About this property

Fully restored 1872 house in historic Port Townsend.

The Phillips House was built in 1872 and is listed on the Port Townsend Historic Register. The 2,500 sq ft home has been completely renovated, including a new kitchen. There is a master bedroom and bath downstairs and two bedrooms and a bath with a soaking tub upstairs. There is plenty of room for entertaining in the formal dining room and views from the sitting room allow guests to see the sun rise over Mount Rainier and the Cascade Mountains. The sitting room also looks over the Port Townsend waterfront. The library, with television, can double as an extra bedroom.
Enjoy coffee on the deck or use the barbeque for outdoor dining. The summers are gorgeous in Port Townsend.
The house is ideally located in uptown Port Townsend, 2 blocks from the local bakery, grocery store and farmer’s market as well as great restaurants and the historic Uptown Theater. Downtown is a mere 3 blocks and a set of steps to the Haller Fountain – the gathering place on the Port Townsend waterfront. The Rose Theater, numerous art galleries, boutiques, cafes and fine restaurants, the marina and the center of many festivals are minutes away – by foot.

Exceptional!

We love the view of the ferry landing and departing and the birds soaring over the shoreline. The house has everything you'd need for a homey stay. It's so close to so many things that we just park our car and walk everywhere. This is our second stay. I hope we will have a chance to visit again.

Charming for a "Victorian" spinster...

...would be delightful for an entire vacationing family. Comfortable environment, entrancing architectural features, stunning views, could not be a more walkable location, very personable/responsive hosts, notably reasonable cost for a vacation rental. For me, the extended stay arrangement has been ideal. Memorable!

Great location, great hosts!

The location was perfect for us and visiting family. The hosts were super responsive and easy to communicate with them. The house was spotless when I arrived and the layout was great for us. The view from the living room was amazing and I spent many hours reading and watching the water. My work is dependent on a good WiFi connection and I had zero issues. It was really sad to have to leave.

Another month -

Must reiterate - couldn't be a more pleasant & convenient location...even w/out a vehicle. Safe/quiet neighborhood, too. Lovely/peaceful views from all over the house. Deer, squirrels, birds... Hosts are great. House is comfortable - with charming decor items. Salish photographs in dining room are very compelling. Memorable in every sense.

Lovely Home and Location

This was the perfect stay! We adore Port Townsend and the house was beautiful and charming with plenty of space and an amazing view! It was stocked with everything we could have wanted. The neighborhood was perfectly located to walk everywhere and the neighbors are friendly and helpful. We loved sitting on the back porch with our coffee, looking at the water and watching the deer every morning. The living room was really bright and welcoming with a contemporary but vintage vibe. We could walk to the weekly market and both the shops and restaurants of uptown and downtown. We hope to return soon!

Perfect Port Townsend

We miss our uptown home already. We were between selling our home in Tacoma and purchasing a home in Port Townsend. This could have been an unsettling time- especially for our ten year old daughter; instead, it was delightful. From the welcoming interior, to the charming toys, to the location, to the lovely view this was the PERFECT place to call “home” for a month. Thank you for sharing such a special place and making this a wonderful memory instead of an inconvenience. We appreciate you and your home!

What a find in Port Townsend!!

We were very fortunate to have had a cancellation open up for us to book this lovely home with Deborah. It is conveniently located in uptown and literally a couple blocks (5 min walk) from the main street of downtown with many shops and restaurants. It's very close to all that is happening in PT, yet far enough away that it is very peaceful and quiet day & night. The home is a victorian classic that has been fully modernized. It's very well appointed for a month long stay. Deb was super friendly, responsive and helpful with replacement of a pedestal fan that stopped working during our stay. If you can find availability at this PT charmer, I would highly recommend booking this wonderful home.

Beautiful fully restored older home in ideal PT location

Gorgeous house. Pictures don’t do it justice. House is blocks from the “uptown” business district (where the Saturday Farmer’s Market is located) and a matter of 50 yards to the stairs to “downtown.” Very quiet neighborhood/street. Lots of deer. A beautiful church on almost every corner. Especially gorgeous upstairs bath with claw foot tub. For those traveling in the warm months: Be sure to check out the beach at Fort Worden- quiet and lovely. Also there’s a Fifties style restaurant downtown that’s good for kids- sit on the patio. (Insider tip: they keep strange hours so be sure to check ahead). There’s an especially cute and affordable gift shop a few blocks away called Petals. Happy travels!

A month of lifetime memories

We loved everything about our stay at the Phillip's House. It was immaculate on our arrival. Everything in historic Port Townsend was within a short walk: farmers' market, grocery store, waterfront, antique stores, shops, restaurants, ferry...everything you'd want. We loved the bay window with the view of the ferries coming in and out of the harbor and seeing the daily visits of deer. The owners have done an outstanding job of anticipating everything a family needs for a comfortable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Moriarty

Host profile image
Stephen and Deborah Moriarty raised their family and live on the Olympic Peninsula. They are avid gardeners and hikers and enjoyed working with a contractor to renovate the Phillips House.
The Moriarty's love to travel and use VRBO wherever they go.

Why they chose this property

Port Townsend is a wonderful place to visit. There are always festivals and shows and many fine restaurants and cozy coffee houses. The Phillips House is a taste of the colorful history of Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula and we would like to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

The Phillips House is in uptown Port Townsend with sweeping views of Port Townsend Bay. There is nothing more wonderful than watching the sailboat races on Sundays, unless of course you are in them, or the sun rise over Mount Rainier. These are the views from the many windows overlooking the waterfront. The house was changed little, except for the addition of a workable kitchen, during the renovation. It still holds all the charm and style from the time it was built by Mr. Phillips in 1872.
