About this house rental

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.

    Property was well suited to our needs. There was plenty of space for my children, wife and in-laws. The setting was peaceful, relaxing, and accessible. I would stay here again if my family returns to the OP.

    We had a great stay at this home while exploring the Olympic Peninsula. The view outside is excellent, and the house had plenty of space for our group of 4. We were also easily able to drive to Port Angeles in 15-20 minutes to get food and could easily get around to Lake Crescent and Hurricane Ridge. We would definitely stay here again.

    We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home with stunning ocean views. The peaceful surroundings, combined with the sound of waves and birds each morning, made for a truly relaxing retreat. The home was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a washer, dryer, and dishwasher that worked perfectly.Its central location was ideal for exploring Olympic National Park, with Port Angeles just a short 15-minute drive away for groceries and supplies. We also loved visiting Salt Creek Recreation Area, only 10 minutes away, where we soaked in breathtaking coastal views.The host was responsive and accommodating, ensuring everything was seamless throughout our stay. If you're looking for a serene getaway with all the comforts of home, this is the perfect spot. We’d gladly stay here again!

    we went to Port Angeles from Texas to meet our new grandson. We wanted to rent a home, so that we could all stay there and spend quality time with each other since we live over 1,000.00 miles away. The home was so beautiful, the beds was so comfortable we didn't even want to get up. The scenery of the ocean was beautiful. There was a hummingbird that was there every day. The weather was awesome compared to the heat in Texas. Wished we could of stay there longer. I would rent this house again.... love love love this house!!

    The interior was homey and the floorplan worked well for our stay. Unfortunately, the exterior has been very neglected. The deck and the outside table are so deteriorated that can't be used. The tree branch at the entrance was so overgrown that it was difficult to drive through without scratching my vehicle. This property could be so much more beautiful if more care was given.

    This was a wonderful spacious home in a beautiful private setting with an amazing view ( when the clouds cleared 😃). It made a great base for all of our adventures around the park. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen is huge, and had everything we needed. Just a great place to stay!
