Gorgeously located on the shores of Squamish Harbor in Port Ludlow, this water-view home exudes calm, relaxation, and serene natural beauty in every season. It's a wonderful spot to spend the summer collecting seashells on the beach across the street and winter holidays curled up under a blanket with a view of Puget Sound. The interior living space is full of natural light, with windows throughout the home that frame views of either the ocean or the surrounding evergreen canopy. Come home from a morning on the beach, a kayaking excursion, pickle ball court, or an exploration of the Olympic Peninsula to toss the day's clothes in the private washer/dryer and both prepare and eat dinner with an incredible view. Bring your coffee and dessert outside to the deck, and settle in for a good show or a movie in either the loft or the downstairs den.

This water-view home is located on Squamish Harbor in the peaceful community of Port Ludlow, across the street from a set of steps that lead to the beach (please note that the steps are on a pulley/wrench system and they need to be lowered and raised). You'll be two miles down the road from Shine Tidelands State Park, a great place for fishing, harvesting shellfish, birding, kayaking, and walking the beach. The small town of Port Ludlow is six miles north, where you'll find the marina, the Port Ludlow Golf Club, and the Village Market for your convenience. And if you're looking to explore this lovely part of the Olympic Peninsula even further, you'll find the charming Victorian town of Port Townsend only 22 miles north.

What’s a beautiful place and view! The only thing we didn’t like was the smell of the water. Might need to add something to help the well. Other than that we might be back!

Excellent vacation home.

We loved the location, the view, the close access to the launch for our canoe and kayaks, the pickleball courts and basketball hoop, and especially the layout for sleeping arrangements. The beds were comfortable and our group had nine people that all get up and go to bed at different times so the layout created a quiet and peaceful atmosphere for us. The sulfur smell in the water wasn’t ideal, but we knew about that when we rented. WiFi wasn’t great but again, we knew ahead of time and were making memories with family anyway so it wasn’t needed. We brought a zero water filter which helped but we also had to buy ice. The ice maker wasn’t working but we would have purchased the ice anyway due to the sulfur. Overall, we were in love with the place and thankful for the time we had there. We’ll definitely go again if we can arrange it with the family. ♥️

The house was a great location for what we wanted to do, spend time in Port Townsend and hang out together. The rooms upstairs were great for all the girls to hang out together before they go their separate ways. House had everything we needed and was clean upon arrival.

Beautiful View

This house was perfect for us and our visiting family from North Dakota. The view is spectacular. The house is big and had enough space for all. The house is a little outdated but was very clean. Yard is huge. There was a pickleball/basketball court that the family loved.

Hood Canal Panorama

The location was lovely. Amazing views, very spacious. About a 15-20 minute drive to Port Townsend, which offers many wonderful restaurants and shops. Only issue was the lack of internet and TV reception. Hosts might want to consider a satellite dish to remedy that problem.
