locally roasted coffee beans for your morning brew.

THE SHIPWRECK THEATER (Private Movie Theater)
Welcome aboard the Shipwreck Theater — your private, immersive cinematic escape. Sink into oversized plush red velvet power recliners, arranged in true raked theater seating for perfect sightlines. Movies come alive on a 98" QLED screen with Dolby Atmos surround sound and dual subwoofers. A real ship’s wheel, curated lighting, and an in-room popcorn maker create an atmosphere that feels like stepping onto a vintage vessel set for adventure.

OUTDOOR SPA AMENITIES
Step outside for a true spa experience. Enjoy the jetted hot tub, rinse off in the heated outdoor shower, or relax in the cedar barrel sauna — all positioned to overlook the bay. From May through September, take the kayaks out on the calm waters or gather at the fire pit for stargazing and s’mores. In any season, the views are spectacular.

PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS
Guests have exclusive access to a private pebble-and-sand beach reached via a scenic trail through an old-growth ravine. At low tide, walk for miles along the shoreline and watch for eagles, herons, seals, and otters. It’s the perfect setting for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone needing a moment of quiet connection with the outdoors.

PRIME LOCATION FOR EXPLORING
Just 10 minutes from the charming Victorian seaport of Port Townsend, the cabin offers easy access to coastal dining, galleries, boutiques, wineries, and seasonal markets. Outdoor adventurers will appreciate the proximity to kayaking, hiking trails, and day trips to Olympic National Park.

SECLUDED AND TRANQUIL SETTING
Tucked back on a wooded acre, the Discovery Bay Lookout feels peaceful and private. A winding path leads through evergreens to panoramic water views. While there is one neighboring home and a few gravel driveways nearby, the property maintains a strong sense of privacy and serenity throughout your stay.

UNFORGETTABLE WILDLIFE AND SCENERY
Nature is part of the experience here. Watch bald eagles soar over the bay, seals play in the water, and vibrant sunsets fill the sky. On rare and unforgettable days, migrating orcas or gray whales pass the house — an awe-inspiring moment guests never forget.

YOUR PERFECT GETAWAY
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, planning a romantic escape, or creating family memories, this waterfront retreat offers the space, amenities, and tranquility to make your stay unforgettable. We look forward to welcoming you.

GUEST ACCESS
During your stay, you’ll have exclusive access to the entire cabin and all amenities — including the private hot tub, cedar sauna, game room, movie theater, and outdoor spaces.

There is a small guest cottage on the property that remains unoccupied and locked during all reservations. No one else will be on the property, ensuring a private and quiet retreat.

A wooded trail leads from the cabin through the trees to your own private pebble-and-sand beach. It’s perfect for beachcombing, wildlife viewing, kayaking, or sitting at the water’s edge with a cup of coffee.
Beach access varies with the tide, especially in winter months. For the best experience, we recommend checking tide schedules before planning shoreline walks.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
We respect your privacy and want your stay to feel effortless. We’re available by text or phone for anything you need—from local recommendations and restaurant tips to help with the amenities—but we give you complete space to enjoy the retreat uninterrupted. If a question comes up, just reach out. We’re happy to assist.

CAPACITY & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The cabin comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests total. The third sleeping space is a cozy semi-private alcove with twin bunk beds, a dedicated closet, sink, and a privacy curtain. The top bunk is designed for children only. Please refer to the floor plan in the photos for layout clarity.

SOUND & LOCATION
The property sits well back from a two-lane highway and is buffered by trees and a steep slope. It is possible that you may hear occasional road noise when outside, but inside the cabin, along the beach and on the deck, the experience is peaceful and serene.

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE TIMES
Early check-ins and late check-outs are rarely possible. Our cleaners need the full turnover window to prepare the home and all amenities to the standard our guests expect.

Perfect Home to enjoy Port Townsend

My husband and I spent 3 nights in Port Townsend and were thrilled with the house. It was clean, comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and so many extras! The host thought of everything. There were binoculars to enjoy incredible views of the water and helped us spot bald eagles & seals. The fireplace, sauna, hot tub and game room all added extra fun and relaxation to our stay. We can’t wait to book again.

Perfect Retreat during Thing Weekend

Our group really enjoyed hanging out in the dining room for breakfast in the morning and late evening during our getaway. We loved the kayaks (but good idea to get out early before the waters get rough). One friend swam in Discovery Bay, braving the chilly waters. The hot tub was a great way to warm up after our on-water adventures. Super lovely!

Beautiful setting! We spent most of our time at the kitchen table visiting, playing cards, sipping wine while enjoying the breathtaking view. The home was equipped with any essential one might have needed, but forgot to pack. The comfort of the home made for a most relaxing weekend.

All you need...

Found this property while looking for a place to stay while visiting a family member. Saw the game room and views and was SOLD! Very spacious and comfortable house with all of the amenities for young and old. The kids LOVED the book selection, the game room, the beach and the ROKU selection. Us adults loved the open space, the views and the many ways to keep the kids entertained and out of our hair! The house itself is very tidy with everything you need for cooking, eating and just hanging out in general. Temperature controls are obvious and easy to manage. And, the beds and bedding were quite lovely! Definitely an A+ rental to be visited again!

A wonderful getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Discovery Bay Lookout! It’s clear a lot of care and thought went into the details of this house. The decor was so cozy and stylish and the kitchen had all the tools and appliances we have at home. Beds and furniture were comfy and the kids loved the game room. Bathrooms were clean and serviceable. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the fireplace which was so nice after spending the day outside. The cabin was perfect for our family, but the real star was the location and that VIEW! You really can’t get a sense of it from the photos but the views are simply stellar. We spent a lot of time looking out over the water from the deck or the massive living room window seat. We saw lots of wildlife, including sea lions and bald eagles. The owner told us to come back in the spring and we might see orcas or humpbacks passing through the bay! The weather was a bit chilly, but we did manage to get down to the beach a couple of times. It’s very private and great beach combing. Be sure to check the tide schedule and go at low tide. The cabin is a 10 minute drive to Port Townsend, an extremely charming Victorian seaport with lots of great shopping and restaurants. We were also a short drive to some fantastic hiking spots and spent a day visiting the Olympic National Park and Sol Duc Hot Springs. This was a memorable trip for our family and we will definitely back. Thanks to the property hosts, who were so friendly and had great tips for the areas!
