Incredible stay—Jay thought of everything!If you are looking for a quiet, restful getaway, this is it. The location was incredibly peaceful and provided the perfect escape. What blew us away was how well-equipped the home was. It had absolutely everything we could have needed or wanted. It truly felt like a home away from home. Would highly recommend.

This is a very comfortable home in a beautiful, quiet location. Jay was very responsive and helpful. Great, very close proximity to hiking and the beach, and about 25 minutes from Sequim for shopping and dining.We had a great stay here and would definitely consider staying again the next time we're in the area. It's a bit of a haul getting back up but we recommend hiking the trail that starts at the end of Hemlock that goes down to the beach at Thompson Spit. There are no way finding signs though, so pay attention so you get back alright.

Peaceful and pleasant get away.

Six wonderful relaxing days in this cozy comfortable home was just what we were looking for. We found it quiet and private, with everything we needed for a relaxing time alone with each other on our 52nd wedding anniversary. Jay is a most gracious host and we look forward to staying again.

Relaxing and quiet location with fenced front yard. All the amenities of home and delightful surroundings both in and out. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would recommend this place to anyone. The owner has gone above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable.

Our biggest complaint would be the overall condition of the property. Some maintenance work would greatly improve the look. Both the front and backyard are overgrown (we realize it's the end of the summer) but just some simple pruning would look better. Also some newer cushions on the outdoor furniture would freshen it up a bit and be more inviting.The inside is in need of a true deep and thorough cleaning; the cleaning service seems to do the bare minimum. The refrigerator was not wiped out, the toilet in the main bathroom was dirty, especially the area between the toilet lid and the tank - the buildup had been there a while. Corners and woodwork could use dusting and a wipe down. We did not utilize the oven, stovetop, or grill - we ate most meals out as we were really on the run exploring the area. We utilized the Netflix connection after a long day. All in all, we were comfortable in the house and enjoyed the stay. But being charged for cleaning and it's the bare minimum done, the cleaning service should be advised.

Perfectly Comfortable

This house is truly a home away from home with all the comforts and convenience you could hope for. It was chilly outside during our stay but the house was cozy and warm. We loved the fenced in yard for our dog as well!

Outstanding property

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay. Our host Jay must have ordered great weather for us as it was sunny nearly every day - allowing us to have our morning coffee on the front porch while enjoying the fantastic view. Being new to the area, we found the guest book with maps and area activities very helpful.

Peaceful vacation

Had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Very private with wooded area all around. Deer roamed the area every day. We visited Port Townsend, Hurricane Ridge, Rented kayaks at Port Ludlow.Victoria BC. Slept peacefully each night in super comfortable beds. Our dog Abby enjoyed the fenced front and back yards. Will definitely return to this haven on the Juan De Fuca Strait.

Nice House in Quiet Neighborhood

My family and I enjoyed staying at the Diamond Retreat House. You can't really tell from the picture how nice the garden and surrounding area are. We liked the layout of the house. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. The electric switches were all labeled, the supplied directions were clear, and the whole house was well organized and decorated. The location is convenient for getting to Olympic Nat Park and the nice little town of Sequim.

Lovely Property

This is a lovely property. Unfortunately I found it necessary to postpone my visit due to construction going on next door during my planned visit. I’m very grateful for the owner’s honesty and transparency in revealing the neighbor’s planned construction project to me and I’m looking forward to rescheduling my visit once the construction next door is completed. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with. Thank you Jay!

Quiet Christmas Getaway

After a short journey through the forest from Highway 101, we arrived in the quiet community of Diamond Point. Setting foot in the cottage, we instantly felt at home! All the rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished. Living and kitchen area vaulted ceiling enhances the feeling of roominess. We enjoyed the warmth of the wood stove during the cool and early dark evenings of late December. The owner’s art collection displayed throughout the house adds interest and character. Operating directions for running the household have been thoughtfully considered and provided. The back deck and yard are wonderfully private and backed by mature forest. The yard is fully enclosed which was delightful for our Labrador Retriever to explore off lead. A family of raccoons and small herd of deer passed through the area, while we stayed, but were no trouble and enjoyable to watch. We attempted to get to Diamond Point beach via Mussel Shell Road, but were thwarted by a high tide and found the steepness of grade physically challenging. It was much easier to get to the beach by taking the short drive over to North Diamond Shore Lane. From there we were able to hike clear down to the old wood cabin and beyond. A beautiful walk at low tide! The cottage provided a great base for exploring the area: Port Angeles and the spit at Ediz Hook wildlife refuge; Dungeness Spit; Old-town Sequim; Historic Fort Worden; Picturesque Port Townsend; Blyn Village, Casino restaurant and gift shop (and the most amazing Christmas light display south of Butchart Gardens!) The most difficult aspect of our visit was driving away at the end of our stay in Diamond Point Cottage – we would love to return someday.

George (and partner), Your review was the most gracious I have ever read (and maybe deservedly so). Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I've tried to make the place comfortable and interesting w/ art, nice furnishings, kitchen amenities, and I continue to upgrade the garden areas. Given the wonderful location & amenities of the area, it is easy to see why I continue to love the Olympic peninsula and return as often as I can to explore new sites & return to so many beautiful spots. thanks for enjoying yourselves, at my home away from home!

Fantastic place to stay

The house is inviting and pleasant. The location (close to the ocean) is gorgeous, both the front and back porches were great to sit on, the house was super clean and bright. We walked our dog all over the neighborhood and it was a good place for walks, plus the neighbors were super friendly. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was organized and well stocked. Would definitely go back.

Quiet and comfortable

I was attending a photography workshop in the area, so my husband and 16 year old dog came along for fun. The house was perfect for us. Very comfortable and well equipped. The stairs were a bit steep for my senior pup, but she managed and thoroughly enjoyed her time on the decks and in the fenced yard. The fence was quite secure for an older dog; however I'm not positive it would have been sufficient for her in her more adventurous/athletic years. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors were friendly. We saw lots of deer and raccoons. We couldn't find the trail to the beach (the place where we thought the trail was located says "no trespassing" so we walked the road to the beach. The last portion of the road is incredibly steep (and fairly long). I actually had to carry my dog down, which was no easy feat. We went at high tide and couldn't really enjoy the beach, and we weren't willing to tackle the steep hill again at a later time when the tide was lower. Instead, we went to Miller Peninsula State Park and hiked a couple miles of flat terrain to the beach, which was lovely. All in all, we had a very nice visit and would absolutely recommend this rental.
