Keywords: Vacation home, beach house, waterfront home, manor, lighthouse manor
"Lighthouse Manor" is a newer, beautiful, 3-bedroom, two-story home right on the beach of Dungeness Bay (on the Straits of Juan de Fuca). You cannot get closer to the water (unless, of course, you jump in!)
Watch the cruise ships, cargo ships and even submarines cruise through the glorious Straits of Juan de Fuca. Gawk at the spectacular views of Mt. Baker, the lights of Victoria B.C., and the New Dungeness Lighthouse. Bald eagles, otters, deer and seals are regular visitors.
As if these ocean vistas were not enough for your eyes, the opposite side of our home faces the majestic Olympic mountains. You will see some of the most spectacular sunsets over these snow-capped jewels.
Sequim (pronounced "skwim") offers so many great activities and attractions:
* Dungeness Spit (for those folks up for a great hike) (10 min); * Lavender Farms galore (5 min); * Olympic Game Farm (5 min); * Ferry across the Straits to Victoria B.C. (30 min); * Hurricane Ridge (40 min); * Local kayaking tours (5 min); * Fishing and crabbing on site); * Several nice golf courses (10 min); * Shopping (15 min); * John Wayne Marina (15 min); * Port Angeles Airport (30 min); * Port Townsend (30 min); * Seattle (1.5 hrs) * Victoria B.C. (1.5 hr)
You won't run out of things to do.
But you may just want to sit on the beach all day and soak in the views and the salt air.
The town of Sequim (15 minute drive from the beach house) has quaint shops as well as grocery stores and many restaurants. For those planning to stay for a while, there is even a Costco and a WalMart just 15 minutes away. Starbucks, QFC, Home Depot, etc. They're all here.
Sequim has the lowest rainfall in the Puget Sound region. Less than 14 inches a year!!! It has been named "the blue hole" by airplane pilots as it is usually visible from the skies above despite the rest of the area being cloudy. Sequim boasts a large retirement community because of the weather, golf and proximity to so many nearby attractions.
Many people use Sequim as a home base to explore Washington's glorious Olympic Peninsula and Victoria BC, Canada.
Golfing is popular in Sequim as well. Lighthouse Manor makes a great home base for golfers who want to hit the links during the day and relax on the beach at night. During those long winter months while Seattle golf courses are being soaked with rain, Sequim has several golf courses that remain very playable due to the area's low annual rainfall.
"Seven-Cedars Casino" is in Sequim and offers great recreation, music and food.

Map & Owner's Profile
Lighthouse Manor - Executive Beach House - No Bank Waterfront
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Sequim
We have always loved the north coast of Washington State. It is beautiful. Sequim was especially appealing as it only gets about 14" of rainfall per year due to its location in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. We bought our piece of waterfront land in 2000 and built our home soon after.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love the no-bank waterfront. Sitting in the house, you can feel like you are in a houseboat at times. The kids love to play on the beach, of course. The views are the most spectacular! The Olympic Mountains rise from the foothills in the front of the house, and the Straits of Juan de Fuca are on the other side. Few places on planet earth have mountains this high seemingly rising out of the sea. Since there are no public beaches on our street, we enjoy unparalleled quiet and tranquility.
One can sit for hours and watch the cruise ships, cargo ships and even submarines cruise through this amazing body of water. Bald eagles, seals and otters are also frequent guests.
Owner's Map of Sequim
Here we are enjoying another beautiful sunset at Lighthouse Manor in Sequim, Washington. Our "home away from home" where many great family memories have been made.
My wife and I have traveled all over Washington State to enjoy its beautiful scenery and dramatically varying landscapes. Of all the places we had found and made our special vacation spots, Sequim was the one to which we most often returned. It became our dream to buy waterfront property in Sequim and build a summer home. Lighthouse Manor became the fruition of that dream.

After a 9.1 mile hike on the Alava trail, we found this comfy lighthouse beach retreat a perfect place to rest. The warm, colorful paint and lighthouse decor make this a charming home. We have hiked numerous trails throughout our stay in WA. Yesterday it rained and we found plenty to do touring the lavender farms, strolling down the streets of the Open Aire market and finding places that sold fresh seafood. We made a delicious NW coastal dinner with blue oyster mushrooms (yum), fresh vegetables (chard, baby red potatoes with fresh green dill along with tender orange carrots), fresh halibut steaks and of course fresh Dungeness crab. To top off the meal we enjoyed lavender soda and fresh berry pie. : ) ~ Family from Chanhassen, MN

What a wonderful home on the water. The views are spectacular! We enjoyed the peace and quiet. It is so relaxing. Even though it was chilly we still enjoyed the walks on the beach. It doesn't get much better than this. Thank you for a wonderful time. This truly has been a memorable experience. ~ Mary - Fort Wayne, IN

We are probably the farthest guests you have had so far. No - we are not from Mars, we are from Beijing and Shanghai, China. This is a magic house full of lighthouses. How many are there? We counted close to 90 not including those in this handbook. We will come back and finish counting some day! Thank you for a wonderful time! Hope we have not made a mess. ~ Z Z's family from China

Our family stayed here for the Thanksgiving break. Too cold for swimming but we still found lots of stuff to do. We had some great times playing Trivial Pursuit and Apples-to-Apples. On the second day we checked out Forks from the Twilight series. That was very interesting! We had a great meal at the Sunrise Cafe and definitely recommend it. We all had a great time here and we have lots of great memories to keep.

This is the second time we have stayed at your lovely home. We used it for a family reunion and we had people from Michigan, California, Illinois as well as Washington. We love the views here and on Wednesday actually go to see Mt Baker, Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens all at the same time. Very memorable and we hope to be back.

"Eight of us spent our 16th "retreat" here at your beautiful home. We had such a good time. We marveled at the scenery ~ mountains on one side & water on the other side. So many good places to eat: El Cazador, Jean's Deli and the Oak Table were among our favorites!"

"This is an amazing place! We can't thank you enough for sharing it with us. We enjoyed watching the ships and birds, and beach combing for beautiful shells. Touring the Peninsula was great but coming "home" was even better. The house was perfect for our family get-together. We really don't want to leave - I contemplated staying; I'm sure you wouldn't mind, would you? : ) I guess we'll just have to come back! Thanks again."

"Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a wonderful time we had with our family at your beautiful home. The weather was fabulous and we so enjoyed our stay. We even had the pleasure of meeting your neighbors! Your home was immaculate and was perfectly set up for our 90 and 91-year old parents to sleep comfortably on the main floor. Our dad loved sitting on the deck and watching the boats go by - cruise ships, pleasure boats, crabbing and shrimp boats, and even two submarines on Sunday morning. As a US Navy WWII vet, you can understand how much he enjoyed that! Thank you again for letting us stay in your home. It will be a weekend we will not soon forget."
