Wopnderfully appointed and supplied home was super comfortable and large enough for our group of 7 to spread out. The patio and hottub were a delight. So close to the Olympic NP visitor center with easy access to roads, restaurants, and grocery. We couldn't have enjoyed it more!

Our family of 9 had a fantastic stay at this beautiful rental, from the moment we walked in! The amazing ocean view from the great room and kitchen took our breath away. We had everything we needed to make yummy meals, play in the backyard, relax in the hot tub, and have comfortable nights sleeping. The location was perfect for exploring the wonders of the Olympic peninsula. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this beautiful property..

The house was really great with cozy furnishings and beds, all the amenities you could need including a fully-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the guide books and a puzzle during our down time. The backyard was protected from the wind with a nice courtyard and hot tub, with access to a lush green space just beyond the gate. The sound system was easy to navigate and added significant fun to our friend vacation. Overall I would highly recommend this place and would go back if given the chance!

Wonderful trip celebrating Mom's 80th bday! Great location to explore Olympic NP. Plenty of room for everyone, indoors and out. Best stocked kitchen of any short-term rental we've EVER stayed at.

An Amazing View!!

This beautiful home has everything one can need. The view of the water withe the mountains in the back is amazing. We had breakfast to this in the morning and watched the sunset in the evening. Plenty big for our 6 adults and 2 children. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our dinners and the outside yard was a big hit with the kids. They even have a swing set!!! The home was very clean and quiet at night. The hot tub was great after a long days hiking. Can’t say enough about this home!! Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Gigi, Property manager

Host profile image
Amelia grew up in Port Angeles and after meeting her husband in California they wanted to move back to this small town to raise their daughter and be close to grandparents. Our jobs have taken us back to California but, we hope to return to Port Angeles so are keeping Alder Street Retreat as a vacation rental and in the future as a retirement home for our family.

Why they chose this property

The waterview at Alder Street Retreat is impressive but, we really fell in love with the large, private backyard. We love to entertain and relax in our home and the flow from the kitchen to the backyard is so easy and convenient. Beyond the large backyard gate is the Sanctuary where you can pitch a tent or even bushwhack down into the ravine to explore. Behind the backyard fence is also a shortcut trail to Peninsula College, passed the blackberry bushes. Within a few minutes are trails behind Peninsula College into old growth forest and world-class birding. Walking to the Community Playhouse, the Fine Arts Center, our daughter's elementary school, and more, make this such a convenient location to get around without a car.

What makes this property unique

1) HOME COOK'S DREAM KITCHEN AND EASE OF ENTERTAINING: In addition to its great location, Alder Street Retreat is equipped with a home chef's dream kitchen. Upstairs seamlessly flows into the backyard with courtyard doors from the living room, hallway, and master bedroom. 2) WATERVIEW WITH PROTECTION FROM NORTH FACING WINDS: The backyard faces south bringing lots of sun into private backyard entertaining and relaxing, while also enjoying the water view through the windows facing north and also while protected from the north facing wind. This wind protection is a unique benefit of Alder Street Retreat because many north facing waterview homes in Port Angeles have their patios facing north, which means wind, shade, and cold. There is a huge temperature difference between the front of the house versus this home's backyard. As you're shopping for vacation rentals in Port Angeles, keep this in mind!! It is one of the many unique benefits of Alder Street Retreat, which will make your stay so much more enjoyable and comfortable! 3) DOWNSTAIRS PRIVACY: The downstairs is equipped with a family room (large flat screen TV), full bath, kids playroom, extra sleeping blankets, pillows etc, and entrance from the carport. Downstairs offers desired privacy for teenagers or when sharing with multiple families. 4) THE SANCTUARY: The private sanctuary, just behind the backyard, is a perfect spot for you to enjoy a picnic or bring a tent and enjoy your own private campsite!
