Relaxing

Great spot tucked away-I am reluctant to say too many great things because it was harder to book dates for this year! Scanning the horizon for wildlife and boats is our favourite. The northern lights made an appearance during our stay and at one point it looked like a rainbow was shooting out of Mt Baker and reflecting across the ocean at us. I can’t wait to come back!

Great View, Needs some upgrades

Unbeatable view. Many beautiful authentic mid century pieces of furniture in this artist’s home but some of them should be reupholstered or replaced as they are quite dirty and in some cases not functional any more.

Beautiful home and view

We had a great weekend at the Artist’s House. The view and beach access were some of the best parts, including eating meals outside. The house is incredibly well equipped, especially the kitchen. There was every type of cooking tool you could even imagine needing and there was a huge array of dish-ware. The rest of the house had plenty of towels, outdoor towels, outdoor blankets, deck chairs, etc. There was nothing else we needed! It did take us a minute to figure out where to dispose of the trash/recycling. For those that come after us and read this review, there is a woodshed building in the garden that has bins of trash, recyclables (plastic/cans/cardboard), and glass. We had such a lovely time and will happily come back.

Quiet Retreat

This is a little drive off the beaten path and not within Port Townsend itself, but it had everything my family needed. Managed to do a little work in the upper office, yoga on the little wooden deck overhanging the ocean, beach walks, and plenty of time staring out the windows. We would plan to cook more at home next time, as the kitchen is very well-equipped. We also brought binoculars, as you will want to be searching for wildlife and trying to read the names on the boats. Thank you!

Waterfront Home

Great views of Admiralty Inlet at the start of Puget Sound. Quiet country location, a little dusty and rustic inside but all necessities for the family.

Awesome Views

Little remote if you are heading to the rain forest or other locations on the Olympic Peninsula, but nice house and awesome location on the water. Super peaceful. Really enjoyed the eclectic décor and doing research on the prior owner/artist. You can tell it was owned by an artistic personality. If you want a spacious home with amazing views, this is for you.

Amazing view, fun stay

This was an unforgettable stay. We enjoyed the deck and the incredible views, made dinners together in the well appointed kitchen, and the youngest among us played the piano every day. We walked the beach, cooked steaks on the grill, and drifted off to sleep to the sound of lapping waves. We can't wait to come back!

Incredible view…terrible housekeeping

We rented this home for the weekend of my daughter’s wedding. By the end of the weekend, I was getting used to the quirkiness and figuring out all of the light switches. The view is incredible and being able to wake up to the sunrise daily and beachcomb was awesome. The downside is that the house was dirty. The sheets on the upstairs bed were dirty with hair and grass on them. When we walked into the house, there were Cheetos on one of the side tables and on the floor. I slid out the microwave to get something that had dropped behind and it was so dirty I just left what had fallen back there. It was just generally dirty which was really unfortunate. I would stay again but I would come with my own bedding and prepared to clean.

Coastal hideaway

This property popped up as Port townsend accommodation with our google search. We were a bit surprised at how far it was, but it was such a treat! Otters having breakfast, sea lions, seals, hummingbirds, and warm sunny days. The ships passing through were also a big excitement for our kids. We really didn’t want to leave, and hope to come back! The kitchen is also very well-equipped and the whole place had a great feel. We didn’t discover the separate suite until our last day, but would to have needed anyway. The stairs are pretty rustic and we had to keep stressing to our kids to walk slowly and hold the railings.

Awesome beach view and access but not comfy or very clean

The access to the beach is awesome. Beware if you have small children/pets that there is a section of stairs with a platform that has no wall/railing that could be fallen off of and the stairs crank up at the bottom, so don't let little ones/pets rush ahead without you. The views from the house are spectacular. So much to see out the window/from the deck. The house was in desperate need of a deep clean and the sheets were not clean on the bed- we had to strip them, wash them, and put different sheets on. There was dust/ dead bugs on windowsills and lots of cobwebs. There was also a spider web and we saw multiple spiders inside the house. The furniture is mid-century modern and very uncomfortable. The "DVD library" was about 5 DVDs and three of them were musical performances. Dances with Wolves was the only title we recognized. There was no foosball table as stated in the listing.

Nice home, great location!

The home is a nice place that is very private and has a fantastic view. The living room and master bedroom both have large picture windows with amazing views of puget sound and Whidbey island. There is a nice deck overlooking the sound, with a stairway that accesses the private beach. There is a caretaker that lives on the property, but she’s very friendly and she doesn’t bother anyone. The house is decorated with mid century modern furniture, which looks cool but is not very comfortable, the kitchen is very functional, and well stocked with pans, dishes, and utensils. We cooked several meals and found the kitchen to be very nice. There is a grand piano in the living room, which is great if you play, but otherwise it takes up too much space, space that could be used for more furniture. The nearest store is 15-20 minutes away. Internet is good. There is a tv with Netflix. There are a couple board games, but I’d bring your own. If you have small kids, watch the around the deck and stairs, they aren’t very safe. Just a few complaints- the house is COLD when you check in. There are electric heaters, but they take forever to heat. There is a working wood stove, and the house is stocked with some wood, but I suggest bringing kindling or duraflame logs. Also; the master bathroom has no blinds on the large picture windows which means that unless you don’t mind showing the neighbors your bits and bobs, you’ll have to use the downstairs bathroom. We had a circuit breaker trip whilst there and had to call VRBO to find it (behind a picture in the small bedroom) Overall it was a good stay, and I would definitely stay there again. More so if they upgrade to more comfortable furniture.

Beautiful view

Very nice setting. It was a clear day and we could see Mt Rainier, Mt Baker and Glacier Peak. The next day was cloudy and a bit stormy but we still had the view of rainbows and ships transiting the water between Marrowstone and Whidbey Islands. The open setting makes for a very nice gathering space.
