Luxurious amenities combine with beach casual to make our Nid d'Amour (Love Nest) distinctive. In it's prior life a "pole barn", this property has now been converted into twelve hundred square feet of self-contained privacy a mere 300 feet from the beach on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. When you arrive at your destination the refreshing sea air tells you immediately that this is a very special home-away-from-home.
While oriented to the woods for maximum privacy, (we regret that recent winter storms have taken out all old growth timber on this property, we still have lush ferns & large maples) guests are lulled to sleep by the sound of the surf. Located 1/4 mile from the mouth of the Elwha River, this property has become popular with surfers, as they are within walking distance of a great surfing area.
Snuggle by the fireplace before slipping into the silky comfort of the European linens on your Cal-King canopied bed. Even rainy days are fun when you can listen to the rain falling on your tin roof. Enjoy cooking in a well-equipped kitchen or savor the unique flavors of the Pacific Northwest at one of the many excellent restaurants in town. (We are eight miles west of downtown Port Angeles, the park entrance for Hurricane Ridge or Victoria ferries).
Take a dip in your fenced, private hot tub, count all the stars you can't see living in town and revel in the smell of the ocean. You will wake up rejuvenated and ready to stroll the beach or a river trail hand in hand or simply relax to the sound of the sea breezes whispering through the tall evergreens. If you have ever needed to retreat from the real world, this is a healing place.
Although frequently used by lovers who want to get away from it all, the house has been enthusiastically received by families wanting a unique location to use as their home base while they explore the wonders of the Olympic Peninsula or day-trip to Victoria, British Columbia. Off the master bedroom is a sleeping area with a plush Queen bed covered with imported Italian linens. The sofa in the living room also converts to a "full" sleeper.
Kid-friendly amenities include board games, huge garden swing, glider, dozens of Disney videos, a fire pit for weenie and marshmallow roasts plus, of course,just across the street is the beach. Living across the street are two experienced beach guides-Mademoiselles CoCo & Bella, who would be delighted to accompany you on your beach walks or administer Chocolate Labrador kisses.(CoCo says "fetch" is her middle name and she is the original party animal!) (Bella is more into cuddles and walks, will only "fetch" if it involves teasing CoCo).
If you wish we can even shop for your groceries and stock the kitchen before your arrival. For even more pampering, breakfast (or other meals) can be delivered to your kitchen on a daily basis by a talented local chef.
The owners of the Love Nest live nearby and are delighted to help their guests plan their excursions, recommend wonderful places to dine or even arrange for a masseuse to attend you after a full day of activities. If the Love Nest is a little too large for your needs, please visit our B&B website for a description of a cozy beach-side apartment located nearby.
