About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sanctuary by the Sea

Just a few minutes outside of Sequim, this is the place to come if you’re seeking peace and tranquility, aided by the restorative power of nature. Decompress, charge your batteries, yet still be close enough to explore all the Olympic Peninsula has to offer. Recently renovated, this sanctuary by the sea is where your adventure begins.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, we’re right next to Panorama Vista County Park, where a short path leads to a set of wooden stairs descending to a secluded beach. Explore in either direction and often feel like you have the place to yourself. From the bluff (or the beach) you can see the outline of the San Juan Islands and Vancouver Island (B.C.) in the distance. You have the Olympic mountains to your left and Protection Island to your right, with an occasional view of snow-covered Mt. Baker beyond that on a clear day.

Whether you’re into beachcombing, mountain biking, hiking, shopping, dining, or simply finding a spot where you can relax and distance yourself from deadlines and to-do lists, we’ve got you covered. Prefer to BBQ on a deck looking over the water, read a good book on a bench in your own back yard, work away from home, or binge-watch your favorite show? No problem. Want a close encounter with a bald eagle, wandering deer or other wildlife? You’re likely to find that as well. In fact, you’ll probably feel like a visitor in their back yard.

For mountain bikers, we have a world-class myriad of rugged backcountry trials known as the Miller Peninsula. People come from all over to discover its beauty – old growth forest, prairie meadows, and water views – yet you’ll have access about a half mile from where you’re staying. Prefer a relatively flat, manicured, paved trail, equally beautiful and suitable for road bikes as well? Hop on the Discovery Trail, about 4 miles away, and head west towards Sequim, through Sequim Bay State Park and Carrie Blake Park, among other notable sites. Or head east towards Diamond Point and Discovery Bay. You could even play a free round of frisbee golf (18 holes) through a beautiful forest on a nearby course.

Seven Cedars, a casino just 5 miles away, can offer a fun night out as well, with live shows, fine dining and other activities. You can rent an e-bike or book a whale watching tour from there as well. The Puget Sound Express leaves from the beautiful harbor of Port Townsend, which offers many other local attractions as well, such as an annual wooden boat festival.

Beyond the attractions accessible from your Vrbo location, Sequim is only about a 15-minute drive away. Whether you’re here for the Lavender Festival, or just want to immerse yourself in its natural beauty and ambiance, you won’t find a more enchanting small-town slice of rural Americana anywhere in the country.

Port Angeles, just over a half hour away, offers a 90 minute ferry ride to cosmopolitan Victoria (Vancouver Island, British Columbia), which has much to see within walking distance, though you can take your car as well if you prefer, and return the same day (or stay the night). Port Angeles is also the gateway to OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK, a World Heritage site renowned for its diversity of natural beauty and pristine places to explore. From Hurricane Ridge to Lake Crescent to the Hoh Rain Forest, and countless other locations, you can see it all: Pacific wilderness coastline, alpine peaks covered with exotic wildflowers or snow, depending on the time of year, temperate rainforests, glacial lakes, winding rivers . . . there’s something for every traveler.

Your home away from home will have everything you need. A large bedroom, a small bedroom, two bathrooms, as well as a kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry facility and a deck with outdoor seating. Three large smart TVs, Internet access, DirecTV (with HBO), books, movies, games, a computer desk (for those who want to set up a work area with their own laptops), and a private, fully fenced-in back yard.

Owner on premises next door and available upon request. You can expect every effort to be made to maintain your guest quarters as clean, tidy and sanitized as possible.

Guests receive a 15% discount for a stay of a week or longer, and 20% for a month (28 days) or longer.
Please see rental agreement before finalizing your booking. :-)

Tranquil stay by the sea
Jon and Amanda have a beautiful property with a gorgeous view of the sea. Their garden is peaceful and tranquil which was exactly what we wanted for our stay. Jon made the check-in process super easy and it was a pleasure talking to him about the local attractions. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in paradise.

Excellent in every aspect
Our stay at Jon's house was absolutely perfect and very pleasant in every way. The house combines new technology (Wi-Fi, smart TVs in every room, motorized desk, lots of USB outlets and a BT speaker) and a pleasant rustic decor. The two houses, the rental and the owner's, are two separate houses next to each other and joined by a common breezeway. You are completely isolated in terms of view and noise (which there wasn't any) both in the house and on the deck. The backyard is separated by the fence, and what you see on the pictures is yours to use, with lovely benches and a deck to enjoy the view and fresh ocean air. The host, Jon (short for Jonathan), has accommodated our every need and was super nice to us. He offered to meet us in person and gave us a tour of the house, which I recommend. He also provided all kinds of useful information for places to visit. Location-wise, the house sits on top of a stone cliff, just north of Sequim, with a beautiful view of the ocean, light house, San Juan islands and Victoria, BC. There is no access to the beach from the property but there is a public park with steps down to the shore just five minutes of walking away. During low tide you can walk all the way to the spit on the left. If you like hiking, there is also a nice park with trails nearby. One last thing: VRBO, unlike its competition, doesn't require ID verification. For this reason, when asked to provide a photo ID, I found this to be a reasonable request.

Sequim Bay and Juan de Fuca Strait Views
The views were amazing, the host was super friendly and knowledgeable, and the place was very clean and comfortable. The apartment had everything we needed and more, and Jon provided us with a detailed list of sightseeing recommendations. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Truly, a sanctuary by the sea
As gracious hosts, Jonathan and his wife offer you the opportunity to experience a dream home in a serene setting. Their love and attention to the decor of their home and landscaping are top notch. Every comfort was supplied, both physically and with attentive communication for easing a traveler's experience. Jonathan was a wealth of information on what to see and where to dine. I have rented many homes over the decades. This one rates 10 out of 10, both as a true sanctuary for the soul, or as a perfect hub for exploring. Enjoy the journey! Marla and Bob

Beautiful Property! Very Clean, Comfy Bed!
The Property has amazing view, gorgeous yard! We were visiting Olympic National Park so we didn't get to stay at the house very much as we were out all day. Would have liked more time to enjoy. The owner was very helpful with information. Thank you so much for sharing your home! Kindest Regards, The Weeks Family
