This was quite a special experience for us. Maureen and Joe met us at what was once Maureenâs childhood home. The view as we pulled in the driveway convinced us that we had picked the perfect âhome away from homeâ for our trip. And once we visited with the hosts, we realized this was quite wonderful opportunity. The listing was exactly as stated, the views were better than we could have imagined and the home was clean and loaded with everything we needed for our trip-especially the dishwasher and laundry machines! Thank you so much Maureen and Joe for trusting us with your special place on the beautiful Strait of Juan de Fuca. Would love to make it back and visit again!
We had a wonderful stay here, starting with being personally welcomed by our hosts Maureen and Joe. The property was exactly as I anticipated, clean, peaceful and full of mid-century charm. The personal stories Joe & Maureen shared about the history of the home were icing on the cake. We enjoyed the sights & sounds of the Strait, the spacious kitchen and the private setting. We look forward to staying here in the future. Thank you, Maureen & Joe!!
This is not just a rental house, this is a home. It is charming. It is mostly large picture windows yet it is secluded and private. It's a large property with beautiful trees, bushes, flowers, and wildlife. There are gorgeous sunsets and views of the strait, ships passing by, Victoria, mountains, and you can even see Mount Baker from the dining room table. It has all the benefits of home with so many things provided. There are binoculars, all the soaps and detergents needed, home stereo (with USB port), nice flatware and cookware, foil, saran wrap, real-brand Kleenex and TP, nice comfy chairs with ottomans and crocheted afghans, night lights...an endless list of things we appreciated during our stay. It is clean and well-maintained. It has beautiful flowers, not just in pots hanging outside but indoors as well. Maureen and Joe greet you and share their insights and insider knowledge to make the most of your visit.
This property is just so comfortable. We've stayed here 4 times and hope to come back again. The location is perfect. The property is well kept. We think it's a pretty special place. The owners are great people.
Hosts are wonderful and so helpful with tips on traveling in the area. We appreciated the advice, especially about needing to be early for Hoh as well as the time of day for low tide.Highly recommend!
My friend and I planned a hiking trip to Olympic with half our stay in Port Angeles. Maureen & Joe opened their beautiful home to us and we enjoyed every momentâŠfrom the beautiful sunsets to the sounds of the ocean to watching the ships pass through the Strait. If you are looking for a location near Olympic Park and also close to downtown Port Angeles but also want quiet and privacy, this is the house to stay at! Maureen & Joe were a fount of information and shared the âmust doâsâ of the area. I hope to come back again soon!!
This was a wonderful stay. The property itself is a hidden gem in port Angeles, surrounded by forests, with ocean view from living room and dining room. Itâs also very convenient to explore Olympic national park from the property.Maureen and Joe were amazing hosts. They came to the property for in-person checked and toured us around the house. Maureen also gave valuable tips on planning travels and exploring nearby regions.Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to this area!
We stayed as a launching point for Olympic National Park and we couldn't have had a better place. The house has lovely architecture, the views of the sea are incredible, and Maureen and Joe were very helpful with their advice about the town and park.
Awesome value on this rental house over looking the strait of Juan de Fuca. Super clean, awesome great room with panoramic views, gas fireplace and comfortable seating. Has to be one of the best values in Port Angeles. Which we stayed longer.
Charming original midcentury home with spectacular views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Very well equipped in all respects, from the kitchen to the bed/bath linens-- including travel info, telescope and binoculars, video library, very comfortable beds. House is super close to the Black Ball Ferry landing to go to Victoria B.C.
Maureen is a wonderful host, gave us a thorough introduction to the home and the surrounding area. This group of friends will definitely be back!!
Tip: LOVED Country Aire Natural Foods in Port Angeles.
This home is amazing! Lots of windows with a beautiful view of the Straight of Juan De Fuca. Home was very clean and comfortable. Maurer met us to check in and gave lots of useful information about the area. We had a wonderful time!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Port Angeles. The location was quiet, and we enjoyed watching the Doe and er two fawns that lived on the property. The home was very clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The view from the back of the house was absolutely wonderful. As Maureen stated upon check-in, we able to watch many ships come and go while loading pilots to navigate the sound and the straits. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great getaway in PNW.
Many thanks to Joe and Maureen!
View from the back yard is absolutely stunning! What a blessing to wake up in such a beautiful environment! Sunsets & sunriseâŠcouldnât take enough pictures. Kitchen & living set up was just what we âneededâ
We had a relaxing and wonderful stay at Joe and Maureen's place. It was wonderful to disconnect from our electronic worlds and connect with friends in family in this beautiful home that feels like a museum. It's a very tranquil setting with amazing sunsets. We hope to be back soon!
Staying at Maureenâs childhood home felt like staying in a Frank Lloyd Wright house. With expansive windows, a secluded location, surrounding trees and rhododendrons, and a marvelous water view, the well furnished mid century modern home is a treasure.
This was our first time staying at Joe & Maureen's Port Angeles rental. Highly recommend this place for the excellent views and proximity to the various attractions in Olympic National Park (Hurricane Ridge, Sul Duc falls, etc.). Joe & Maureen greeted us and gave us a tour of the home and shared with us tips on what to see and where to ear. Definitely will come and stay here again.
