My kids and I absolutely adored our stay at the Sandcastle. Clean, cozy, wonderfully decorated and thoughtful touches. The beach access was just as close as the pictures make it seem and the house was well stocked with everything you could need. We made so many happy memories there and can’t wait to return!

We loved this cottage. It is steps from the beach. Two nice decks to enjoy outside and two huge windows to enjoy from inside. It is located on a subtle cove which birds loved. The cottage is very well appointed with everything you may need. We will return sometime in the future. Also, it is only 13/4 hr from SeaTac.

Loved the shabby chic French country inspired cottage on the water and beach access, with big views and lots of out of door spaces to enjoy. The beds were warm and cozy. The spaces generous to enjoy with friends. I'd come back for sure. Next time in the summer when we can enjoy the beach and outdoor dining options. Loved it!

This beach cottage was perfect for our 40th anniversary getaway. The vibe is comfy and unpretentious. I loved! all the books-even Nancy Drew! We loved watching the tides on our inlet, and enjoyed a fire on the beach one night. Very quiet and peaceful. I also loved the well stocked kitchen, as we prefer to cook and eat in at the end of a long day exploring the Olympic Park and its incredible trees.

Staying here was a truly wonderful experience. Communication with the hosts was excellent before, during, and after our stay. The property was exactly as advertised, though the photos did not begin to capture the beauty and serenity of this place. The hosts have provided everything a guest could want, including board games, books, binoculars, and spotter guides. The view was spectacular, the furnished deck was wonderful for barbequing and watching the stars, and the access to a very lovely private beach was the best perk of all. The neighborhood was quiet, and everyone we passed had a warm smile. The drive from the Port Townsend Ferry was only 20 minutes, with plenty of dining, grocery, and fuel options between the home and town. Overall, it was one of the best stays we have had. We are hoping to return to enjoy it again in the wintertime.

Owners were very communicative, easy to work with, and everything worked as they said. College buddy and I used it as a place to crash in between golf rounds at Dungeness, White Horse, and Port Ludlow. Location was quiet, accommodations were comfortable, and it had everything we wanted/needed. The beach view/access was great and we even caught some red crab off the rocks down the beach by the campsite with a crab snare (didn’t keep them though). It’s a classic cottage size and feel and I would definitely go back again.

This was a gem of a place to stay. My 3 boys loved it so much and are begging to come back. They are so intentional on everything and plenty of fun books, games, etc to truly unwind and recharge. Wish we could have stayed longer. The beach is really incredible too. Great views. There were a few items I messaged the owner about and their replies were prompt and helpful. They do a great job of overseeing the care of this site. Will stay again.

This property was our little slice of heaven for four nights and if we could have stayed longer we would have! Adorable decor, comfy couch and beds. Sizeable kitchen and bedrooms. BUT the sunrises!!! Left us speechless! You don’t even have to go outside to enjoy them ! The sun rises directly across the water within view of every window facing it ! Absolutely gorgeous! The location is ideal because it’s quiet and relaxing out of the way of the busy downtown but close enough that even just going to eat takes only ten minutes! The hosts are patient and quick to respond to any questions! Can highly recommend this unit to stay in without hesitation!

Perfect location and easy space to be at home in. Lots of small touches to make the stay pleasant. Beds comfortable, bathroom spacious. If needed a lot of dvds and books, games and Great binoculars were available. It rained hard both days, but we were cozy and happy. Great place. The stairs are very steep, although banisters are well placed, just be aware. Thank you!

We loved our trip to the Sandcastle! Gorgeous views, comfy beds, and long walks along the beach made for a peaceful family vacation. We took day trips to Port Townsend and to Bainbridge Island to catch the Seattle Ferry. We also hiked Anderson Lake State Park which was gorgeous. All in all there is so much to do here and the Sandcastle was the perfect headquarters for our adventures. The kids loved the water at high tide and had lots of fun exploring low tide. Great opportunity to unplug and enjoy nature.

Owners were very communicative, easy to work with, and everything worked as they said. College buddy and I used it as a place to crash in between golf rounds at Dungeness, White Horse, and Port Ludlow. Location was quiet, accommodations were comfortable, and it had everything we wanted/needed. The beach view/access was great and we even caught some red crab off the rocks down the beach by the campsite with a crab snare (didn’t keep them though). It’s a classic cottage size and feel and I would definitely go back again.

We rented this wonderful cottage for three nights in late March. It is perched on the beautiful quiet, Oak Bay just a bit south of Port Hadlock, looking across at Indian and Marrowstone islands. The star of the show is the constantly changing light on the bay and the birds, ducks, eagles, otter and Dall’s porpoises that delighted us. The cottage itself met all our needs and we would happily return again. We also highly recommend a dinner at the Ajax Cafe in Port Haddlock (they serve dinners only on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. Reservations are a good idea there.

Staying here was a truly wonderful experience. Communication with the hosts was excellent before, during, and after our stay. The property was exactly as advertised, though the photos did not begin to capture the beauty and serenity of this place. The hosts have provided everything a guest could want, including board games, books, binoculars, and spotter guides. The view was spectacular, the furnished deck was wonderful for barbequing and watching the stars, and the access to a very lovely private beach was the best perk of all. The neighborhood was quiet, and everyone we passed had a warm smile. The drive from the Port Townsend Ferry was only 20 minutes, with plenty of dining, grocery, and fuel options between the home and town. Overall, it was one of the best stays we have had. We are hoping to return to enjoy it again in the wintertime.

We spent most of our time w our son and his family , from Port Townsend. The grandkids loved exploring the water. We enjoyed sitting on the deck or by the water. It was super relaxing. We took short day trips to Fort Warden,Fort Flagler and Port Gamble. Spent a day in Port Townsend. All was perfect

Enchanting location and home. Close to Port Townsend. Enjoy quiet mornings on the deck with a couple of eagles. Stay away from Ajax Cafe. Try Sirens Pub in PT.

This property was our little slice of heaven for four nights and if we could have stayed longer we would have! Adorable decor, comfy couch and beds. Sizeable kitchen and bedrooms. BUT the sunrises!!! Left us speechless! You don’t even have to go outside to enjoy them ! The sun rises directly across the water within view of every window facing it ! Absolutely gorgeous! The location is ideal because it’s quiet and relaxing out of the way of the busy downtown but close enough that even just going to eat takes only ten minutes! The hosts are patient and quick to respond to any questions! Can highly recommend this unit to stay in without hesitation!

We loved the layout. Very spacious. The sand beach was amazing. We loved walking in the morning. Close to qfc and visited local historic parks. Stairs to the beach in excellent condition.

This beach cottage was perfect for our 40th anniversary getaway. The vibe is comfy and unpretentious. I loved! all the books-even Nancy Drew! We loved watching the tides on our inlet, and enjoyed a fire on the beach one night. Very quiet and peaceful. I also loved the well stocked kitchen, as we prefer to cook and eat in at the end of a long day exploring the Olympic Park and its incredible trees.

The house was so cute and had the most amazing view! Steps from the deck lead right to a sandy beach, perfect for building sandcastles. It was stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable and was just a short drive to a great grocery store. Great place to stay with our two little boys!

The location was perfect. So close to any activities you might want to participate in close to the beach. The home had a beautiful view, kitchen and bathroom was well stocked with what we needed. Plenty of places to be together in a group and/or have private time to yourself.

You supplied everything we needed and more. We didn’t watch TV. We enjoyed THE NATURE SHOW from your big windows. We gave dyed you with a (complete) deck of cards. We’ve decided to pack a knife sharpener next time we rent from any site. We understand knives get used and abused.
