About this property
Relaxing place to gather with friends and family in Uptown Port Townsend, ~WA~
Our daughter has always called this 'The Ferry Boat House' because you can watch the ferry boats as they move in and out of the port. This house is a wonderful blend of 1880’s Victorian charm and relaxing beach house comfort.
Fully furnished three-bedroom, one and a half bath home with an incredible view of the Bay and mountains. This house is very conveniently located one block from the fountain staircase and is less than two miles from Fort Worden. The main floor bedroom has a queen-size bed and one the second floor bedrooms has a queen while the third room has a full bed.
The living space is equipped with a 55”TV, VCR and DVD player plus plenty of room to stretch out and read a good book. There is a formal dining room with a large table plus the kitchen has a table and additional seating. There is a large eating bar with visibility to the smart tv hanging in the kitchen. Off the kitchen is a large deck perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view.
This is a quiet neighborhood where you can park your car for the duration of your stay and walk almost anywhere you want to visit.
Pets must be approved prior to stay.

About the host
Hosted by Teri and Bill Spelbring
We fell in love with Port Townsend after we spontaneously took a ferry over from Whidbey Island and have been hooked ever since. We found the house while antiquing and made arrangements to buy it shortly before our family expanded. Our children have grown up wandering through town and on the nearby beaches and we hope to retire there in the next few years.
Why they chose this property
The view of the water!!!!! We sit in the kitchen, dining room or living room and can watch the water. The upstairs bedroom and bath also have great views.Port Townsend is an incredible town with great people and wonderful amenities.
What makes this property unique
We love this house and location because there is the small town feeling with amazing amenities. We have a bakery, spa and community center all within one block of the house. Two blocks away there is a wonderful grocery store with a deli inside. There are also numerous restaurants within blocks of the house yet it's still in a small neighborhood where everyone watches out for each other.
