Old world meets modern luxury in the heart of Port Townsend. Just three blocks from downtown, and two blocks from the historic uptown center with shops, restaurants, and a renowned farmers market. A charming apartment with kitchen, bath and eating area in an 1879 Victorian farmhouse that was converted into three apartments in 1949.

Bright, fresh, clean and practical. Close to everything Port Townsend has to offer and providing amazing views of the historic uptown neighborhood sprinkled with Puget Sound water views.

Wander the wonderful neighborhood that is chalk-a-block with historic homes or take the kids to one of the two parks within walking distance. View the Puget Sound and internationally acclaimed Ann Starrett Mansion from the spacious apartment.

You'll have a fully furnished apartment with a flatscreen TV, cable and Netflix and a fully loaded kitchen to cook local veggies and meats from Aldrich's Market, just up the street. Enjoy the awesome restaurants within walking distance or save some money and cook your own food with a 2 burner cook top and a toaster oven.

High quality linens, bubble bath, soap and coffee supplied.

We have a highchair & crib/pack-n-play within the apartment, and have no minimum age of guests, as we are family friendly.

The studio apartment is located on the 2nd floor of the Victorian.
The property is comprised of two vacation rentals and two private residences.

We are open to long-term rental situations January - March, inquire if interested.

This is a great spot in Port Townsend, walkable to both the Downtown and Uptown neighborhoods, and the shopping, grocery, and restaurants in those areas. Tons of character, so much nicer than hotels which so often feel pretty sterile and corporate.

Wonderful!

This old home was amazing. My daughter got married at the Maritime Center and our family rented the entire home for the week. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to town, it was simply lovely. The only thing I would add to this home would be a grill for outdoor cooking. Thank you to the hosts for renting this beautiful home.

Delightful studio.

We enjoyed our stay at this studio apartment in Port Townsend. It is in a perfect location to enjoy the downtown area, the Saturday farmers market and the various activities around town. Cooking facilities are limited but adequate.

Lovely room with small kitchen (microwave was on top of the refrigerator). We had a very pleasant stay and easily walked the few blocks to the historic downtown where we ate at two excellent restaurants. Our only difficulty was that the toilet did back up once, but we were able to clear it with the plunger we found in the room. The bed was quite comfortable and we were quite warm under the comforter. Thanks for a great stay!

Charm and quaint!

We very much enjoyed our stay in Apartment 3 at the People's House. It was so much bigger than I expected. The bed was super comfy! It was extremely cozy and very quiet. The kitchen had everything we needed and the place was spotless. One of our favorites about this place is that it is walking distance to the uptown spots like Aldrich's as well as the waterfront area. We will definitely come back!

Comfortable Centrally Located Studio

We enjoyed staying at this studio. The location was perfect for us. It was easily walkable to downtown but situated in a quiet neighborhood. We were pleasantly surprised with the Rhody Festival and all the activities associated with that. The parade route was just one block over so we got to just look out our window or walk outside to catch some of the festivities. We also found everyone in Port Townsend to be friendly and welcoming.

Comfy bed in great location

Great location in the quiet historic uptown neighborhood, but a very short 8 minute walk to downtown core. Easy street parking. Very clean unit. The bed was very comfortable for my needs (e.g. medium firm base with ample topper that supports the hips and lower back). However, I would happily forgo a side table in exchange for a wider king bed. I appreciated the decently stocked kitchenette. My one request is to replace the hair dryer. The low speed hardly functions to blow warm air. The high speed is so hot it is almost intolerable to use and overheated with a puff of smoke in less than 3 minutes. I recommend guests with hair longer than a pixie cut pack their own hair drier, unless management decides to replace the product.

About the host

Hosted by Tobiyah McEnerney

Host profile image
We are a family of three living and working in Port Townsend. PT is a unique and special place, and all three of us are deeply connected within the community. We value this historic home, this wonderful town, and the guests we host with true gratitude.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Kelly, our property manager and your host. She has been taking care of guests and maintaining the home for over 7 years and we couldn't do it without her.

We purchased the home in 2014 out of foreclosure and it was in rough shape. Much love was put into fixing it up, and we are astonished every time we look at it and think "wow, how where we able to do this?"

Our family was inspired to open a "pensione" after my wife and I spent time at one on our honeymoon. We loved that the whole family was involved. The husband drove us around, the wife made us comfortable, and the kids brought us coffee and tea. It was a vision for our family we wanted to re-create.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because it is in what we believe to be the best location in Port Townsend, it has had many major improvements to it, and because it "felt" very right.

What makes this property unique

This location is literally as perfect as it can get in Port Townsend. Blocks from both downtown and the uptown district with views, peace, and a vibe that can't be beat.
