About this property
Harts Desire Serene Getaway with Water Views
Summary:
Large 3 Bedroom/2 Bath home, Sleeps 8, tranquil retreat
The Space:
Located 12 miles west of Port Angeles on Freshwater Bay. Great Location in the Countryside! Easy access to the western side of the Olympic Peninsula. Perfect location for solitude, with fresh air, gorgeous views and 5 acres of nature.
This magical place has deep roots in the area. Cleared and settled in or around 1900 by a gentlemen named Howard Hart who was born in Port Crescent, Washington Territory in 1880. He proceeded to plant fruit trees on the property that are now over 100 years old. The gorgeous views of Freshwater Bay and the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the home feature spectacular sunsets.
Comfort and plush quality furnishings await you. The owner's have done a lovely job of outfitting their home. Wonderful linens, and a Chef's kitchen with everything you will need for preparing your meals. Cable TV/DVD & free WIFI.
Important note before you book: Guests are required to complete the Check-In Form provided by Brigadoon Vacation Rentals as a mandatory step to finalize their reservation. To ensure a smooth check-in process, a valid government-issued photo ID must be attached to the form.
Out of respect for guests with allergies, our home is strictly pet free. Sorry, no pets allowed, no exceptions.
A discount of 10% off for 6-9 nights and 15% off for 10 nights or more will automatically apply at booking. If you booked via Airbnb, the discount will already be included in the price and will not show as a separate deduction. For longer stays between 21-28 nights, we'll set up a mid-stay cleaning free of charge, and an additional $260 non-refundable fee will be applied to cover up to $3,000 in damage insurance, ensuring peace of mind during your extended stay.
Great family location for mountain biking, and kayaking, plus a private pedestrian beach access road where you will enjoy an incredible unspoiled beach for beach combing. The beach is ever changing with parts being sandy, cobbled and rocky.
Birder's, you will spot an ever changing inventory of our little feathered friends. Wonderful scenery for photography and journaling. Sea kayaking is also an option to enjoy at Freshwater Bay, either bring your own or rent them in Port Angeles to use during your stay.
Make Hart's Desire a destination for you and your friends, as once there, you will not want to leave.
Note that the Wifi connection could be spotty due to the location of the property.
12 minutes to Salt Creek Rec Area, where you can picnic on the flat beach, launch a kayak or go tide pooling.
4 minutes from Freshwater Bay to enjoy fishing, boating, crabbing, birdwatching, and picnicking.
13 minutes from Elwha River for wildlife viewing and boating.
Guest Access:
Arrival and entry information will be emailed to you 1-2 days before your arrival.
