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, across the street from a set of steps that lead to the beach (please note that the steps are on a pulley/wrench system and they need to be lowered and raised). You'll be 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 lovely. Fully equipped kitchen. Clean, spacious, gorgeous peaceful views. Comfortable beds and furniture we we felt right at home. Providing soaps, shampoos and thank you gifts was a really nice touch. Definitely worthy of repeat stays.

Last Girl Scout get away

The house was a great location for what we wanted to do, spend time in Port Townsend and hang out together. The rooms upstairs were great for all the girls to hang out together before they go their separate ways. House had everything we needed and was clean upon arrival.

Beautiful View

This house was perfect for us and our visiting family from North Dakota. The view is spectacular. The house is big and had enough space for all. The house is a little outdated but was very clean. Yard is huge. There was a pickleball/basketball court that the family loved.

Hood Canal Panorama

The location was lovely. Amazing views, very spacious. About a 15-20 minute drive to Port Townsend, which offers many wonderful restaurants and shops. Only issue was the lack of internet and TV reception. Hosts might want to consider a satellite dish to remedy that problem.

Spacious home with beautiful view

This was a comfortable stay for 9. All three kids in one room let the rest of the families spread out into the additional beds/sleeping areas. Wireless didn’t work, but we expected it to be spotty, so it wasn’t a deal breaker. Would definitely rent again!
