Gorgeously located on the shores of Squamish Harbor in Port Ludlow, this water-view home exudes calm, relaxation, and serene natural beauty in every season. It's a wonderful spot to spend the summer collecting seashells on the beach across the street and winter holidays curled up under a blanket with a view of Puget Sound. The interior living space is full of natural light, with windows throughout the home that frame views of either the ocean or the surrounding evergreen canopy. Come home from a morning on the beach, a kayaking excursion, pickle ball court, or an exploration of the Olympic Peninsula to toss the day's clothes in the private washer/dryer and both prepare and eat dinner with an incredible view. Bring your coffee and dessert outside to the deck, and settle in for a good show or a movie in either the loft or the downstairs den.

This water-view home is located on Squamish Harbor in the peaceful community of Port Ludlow, where you'll be just two miles down the road from Shine Tidelands State Park, a great place for fishing, harvesting shellfish, birding, kayaking, and walking the beach. The small town of Port Ludlow is six miles north, where you'll find the marina, the Port Ludlow Golf Club, and the Village Market for your convenience. And if you're looking to explore this lovely part of the Olympic Peninsula even further, you'll find the charming Victorian town of Port Townsend only 22 miles north.

    This home was perfect for our family to gather and relax in! Lots of spaces to spread out in and to come together in. The beds are very comfortable; I meant to look to see the brand of memory foam (?) mattresses they have but put it off until it was too late. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, and pots & pans. The internet was better than advertised and we didn't have any problem connecting several devices and streaming videos all at the same time. I suspect the water is from a well as it had a slight sulfur smell to it (as others have complained about) but we got used to it and didn't notice it after the first day. The water heater is small though, and I never got a good shower - mostly because I took mine after doing dishes or after my SO had taken theirs. The showers came with single-use sized bottles of Dove shampoo, conditioner, and body soap bars, what a nice surprise. There is a TON of parking, though the drive way might get dicey if there was any ice on the ground. Across the street is the water and your access to it. It is a seep set of wooden stairs down to a landing/deck and then another set of stairs down to the beach - unfortunately though, these last steps ended about 2 feet above the ground and there was a lot of tree trunks and other tree debris there making getting down trickier than we though worth it. The grounds around the home are nicely landscaped with several apple (?) trees. There is also a pickleball (?) / small basketball

    The pictures did not do this place justice. It's bigger and more beautiful than we expected! The game room, basketball court and open second story made this the perfect getaway to celebrate my niece's birthday with her cousins. We enjoyed it immensely and they can't wait to go back.

    The place is a fantastic place to relax and spend some time enjoying nature, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It's extremely spacious but it still feels cozy and warm. Food delivery in the area takes longer, if you're used to a more city cwntric environment but there's plenty of places close by for you to drive to, so it's not a big issue. There are also lots of interesting places nearby you can go exploring.This was definitely one of the most relaxing stays I've had in quite a while! 10 out of 10!

    The host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating for last minute, unexpected requests. They were also very organized, proactive about sending check-in and check-out information ahead of time, and were a major reason as to why the stay was hassle-free. The home is beautiful and spacious; everyone had their own room and bed and the beds were comfortable and clean. The entire house was clean and tidy. The home had stunning views and was near a beach which was a fun plus! This stay had incredible value for money and would gladly stay again if we're ever in the area. Highly recommend this home to others!

    Nice house, gorgeous view. Had some frustration about amenities, as the fireplace was not working through our visit, and the listing still indicated beach access at the time, even though the stairs end on a sudden drop instead of hitting the beach. Support was responsive to feedback, which was appreciated.

    This home was exactly what my friends and I needed for our gathering. There was enough space for all of us. Walking through the door, it felt like stepping into the 90s because of the decor. But the home was very cozy. The walls were thick that noise did not penetrate which was a plus since we had a toddler with us who was able to nap. The location was conveniently close to the main road. We were able to explore the nearby areas. The small dock by the water was a nice spot to relax. Unfortunately it was raining during our stay so we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor amenities much. The only negative is the WiFi connection which was weak so we couldn’t watch a movie or play video games. So be prepared to find alternative ways to enjoy yourselves but we were able to play board games and enjoy each others company. Overall, a great place to stay considering the location and the cost! Worth the stay in my opinion!

    The house needs a bit of attention—it has pretty much everything, but it’s a little scruffy around the edges. Wouldn’t take much to spruce up some of the small maintenance and general wear issues. For example, make sure all the light fixtures have bulbs. Kitchen faucet has something broken. The yard looks depressing—weeds; planters neglected. Bathroom fixtures are tired.Also, we were surprised that none of the reviews mention the traffic noice from being so close to the highway. That said, the house functioned very well for our family. The neighbor—Steve—brought us some amazing fresh-caught crab. The view was stunning, and we loved the little perch across the road down by the beach. Other than the traffic noise (which I understand there is nothing the owner can do about) we had a lovely weekend hanging out on the deck.

    Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. My only suggestion is to replace the plumbing fixtures in the tub/shower combo off of the kitchen and have the drains throughout the home cleaned. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you.

    We are 3 families and stayed 2 nights. The place is very nice and peaceful. There are 4 bedroom and 3 in-suite bathrooms that is incredible convenient to us. The big thing is there is Ev charger in garage and it is level 2 charger which can charge my Model Y in 11KW/H. We love this place and it must be one of my best dream vacation houses and i will recommend to my friends definitely.

    We loved the location, the view, the close access to the launch for our canoe and kayaks, the pickleball courts and basketball hoop, and especially the layout for sleeping arrangements. The beds were comfortable and our group had nine people that all get up and go to bed at different times so the layout created a quiet and peaceful atmosphere for us. The sulfur smell in the water wasn’t ideal, but we knew about that when we rented. WiFi wasn’t great but again, we knew ahead of time and were making memories with family anyway so it wasn’t needed. We brought a zero water filter which helped but we also had to buy ice. The ice maker wasn’t working but we would have purchased the ice anyway due to the sulfur. Overall, we were in love with the place and thankful for the time we had there. We’ll definitely go again if we can arrange it with the family. ♥️

    Positives: The view from the house and porch is beautiful, beds were comfortable, plenty of parking and quality space for kids to run around and play on the grass and on the basketball court. Negatives: Beach access is difficult with missing steps, nearby ramp to beach is on private property and is not to be utilized per owners. Primary issue within home was lack of response/service. Dishwasher was broken, and there was a significant smell in the hot water, both sinks and showers. When I informed Vacasa, I was told that the maintenance team would be notified, but no one came by and I received no further contact. This was a significant issue as we had young children on the trip and they didn't want to take showers because the smell was overwhelming to them.
