Charming Coastal Hideaway Cozy Crab Shack Retreat

The Crab Shack: 1 bedroom cottage with patio, private beach and huge yard

The Space:
Get your sea air fix at the Crab Shack, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca! This cottage has been newly updated with wood-like vinyl floors, new kitchen, fresh paint in anticipation of converting it to a vacation rental. There is a patio out back with a re-finished picnic bench.

Just a short drive from the heart of Sequim, this rustic and charming cottage is a great place to relax or use as a base to explore the Olympic peninsula. Owned by the same family for generations.

Inside you’ll find one bedroom with a queen bed, a comfortable living room and a kitchen with all you need to make a scrumptious meal. The vinyl-wood floors add that cabin feel to the cottage.  Smart TV & Free wi-fi included.

In the main bedroom, there is a queen size bed. For more than 2 guests, you can use the comfortable pull-out full-size couch / bed in the living room. The kitchen has a full size washer and dryer for your laundry needs. For even more guests, check out "Waters Edge" which is right across the street.

Outside you can sit on the patio to shoot the breeze. There is a huge yard for the kids to play in. Walk straight to the private beach. Beaches in Washington are privately owned. 

Fragrance Free Home: we have supplied the home with unscented products (paper products, dish soap & detergent, clothes detergent, pump soap). Exceptions - shampoo and conditioner and wrapped tiny bar soaps. Our cleaners use fragrance free products.
