About this property

PORTHOLE: Private, Peaceful with a locked patio for relaxing and bikes.

Sorry about this, but the "SMALL PRINT" needs to come first"

PLEASE NOTE: There are NO provisions for cooking. Keurig, hot water pot, microwave - that's all. Occupants are limited to two total. Undeclared additional guests are charged at $100 per per guest per night including children of any age or any type of animal - charged through VRBO as an "additional guest", due immediately.

There is one security camera focused on the interior portion of the outside entrance door in order to ensure security integrity of the apartment.

Use of the general property is limited to the Porthole's dedicated outside patio and does not include the rest of the grounds. The Park in front of our house offers a convenient place to smoke if needed. (Smoking is not allowed in the apartment or the attached patio area. The property is not 420 friendly). This is a basement apartment. The center floor is occupied by the owners and their Bordoodle Pup. They endeavor to be quiet when the Porthole is in use.... However, you will, unavoidably, hear footsteps and limited sound and and occasionally barking from "Winnie". (If this is a concern for you, you should not rent this apartment.)

There is a construction project in the neighborhood extending through Spring of 2026. During this time, parking will occasionally be more of a challenge.

NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF
the apartment is the best three- room "motel suite" in the county - (minus the motel..... we checked). You will love the privacy with the outside covered patio. It's perfect for storing your bicycles. PORTHOLE is great hideaway for a good nights sleep in the King sized bed. Explore the wonders of Port Angeles and the Olympic National Park. The apartment is a short walk to downtown, the Olympic Discovery Trail, two markets, a Starbucks, the Coho Ferry and the Field Performing Arts Center. Your hosts, Amy and Brent, are eager to make sure your stay is the very best. COME AND SEE.

For larger groups (up to 10) check out our other two units on our property; OAK ALLEY - vrbo.com/3625064, and Chez ZigZag - vrbo.com/375934. Both are listed through VRBO and can be reserved separately, Groups reserving all three have access to the rest of the property (not including your hosts living area)

Clean and comfortable little apartment

The Porthole had everything I needed for. 4 night stay - a comfortable clean bed, lovely little bathroom, and a little kitchenette for morning coffee. Location was ideal (just walk down the zigzag ramp for access to downtown), and parking and entry/exit was easy and private. I was even able to work on my laptop outside on the deck in complete privacy with my coffee in the mornings!Lovely stay! Would do it again!

What a perfect rental for our first time to Port Angeles! Very walkable to restaurants and the ferries. The space was perfect for 2 people. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of fluffy towels. We especially loved the welcome book that was very informative with local suggestions. We had such a wonderful time and hope to come back!

This space was the perfect spot for my friend and I as we were exploring the area! Super close to downtown, it was a very quick and easy walk down the stairs from the home to get to where we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Amy or Brent Powell

Host profile image
Brent and Amy are both active Realtors with BROKERSGROUP Realty in Sequim. Both are retired Registered Dental Hygienists - among a few other professions. They love e-biking around the Olympic Peninsula and sharing their three vacation rentals with all the lovely guests, both local and from around the world.

Why they chose this property

The location is hard to beat. It is smackdab center in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. It is a great retreat from a busy day of soaking in the national beauty of Port Angeles, the Strait of Juan De Fuca, Olympic National Park, and the beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches. The apartment is centrally located with only a short stroll to downtown, the waterfront, and the North Olympic Discovery trail. The main house sits on the bluff overlooking downtown and the Port Angeles Harbor. Immediately, from the front yard (the one facing the water), is a small park for soaking in the scenery and accessing Port Angeles quirky "Zig Zag Walkway" connecting with Downtown.

What makes this property unique

Go ahead, compare THROUGH THE PORTHOLE with the best motel room in Port Angeles. There's a good chance it will beat them, since most motel two room suites in P.A. go for well over $450 a night (peak season). PORTHOLE is a bargain at only a portion of that. Come and see.
