Nicely equipped and cozy

The house itself was cozy and as described. The difference between this home and homes we typically rent is how the house was stocked for use. From coolers to use to laundry detergent to more than the minimum number of towels, we really appreciated these small comforts. Thank you.

Visiting and helping out a friend empty out & back in house to get carpet replaced

The photos just don't do this house justice. As soon as you walk in, you feel relaxed and in awe over the incredible view. The house is set out on the cliff away from Neighboor's. And is completely private. Every detail in this house has been taken care of. I was so bummed I forgot my Binoculars, until I realized the house came with a high end pair. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet setting with an amazing view. My wife and I will be returning as soon as possible.

Great location, amenities, and host

Had a great stay at the waterfront house! Everything that you’d want- great views of the strait and Victoria… easy access to the park.. short walk to downtown via the discovery trail -which we did and were greeted by some sea otters. Emma was a gracious host and came by to check on us and offer dining/area info… don’t hesitate!!!

Wonderful location, very welcoming host, extremely clean windows to view the ever changing scenery!

A very clean and well appointed home right on Puget Sound with views of Vancouver Island and Mount Baker. The ferries, cruise and cargo ships, sail boats, along with beautiful sun and moon rises, deer and birds…gave us ever changing vistas and views along with other surprises from our bedroom and living room picture windows, made this the perfect place to unwind and have a fabulous respite after following a busy HYW 101 from the south visiting and staying at all the resorts and lodges(fantastic) along the way. With Hurricane Ridge (a straight line-from the front door), wonderful restaurants, grocery and retail stores and the wharf and the ferry to Victoria B.C. (a lovely ninety minute ride each way) only blocks away, it was an ideal location for a lovely vacation home for us. Hosts and owners Emma and Scott (next door and unobtrusive neighbors) were very welcoming with fresh cut flowers, candies and a personal note of welcoming, not to mention, soft drinks, water, and coffee. Best of all a special shout out to Scott for the clean windows…quite stunning.Thank you,Tom and Marcia Johnson

Great Location - Fabulous Host

Four of us traveled to see Olympic NP and Victoria BC. The location of this place cannot be beat. 2 parking spaces in front. Easy 20 min walk to “downtown” Port Angeles (food, cute shops) and the Ferry to Victoria. An older and very quaint home RIGHT on the water (seriously - only feet away). Enjoyed the view and watching the boats come and go. It also has adequate and comfortable seating in the living area for 4 people. Many places I’ve stayed, this isn’t the case, but we could all relax comfortably together.I was a little worried of the location next to the hospital, but didn’t hear any ambulance noise during our stay. Twice we heard late night helicopter come in - but it wasn’t constant or troublesome to us at all. The port was also not too noisy as the ferry horns were over by 10pm and didn’t start until ~ 8amThis is possibly the most well appointed home I have ever booked. The kitchen and home was perfect - very well stocked (extra spices, Olive Oil, dishes, cookware, laundry soap, hand soap, shampoo, towels) and very organized. Other places I have stayed, everything is scattered all over - but this host took the time between guests to set everything in its place to be easily found.Emma sent a comprehensive list of things to do, favorite places to eat in and around Port Angeles. We referenced this list many times during our stay. Would highly recommend this house - and would not hesitate to rebook myself.

This is a beautiful, well equipped, comfortable house overlooking the water. We’re on a three week trip through Oregon, Washington, Victoria and Vancouver, Canada. The house in Port Angeles has been the most comfortable by far.

Beyond All Expectations

The most perfect stay anyone could ever ask for! Easy to find home with great communication from owners! (Who are now friends) Opening the door during sunset to that view literally took our breath away! There wasn't a dry eye in the house! So so so beautiful beyond words! Most comfortable beds ever! Just absolutely beyond perfect! The owner was in constant quick response contact with all kinds of ideas for amazing things to do, they even came over for coffee and we had the most fun visit and got selfies together and played with their dogs! Felt like old friends we'd known forever! All amenities you could think of were provided, even cold drinks in the fridge! Even my disabled grandmother (85) with severe back and mobility problems slept like a baby and didn't have a bit of discomfort from the beds. You have to drive out to Ediz Hook and watch the sunset if you stay here, it's only a 10 minute drive and it's the most beautiful thing you could ever see! We were going to go during the day but owners suggested sunset and they were right! Make a hot coffee throw it in a to go cup and go sit on the stones while the waves crash at your feet! It was a little chilly and windy but such a perfect moment in time!!! 10/10 will be doing everything in my power to go back again and will stay in only this house everytime!!!

Peaceful comfort

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath property overlooks the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It's difficult to imagine a more peaceful setting. We had a prime seat to beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and spent many hours watching the activity (birds, boats, sea mammals) happening outside our window. It is also in easy walking distance to the Olympic Discovery Trail and downtown. It also provides easy access to all the natural beauty that Olympic National Park and the surrounding area offers. The home is well equipped (including binoculars) and extremely comfortable. Check in was easy and communication excellent. We'll be back!

Perfection

This home was by far the best rental we’ve ever stayed in! The location and comfort of this home was great. More importantly the hosts were friendly and the house had so many “extras”. I’m talking snacks, drinks, soaps (laundry too). I would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Fantastic house and views!

This house is so wonderful. The fantastic views hit you first through the huge windows in the main room and bedrooms. The house has been updated and upgraded in just about every way. The kitchen was very well appointed with seemingly new cookware and has everything you could want. The bathrooms and bedrooms are great and the beds were very comfortable. The Olympic Discovery Trail runs right in front of the house below a steep hill. But there is easy access about 3 blocks away. It is a delightful walk on the trail to the wharf and downtown area. We highly recommend this place.

We love this little house

We are repeat guests and would definitely stay here again. The home has an uncluttered, cozy, comfortable feeling. Tastefully decorated, modern kitchen and laundry. Comfy beds. Plenty of fluffy thick towels. Dazzling view of the Straight and Ediz Hook. Easy access to downtown and everything else in and around P.A. Yet it's tucked away with lots of quiet. Back patio has bbq and comfy looking patio furniture (which we haven't had the opportunity to use yet.) Parking for 2 vehicles in the private driveway. Every morning we watched the deer hang out in the big yard next door and the eagle that perches in the treetop a few lots away hunting for breakfast (binoculars provided by the host.) Five stars for this place!
