Treat your family and friends to a quintessential Pacific Northwest getaway at this three-bedroom Port Townsend retreat, a dog-friendly home with a spacious front porch, a breathtaking bayfront location, and access to a beautiful pebble beach.

This two-level home is situated on the high banks of Discovery Bay, an inlet of the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the mouth of Puget Sound, offering views of both the water and the mountains. It's across the street from a staircase to the beach, 15 miles from the Victorian waterfront of Port Townsend, and 16 miles from Sequim.

With hardwood floors and lovely craftsman details, this home is warm and welcoming after an outdoor adventure. Warm your feet by the gas fireplace, choose a DVD to watch on the TV (please be advised that there is no cable service), or challenge your friends to a board game.

Begin each morning in the full kitchen, which offers stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, a waffle iron, and other extra culinary tools. Enjoy breakfast as a family in the window-lined dining room before heading out the door for a morning walk on the beach.

Spend your days relaxing on the front porch, reading in one of the lounge chairs, or preparing the charcoal grill and patio table for a barbecue lunch. Two dogs are also welcome to join you here, but please note that there is an 80-lb weight limit.

This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home will sleep as many as six guests. Upstairs, there is a master bedroom with a queen-size bed and a guest room with a twin day bed and trundle. On the main floor, you'll find one bedroom with a queen bed just off the living room.

Additional amenities include WiFi throughout the home, a claw foot tub in one of the bathrooms, and a private washer/dryer for your salty beach clothes.

With a rich history and a stunning location in the northeastern reaches of the Olympic Peninsula, Port Townsend is a wonderful escape for outdoor enthusiasts. Rent a kayak from Port Townsend Watersports, take a walking tour of the historic district, pack a picnic to bring along to Fort Worden State Park, or hop a ferry for a scenic day trip to Whidbey Island just across the sound.

An awe-inspiring region will be at your fingertips - reserve your stay at this Port Townsend home today!

Port Townsend Perfection
This house was great for our family thanksgiving getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for a full thanksgiving meal. The layout of the house is incredible! And the view with the beach is amazing. The only downside was cobwebs, dust and a spider or two in the kitchen and living room area. But otherwise it was awesome. We definitely would book it again! Thank you!

Comfortable cozy home
We had a sister trip, all seniors. We found the home clean, well stocked for cooking meals with the exception of measuring cups. Loved the view. The steps to the beach were no problem for some but too many for others. The bedrooms were great, comfortable beds and a closet with plenty of hangers. Great to have 3 bathrooms and two had walk in showers!

Our family of six stayed here for a wedding that was held at Misty Clover Farm. The location was perfect, only 5 minutes or so from the venue. It’s about a 20 minute drive to Port Townsend, which is a lovely seaside village with many shops and restaurants, as well as a supermarket. The house was immaculately clean and well provisioned with what we needed. The online photos are very accurate. The spacious front porch is an amazing place to enjoy the setting overlooking Discovery Bay. I would highly recommend if you are coming to this area.

The best part of this property is the view from the porch. We were dismayed as to how poorly this property was maintained. 1. There was a partially consumed water bottle left by the housekeeping team on the porch. 2. The cottage was stuffy and had an odd smell when we entered. 3. There were smelly towels that were left in the hamper upstairs in the master bedroom. 4. A pillowcase with brown stains, sheets and towels left in the dryer. 4. Dining room so sticky that our elbows stuck to it. Not what we were expecting…all the dishes and flatware had to be washed on our first day.

Fun, quiet stay!
This was a cute little house on the bay. It was quiet with many birds, trees, and greenery. There were several things that needed repaired in the home- the fireplace doors were broken, the oven door did not close, and the back door had to be forcefully closed in order to lock. We gave the home a good cleaning when we arrived- dog poop in the front yard area, kitchen floor hadn’t been mopped in awhile, sheets had hair in them (multiple beds), rug in living room had pet stains on it. After doing this, it was a great stay. To get to the home, you have to go down a very narrow driveway past other homes. The neighbor next door was out several times. He had to move in order for us to get by. If you have to come and go alot, neighbor may get irritated!

The dishwasher was broken when we checked in. Contacted Vacasa but no one showed up to fix it. Wish they would cut back some of the brush in front to get a little nicer view of the water. Otherwise we always enjoy staying at the property.

Lovely home by the ocean
The home is lovely. Wood details on the staircase caught my eye right away. The kitchen has plenty of items needed to cook and dine in. There is a full size refrigerator. The master bedroom is large with a walk in closet and a nice size bathroom. There is a large porch with a filtered view of the ocean and comfy chairs with pillows. Beach access is challenging for anyone with physical issues. Be sure to follow the specific instructions to get to the home.

Great Getaway
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed a much needed girls weekend. I took a star away because the stairs down to the beach had several broken. Made it a little treacherous for us. But if those were fixed it would be 5 stars!

Cozy with a beautiful view, just needs a little TLC
We absolutely loved the house and views. The fireplace was amazing, especially during such a cold snap. Beds were comfortable and the house had most everything we needed to be comfortable. We enjoyed day trips to both Port Townsend and Sequim, each about 20min away. The house appeared very clean where it mattered most, but we started noticing dust, dirt underneath beds, furniture, in drawers. And whenever we got up from the couch, we had dog hair on our clothes (we don’t have a dog.) The kitchen was decently stocked, but the Frankenstein coffee maker needs to be replaced! We almost bought one at Goodwill but decided to make do. We also wished the kitchen had some sort of spray cleaner so we could wipe off counters more easily. It also lacked a kitchen towel. Overall, a lovely stay. The house is gorgeous, and our 4-year old had a blast playing all over the house and going down to the beach. But a little more attention to the details above would make a big difference.
