Best View in Port Angeles: The Bluff House

Very welcoming host, wonderful house with excellent kitchen and of course the view!!

It was a beautiful home on the bluff. We saw a deer every morning and evening in the yard. The family loves using the binoculars to watch the boats in the harbor.

Great views, location and very clean.

The Bluff House exceeded our all of our expectations! The view was..........BEAUTIFUL any time of the day especially sunrise & sunset. Many AM coffees were had out on the deck enjoying the view. Fun to watch cargo ships travel by or spend time in the port. We had more than enough room for the 5 of us (5 adults). Cindy went above and beyond to meet all of our needs. The coffee pot broke, a new one was delivered in no time. She hand delivered her home made banana bread and even shared the recipe with us. Cindy was very responsive to any and all of our questions prior to our arrival. She also shared detailed info on things to do in the area which we found very helpful. The location of The Bluff House worked out well for us, easy access to hiking in the Olympic National Park. We would highly recommend staying at this beautiful spot!

We rented this for a family wedding. The location and view are top notch. Cindy was a delightful host, the house is perfect for a family, especially those with some mobility issues (walker/cane) as it’s one floor. Plenty of room/bathrooms. The kitchen has pretty much ever you could need. We loved staying here!

My husband and I with our two adult children and their spouses had a fabulous time. We would check out the big ships, find their name on Google, and see where they were going, what they were carrying, Etc. The house was equipped with everything we needed, and there was plenty of gathering space to eat, sleep, laugh, and chat. The deer were amazing. Every day we enjoyed them. Some mornings, I would stay in bed and watch them out the window with my coffee. You won’t be disappointed.

The property was wonderful. It was right on the water and a great location on the peninsula. It was fascinating watching the ships go by and the overall view was stunning.The house was clean and comfortable and had no complaints. It was beautiful. I would highly recommend The Bluff House to anyone visiting the peninsula. We did not want to leave and look forward to our next visit there.

Had a great time and the house provided everything a group of senior citizen girlfriends need for a girls' trip. Hostess provided lots of useful info about the area. Recommended!

Cindy was very helpful and her welcome book information is awesome. We loved the house and location. The little tubs on the deck were wonderful at the end of the day with a glass of wine and a beautiful view of the harbor. They kept warm for a long time when we kept the planks on.

Conveniently located. Reservation process was excellent!

A warm greeting by (Cindy) the owner. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and more . Clean warm and very cozy. The stunning view from inside and on the porch was spectacular, we were even saw a pod of Orcas swim into the harbor. . Highly recommend this beautiful house .

We enjoyed our stay in Cindy’s beautiful home! The view is absolutely breathtaking! Everything was clean and organized. Two nights we walked from downtown back to the house. (About a 10-15 min walk). Cindy was very proactive, kind, and friendly! We felt very welcomed! Her place is a gem! The house is in a great location if you want to take day trips to other neighboring towns or into Olympic National park. There is even a ferry that goes to Victoria, BC! (Takes about 1.5 hours).

Well furnished and equipped.

We stayed here with our family of three (2 adults and a 12-year old kid). This was truly a magical house. The views out to the Strait of Juan de Fuca are fantastic. We loved spending time in the living room reading, looking at the bald eagles, and talking. We even saw orcas in the bay outside the house. The house was very comfortable. We hiked all over Olympic and it served as an excellent base especially to Hurricane Ridge, Marymere Falls, and more. We had planned to go out in Port Angeles and to the park more, but found we wanted to spend more time in the home looking at the view in the afternoons and evenings! Also the host is super nice and the guide book was very helpful. One of the best VRBOs we've stayed at.

We spent a blissful week here with our three grown children, using Port Angeles as a base to explore Olympic National Park and the surrounding area. This is without a doubt one of the nicest properties we've ever rented: a beautiful, spacious and comfy house with breathtaking, 270-degree views of the water and an outstanding owner who goes out of her way to make her guests feel comfortable. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water, watching the birds overhead and the boats below, and had our dinners in the same spot, watching a glorious sunset every night. No wonder we didn't want to leave! The three comfy bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, gave our crew plenty of space and privacy. The generous, well-outfitted kitchen and outdoor grill made it easy to prepare outstanding meals at home. Thoughtful touches make this house special: lots of binoculars to observe boats going by, TIVO, hiking poles, a wonderful library of books, sharpened knives, and a beautiful garden, just to give examples. The house is in a quiet spot, well-located, within walking distance to the harbor, shops and restaurants. Cindy was the most accommodating host in the world, sending us suggestions in advance of what to see and do and answering questions all week long to make our experience more enjoyable. She even rushed over first aid supplies when one of us had a minor emergency. We recommend this property highly and hope to return.

We spent 5 gorgeous days here with family, including a child in a wheelchair. The house is bright and lovely, and there is a large deck with a 180-degree view of the spit and the Strait. We had everything we needed, including a big fully-equipped kitchen and an outdoor gas grill. There are one or two small steps to get in, depending on the door you use, and the deck is level with the house. Wheelchair-friendly outdoor excursions include short paved hikes at Hurricane Ridge, the a short hike to Madison Falls on the Elwa, the Spruce Railroad trail at Lake Crescent, and the Moments in Time trail near the Lake Crescent Lodge (some tree roots). The house is also just a few blocks from the Olympic Discovery Trail, which you can get to on a paved trail at the park nearby. I *think,* from looking at in on a prior trip, that the trail at the mouth of the Elwa is largely accessible, but we didn't go there this trip.

The home was very nice. The views of the harbor were spectacular! Location felt very safe and quiet. The location was also very convenient for us as we spent several days exploring Olympic National Forest.

What a great place, and a great base for our forays into Olympic National Park. Also, the owner was great to work with, and made our stay here easy. Hope we get back here someday!

One of the best VRBOs we've ever stayed at.
