The property was at a great location with nice views and walking distance/short drive to get coffee and the bakery which was fabulous. We had a family of deer that visited us everyday relaxing in the front and back yard! We didn’t cook as we were attending a wedding celebration located a short drive from our rental. We were told that the dish washer was broken the day we arrived and waiting for a spare part. Fortunately this was not a problem, not having to cook. All the bedrooms were nice, with 2 having a great view of the bay. The one downside was there was only 2 bathrooms in the house, one upstairs and one downstairs. This was not a big issue for us, as there was just four adults (2 couples). I actually wish we would have had more time to relax and enjoy the house, but our wedding activity kept us busy! I never made it to the downstairs basement where there was some games/activities we could have enjoyed.

We had 8 adults and there was plenty of room to spread out and have meals inside and out. The views from every room in the house were amazing. We would highly recommend this property.
5.0
The house was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was stocked with any equipment a chef could want. A family of deer graced the grassy areas! Great communication with the property manager.
The only downside for our group was that seven of us (three couples and a single) found having only two restrooms a little tight -- especially in mornings when we all wanted to be out of the house early for seeing the sights! The bathrooms were well maintained, though, and we never ran out of hot water!
I look forward to staying here again.

We enjoyed our visit so much. Even though the home is old it did not feel that way but yet kept the character and sense that you were in another century. We had children that went to bed at 8:00 and we didn't have to tiptoe around for fear of waking them so the walls are not thin like you would think an old house would be. We will defiantly go back and stay with our family again.

Wonderful - good for entertaining guests, quiet location.

We were a big group of 6 adults and 2 kids, who fitted nicely into the spacious & beautiful home. The location of the property is amazing with unencumbered views of the bay, and we could see big beautiful cruise ships sailing with their bright lights on, in the nights, from our bedrooms. The wide open space both in front and back of the house was a great attraction for the kids who spent most of the time there running around. We even got to see deers (mama and baby) come to the lawns regularly, which we could capture through our lenses. We went for walks into the town, which was a stones throw from the house, even the beach front restaurants. The house was immaculately kept at the time of our check-in, and the host(s) were extremely nice and welcoming. Overall an amazing experience!

The home is situated on a beautify lot overlooking the bay. We enjoyed watching the ships passing by and the spectacular sunsets and Hunter moon rising in the evenings.

This home is a glorious place to base all your Olympic National Park adventures out of. The pictures show you everything, well situated overlooking the straits of Juan de Fuca. Hurricane Ridge visitor center is just up the road. Whale watching is available in Port Angeles. The house itself is large, clean, comfortable and quiet. The reservation process and property managers are easy to deal with and our family loved our time there.

Excellent!
Beautiful home with amazing views, comfortable bedrooms and living space. We felt like we had our own private location because the property is very private and peaceful. Great place to spend time with family for our reunion. I could also visualize people having a beautiful wedding in the backyard. Staff was very friendly, easy to contact and available. If we come back to Port Angeles, I would definitely stay here again, and I would also recommend others to stay here also. Thanks for a great memory!

Thank you so much for our incredible week in your beautiful home. The views were amazing from all bedrooms & even had some amazing sunsets. Our first time to the area & we had a great time. We hiked around Crescent lake , went to Forks & La Push for the Twilight tour, hiked through the Hoh rainforest, went to the Tree of Life, did a day trip to Victoria BC, went on a whale watch tour & saw 3 whales, enjoyed many great restaurants & a fun night making s’mores at the fire pit in the backyard!
Truly a spectacular property and area made for a memorable spring break.

This is our family's 2nd time staying at this house. It is centrally located to walk to restaurants and parks. The house has all the amenities you could wish for. When we stayed during the summer, it was relaxing to barbecue with the Port right in the backyard. During Thanksgiving it is in a picturesque location with the town beautifully decorated. The house is colonial style and kept up beautifully. A great house to relax in at night by the fire, reading a book or watching a movie. Close by swimming pool, grocery stores, restaurants and the movie theater. This house is one of a kind and a cozy stay.

Family Gathering
Just finished a week long family gathering at he Caroline house, Wow ! We had 3 couples and our mother for the week so the big 4 bedrooms were a must. The rooms are very large. In fact, the house is very large. We ended up using just about all of it. We cooked in every breakfast and dinner so the kitchen with lots of counter space and island came in handy as did the separate dinning room with huge table. The outdoor gas grill was also put to good use. Additionally there was outdoor table seating on a patio. At night we hung around the fire pit or played pool into the late hours (people in bed sleeping reported they couldn't hear us at all down in the basement rec. room ). The gas fire place in the Huge living room was much appreciated.
The house is in a perfect location , within a short walk to the Ferry pier and water front or
down town streets. However, you would never know it when you were at the house, located on a bluff overlooking the water on a quiet dead end street you have spectacular view of the inlet, harbor and all the big ship activity. Along the water way below the house is a paved walkway that goes for miles and miles in both directions. We even saw a " raft " of river otters playing one early morning. Sunrises over the water were incredible !
We had two cars parked in the driveway, however the parking area is so large we are still able to turn the cars so you didn't have to back out of the driveway.
Lastly - our contacts Jim and Tanya were super helpful. They quickly responded to my post booking questions and were accommodating to my requests.
Book the house - you will love it.

Amazing experience!!
We give this home an absolute 10 star rating. We had such an amazing time in Port Angeles and this home was a large reason for that. It has luxurious amenities, fine details, large kitchen, great craftsmanship, large grass areas and trees, and an INCREDIBLE view. We saw wildlife straight from the kitchen window and it was extremely easy access to town.
The outdoor area was so fun to grill and look out on the gorgeous view. I especially loved the massive windows in two of the upstairs bedroom windows with a perfect landscape view of the water. And EVERY bedroom upstairs had a view of the water from their window.
The kids had a blast in the basement downstairs with all the games and amenities.
I can’t recommend this enough. Wonderful owner as well and extremely easy to work with and very clear communication.
Enjoy your time here!

Gem of a home
Two families (10 total) enjoyed staying in this home for 4 nights on our 2nd leg of our PNW trip. The house is very clean, one of the cleanest we have stayed in over the past 20 years we have been renting homes for vacation.
The beds were comfortable however 2 had to sleep on air mattresses and one on a couch since we have 4 boys who are all over 6’ tall and aren’t comfortable sharing a bed.
The view from the house is spectacular. We enjoyed sipping wine on the back lawn and watching the sunset. We enjoyed meals at Kokopelli (reservation needed), Chestnut Cottage and Frugal’s. The kitchen was spacious and we appreciated the crockpot as it made it easy to plan for dinner in while we hiked in the area. We enjoyed Hurricane Ridge and walking to the shops in town.
Overall, great trip. Thank you for allowing us to vacation in your home.

The check-in process was very smooth! And Tonya was great! As with any trip, there can be delays. We were about 30minutes later than we anticipated. But we were able to communicate with Tonya via text and she was very responsive and flexible! The form to fill out just took a couple of minutes. A quick tour and off we were!
The rooms were spacious. It was nice having ceiling fans in every room. It was Father's Day weekend, so there wasn't a need for us to adjust the thermostat at all, but just be aware that it is controlled remotely by the owner due to previous tenant's inability to be responsible vacationers. A quick text to the owner to make any heating adjustments if it's needed. It never drops below 68, which is perfect anyways.
Keep in mind, this home is 100+ years old. The floors do creak. The doors also creak a little. But all in all, it wasn't bothersome to us and didn't seem to wake the kids, which was the most important.
The home came equipped with several things that most places don't. Plenty of kitchen items, toiletries, etc. A previous reviewer mentioned the shower turning ice cold. Well, that happened to me, but it was very clear as to why that happened. I was in the upstairs shower and then mid-shower, someone else decided to a shower downstairs. I got iced out. But it wasn't the owner to blame, but the selfish hungover guest that was tired from a day of golfing =)
The location was perfect. A short drive to town and to the beach. We were also able to walk from the residence down to the walking trail along the beach.
The yard was perfect for kicking a ball around and the kids blew bubbles.
This was a great weekend and a very nice place to stay!

The pros: clean, great view, and centrally located. Also greatful they allowed early check in. Cons: The online listing was updated to include this information after I booked, but this place requires an in person check in to tour and inspect the house, a copy of your driver's license, and in person signed contacts. When requesting not to do in person tour due to COVID, I was told it will be fine as long as the employee and I wore masks, and it's necessary to protect the "very expensive property." The employee was pleasant and shared that the owner has had bad experiences in the past, hence the intense process. The home is aged, but overall well maintained. Unfortunately, we had extreme switches between cold and scalding showers, which could have been related to a running toilet. To be fair, I reported these but requested that no one enter the home due to COVID concerns. They have a full size pool table, but some of the area so small you can't use the full cue. Bottom line, I will not return, but if you don't mind the intense check in and appreciate older homes, this may be for you.

This home was beautiful & the views of the Sound are exceptional. My children especially loved the amenities of the basement. The place was also spotless. The checkin process is a bit over the top. Someone met us at the property, gave us a tour & had us sign a short term lease. It felt a little intense so for me, I wasn’t able to completely relax. Glad we came but I wouldn’t stay here again.
