This wonderful Washington State home is located on Marrowstone Island. Right on the Olympic Peninsula, you'll have plenty of access to lovely trails, activities, and wineries in the area.

Grab a sketchpad, because this home's retro furniture, lovely hardwood floors, and gorgeous views from every window in the home will inspire you to create great works of art.

Enjoy the lovely open floor plan in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. You'll want to relax on the living room furniture, playing the grand piano or various board games. There's also a TV with a Blu-ray player and even a DVD library so you don't have to worry about bringing too much from home.

Chefs are sure to fall in love with the kitchen! Pots and pans hanging from the ceiling add a gourmet touch, while all of the sparkling modern appliances and counter space will make cooking easy. Caffeine lovers should definitely take note of the French press, coffeemaker, and espresso machine.

Sleeping up to six guests (four adults), this home has three spacious bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, one with a queen-size bed, and one with two twin-size beds for the kids. The room with the queen-size bed is detached from the home in its own guest suite for extra privacy. A sofabed is also available in the living room.

Three full tiled bathrooms are great for everyone! WiFi access, a private washer/dryer are available for your convenience. Don't leave the dog at home - you can even bring up to two furry friends with you.

You only need to walk out on your very own wrap-around deck for some of the most breathtaking views you've ever seen. Write in your journal on the patio furniture outside or grill some hot dogs on the gas grill. You can even head down your own private staircase to the beach!

Just 50 miles from the bustling city of Seattle and 17 miles from Port Townsend, you will have plenty of access to lots of delicious restaurants, cute shops, and inspiring daytrips.

Little remote if you are heading to the rain forest or other locations on the Olympic Peninsula, but nice house and awesome location on the water. Super peaceful. Really enjoyed the eclectic décor and doing research on the prior owner/artist. You can tell it was owned by an artistic personality. If you want a spacious home with amazing views, this is for you.

Coastal hideaway
This property popped up as Port townsend accommodation with our google search. We were a bit surprised at how far it was, but it was such a treat! Otters having breakfast, sea lions, seals, hummingbirds, and warm sunny days. The ships passing through were also a big excitement for our kids. We really didn’t want to leave, and hope to come back! The kitchen is also very well-equipped and the whole place had a great feel. We didn’t discover the separate suite until our last day, but would to have needed anyway. The stairs are pretty rustic and we had to keep stressing to our kids to walk slowly and hold the railings.

Awesome beach view and access but not comfy or very clean
The access to the beach is awesome. Beware if you have small children/pets that there is a section of stairs with a platform that has no wall/railing that could be fallen off of and the stairs crank up at the bottom, so don't let little ones/pets rush ahead without you. The views from the house are spectacular. So much to see out the window/from the deck. The house was in desperate need of a deep clean and the sheets were not clean on the bed- we had to strip them, wash them, and put different sheets on. There was dust/ dead bugs on windowsills and lots of cobwebs. There was also a spider web and we saw multiple spiders inside the house. The furniture is mid-century modern and very uncomfortable. The "DVD library" was about 5 DVDs and three of them were musical performances. Dances with Wolves was the only title we recognized. There was no foosball table as stated in the listing.

Nice home, great location!
The home is a nice place that is very private and has a fantastic view. The living room and master bedroom both have large picture windows with amazing views of puget sound and Whidbey island. There is a nice deck overlooking the sound, with a stairway that accesses the private beach. There is a caretaker that lives on the property, but she’s very friendly and she doesn’t bother anyone. The house is decorated with mid century modern furniture, which looks cool but is not very comfortable, the kitchen is very functional, and well stocked with pans, dishes, and utensils. We cooked several meals and found the kitchen to be very nice. There is a grand piano in the living room, which is great if you play, but otherwise it takes up too much space, space that could be used for more furniture. The nearest store is 15-20 minutes away. Internet is good. There is a tv with Netflix. There are a couple board games, but I’d bring your own. If you have small kids, watch the around the deck and stairs, they aren’t very safe. Just a few complaints- the house is COLD when you check in. There are electric heaters, but they take forever to heat. There is a working wood stove, and the house is stocked with some wood, but I suggest bringing kindling or duraflame logs. Also; the master bathroom has no blinds on the large picture windows which means that unless you don’t mind showing the neighbors your bits and bobs, you’ll have to use the downstairs bathroom. We had a circuit breaker trip whilst there and had to call VRBO to find it (behind a picture in the small bedroom) Overall it was a good stay, and I would definitely stay there again. More so if they upgrade to more comfortable furniture.

Nice place, poor property management
This place is quite lovely, we absolutely loved the house decor and the incredible views. The main floor has a really great layout that is open yet provides enough space for everyone to find their own quiet corner. The neighborhood is quiet and away from noise - exactly what we wanted! Plus, the beach is easily accessible and you can walk for miles. One strange thing about the house is that the shower head in the master bath is outside the glass enclosure, which has the effect of spraying water all over the bathroom while you shower. Another item of note (it wasn't a problem for us at all) is that the master bedroom isn't really a bedroom - there's no door to the downstairs that can be closed. The biggest challenge we had with our stay wasn't with the property itself, but rather with the management company. Our stay was in the middle of January and the place was ice cold (51 degrees) when we arrived. We started up the heaters, which work well, but took overnight to warm up. There is a fireplace that would have speeded things up, but the management company did not leave us any kindling. We called the local number to ask for some (and also inquire about where to put the garbage - there were no instructions on that and no bins outside) and got a voicemail that told us to call a 24-hour 1-800 number. After 40 minutes on hold with the 1-800 number, we gave up. I shudder to think what would happen if we had encountered a true emergency. In all, we recommend this place and may stay here again, despite the customer service limitations.

Lovely secluded home. The views are stunning.
This is a lovely secluded area. The house is beautiful and very clean. The house has everything you need. It is close to town if you want to go. Our one suggestion for the owners is to have an information booklet about where things are. We got in when it was dark. The house is primarily heated by a wood pot-bellied stove, which is perfect for heating this home. The problem is there was one match, no newspaper, and two pieces of wood. We had no instructions about where to find the wood pile. The second day we finally found some instructions taped to the wall behind the washer. Other than that I would stay there again in a minute.

Away from it all
This is a lovely property in an amazing setting. We were there in 25-degree weather and snow-covered streets so getting out and about was not much of an option. Luckily, the property is very comfortable and the views are stunning from the huge front windows. We just hunkered down and enjoyed watching the ships pass. It is furnished with beautiful mid century modern furniture and amazing art and sculptures on every wall. I especially like the pieces in the bedroom upstairs. Really, a nice place to stay. I only gave 3 stars for the communication because there really wasn't anyway to contact the property owner. We had an issue with a space heater and a flipped fuse - luckily, we were able to find the circuit box on our own as there was no way to contact the property manager outside of emailing/calling Vacasa.

Brrr!
A wonderful spot for a family get-away but not really ideal in extremely cold temps (not the owner's fault, of course). Yes, there is a wood stove to supplement the electric wall and plug-in heaters, but using the wall heat made for a constant loudness that is maddening (especially in the separate unit from the main house). Fabulous natural lighting and view; well-stocked kitchen and woodpile. The house was clean and lovely and a handsome and friendly caretaker dog lives nearby.

Water views are incredible. We saw a pod of orcas one day, wish the fog hadn't hampered our views or I'm sure we would have seen them again. Very dog friendly property and lots of beachcombing opportunities. Wifi is spotty so I wouldn't recommend if you had to work while on vacation. Lots of wildlife at Fort Flagler too, deer, raccoon. Great for hiking, lots to explore.

This is the second time we've stayed here and the second time we've loved it. MASSIVE home with a guest suite we never even went into. Stunning views of the Sound, otters and birth galore off the beach, direct water access, and it's right on the shipping lane so lots of passing ships (including a nuclear submarine!) for the kids to look at. Fully (and I do mean FULLY) stocked kitchen was great for cooking. Looking forward to our third visit.

Amazing views!
Wonderful break from being stuck in the city during the last year of pandemic - very private, and absolutely beautiful, panoramic views. The kitchen was very spacious and we enjoyed a few home cooked dinners during our stay. Also loved the wood stove during our first couple stormy nights (very cozy!) The beach was extremely private and so convenient that we hardly left the property during our time here, so much fun to beach-comb and run along the waves with our dog. I think we saw maybe 4 other people the whole time we were here! A couple suggestions: Please have a prominent warning present about the stairs to the beach - the last leg down is a crank stair, and is cranked up by default. Our dog went ahead of us and walked out onto the suspended stairway and almost fell - very scary moment! Would be nice to have a sign warning about this at the top of the stairs, as a heads up to all dog-owners (or those with kids!) to keep a careful watch on the descent down. The TV/Netflix was not working for us, it appeared to be disconnected or missing an HDMI cable. Luckily we didn't visit for the purpose of watching TV :) but worth noting. The listing also states that there is foosball table, but we did not see one anywhere. Perhaps we missed it - and not a major gripe at all - but as foosball enthusiasts we were a little disappointed. Otherwise - truly wonderful trip! We left feeling so recharged, and would definitely come back. Very much recommend to anyone looking for some quality beach time!
