Sit back and enjoy the spectacular view above the Strait of Juan de Fuca

This home was amazing! We had a great time watching the cargo and cruise ships come out of the straight. We saw deer, eagles, and sea birds every day. It was fully stocked with everything we needed including binoculars and abundant information about the area. Makeup wipes in the bathroom were a bonus and live flowers and plants were a nice touch. The house was clean and they left us lots of towels. They even provided the soap for the clothes washer. Something to be aware of...The home has large windows across the front and back of the main living areas, so you can look straight through the house. This makes for incredible views during the day, but at night we felt like we were in a fish bowl. The one thing we would have liked is blinds on those windows. The house is a ways from the road with trees and vegetation, but it still made us nervous being in there in the dark and walking from the bedrooms to the kitchen at night knowing you can see straight through the house from the front and back yards. So, just a heads up if that's a concern for you. We loved the location, though. It gives the feeling of secluded nature, yet it is close to independently owned restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and bakeries. It's also very close to a Walmart that has super friendly employees. It's in a prime spot for the area and was a great base for our adventures!

We spent five days touring Olympia. This Home was our base of operations during that time. It is a lovely location and a well kept and maintained home. The kitchen has all that you need for cooking meals, which we did on several occasions. It was such fun to watch all the ships go by and look at them through binoculars or through the telescope. Maurine and Joe are lovely host. We would highly recommend this location.

Great place to unwind. Home owners are very knowledgeable and a great resource to get the most out of your visit.

Maureen and Joe are warm and welcoming hosts, and their home is well equipped with everything you could need. The beds are comfortable, the shower works great, and the view is amazing. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

A very nice, comfortable, well-equipped place to stay with convenient access to stores for stocking with food. Really loved the architecture with its open floor plan and large windows for viewing of ships passing through the Strait. House is located on a large property that provides privacy. Maureen and Joe were very friendly and accommodating and met with us on day of arrival.We were able to use place for access to day hikes around Olympic National Park. Would highly recommend this place and wouldn't hesitate to book again for another visit.

The house was immaculate and there was a wonderful view of the Straight of Juan de Fuca from the kitchen, the living room, and the bedroom, The site was quiet snd relaxing and the owners were very helpful and accommodating. If I could give the place a 6 or 7 In the ratings I would. Probably the best rental I have ever stayed in.

Fabulous location with great hosts. Perfect location to enjoy the Olympic National Park.

This was quite a special experience for us. Maureen and Joe met us at what was once Maureen’s childhood home. The view as we pulled in the driveway convinced us that we had picked the perfect “home away from home” for our trip. And once we visited with the hosts, we realized this was quite wonderful opportunity. The listing was exactly as stated, the views were better than we could have imagined and the home was clean and loaded with everything we needed for our trip-especially the dishwasher and laundry machines! Thank you so much Maureen and Joe for trusting us with your special place on the beautiful Strait of Juan de Fuca. Would love to make it back and visit again!

We had a wonderful stay here, starting with being personally welcomed by our hosts Maureen and Joe. The property was exactly as I anticipated, clean, peaceful and full of mid-century charm. The personal stories Joe & Maureen shared about the history of the home were icing on the cake. We enjoyed the sights & sounds of the Strait, the spacious kitchen and the private setting. We look forward to staying here in the future. Thank you, Maureen & Joe!!

Very clean and great view.

This is not just a rental house, this is a home. It is charming. It is mostly large picture windows yet it is secluded and private. It's a large property with beautiful trees, bushes, flowers, and wildlife. There are gorgeous sunsets and views of the strait, ships passing by, Victoria, mountains, and you can even see Mount Baker from the dining room table. It has all the benefits of home with so many things provided. There are binoculars, all the soaps and detergents needed, home stereo (with USB port), nice flatware and cookware, foil, saran wrap, real-brand Kleenex and TP, nice comfy chairs with ottomans and crocheted afghans, night lights...an endless list of things we appreciated during our stay. It is clean and well-maintained. It has beautiful flowers, not just in pots hanging outside but indoors as well. Maureen and Joe greet you and share their insights and insider knowledge to make the most of your visit.

Absolutely loved everything about this property!

House and property were over the top.We actually reduced our planned itinerary in so we could spend more time enjoying the property.

This property is just so comfortable. We've stayed here 4 times and hope to come back again. The location is perfect. The property is well kept. We think it's a pretty special place. The owners are great people.

Wonderful base for Olympic National Park and more!

Hosts are wonderful and so helpful with tips on traveling in the area. We appreciated the advice, especially about needing to be early for Hoh as well as the time of day for low tide.Highly recommend!

My friend and I planned a hiking trip to Olympic with half our stay in Port Angeles. Maureen & Joe opened their beautiful home to us and we enjoyed every moment…from the beautiful sunsets to the sounds of the ocean to watching the ships pass through the Strait. If you are looking for a location near Olympic Park and also close to downtown Port Angeles but also want quiet and privacy, this is the house to stay at! Maureen & Joe were a fount of information and shared the ‘must do’s’ of the area. I hope to come back again soon!!

This was a wonderful stay. The property itself is a hidden gem in port Angeles, surrounded by forests, with ocean view from living room and dining room. It’s also very convenient to explore Olympic national park from the property.Maureen and Joe were amazing hosts. They came to the property for in-person checked and toured us around the house. Maureen also gave valuable tips on planning travels and exploring nearby regions.Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to this area!

We stayed as a launching point for Olympic National Park and we couldn't have had a better place. The house has lovely architecture, the views of the sea are incredible, and Maureen and Joe were very helpful with their advice about the town and park.

Awesome value on this rental house over looking the strait of Juan de Fuca. Super clean, awesome great room with panoramic views, gas fireplace and comfortable seating. Has to be one of the best values in Port Angeles. Which we stayed longer.
