Gorgeous view!

Lovely quiet space, despite the difficult access with the steep drive. Beds were comfortable, everything clean and bright. I was glad we brought bottled water as there was an odor from the faucet water. We didn’t seek out the beach access. We 3 80 yr old gals wished we were a little more able bodied.

Quiet PNW Getaway

Location is great, super quiet, view windows, white linens (bedding & towels). Nice landscaping. Could use more supplies in the kitchen, seating in living area was lacking an arm chair or two, floors and surfaces weren’t clean. Location and view made up for the downs.

Tranquil.

The apartment is exactly as described. Clean, quiet, comfortable. It is a great base point to explore nearby places. Only negatives: there is nothing within walking distance (Port Townsend is an easy 20 minutes away though!), beach is under construction. This didn’t affect our opinion - it was a quiet place to rest and recharge. Really enjoyed the space.

Nice stay

This property has a beautiful view which makes up for some lack of cleanliness and just general vibe of the place. The quality of furniture could be better, one of the twin beds you can feel the springs, and the couch is a bit stained. For the price however, I’d say it is a good deal. It is in a neutral place between sequim and port Townsend on either side with it being about 15-30 minutes from each. Highly recommend spending a day in port Townsend, it is such a cute town with great views, food, and goodies.

OK, close to Misty Clover Farm

The property was lovely and the suite was spacious for 2 adults and a toddler. The sound transfer from the main house to the rental space was more than we anticipated, so much that we could hear footsteps and voices through out the main bedroom and living area. The water smells strongly of sulfur and hot water doesn’t last long enough for two consecutive showers. We likely wouldn’t book this space again.

Beautiful Views

This elegant VRBO is pretty far from Port Townsend but peaceful and quiet with beautiful water views. Since we were visiting several islands and beaches it turned out to be a relaxing place to return to at the end of the day. It was extremely clean and well organized. I only wish there were proper wine glasses, a corkscrew and a large bowl for serving salad. Also, the twin bedroom door doesn’t close easily and is hard to open. Otherwise the apartment was lovely and I would definitely return!

Clean with all the basics and a beautiful view

The view is great, and the apartment is good in a basic way, but feels more like a residential hotel than a vacation home and lacks the kind of practical touches that you often find in a place rented by owners. For example, a property on well water with a moderate sulphur smell should provide bottled water for cooking and drinking. The kitchen is moderately equipped. A good home base if you are planning to be out and about a lot, but not a cozy place to hang out.

Beautiful view

This place has a beautiful view, it was very quiet until owners were home, so got a couple good days in. Led lights were a bit harsh, remote heating cooling system was pretty neat. Would be a great place for summer kayaking on the bay. If you are looking for a cozy place to retreat I would definitely consider something else. Great deal for the price. The goodwill laundry basket was a little odd…. The designated parking spaces are at the bottom of the hill , so if you need disability accommodations park in front of the garage apparently, this was not totally clear. Vacasa customer service is top notch.

Lovely View

The landscaping and view around the house was absolutely great. We had to park down the hill from the house which we weren’t a fan of but they do have handicap parking near the house should one need it. The house was very clean however there were very little pots and pans for cooking. Additionally, the water smelt like rotten eggs out of every shower/faucet and did not drain properly making the whole house smell. I’m pretty sure it’s a septic problem. All and all I would stay again granted they took care of the septic problem.

Liked: Cleanliness
We really loved the access to the beach and the general scenery. It was also nice to have a full kitchen. The brown/sulfuric water from all the taps was not a great experience and we decided to go buy our own drinking water to drink, cook and wash teeth with. There were also multiple very large spiders and small sugar ants in the apartment. The parking space for two cars was nice but it was a good 50 meters uphill on a gravel road to walk to the door so I was glad I didn't bring my elderly mother. Finally, the plastic mattress protectors on the matresses made sleeping hot and uncomfortable. If you could get the apartment fumigated (nitrogreen can put a protective barrier around the outside of your home) then change your mattress covers to normal and add filters on the faucets in the bathroom and kitchen, we would be back.
