Use of the Sauna provided with and additional fee of $50 which comes through VRVBO as "hot tub" since there is no "sauna" box to check. It is shared with the rental on the alley and the owners who use it very seldom. Instructions are on the Sauna and is "first come first served". The apartment and general grounds are SMOKE FREE and are not 420 friendly. Out of respect for the occupants of the two other apartments on this property QUIET TIME is from 10PM to 7AM. Therefore....T

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 an amazing outdoor fireplace, a clear dome (often used for quiet reflection and reading,) 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 your stay the very best. Why stay anywhere else! Come and see, you won't be disappointed.

Comfortable space, nicely decorated. Beautifully landscaped yard. Owners very nice...gave us fresh eggs from their chickens. Place is located walking distance to ferry. Restaurants and grocery store all very close
Loved loved this place ! Views were great and walking distance to restaurants. The fireplace in the back was perfection and the host made sure logs were ready to go each day. We loved their dog!
Perfect location and the apartment is so charming with special touches like farm fresh eggs and shampoo that smelled amazing. The property is beautiful with vibrant flowers, chickens, grape vines, and apple trees. The view was of the port was nice and we loved opening the windows listening to the tugboats and seagulls.
Chez Zig Zag was a beautifully maintained property. Amy and Brent were excellent hosts. The home had everything you could need to make your stay enjoyable. The location was also great since it was walking distance to the town. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed this beautiful property with its great location, views, and welcoming owners. Amy & Brent made us feel like guest rather than tenants. They have thought of everything, and communication was timely and helpful. Comfortable beds, nicely appointed and a darling apartment with beautiful gardens on the property.
The accommodations are comfortable with all the amenities necessary. The view is incredible! We enjoyed the patio and all the places to relax outdoors. Again, all while looking out to the water & downtown Port Angeles. Very convenient to the ferry, restaurants, & businesses. We especially loved the Country Aire Natural Foods grocery at the bottom of the zig zag walkway. Oh, and the resident dog Winnie is very sweet!
The apartment is darling and perfectly located. We spent our days exploring the Olympic National Park and then could just walk downtown to find a restaurant for dinner. The view is lovely. It was a treat to drink my morning coffee and look out over the water. The apartment has everything you need, and the hosts are very helpful. Highly recommend.
We absolutely loved our stay at Chez ZigZag! From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and at home. The flat was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable, and you can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into making the space welcoming for guests.One of our favorite parts was the beautiful outdoor area. We loved sitting by the outdoor fireplace in the evenings and enjoying a fire, with the wood thoughtfully supplied by the owners. The gardens and outdoor spaces made the property feel extra special.We also had the pleasure of meeting both owners, who were so friendly, gracious, and welcoming. And I have to mention the chickens! I absolutely adored their little chicken coop and visiting with the chickens. Winnie, their sweet dog, completely stole our hearts too — she loved playing ball and was such a fun part of our stay.Chez ZigZag was more than just a place to stay while visiting the Olympic Peninsula — it became a wonderful part of our Washington experience. We felt very comfortable and well cared for throughout our visit. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Chez ZigZag to anyone visiting the Port Angeles/Olympic National Park area. A truly wonderful experience!
The mountain and water views were spectacular! The hosts were also fantastic! Super-friendly, very respectful of our privacy but most definitely available for questions and suggestions for things to do. Also, every room had so much thought put into it that whenever we looked for something, we found it right where we would have put it. It really is a very well-thought out design. All this and the price was very reasonable. We are most definitely going to return there!
Great location with an easy walk into town. The apartment was clean and comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Amy or Brent Powell
Amy and Brent are both active Realtors with BROKERSGROUP Real Estate Professionals 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. When possible, they will to do this when Guests are not present.
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.
