Good to know

Welcome to a perfect place to get away from the busyness and relax! This cozy home has two bedrooms (each with a queen bed and one with an additional twin), one bathroom, a nice sized kitchen with dining area, and roomy living room. Off the kitchen is a double sliding door that opens to a large deck overlooking the bay, with a propane grill (May-Sept). Down a flight of stairs, you will discover a peaceful 12x12 deck where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or lunch on the picnic table. Down another flight of stairs will bring you to our fire-pit just a few steps from the beach where you can read a book or take long walk down the beach in either direction. At the far end is a county park and with the proper permits you can clam, fish and crab. Our view contains amazing sunrises, graceful eagles, seasonal seals, loons, osprey, occasional boat traffic and constant beauty. We are nestled from the weather in a quiet bay off the Puget sound. The house is stocked with games, puzzles, a few books, a TV in the living room, and WiFi for your devices. We hope you can come to enjoy a book, a s'more, a walk at low tide to see what lies under rocks, a game with loved ones and let stress melt away. There is an great restaurant (Ajax Café), 24-hour QFC, bagel shop, coffee and hardware store (for all your fishing needs) 5 minutes away. We are on the Olympic Peninsula so day trips to explore the mountains, pacific coast or rain forest are ideal. Two great retired naval forts are 10 and 20 minutes away, they are great places to hike, explore and enjoy yummy ice cream. Port Townsend is 20 minutes away with great shopping, more restaurants, farmers markets, festivals and theaters.

What a fantastic gem! Exactly as advertised and more. We will definitely be coming back this summer to really spend some time soaking in the never ending scenery this house provides. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
