We had a wonderful stay at the Bird Nest Cottage! It exceeded our expectations. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and dining in, and the bathroom included a heated seat bidet! It was great having a washer and dryer, too. We loved the location--so close to Fort Warden, walking trails, Admiralty Inlet and downtown Port Townsend. Sharon was a wonderful host, and we look forward to staying again in the future.

Perfect location

We walked everywhere, to downtown, to hiking trails, to the beach, and grocery stores. Sharon our host was very responsive and respectful of our privacy. The kitchen was amazingly well supplied. Loved the flowers, the neighborhood deer, and the hummingbirds. A wonderful month in Port Townsend!

A cozy cabin in a great location

We had a great stay at the Bird’s Nest. Sharon is a fantastic host. She’s attentive and responsive whenever you need something but also gives you space and privacy to really feel at home. The kitchen is so well equipped that we were cooking at home almost every night. Great location, walking distance to Fort Worden and convenient driving distance from everything you need in Port Townsend. A great place to stay!

Wonderful !

The house was clean and very charming. The hostess, Sharon Kania, was eager to see that all my needs were met. I loved the views of the water. My heart leapt when I say a cruise ship, cargo ship or white masts of a sailing ship go up the sound. Port Townsend and the surrounding towns are wonderful to visit. There are lots of music and art festivals. It's a great place to visit. I would come again to stay at "the bird's nest cottage".

It is everything the ad claims and more. They had a better furnished kitchen than I do at home! Deer eat in the yard on a daily basis and you can sit on the porch and watch the ocean. I felt like I was staying at a mini version of the Ritz Carlton, can't wait to come back. There is always something going on in that town. You never get bored!

Cottage by the Fort

Thoroughly enjoyed the location, close to Fort Worden, beach and easy access to Water St or Uptown PT. Rode my bike easily up that final hill. Had good place to lock up my bike at the cottage. Relaxing stay in comfortable setting. Cottage a bit over-furnished but was able to move a few things to closets to make it comfortable. Had access to any appliance desired, and supplies for cleaning and washing machine (clean). Exterior a bit rough but not a hazard. Pictures are a bit dated of outside. I'd return here again in future summers. Owner available but not intrusive at all, altho she lives next door. Felt cared for. Thanks Sharon.

Cozy Nest

Perfect location for a couple who want access to the beaches and woods on the north side of town. The covered front porch offers views of Fort Worden and the waters around the lighthouse. The kitchen is set up thoroughly for those of us who like to cook. The owner is next door and could not be more attentive to any issues that arise. A gardener refreshes the plantings on the back deck weekly. We've had a lovely time.

beautiful cottage with all the amenities one could ask for

What a find! Bird Nest is a lovely place, spotless, beautifully decorated, and full of luxurious touches to make a stay comfortable. We spent the first 30 minutes exclaiming over things: the beautiful view, the wonderful kitchen, the fresh flowers, the luxurious bed, the luxurious bath and shower, etc. The place is sited for complete privacy. It's especially nice for a family with disparate tastes: lots of nearby hikes, great shopping close by, fresh local food in bakeries, farmers markets and restaurants, and all the comforts of home, including wifi and cable for our teenager. I can't imagine anyone who would not be delighted with their experience here--and the rates are very reasonable too. The hosts are extremely gracious but also very respectful of privacy--you can have as much or as little company as you like. All in all, the best place we've stayed in a long long time.

A Great Find

We recently spent three months at the cabin and loved the location near Fort Worden. Gary built a Redfish kayak and attended an ongoing evening boatbuilding workshop at the new Northwest Maritime Center twice weekly. We enjoyed walking, trying out the many interesting restaurants in the area, exploring and learning to geocache, taking the ferries to Whidbey Island and to Edmonds, and seeing movies at The Rose Theater and Uptowne Theater. Owners Jerry and Sharon make every effort to ensure that you have what you need for a great stay. We would highly recommend this property.

What a special treat! The only downside is THAT YOU CAN'T STAY LONGER!! So much to enjoy...........

Port Townsend has so much to offer........ The ambiance is awesome......... The Birdnest Cottage is a true delight with ALL amenities and comforts of home. The ocean view, the walk on the beach, the back-yard herb garden, rasberries, fresh flowers, the passing deer, the quaint downtown district with its specialty pubs and restaurants, even a playhouse theatre! The HOSPITALITY of the proprietors. One would like to ask "WHEN CAN I MOVE IN??"

About the host

Hosted by Sharon and Jerry Kania

Host profile image
We moved to Washington state in 1999 from Il, Mi, and Ca., and love it. We are retired and thought renting a cottage to people from around the world would be fun, and we were right. It is rewarding to expose guest to the great northwest and help them have a vacation never to be forgotten. We look forward to your visit.

Why they chose this property

We love Port Townsend with all its festivals, Blues, Jazz, Fiddle, Film Fest, Wooden Boat, etc. We built the cottage as a place for all our family and friends to stay when they came to visit us. When it is not being used by family and friends, we decided to share it with guest that want the best possible home away from home.

What makes this property unique

A comfortable home with all the amenities and entertainment so close by. You can walk out the front door and two blocks away you can stroll the beach or hike the many trails at Fort Worden. Enjoy tennis courts, nite lighted, launch your own or rent boats or just sit and admire all the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula.
