COVID CLEANING; Our housekeepers sanitize our home between guest stays. we also supply various hand sanitizers, wipes, and disinfectant cleaners for guest use. We take you health and safety VERY seriously.

Enjoy the incredible views from this lovely custom-built waterfront home that will take your breath away. The house offers 270 deg. unobstructed waterfront views. A secluded setting with a large green belt on one side and a house set back from visibility on the other. Sit in the solarium and watch the eagles fly right overhead or fish in the water below you while drinking your morning espresso from our machine.

You'll enjoy unobstructed views of Puget Sound, the Cascade mountains and Mt. Baker from virtually every room in the house. Watch the ever changing activity of cruise ships, sailboats, tankers or an occasional nuclear submarine from our large deck or our cozy solarium. The natural planted landscaped yard is designed for the enjoyment of the wildlife, privacy and easy maintenance and features a tranquil pond and natural woodland setting. We leave plants with seeds for the wildlife to feed through the winter. There is a trail behind the house leading down to the beach. At low tide enjoy a walk exploring over a mile of beach, dig for clams or just sit on a log and relax next to a beach fire.
We also have three, two-man kayaks (in summer only) and a 4- man inflatable boat. Want to do some foraging? We have crab pots and clamming tools for your enjoyment. We have Geoducks!!! Or just kick back on the large deck or in the solarium and watch the deer and racoons wander through the yard any given day or watch the eagles soaring above fishing the waters on our beach below. Many birds stop by for a drink from our pond just outside of the solarium. There is a small patio on the south side of the house to savor the late afternoon sun and the view while lounging in our "outdoor living room" with a glass of wine. Cushions and pillows are stored just to the left side of the man door to the garage.

The fully equipped kitchen has a 5-burner professional gas cook top, double ovens and large side-by-side refrigerator, (We have a second full size refrigerator in the laundry room next to the pantry for your box store shopping trips.) There are beautiful granite slab countertops, and a view that makes cooking a real pleasure. Or you can pull up a bar stool to the eating counter and grab a quick snack. Fine dining is minutes away at several of our favorite restaurants if you aren't in the mood for cooking.

The living room has a stone wall with a gas fireplace and a 55" Samsung Smart TV. Snuggle up on the comfy sofas in front of the fireplace and enjoy great conversation, a good book or a glass of wine. Or, simply admire the beauty of the view.

The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet, a king sized bed and 12' sliding glass doors that open to the deck. Lie in bed and enjoy the electric fireplace in the evening and see the cruise ships heading back to port. Or if you're an early riser, watch the sun rise over the Cascade Mts. Master bath vanity has double sink with granite slab counter top, spa-like shower with double shower heads, and like almost everywhere in this home, incredible water and mountain views!

Bedroom 2 has queen sized bed and a garden view. (The only room in the house without ocean and mountain views.)

Bedroom 3 is very large with queen bed (and available space for our queen, double high air bed available for those groups looking for a couple more sleeping spots). Glass doors open to the deck. Relax with a cup of coffee at the bistro table with four chairs and view the marvelous water and mountain views or the turn on the electric fireplace for added enjoyment .

Bedroom 4 is in our second floor loft. It has a queen bed as well as a convertible double sofa bed.

We have a private office area in the loft with its own spectacular views equipped with a desk, ergonomic chair and office basics supplies (if you really need to do some work).

The house is beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated in a Nautical theme to make your stay feel extra special and comfortable.

The soft breezes from the water below make grilling and dining, on the deck table a real pleasure.

Several comfortable lounge chairs are also provided on the deck. Try to spot the seals and otters on the rocks below with the telescopes and binoculars provided or just marvel at the incredible view. There is another patio with lounge sectional outdoor furniture at the south end of the yard to enjoy the afternoon sun and Happy Hour.

From Port Ludlow hook up to the Bainbridge ferry to Seattle and tour the waterfront and famous Pike Place Market or drive about 1.5 hrs to Port Angeles and take the ferry to Victoria B.C. and spend the day in that charming city. Add a visit to the world famous Butchart Gardens in B.C. Also Whidbey Island, Hurricane Ridge, the Olympic Rain Forest, Ocean Beaches, Poulsbo, Sequim (with its lavender festival) and Historic Port Townsend and/or Port Gamble are great day trips.

Historic Port Townsend is about 25 minutes away with antique shops, many talented artists offering their wares and lots of charming shops. Farmer's Markets are held every Saturday during the spring and summer. Visit Bremerton and tour the naval shipyards or the Undersea Naval Museum in Keyport.

There are many options if you are adventurous. Parasailing and miles of Mt Bike trails and hiking rails. Or, you may want to stay close by and hike the local trails. It is a short walk to the marina to look at the boats, rent a bicycle, kayak or fishing boat. You can also charter a sail boat. If you want a bit more exercise, we provide two sets of golf clubs, four tennis rackets and 4 pickle ball rackets and balls. Several great courses and courts are close by.

Another option is to stop by the Inn at Port Ludlow next to the marina and have a glass of wine or dinner. There is a bar and a large covered porch overlooking the marina. 35 minutes from our house you can get onto the Olmpic Peninsula bike trail. Ranked in "Top 5 bike trails in the US"!

Amazing views and plenty of space for our family. Loved the views from the house and appreciated the scopes and binoculars for bird and boat watching. Would love to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the deck and beach more.

Great Christmas Rental
Our family of 8 - 6 adults and 2 children had a great stay over the Christmas holiday. We did a lot of cooking at home and the kitchen was well equipped to prepare & serve holiday meals. The owners were quick to respond to questions and very accommodating- allowing an early check-in and late check-out. All in all a 5 star rental!

Had a wonderful time at Port Ludlow! This property has amazing views of the ocean from almost every room in the house. We saw seals, eagles, otters, dolphins and submarines right from the living room. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Loved the view 1
We really enjoyed this house and especially the view from the porch and the sun room. It's ideal for boat and bird watching. We were very pleased with all the trails in Port Ludlow and the Ludlow falls trail. We also explored the WA state parks in the area and Olympic National Park. The house is very well appointed and kitchen has everything I needed. House is as expected from the pictures and comfortable.

Great house, amazing views
This was a great place to stay. No hidden surprises. Everything we needed was there. Wonderful to wake up and watch the sunrise over the water from bed. Hosts were available if we needed but not overbearing. House is in a neighborhood of sorts so there are other houses around but the way things are situated there is tremendous privacy. We never saw anyone else or heard a peep. Walked down to the inn at the resort one evening and had a lovely dinner. Review written from phone hence brevity.

Wow! This location has the most incredible views and gardens! The pictures do not due it justice (as most do not). Saw Orcas right off our private beach. Hummingbirds everywhere. Eagles, owls….i could go on. What a relaxing get-away for our family! Was limited to a five-star rating but the experience was better than that. Bravo!!

About the host

I am a retired legal assistant and my husband is a retired real estate developer and consultant.

Why they chose this property

Our family owned a condo at the resort a short distance away since 1962, about a mile from the home we purchased for retirement. So the area was familiar to us. A friend designed this custom home., we were thrilled when it came on the market and snatched it right up. Living in the Seattle area makes for a quick weekend get-away or a long-term vacation spot. We love it here!

What makes this property unique

The first time we walked into the house we were captivated by the incredible views. We have complete privacy and no need for curtains or blinds to block the view. For those who do not like being woken up by a beautiful sunrise we have installed drapes. Bald Eagles nest in trees close by the house so they are constantly flying overhead or fishing in the water below. Deer wander through the yard daily and there is abundant bird life.Take the trail behind our house down to the beach and enjoy over a mile of beach combing (at lower tides). You can also take our 3 kayaks (summer only) for some excercise.
