Nice quiet place to stay. Rocky beach in front of unit, but sandy beach is a short walk away. Three sets of stairs in condo to loft bedroom at top. Very warm up there!Overall, enjoyable place to relax for a few days.

Wonderful place to relax

This is definitely our Happy Place at the Beach! It is so peaceful, impeccably clean, and extraordinarily comfortable. The Westin Heavenly beds always ensure quality sleep, the living room furniture is soft and in great shape, the bathrooms well-stocked and sparkling, and the laundry room makes the stay even easier. Also, the Wi-Fi was always strong, which is not often the case at vacation rentals. We loved it, thank you for making such a lovely place available.

Charming and quiet way to enjoy Port Ludlow

We loved our time here. The house is updated with great appliances and furniture. Location is utterly charming- you can sit on the back porch and watch the boats sail by, or take a short walk down to the marina to see the boats up close. Very quiet neighborhood, and we slept like babies even with the windows open for fresh air. Bring your binoculars for boat watching!

Beautiful home, with an amazing view of the Bay! We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and watching the boats go by. We had fun walking on the beach too. We enjoyed the proximity to the marina to rent kayaks, and had a wonderful dinner at The Fireside. Definitely a quiet town, close to Port Townsend where we caught a whale watching tour during one day of our stay, then dined at Molcajete - great food and service there as well. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Well maintained and clean. The area skews older so it was quiet. The only walkable food was the Inn next door but the food there is really good and the service is, as well. We rented a boat at the marina and hiked the trails. It was really fun. It’s close to Port Townsend and other towns so there is lots to explore.

Listed as having 2 Kings, but only had one King and 2 queens. 3rd floor loft had no access to a bathroom without having to enter other guest rooms so had to go down 3 flights if you got up in the night and didn’t want to disturb the others. Comfortable seating for 4 guests but not enough seating for six unless you want to sit at the dining table or bar stool. Luckily we didn’t spend a lot of time here as we were visiting family that lives 5 minutes down the road. I definitely would not recommend this place if you have more than 4 adults

Summer Getaway!

We came from Alberta, Canada. Group of five. This home was wonderful. Very cozy and in a very nice, quiet area. The neighbours were very friendly. The beach out by the marina was nice and sandy, which we loved. Went for supper the first night in Port Hadlock at the Farm & Sea Grill and their Clam Chowder is absolutely fantastic. Would definitely come back!

Lovely comfortable condo

The condo was very clean, well stocked kitchen and very comfortable. It has a beautiful view of the water. Loved sitting on the back porch in the morning enjoying a cup of coffee. The only disappointment was the TV offered only streaming services. We did not have any cable services which we regularly watch. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

Peaceful waterside home

The property was very comfortable and clean with a well equipped kitchen. As we came in June, it was very relaxing to go to sleep with the windows open and the water lapping at the shore and the occasional boat puttering by. While the neighborhood is exceptionally quiet, I would suggest earplugs if you are a light sleeper as there were a handful of boats that head out at dawn or shortly after. We enjoyed both the front and back porches but the views from the back were really enjoyable. We were sorry we didn’t bring binoculars to watch the birds and boats. Don’t miss the beach walk; I suggest walking behind the hotel, to the point and then down to the beach when the tide is out. The community is small with only two restaurants, gas, bank and a convenience store so make sure you come prepared. The location was great for our trips to Bremerton, to see friends in Port Orchard, and to eat oysters on the Hood Canal. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Trip to Hood Canal

My family and I had a wonderful stay! The home is beautiful and had everything we needed. We were able to enjoy an incredible view of hood canal and Mt Baker off the back patio. We rented kayaks and even saw a eagle and a harbor seal! I will be recommending this location to friends and would love to stay again.

Perfect mid winter getaway

We were traveling with three generation and each of us found something amazing about this property. The house is well stocked with books, puzzles, legos and board game. The master bedroom has a rocking chair. The master bathroom came with jetted tub and view of the puget sound. The bathbombs added that tinge of luxury. The kitchen has an impressive number of spice, pots and pans. This property sits close to the inn at port ludlow. If you are planning to eat out at the restaurant, make sure you get your reservations early. On clear day the sunsets were gorgeous and we kinda got spoiled about drinking our coffee in the mornings hearing the wave crash, sitting on the red Adirondack chairs. You will have a petite size beach to yourself and you are expected to stay only to the area directly in front of the house. Our kids had fun making sand castles. Although we did see neighbors walking across the strait of the beach. During our visit apart from port ludlow, we discovered the historical town of port Townsend , fort warden and poulsbo.

Wedding/50th birthday celebration

We came up for a wedding in Port Ludlow and a belated 50th birthday celebration. This property is a show stopper and I cannot say enough great things about it. The views, the bedrooms being far apart for privacy, the quality of everything. This is not your typical VRBO rental, it shows that someone really loves this property. Pottery Barn furniture isn't usually found in most of these places. Everything you need kitchen wise is here too. We loved every second of staying here. So much so that we went home and bought the identical Adirondack chairs we fell in love with there. Now if only ours came with that view!

A 10+ experience!

The Happy Place is the perfect home away from home. The house is tastefully outfitted with all of the essentials and the kitchen is a cook’s delight! Enjoy tranquil views of the boats sailing on Admiralty Inlet and listen to the peaceful sounds of the waves gently lapping the shore.
