The Sun House at Freshwater Bay: Oceanfront

The Sun House at Freshwater Bay.

Come enjoy the Sun House at Freshwater Bay. Situated oceanfront in Washington’s most beautiful no-bank beach community, the Sun House is the perfect place to unwind from city life. Listen to ocean swell endlessly grooming the river rock and sand beach from your second story accommodation. Taste the salt air, and let your stress melt away.

Look west, out to the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Pacific Ocean, then let your eyes follow the distant shore of Vancouver Island, past Victoria, and the San Juan Islands, to the marvelous peaks of the North Cascades. In summer, the sun streaks across the sky, warming the beach and illuminating the offshore commercial shipping traffic, before finally setting over the glistening ocean horizon.

It’s a short stroll down the beach to the mouth of the Elwha River. Here Coho and Chinook salmon offer the viewer and angler seasonal delight. With the rhythmic cycle of the salmon, come bald eagles, a plethora of seabirds, and river otters. If you get lucky, catch the Orcas playing out front, or more commonly spot herring balls, sea lions, and seals fulfilling their roles within the unique coastal ecosystem.

For those who come for recreation, the opportunities are limitless. From mountain biking and sailing, to hiking, mountaineering and fishing, the greater Port Angeles area has an amazing variety of activities at your fingertips. Widely known among surfers for having the best point breaks in Washington State, the Elwa River mouth is prone to deliver when tide and swell align in harmony. On more mellow days, enjoy Kayaking, Tide Pools, and exploring the many miles of beach to your heart’s content.

Only 15 minutes away, the Olympic National Park stands in awesome splendor. From glaciers to rainforests, the park is truly one of a kind. In winter, enjoy downhill and Nordic skiing at Hurricane Ridge. When the summer rolls around, enjoy thousands of miles of hiking routes through protected wilderness, or simply drop by Lake Crescent for a swim in perhaps the most beautiful lake in the continental United States.

Approach the property via Place Road, as it switches back past the mouth of the Elwha River, narrowing, then snaking amongst the storm swept cedars. Weave past a handful of beach houses to your private getaway. You will know you found paradise the second you arrive.

The Sun House is 1196 square feet of beachfront fun. It encompasses the top half of the house, as the bottom half is a separate space and not included in the rental. Completed in 2005, the new construction features massive weather pane windows, vaulted ceilings, hardwood countertops, and a gorgeous river rock gas fireplace. Every room in the house has unstoppable views out over the Strait of Juan de Fuca and 100 feet of low bank frontage. In the evenings, enjoy a glass of wine on the huge hardwood deck, or set out a romantic dinner of fresh crab.

Please note: Renters must be comfortable with a tall staircase to enjoy this property, but the view is worth the climb.

Breath taking views
The pictures and descriptions do not do justice to the views from this home. The views are absolutely spectacular. The home itself was clean and had many upgraded amenities. Very nice toaster, Keurig coffee maker and a very nicely stocked coffee bar. We had typical Washington weather during our stay. It was absolutely pouring buckets of rain when we arrived and a mixed bag of clearing and high winds during the next two days. Didn't matter, it was mesmerizing through it all. If you want a peaceful, beautiful stay, you won't be you won't be disappointed. Not to mention there are a lot of excellent restaurants located in Port Angeles. I'm sure we will be returning.

Excellent location with incredible views of the straits. Easy to get to and centrally located close to town and Olympic. We used the home for base camp while taking day trips. Perfect for that. Very comfortable for the four of us. Will highly recommend for our size group. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Fabulous house, unparalleled view
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this comfortable, well-appointed house. You can’t ask for a better setting or location, which is not far from downtown Port Angeles and a 25-minute drive to Lake Crescent. We appreciated the serenity, the spectacular view, and the gorgeous sunsets. The comfort of the house was an added bonus. Do not pass up the opportunity to stay here!

Wonderful near Olympic National
Serene. View better than expected. Quiet. Only note, when temp was over 75, there are only two windows in the house. Doors don’t have screens. But when temp was below 75, it was all comfortable. Two bedrooms, queens, one bath. Would stay again.

Pacific paradise
Staying at Jacque's place was a delight. Clear communication, great recommendations and quick reply to any questions; comfy beds; easy access in and out using keyless entry; every supply that you may need provided (and more). Extra bonus that we had sunshine every day while at the "Sunshine House" to enjoy just sitting watching the ocean and sunsets on the deck or beach after a day exploring Olympic National Park. We had a great experience in every way; Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

Otters!
We wanted otters, and they were feeding in the water just offshore when we arrived. And each day we were there. The location is wonderful. The house is very pleasant and functional and the vistas are eye-popping. You won't regret booking the Sun House.

Amazing Stay!
Our family spent our 1st Christmas in the PNW here and it was wonderful. The views from the house were amazing. To be right on the beach, and be able to see and hear the waves crashing was so nice and relaxing. The house was clean, cozy and had a perfect set up with everything you could possibly need. Thank you for sharing your home with us. :)
