Luxury waterfront home on high bluff. Gorgeous views of ocean and sunsets.

Located just 3 miles from Port Townend and nestled between the woods and the ocean, this lovely storybook home sits atop a high bluff facing the Pacific Ocean. The beautifully designed interior is a mix of modern, mid-century and art deco furniture – a perfect balance of modern style and traditional comfort. Gorgeous artwork has been thoughtfully placed throughout the house. There are spectacular views of the water and sunsets from almost every room. This home is here for friends and family and for rest and relaxation.

The first floor presents an open floorplan. The living room contains two large sofas and a comfortable lounge chair that surround a soapstone wood stove for chilly nights.

The spacious kitchen contains a 2023 Viking gas stove, high end cookware and is generously stocked with a Bosch mixer, a rice cooker, blender, waffle maker, One Pot, etc. A full pantry with spices, oils, vinegars and other essentials is there to get you started.

The dining area has a Madrona dining table with two additional leaves and can seat eight people comfortably. Bedrooms are all furnished with premium mattresses and high thread count organic sheets and linens. The bedrooms are beautifully appointed and have cozy chairs should you wish to retreat with a tablet or book. Three of the bedrooms have wonderful water views and the last bedroom has a view of the forest and of the front yard.

The upstairs entertainment room features a 65-inch smart TV with ultra-high definition and a premium sound bar. There is a vintage game table in the nook with classic games such as Scrabble and Monopoly as well as modern and contemporary games. The game cart contains puzzles for all ages. The entertainment room also features a library spanning an 18-foot wall.

Radiant heat warms the first floor and both bathrooms. The second floor contains a heat pump/air conditioning unit. Individual radiators are in each of the bedrooms for additional warmth.

The yard has a circular fence enclosing the house. A large lawn beyond it extends all the way to the bluff. Multiple seats are located at the top of the bluff allowing an extended and relaxing view of the ocean. A teak picnic table rests within the fence as well as a deluxe hammock wide enough for two.

For exercise, 80 acres of preserved woodland are located a three-minute walk past the driveway. We have also installed a new Peloton bike for those who operate at a faster pace. Yoga and meditation classes are available through the Smart TV and through the Peloton bike. Yoga mats are provided.

Due to proximity to a high bluff, heavy breakables and new carpeting, this home is not child friendly.

Our group of 75 year old long time friends was a great way to get together again in person rather than over Zoom. We enjoyed the view, the kitchen, rooms and the use of a beautiful home for a week as our headquarters. When not out visiting the local points of interest such as Ft. Wordon, we played cards, monopoly, etc on the large dining room table and the extra chairs in the laundry room. Great place to gather and support exploring nearby restaurants.

Beautiful home with an amazing view!
Arriving at Perch on the Bluff was like being greeted by big hug! Their home is beautiful, spacious and offers all amenities anyone could possibly need. Live entertainment is provided by the wild life, especially birds of various species! Sitting by the water and enjoying the view over the bluff is a great way to relax and unwind. Thank you Michelle for being such a gracious host- I can't wait to return again!

Perfect haven
What a joy it was to stay here. Amazing communication and help from the owners and everything we could possibly think that we needed was provided. The property itself is gorgeous and sitting on the bluff watching the sunset in the seating provided it was a joy each evening. We even saw a bald eagle. My family voted that we would like to just move in this peaceful retreat and not go home. Thank you so much for a fabulous stay…. We 100% hope to back!

Beautiful home, beautiful property!
This is the type of home you walk into just say "wow" as it is beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen as others have said is great and we appreciated the welcome treats in the fridge and fresh peaches on the counter. Loved seeing all the birds at the feeders outside the kitchen window. We enjoyed sitting on the bluff in the swing and watching the ship traffic and sunset as well. It would be nice to stay extra days and just browse the great book collection and watch DVDs. Overall a great experience.

Exquisite location and fabulous house
This is an exceptional property: the location is great- close in to town and overlooking the strait of Juan de Fuca. We saw seals, otters, eagles and whales! The house is well appointed and comfortable. And the kitchen is fabulous! We were in town for our daughter’s wedding, and were able to have our family together in this lovely house and setting. The owners are lovely and responsible- and made sure we were comfortable and well cared for. I HIGHLY recommend this property!

Great home and location
The pictures do not do this property justice. It is wonderful. The rooms are awesome, the view is breathtaking. The gps was a little off on the location but once we figured it out we had no issues. We did not need the air conditioning while we were there. We just opened windows and the breeze cleared out the warm air. This was a perfect location near my brother’s home. We had a wonderful stay and a great visit. Thank you!

What a lovely place!
Our small book group enjoyed the spaciousness of the house and the thoughtful attention to detail the owner provided--slippers at the door, a well-stocked pantry and kitchen with all the necessities, even a welcome basket with goodies. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. But the setting may be the best part, with the property tucked away just a few miles from PT on a bluff overlooking the strait. We enjoyed watching the deer, which seemed to appear every evening, and a bird feeder, which attracted many birds, chipmunks, and native Douglas squirrels. It was so quiet and peaceful to sit in the chairs overlooking the water.

Lovely House
This is a very nice clean house on a bluff overlooking the Salish Sea. I was really impressed by the pantry. It was the most generous and stocked pantry I have ever come across. All the spices and supplies needed to support cooking your own meal was there. The cookware was very high quality and there gas stove was wonderful to cook on. The hosts provide a welcome basket with snacks and drinks. It was a quite a nice surprise. The yard was well kept with lots of birds ate the feeder and deer wandering around outside the fence. I gave it a 4 of 5 on location as the house is on the end of a .8 mile long gravel road. However the view of the sunset from the bluff was wonderful.

Nice house
Great property and lovely setting. Only complaint is that the thermostats in the house didn't seem to work. The house was v hot when we arrived and when we tried to turn the heat down the themostat dial wouldn't register a temp. We opened windows which worked. Also, there is only one bathroom for 3 bedrooms upstairs and the larger bath is downstairs w/just one bedroom near it. Overall a v nice house however.

Gorgeous Secluded Property
Usually photos online look better than the actual property. In this case, the photos did not do the home and property justice. Beautifully decorated and maintained home, very comfortable beds, linens and towels. Plenty of closet space and kitchen was more than well-stocked. The view from the house over the water was magnificent. We wish it had been a bit warmer so we could have been outside listening to the waves with a glass of wine.

Thanksgiving - 4 days
Probably the most beautiful VRBO I've ever stayed in, in terms of the quality of building construction, interior design, & abundant art. We loved having a big, well-stocked kitchen for multiple cooks to work together whipping up our Thanksgiving meal. Appreciated having 4 adult-sized bedrooms (plus extra space) for our group of 8, and a dining table that fit all of us. It is bigger than it looks in the photos.
