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.

Excellent Stay

We had never been to Washington State and tacked on a few days stay after a conference in the city. This rental did not disappoint! The location was amazing and we walked the beach many times. Port Angeles is a great little town close to the national park. We had the opportunity to hike, eat great food and rest in a peaceful house not far from the most amazing beach! The home was comfortable, neat, well kept and the beds were good. Thanks!

Comfortable spacious home on a beautiful beach

Perfect stay in a large, clean, well-equipped home tucked away in a quiet seaside neighborhood. Right on a fantastic beach where you could walk easily in both directions as well as enjoy the sounds of the waves and the views of Canada across the strait. Short drive into town. Great access to Olympic National Park including Crescent Lake and Hurricane Ridge. Would definitely stay again.

Top 3 Favorite

First of all the view of the beach and the ability to spend time on the beach was fabulous. The stars at night were amazing. I enjoy cooking for my family and this house has the best appointed kitchen of our entire trip. Everything I could possibly ask for in a kitchen. The house was very clean and we had plenty of room to spread out. A very enjoyable stay.

Great location to enjoy sunsets. The home was comfortable and clean and conveniently located near the entrance to Olympic National Park. We especially enjoyed exploring the beach and hiking Hurricane Ridge, Sol Duc, and Marymere trails and kayaking on Crescent Lake. Recommend getting the clam appetizer at the Crescent Lake Lodge.
