Hosts are wonderful and so helpful with tips on traveling in the area. We appreciated the advice, especially about needing to be early for Hoh as well as the time of day for low tide.Highly recommend!
This was a wonderful stay. The property itself is a hidden gem in port Angeles, surrounded by forests, with ocean view from living room and dining room. It’s also very convenient to explore Olympic national park from the property.Maureen and Joe were amazing hosts. They came to the property for in-person checked and toured us around the house. Maureen also gave valuable tips on planning travels and exploring nearby regions.Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to this area!
My friend and I planned a hiking trip to Olympic with half our stay in Port Angeles. Maureen & Joe opened their beautiful home to us and we enjoyed every moment…from the beautiful sunsets to the sounds of the ocean to watching the ships pass through the Strait. If you are looking for a location near Olympic Park and also close to downtown Port Angeles but also want quiet and privacy, this is the house to stay at! Maureen & Joe were a fount of information and shared the ‘must do’s’ of the area. I hope to come back again soon!!
We stayed as a launching point for Olympic National Park and we couldn't have had a better place. The house has lovely architecture, the views of the sea are incredible, and Maureen and Joe were very helpful with their advice about the town and park.
Awesome value on this rental house over looking the strait of Juan de Fuca. Super clean, awesome great room with panoramic views, gas fireplace and comfortable seating. Has to be one of the best values in Port Angeles. Which we stayed longer.
We loved our stay! Maureen & Joe we’re very helpful! The location is perfect for exploring the Olympic Peninsula. We were there for 4 nights and wished we had stayed longer. Everything was perfect!!
Maureen’s childhood home was the perfect place to stay during our trip to visit Olympic National Park. The ocean view is spectacular! We enjoyed watching the cruise ships come through the strait.
This was our first time staying at Joe & Maureen's Port Angeles rental. Highly recommend this place for the excellent views and proximity to the various attractions in Olympic National Park (Hurricane Ridge, Sul Duc falls, etc.). Joe & Maureen greeted us and gave us a tour of the home and shared with us tips on what to see and where to ear. Definitely will come and stay here again.
We had a relaxing and wonderful stay at Joe and Maureen's place. It was wonderful to disconnect from our electronic worlds and connect with friends in family in this beautiful home that feels like a museum. It's a very tranquil setting with amazing sunsets. We hope to be back soon!
Awesome home. Wonderfully mid-century even with Mid-century musical selections to enjoy during dinner.
Wonderful couple who are the owners, very nice and helpful!
The views from the house and backyard are amazing and this is the perfect home base to explore Olympic National park. Great hosts welcome you into this incredibly unique rental that is also full of information about the Olympic Peninsula.
View from the back yard is absolutely stunning! What a blessing to wake up in such a beautiful environment! Sunsets & sunrise…couldn’t take enough pictures. Kitchen & living set up was just what we “needed”
This was our second, stay at this house. It did not disappoint. Wonderful atmosphere and a perfect view. Highly recommend.

Perfect place for a girls’ getaway with gorgeous views and wonderful hospitality! WiFi and cable was NOT missed! Everything was clean, comfy and well stocked. We are looking forward to returning soon!
We had a great time at Maureen and Joe's place! The location was great, with easy access to the park, great food options nearby, and beautiful ocean views. The house itself was very comfortable, and Maureen and Joe were very responsive and flexible when we had to shift around our plans a little bit. I definitely recommend their home for your trip to Olympic!
Staying at Maureen’s childhood home felt like staying in a Frank Lloyd Wright house. With expansive windows, a secluded location, surrounding trees and rhododendrons, and a marvelous water view, the well furnished mid century modern home is a treasure.
First time in this part of the country and could not have picked a better place for location, view, privacy and accommodations. We will be back!!
Thank you, Joe & Maureen
