Sitting on 5 private acres overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, this newly renovated 3BR/2BA retreat sleeps six and provides all the comforts of home. Enjoy views of the Salish Sea, Vancouver Island, and passing ship traffic. Spend time outdoors on the expansive patio, relaxing in the hot tub, gathering around the gas fire pit table, and watching the diverse wildlife casually going about their daily routine.

We absolutely loved our stay at the residence of Freshwater Bay. The location was beautiful and peaceful with stunning view. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and appreciated the access to the garage to store our bikes. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Kelly Johnson
I bring the same exceptional service and attention to detail to hosting that made me a top real estate managing broker on the Olympic Peninsula. As a member of the community for 20+ years, I love sharing local beauty and providing recommendations for hiking, dining, sightseeing, and hidden gems throughout Port Angeles, Sequim, and the surrounding Olympic Peninsula. Guests can expect responsiveness, thoughtful touches, and a smooth, welcoming stay from booking to checkout.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is a very special place to me. When I made the decision to move to the Olympic Peninsula over 20 years ago, I set out on an exhaustive search to find the perfect blend of peacefulness, natural beauty, views, and location. The few houses and properties you pass on the road are well spread out and often full of families of deer. Everyone goes about their lives at a leisurely pace, always making time to stop what they are doing and give a friendly wave as you pass by. The Freshwater Bay boat launch, park, and beach, are just down the road and other renowned recreational areas just a short drive away.
What makes this property unique
From the moment I drove up to the raw land, I knew it was going to be the perfect place to build a house. Not just any house, but a house befitting and complimentary of the natural beauty surrounding it. There are no other houses visible from the property which gives the feeling of your own private national park. From the views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the deer sleeping under the tree, no words can do the property justice. When you are here, you will feel like you are hundreds of miles from the hustle and bustle of the real world yet you are still only 15 minutes from town. Kick back, relax in the custom home, styled with items I love, and stocked with everything you will need.
