About this property

1BR water-view cabin with fireplace

Summary:

Looking to take a relaxing getaway in the Olympic Peninsula? Look no further than this charming Port Ludlow cabin! A quiet natural setting away from city stress, amazing views, and easy access to a nearby beach and several of Washington's best small towns make this an easy choice for your next vacation.



Just four miles north of the quiet town of Port Ludlow and only 14 miles from popular Port Townsend, your new home away from home is perfect for peaceful getaways, with a shared neighborhood beach just a short walk away and a lovely waterfront view from the wide, spacious deck.



The Space:

Sit back and relax, and enjoy the crashing waves and the woodlands surrounding you.



Beautiful wood paneling, matching simple furnishings, and unique decorative touches like unique ceramic fish, tasteful statues and paintings, and plenty of books on the bookshelf all come together to give this home a relaxing, rustic atmosphere. When it's chilly out, warm up by the wood stove.



Marvel at the seaside views of the deck before stepping back inside and taking it easy in the living room. Take a seat on the cushy rocking chairs or the sofa by the windows and relax. This home is a great opportunity to unplug, but you don't have to give up on top-notch entertainment - this home features a TV with a DVD player!



Prepare and store simple meals in the fully-equipped kitchen with beautiful wooden cabinets. When it's time for dinner, sit down at the table near the windows, or head to one of the outdoor tables and dine alfresco on the deck while enjoying the ocean air.



Please note that access to the loft is via ladder and can be tricky. Meanwhile, the shower in the home's bath will keep everyone nice and clean before they head out to explore the Washington Peninsula!



It's tempting to stay at home, with a pickleball court, a neighborhood beach, and plenty of beautiful nature to admire, but you'd be missing out on the many nearby Olympic Peninsula sights and sounds! In addition to Port Ludlow's charming shops and restaurants four miles to the south, you're within 14 miles of Victorian seaport Port Townsend, as well as Port Hadlock and Marrowstone Island. If you'd like to enjoy the small-town sights and small lakes of Whidbey Island, it's just a 42-mile drive - and scenic ferry ride - from your door!



Why wait on a perfect Washington vacation? Place your reservation today, and enjoy the peaceful, relaxing getaway you deserve.

Great Long Weekend

This is our third year staying here for a long weekend. We love the location for the quite neighborhood and the views from the house. Easy to hunker down if the weather is bad and easy drive to Port Townsend for some window shopping. The family is looking forward to another stay next year.

Lovely cabin for two

The cabin sits right on the edge of the sound with beautiful views for miles. It is exactly as advertised. Don't expect beach access from the property or Internet or cable but do expect a gorgeous view away from the world but only a few hours away from Seattle.

Perfectly acceptable stay. Note that there is a path to a beach that you are not allowed to enter. Bring your own firewood. Owner(s) insist you take off your shoes.

Beautiful view

Serene log cabin with the most amazing view. We had a very comfortable stay and loved every minute. One thing that guests should know that there is NO beach access from the house since the pathway (last few stairs) belongs to the neighbors and without trespassing there is no way down to the beach. That was a great bummer. Otherwise wonderful place

Sunrises and Moonrises

We woke up with the sun and otters and a seal who took some laps. We loved to see the stars in the western sky at night through the bedroom windows. The perfect weather allowed for glorious sunrises and magnificent moonrises. We planned ahead for there not being wi-fi, but found it was not needed. The pickle ball court was great fun. The walk back to Oak Bay Rd along Olele Point Road was a great way to start the day. We were careful to use water sparingly and did not have any issues. What a super cabin!

Great lodging but poorly cleaned

The view was spectacular, very quiet for a relaxing time away from the normal grind. Although the quiet was interrupted by a well meaning (hungry) woodpecker that became our dependable 6 am alarm clock that is damaging the siding above the loft windows. We found a number carpenter ants which I think may be the woodpecker's desired diet. The pots and pans need to be clean. Some were greasy and some had food attached. As a guest of your lodging I would expect them to be washed thoroughly. The pot holders need to be washed, or replaced by new ones. All shelving holding dishes should be washed down between guests. Furniture should be dusted between guests. All in alll, the place just needs to be cleaned. But for the negative comments Shanty Too is a wonderful unit. The location truly is marvelous.

which was worse

There was Zero help from anyone.The toilet broke on our first day(monday)still wasn't working on Wednesday.We called in to the managers.Nothing but promises.SO we had to run into town whenever we had to go.(or out in the woods).The water system is not legal. I wouldn't even take a shower in it.The ice trays were froxen brown ice.The owners comments say "If you don't like it go into town and buy water.It's Mid May and the lawns have yet to be mowed.There is NO access to the beach because the neighbor closed the trail.For the fire place the owners have a couple signs "Only 5 pieces of wood per stay.So for a 3 night stay you only get 2 pieces a night.That won't even get the chill out.

July 4th Weekend 2022

The view is 5+ Stars. The cabin is a 2 at best. Had to wash every dish before use. The shower is a trickle of water, cabin needs serious maintenance. The deck steps are unsafe, very wobbly. Kitchen sink sprayer is broken. Dishes need upgrade some were un-useable. Patio furniture is splintered and old. We would not even sit on the couch, highly suggest leather or something that can be cleaned. It looks like it is from 1970 and smells that way too. TV is small, missing remote, and the sound is horrible. Agreed, you do not want to watch a bunch of TV with that view but on a rainy day/evening it would have been nice to have somewhere to sit, relax, and watch a movie. Bed is comfortable but it is a double not a queen and barely fits two adults. Recommend a nice king size bed. Half of the windows do not open to enjoy the cool breeze. The fact that this is a no shoe house is laughable as I would never walk bare foot in this cabin. The area is beautiful but the cabin is in need of some maintenance and updating. If you are a germaphobe like me this is not the rental for you.

Hello, Angelica. Thank you for choosing Shanty Too for your stay. The views are beautiful, and locals in Port Ludlow think Olele Point is heaven on earth! The cabin has been in the family for generations, they love its rustic look and keep up with routine maintenance, it is an ideal spot for those who enjoy hiking and the outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. There are 27 miles of trails in Port Ludlow and the shoreline is home to lots of wildlife. The owners of Shanty Too do have a plan to improve the aging cedar-wrapped shower and have done some improvements to the bathroom and kitchen. The built-in bench seat with cushions is by design for the view and the room. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have another chance to impress you!

Tranquil setting, beautiful scenery, but cabin needs attention

A tranquil and scenic vacation spot, rustic, and remote. Large deck and 180-degree view of the Puget Sound and Whidbey Island. Wildlife including eagles, herons, and deer are a constant source of entertainment. The cabin needs some updating and a good thorough cleaning. Don't try to use the waterfront as you have no access. Wish we had known that the beach access is approximately 200 yards from the home and, reportedly, you can launch a kayak from there. Living room was a wonderful and comfortable area to hang out, but the carpet could use a shampoo, and the windows need cleaning inside and out to fully take advantage of the gorgeous view. We felt that the cleanliness was acceptable aside from some dusty plates. The cabin is extremely well equipped for cooking and serving, and there’s a good variety of herbs and spices. The stale food products should be thrown out. New stove was great. There are no blackout shades in the main bedroom, so the sunrise will definitely wake you. Bed was comfortable, and there was a large closet with plenty of drawers. As for the other sleeping area in the loft… access is difficult and there is no privacy up there. Suitable for older children, but not for anyone who values their privacy. Bathroom was ok, except the sink did not drain very well, and the wood surround of bathtub needs resurfacing. Ideally it would be tiled, but at a minimum it should be stripped, re-stained and a waterproof clear coat applied. The deck is equipped with two sets of tables and chairs for dining alfresco, and the hammock is awesome. BBQ was small but adequate. Warning: wear shoes on the deck as it is in need of repair: boards are rotting and surface needs refinishing. Owners should replace, remove, or repair deck hot tub, a disgusting eyesore. (per Owner’s response to a previous reviewer… maintenance work around the hot tub had not occurred by the time we arrived on August 2.) If they replace or repair it, regularly scheduled maintenance is a must. I fully agree with a previous reviewer that the rate advertised per night is misleading. At first glance it seems reasonable, but with the additional owners’ fees and VRBO administrative fees, the final price is nearly doubled. A more liberal cancellation policy would be helpful. The policy is 60 days in advance for a full refund! I will not be using VRBO in the future if this trend continues.
