Undeclared additional guests are charged at $100 per person, per night, charged through VRBO as "additional guest" and due immediately.

The apartment and general grounds are SMOKE FREE and are not 420 friendly. There are four living units in this property. Due to their proximity, Quiet Times are from 10PM to 7AM.

NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF. Chez ZigZag is an upstairs apartment accessed from 204 S Oak St. It has a delightful view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca , Victoria, B.C., Mt. Baker and assorted ocean going vessels. The activity of the harbor is always changing. Over 60 different types of boats and ships can be seen regularly.

"Chez" (pronounced "shay") is French for "at the home of", and "ZigZag" is derived from the locally named ‘zigzag’ walkway that connects the home to the downtown area. Chez ZigZag is within easy walking distance of: downtown and an excellent organic grocery "Country Aire", Field Arts And Event Center, and Safeway / Starbucks, the Coho Ferry and Hollywood Beach/ Discovery Trail head. Downtown also boasts a wide variety of excellent restaurants - all just a short walk away.

Guests have access to either the front patio with its clear "Dome-a-cile", the rear covered patio in the back, and the Sauna. Chez ZigZag offers a memorable home away from home, stocked with everything you could want or need for a wonderful visit to Port Angeles. The owners live on the main level and are eager to make sure your stay is the very best. Why stay anywhere else! Come and see.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chez ZigZag! The host was very nice and around if we needed him. The view was amazing and a quiet neighborhood. We walked everywhere when not out doing the touristy things like taking the ferry to Victoria, and going to Mount Olympic National Park! A great stay.... wish it could have been longer!

I think this is our fifth time to stay at Chez Zigzag, starting in 2013 and we love the hospitality of the owners, the views from the rooms (including from the shower), the convenience of the location and the furnishings including some nice artwork and interesting other pieces. They keep adding to and improving the property and it is certainly one of the best places to stay in Port Angeles. Also recommend the Country Aire grocery store very near by.

Loved staying at Chez ZigZag! It was such a beautiful property. Amy & Brent were perfect hosts. The apartment was even better than the pictures. We loved the location for walkable access to downtown via the zigzag path. We shopped at the market at the bottom of the path and ate at a wonderful Italian restaurant recommended by our hosts. It was a great location to access Olympic National Park as well. Such a cozy place and the front and back yard were so inviting. We made a fire in the outdoor fireplace and enjoyed the night view of the port. Amazing stay and we hope to return!

Beautiful View- Great Location

My son and i stayed here 2 nights while exploring Olympic. The location made it easy to drive into the park and also walk downtown. The kitchen was well stocked and also had a beautiful view! We loved their patio and fire at night. We'd stay here again and stay longer. The hosts were amazing and extremely helpful!

My husband and I travel frequently and stay in private homes whenever possible. We would rate Chez Zig Zag in our top three. The host has provided everything you could possibly need or want. The accommodations are well designed and decorated. I loved the light-filled rooms especially the kitchen and bath. We loved it so much that we cancelled our planned day trip to Victoria so we could enjoy the surroundings.

This is an amazing property! We stayed in Zigzag (the upstairs area). The views were beautiful and we had plenty of room. Brent and Amy were just wonderful and very welcoming. The sauna was a real treat! Plus, the property is within walking distance of downtown and a wonderful grocery store. Next time I come to Port Angeles, I will definitely stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Amy or Brent Powell

Host profile image
Amy and Brent are both active Realtors with BROKERSGROUP Realty in Sequim WA. Both are regular cyclists and enjoy e-biking around the North Olympic Peninsula. Living here has been a blessing to them. They look forward to sharing the wonders of Port Angeles and the North Olympic Peninsula with their guests.
After living all over the USA, they've decided this is the best place of all. The natural beauty of the surroundings and the friendly people are delightful. Amy grew up in Pennsylvania, Brent in Southern Oregon. They have four grown children and four grand kids. They've now been married for 43 wonderful years and look forward to many more.
They live on the main floor and are available should a special need arise. They may, occasionally, be using either one of the two patios, or be maintaining other aspects of the property, but will endeavor to do this when Guests are not present when possible.

Why they chose this property

The Powells stumbled into a vacation rental. The home they purchased came with a separate apartment upstairs. The renters moved out and they spent the next 4 months remodeling the apartment. Amy did the designing, Brent and hired professionals did the rest.
They are excited to offer it to visitors to the North Olympic Peninsula. "If we came to Port Angeles looking for a vacation rental, this is the one we would pick. It is luxurious, and centrally located with easy access to just about everything." Chez ZigZag provides a peaceful retreat that can't be beat. Come and see. You won't be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

We were attracted to our home by the fact it had been solidly and well constructed and remained in original condition. Best of all there had been no mediocre, ill conceived, home owner remodels to correct... it was a blank canvas. What you see now took several years, financial commitment and many craftsmen's hours to accomplish. We are excited to share it with you.
