There is a large covered deck with skylights, a couch, table and chairs and a barbeque for your outdoor cooking.
The large private yard features a terrific view of the water as you walk around the well maintained gardens, fruit trees and fire pits. Sit under an umbrella and listen to the water fountain while enjoying watching fish in the Koi pond.
The yard is also plenty big enough for playing outdoor games like badminton, croquet or soccer.
Take a walk down the private stairs to sit at the landing or lay in the hammock under the secluded trees and listen the waves coming ashore. Then take the next few steps to the boardwalk to sit and read at the waters edge while listening to wildlife such as sea otter, herons, sea lions and the wonderful call of the eagles. If you enjoy fresh seafood, gather some oysters to enjoy with a meal.
This beautifully decorated home sits on .61 acres with a view of Gamble Bay. Travel time from the home to either The Olympic National Park, Sequim or Port Townsend is 45 minutes.

A great place to stay with 1-1/2 traveling time to to the FIFA /Kracken rink.
Being on the waterfront we do often get onshore wind flow that keeps our property considerably cooler during those perhaps too hot summer days.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful property. Lots of room for everyone, with a nice outdoor area for visiting. Great firepit! Lots of stairs to get down to the small beach area, but it’s all well kept and sturdy. The owner was very responsive and took great care of us.
We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The home was incredibly comfortable from the moment we walked in—truly a “home away from home.” Everything was spotless, thoughtfully prepared, and clearly well cared for. The cleanliness made it easy to relax and enjoy our time.The views were absolutely stunning, whether we were having coffee in the morning or winding down in the evening. It felt like our own private escape. The combination of comfort, cleanliness, and scenery made this stay unforgettable.We highly recommend this property and would happily return on our next trip!
The property is a slice of paradise & an amazing location for a family group. Theres lots to see & explore around the property, especially the oyster beds when the tide is out. Everyone, from age 8 - 73, had a fantastic time
Beautiful property and house with lots of room to spread out. We were a multigenerational family and loved the blooming garden, dreamy views, and well stocked kitchen. We hope to visit again!
Our family enjoyed our stay here and especially loved the outdoor space with beautiful gardens, access to the water and building a fire at night. Terry was so nice!
Check-in super easy. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed to our stay. The windows at the sink looking out to the garden like yard and then the water was dream like. Our time here was simply magical. It was exactly what was needed to get back to our quiet peace and connect with nature.
The stay was perfect with a peaceful and beautiful outdoor surrounding. We had a great experience and the overall the location was very convenient to the ferry station along and the picturesque town of Port Gamble. Very spacious indoor and outdoor space with great accommodations.
It was a nice two night stay! Our host Terry was very friendly and very concerned that we feel comfortable in his cosy home! The garden invites to sit down and just relax with a glas of tea or wine. Terry has a love for antique furniture, because His house is wounderful equipped with it!
We were very impressed with the home inside and the grounds outside. The view of the water was beautiful also. Our host and hostess were both friendly and very accommodating to our needs. We loved the evening of music that they provided for our family. I will recommend this place to everyone and I hope that I will be able to go back there someday.
So, the property is absolutely lovely. It has wonderful charm in every room. The owner is a furniture restorer, so there are wonderful pieces everywhere. The view from the home and the back yard is a fabulous overlook on the Puget Sound. It is filled with a splendidly maintained garden and has an active vegetable garden. Inside is a color explosion on every wall and is incredibly spacious. The property is centrally located with beaches in reach in as little as 10 minutes by car. There is also a surprising amount to do. Tons of museums and activities, nature walks etc are all quite close to the property. The only thing that was a bit of a drawback is the water is well water which has a bit of a Sulphur smell. Don't let it be a big drawback because this place is a little slice of heaven. During our stay, one of the neighbors shot off a 45 minute long fireworks display that we enjoyed while having dinner on the deck. Super secluded and relaxing while being accessible to amenities and the sheer amount of things that have been installed for use in the home were incredible. Would love to go again with the kids.

Hello Brandon, I thank you so much for your very kind review. It is so gratifying to know that you all had such a wonderful time staying in my home.
Also, thank you for the water filter suggestion. I did in fact just have a water filer unit arrive that I will be installing for the kitchen sink.
It would be great to have you back again with your children !
Till then ... happy days.

Pros: Very spacious and interesting place with a homey feel. The kitchen had all of the utensils etc. we needed. The master bedroom was massive with beautiful furniture. The view from the back yard is lovely with a lovely somewhat obstructed panoramic view of Gamble Bay and the land across it. The patio had comfortable seating under cover and a water feature next to the deck. The yard and garden are stunning, chock full of interesting and lovely plants. There is also a water feature in the front that can be heard from one of the bedrooms to the delight of one guest. The house is located behind a furniture repair shop off of a highway but the gold mailbox with two reflecting triangles made is easier to find when coming back from town. You cannot hear the highway from inside of the house. The host, Terry, runs the furniture repair shop and was super friendly and helpful. He allowed us to pick beans in the vegetable garden, gave us a vase of flowers, told us of local walking opportunities and played a song he and his partner had written. He also offered to send a hat to one of the guests who had left it.
Cons (for us): There was an error on the website/app describing the house as a 4 bedroom. We were counting on 4 bedrooms but made due with the couches. This error has been corrected. If you are looking for a 3 bedroom then this is a lovely property to rent.

We loved our stay at this lovely home. The house had everything we wanted, especially the wood-burning fireplace, well stocked with wood and kindling. It was very clean and well-kept. The covered patio was nice.
The deck and gardens are gorgeous and the owners are clearly great gardeners! It was a beautiful location and close to family and friends in Kingston and Poulsbo. Hosts were very gracious, and when we crossed paths they asked if we needed anything. They are right next door but property was very private. It's great that they installed a water filter in the kitchen sink. I would say that was the only complaint was showering in the sulfer smelling water so only recommendation would be a water filter system. Everything else was perfect and pictures accurately reflect the property, bedrooms and kitchen areas.
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here. House is large and open and was clean, beautiful view and nice deck/patio area to relax and enjoy the ocean air and watch the hummingbirds at the flowers. Very relaxing.
I enjoyed waking to the view of the bay and gardens surrounding the house. Private. close to small and interesting towns.
