About this property

Lazy Bear Retreat - Peaceful & Relaxing - Reconnect with the Beauty of Nature

Enjoy the breathtaking water views of cargo ships sailing by on the Juan de Fuca Strait between the U.S. & Canada from our large windows in the living & entertainment rooms, then, simply turn towards the dining room for majestic views of Mt. Olympus & the Olympic mountain range. Almost 2,000 sq. ft. updated custom built home with big bedrooms & an open floor plan, in a quiet, peaceful area is the perfect setting for memorable year round vacations with your family or close-knit group of friends.

Peace and relaxation is what you will become accustomed to once here. We currently have 4 large bedrooms, one being an entertainment room with a Smart TV (and our Netflix Account Access), games & books and 2 bathrooms that can accommodate 8 guests in two Kings (one can become two twins upon request) and two Queens. Windows in each bedroom are positioned perfectly so you can enjoy the beautiful views when waking up and during those cozy evening!

Once there, you’ll walk up our beautiful deck on the back entrance of our home. Come on in, the bold colors and contemporary design have meshed elegantly, creating a warmth and charm that you will never forget and look forward to returning to in the future.

Each room has plenty of natural light and each bedroom is fitted with individual baseboard heaters so you can keep it perfectly climate controlled to your satisfaction. We have everything you will need including a washing machine/dryer and a kitchen with all the necessary appliances & accessories so you can prepare a delightful home-cooked meal.

There is much to explore in our surrounding area. The narrow, antiquated roads are compacted gravel, easy to walk along and free of traffic. Walk the private roads, take a stroll to the seaside cliffs, ride a bike around. Our neighborhood is absolutely void of sound pollution. It is a prefect escape to get in touch with the sounds of nature.

After a fun day of outdoor activities, you can settle in for an evening with a delightfully home cooked meal, family board games, a movie on the flat screen TV or some music for light-hearted entertainment.

One of the best features of our home is its location for nearby activities. It is a short drive to the Dungeness Preserve & Trail head to the world famous Dungeness Spit & Lighthouse. It is also a couple miles from the Cline Spit & Olympic Games Farm.

If you're feeling adventurous there are a couple great opportunities for day trips. Approximately 15 miles west, venture to the road up to Hurricane Ridge, from Port Angeles. This is in the heart of the Olympic National Park and you will undoubtedly experience some of the most beautiful views the world has to offer and beautiful hiking trails in all of the world. Hurricane Ridge is also a wonderful location for winter activities as well...Skiing, Sledding & most importantly - SNOW BALL FIGHTS!

About an hour or so from Hurricane Ridge is Lake Cresent (Glacier Blue Waters) & another easy hike to Marymere Falls. Close to here is also Sol Duc Falls and the Hot Springs...all of it a must see and do.

A drive to Cape Flattery, the north western most region of the US, and a short, easy hike will take you to amazing view on the cliffs and of the Pacific Ocean crashing into the sea caves!

Sequim is also home to many nationally acclaimed Lavender Farms as well as U-Pick farms and if you come in the spring and early summer, you will see that our Lavender fields are on par with the fields in the South of France…all this, right here in our section of the US.

Escape to the Olympic Peninsula, take full advantage of everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer!

No smoking of any type on our property.

5 day stay near Port Angeles

We spent 5 nights at this property and had plenty of room to hang out together after spending our days exploring the area. The kitchen was well equipped and we prepared dinner most evenings.Highlights for us were exploring and hiking in Olympic National Park, spending a day in Victoria, BC (ferry), as well as a relaxing afternoon at nearby Olympic Cellars winery. We hope to be back!

Great place to stay on the Olympic Peninsula

We really enjoyed the house and the quiet setting. It was the perfect location for us to visit family in Sequim over the holidays and easily able to visit Olympic National Park. The four bedrooms were all good size and more than we needed. Also, the large yard is great. We would definitely stay here again.

Wow, what can I say. We spent two nights at this property while attending my brother-in-law's celebration of life This house was large enough to accommodate our family and was just a few minutes from our relatives. This house is old and showing wear, and would benefit from some serious updates - broken blinds, dirty microwave, ancient coffeemaker with a dirty warmer, kitchen faucet sprayer drooping, faint odor of tobacco, freezing cold when we arrived, and the living room heat did not turn on. Heat was provided by wall units in rooms, so it was difficult to get even heat. There were no towels in the bathrooms, but we did find some in the hallway, and discovered others in the clothes dryer. The washer did not work. When I contacted the host, he did schedule a maintenance person, but by then we had checked out. I had to contact him to get the door code. The description of the bedrooms needs editing. One bedroom has one king bed OR two twins that can be pushed together to make a king. The mattresses and bedding were ok. Overall, it was a disappointing rental.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Apr, 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us during an important time for your family. We’re glad the home’s size and location worked well for your needs. We also want to provide some additional context for future guests. The home is accurately represented in our listing photos, and we’ve made a number of updates over time. While it is not a newly built property, it is maintained to provide a comfortable, relaxing and functional stay. Many of our returning guests, some of whom stay with us year after year, have been very pleased with the updates and overall experience. Cleanliness is a top priority for us, and we consistently maintain near 5-star cleanliness ratings across both VRBO and Airbnb. The concerns mentioned regarding the microwave and coffee area are not typical, and we’ve reinforced our housekeeping checks to ensure better consistency moving forward. The note regarding a blind appears to be a minor wear-and-tear item that was not identified during turnover. As with any such items, it is addressed promptly once brought to our attention. We maintain a strict no-smoking policy, and the home is inspected after every stay. Any reported odor will always be taken seriously and reviewed. If anything is ever noticed during a stay, we encourage guests to let us know right away so we can address it promptly. The home uses individual room heating units in addition to ductless mini splits, which allow guests to control temperatures by space. Many guests prefer this setup, though preferences can vary. Our goal is to leave the temperature at a comfortable level on check in days. The note regarding towels being in the dryer appears to have been an oversight during turnover, and we’ve addressed this internally. When the washer was brought to our attention, we offered same-day service that evening; however, it was scheduled for the following morning based on guest preference. We always aim to resolve any maintenance concerns as quickly as possible during a stay. Access instructions are provided in advance to ensure a smooth check-in experience. The bedroom configuration is intentionally designed for flexibility, allowing either a king setup or two twin beds depending on guest needs. We appreciate the feedback and will continue focusing on delivering a reliable and comfortable experience for our guests.

We loved our stay at Lazy Bear Retreat house... it was perfect for our group of 5 .. 3 adults and 2 kids. Lots of space inside and out for the kids, and the kitchen/dining/living area was wonderful for hanging in the morning and evening, enjoying mountain views one direction and the Straits of Juan de Fuca in the other.

What a great stay! Seeing deer and mountains in the morning while drinking coffee and planning our day was wonderful. The location is great for visiting the Dungeness Spit, the Olympic National Park and the Hoh Rain Forest to name just a few places we enjoyed.

House is nicely laid out. A note by kitchen faucet about water being sort of brown when you first turn on would have been nice. If cleaners would have checked breadboards for cleaning. Also instructions for running heater heads and check tv remote if it works and replaced batteries, we lucky had some with us. Deer’s morning and evening were a nice bonus.

About the host

Hosted by Vipul Chitania

Host profile image
We are fun loving, friendly and hoping to share our home with you when we are not able to enjoy it ourselves during the year. We both grew up in Southern California, went through school & primarily reside there. We love any opportunity to make a quick trip to to Sequim with our family as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

This property was custom built by my wife's grandparents. We have the original plans, images of them trenching, digging, laying foundation, putting up framework, hammering, etc. It is wonderful. We absolutely love that this house is away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Just waking up to the sounds of nature, the beautiful views and surrounding area make us want to fast forward to when we can move here permanently! But in the meantime, why not share and make a few extra dollars to help pay the mortgage.

What makes this property unique

It's absolutely peaceful. The mountain views are breathtaking. The water views are enchanting. The wildlife that wanders along is beautiful. On occasion, you can see Bald Eagles hanging out or flying by. On the clear nights, look up - you will see more stars than you can imagine. With a standard set of binoculars, you can even see the Drops of Jupiter that are normally hidden to the naked eye. Even better, get your eyes acclimated to the dark and even more appears. Look for "Falling Stars." With perfect conditions, we've been told we can get a light glimpse of the Aurora Borealis. We haven't seen it in person yet, but it is always on the target when we are here.
