About this property

Chez ZigZag: Relax in peace with a Killer View of water and mountains.


For larger groups (up to 10) all three of our units on the immediate property may be reserved. The other two are; OAK ALLEY - vrbo.com/1521849 and PORTHOLE - vrbo.com/3625064.

Sorry, but the SMALL PRINT needs to come next - The base price is for the initial one or two guests. Additional guests -INCLUDING CHILDREN OF ANY AGE - are charged at $50 per person, per night. Undeclared additional guests are charged at $100 per person, per night, charged through VRBO as "additional guest" and due immediately. THIRD PARTY BOOKINGS incur an additional charge of $500 due upon arrival. The external portions of the space (Front/Back yard, and walkways)are covered by security cameras to ensure the safety and integrity of the property. Use of the Sauna is shared with the unit on the alley (OAK ALLEY) and with the owners who live on the main floor. Instructions are on the Sauna and is "first come first served". The apartment and general grounds are SMOKE FREE and are not 420 friendly. There are four living units in this property. Due to their proximity, Quiet Times are from 10PM to 7AM.

There is a construction project in this neighborhood, so PARKING may be a challenge through Spring of 2026.

NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF. Chez ZigZag is an upstairs apartment accessed from 204 S Oak St. It has a delightful view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca , Victoria, B.C., Mt. Baker and assorted ocean going vessels. The activity of the harbor is always changing. Over 60 different types of boats and ships can be seen regularly.

"Chez" (pronounced "shay") is French for "at the home of", and "ZigZag" is derived from the locally named ‘zigzag’ walkway that connects the home to the downtown area. Chez ZigZag is within easy walking distance of: downtown and an excellent organic grocery "Country Aire", Field Arts And Event Center, and Safeway / Starbucks, the Coho Ferry and Hollywood Beach/ Discovery Trail head. Downtown also boasts a wide variety of excellent restaurants - all just a short walk away.

Guests have access to either the front patio with its clear "Dome-a-cile", the rear covered patio in the back, and the Sauna. Chez ZigZag offers a memorable home away from home, stocked with everything you could want or need for a wonderful visit to Port Angeles. The owners live on the main level and are eager to make sure your stay is the very best. Why stay anywhere else! Come and see.

Loved staying at Chez ZigZag! It was such a beautiful property. Amy & Brent were perfect hosts. The apartment was even better than the pictures. We loved the location for walkable access to downtown via the zigzag path. We shopped at the market at the bottom of the path and ate at a wonderful Italian restaurant recommended by our hosts. It was a great location to access Olympic National Park as well. Such a cozy place and the front and back yard were so inviting. We made a fire in the outdoor fireplace and enjoyed the night view of the port. Amazing stay and we hope to return!

Beautiful View- Great Location

My son and i stayed here 2 nights while exploring Olympic. The location made it easy to drive into the park and also walk downtown. The kitchen was well stocked and also had a beautiful view! We loved their patio and fire at night. We'd stay here again and stay longer. The hosts were amazing and extremely helpful!

This is definitely one of the best VRBO properties we have rented. It was super clean, great views, all the amenities, and just a short walk to downtown Port Angeles. Amy and Brent were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises. Thanks Amy and Brent.

Chez ZigZag is gorgeous! The views are fantastic. We walked down the zigzag stairs to downtown- a grocery store is right at the bottom of the steps and the ferry to Victoria is an easy 10 minute walk. If you put “James View Point” into your phone you’ll have no problem finding this place. High end everything- they have a clear geodesic dome in their yard/garden as an extra living room. We met the owner and he was very helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic time. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Amy or Brent Powell

Host profile image
Amy and Brent are both active Realtors with BROKERSGROUP Realty in Sequim WA. Both are regular cyclists and enjoy e-biking around the North Olympic Peninsula. Living here has been a blessing to them. They look forward to sharing the wonders of Port Angeles and the North Olympic Peninsula with their guests.
After living all over the USA, they've decided this is the best place of all. The natural beauty of the surroundings and the friendly people are delightful. Amy grew up in Pennsylvania, Brent in Southern Oregon. They have four grown children and four grand kids. They've now been married for 43 wonderful years and look forward to many more.
They live on the main floor and are available should a special need arise. They may, occasionally, be using either one of the two patios, or be maintaining other aspects of the property, but will endeavor to do this when Guests are not present when possible.

Why they chose this property

The Powells stumbled into a vacation rental. The home they purchased came with a separate apartment upstairs. The renters moved out and they spent the next 4 months remodeling the apartment. Amy did the designing, Brent and hired professionals did the rest.
They are excited to offer it to visitors to the North Olympic Peninsula. "If we came to Port Angeles looking for a vacation rental, this is the one we would pick. It is luxurious, and centrally located with easy access to just about everything." Chez ZigZag provides a peaceful retreat that can't be beat. Come and see. You won't be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

We were attracted to our home by the fact it had been solidly and well constructed and remained in original condition. Best of all there had been no mediocre, ill conceived, home owner remodels to correct... it was a blank canvas. What you see now took several years, financial commitment and many craftsmen's hours to accomplish. We are excited to share it with you.
