Wow location

This lovely house was a great base for seeing Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, Hoh Rain Forest and Ruby Beach, Port Angrles and Sequim. We loved walking on the beach, saw deer frequently and bald eagles. Clean, well stocked, lots of games. I especially enjoyed the owners beautiful art! A wonderful vacation!

Cute beach house in a wonderful location!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is a short walk to the beach through a yard that looks like an enchanted forest. Watching the sun set from the chairs by the beach was amazing. The location was perfect for day trips to explore Olympic National Park. We took the ferry out of Port Angeles to Victoria, Canada for a day trip. We have stayed at many VRBOs, and this is definitely one of our favorites. We would definitely stay here again if we get the chance! My kids did not want to leave!

Amazing few days

The photos really don’t do this place justice. You are literally 30 seconds from the back door to a stunning beach that was, at least during our stay, largely empty. Had a minor miscommunication re: pre-check in cleaning, but the host and cleaner were quick to mitigate. Would absolutely stay here again — just need to find an opening.

Breathtaking and serene

A perfect getaway on a sleepy street.The property is a short walk to the beach through the backyard. Windwarped trees offer a unique perspective and shelter from the rain. The beach is sandy in some spots, rocky in others with interesting driftwood littered about.The home has everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely return.
