You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

PORTHOLE: Private, Peaceful with a locked patio for relaxing and bikes.

Sorry about this, but the "SMALL PRINT" needs to come first"

PLEASE NOTE: There are NO provisions for cooking. Keurig, hot water pot, microwave - that's all. Occupants are limited to two total. Undeclared additional guests are charged at $100 per per guest per night including children of any age or any type of animal - charged through VRBO as an "additional guest", due immediately.

There is one security camera focused on the interior portion of the outside entrance door in order to ensure security integrity of the apartment.

Use of the general property is limited to the Porthole's dedicated outside patio and does not include the rest of the grounds. The Park in front of our house offers a convenient place to smoke if needed. (Smoking is not allowed in the apartment or the attached patio area. The property is not 420 friendly). This is a basement apartment. The center floor is occupied by the owners and their Bordoodle Pup. They endeavor to be quiet when the Porthole is in use.... However, you will, unavoidably, hear footsteps and limited sound and and occasionally barking from "Winnie". (If this is a concern for you, you should not rent this apartment.)

There is a construction project in the neighborhood extending through Spring of 2026. During this time, parking will occasionally be more of a challenge.

NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF
the apartment is the best three- room "motel suite" in the county - (minus the motel..... we checked). You will love the privacy with the outside covered patio. It's perfect for storing your bicycles. PORTHOLE is great hideaway for a good nights sleep in the King sized bed. Explore the wonders of Port Angeles and the Olympic National Park. The apartment is a short walk to downtown, the Olympic Discovery Trail, two markets, a Starbucks, the Coho Ferry and the Field Performing Arts Center. Your hosts, Amy and Brent, are eager to make sure your stay is the very best. COME AND SEE.

For larger groups (up to 10) check out our other two units on our property; OAK ALLEY - vrbo.com/3625064, and Chez ZigZag - vrbo.com/375934. Both are listed through VRBO and can be reserved separately, Groups reserving all three have access to the rest of the property (not including your hosts living area)

Great rental and location

This rental was perfect for our stay to visit the National Park. The unit was tastefully decorated and stocked with needed items. It's walking distance from many good restaurants. The binder provided by the hosts is full of good information on dining, activities, and other items.

Clean and comfortable little apartment

The Porthole had everything I needed for. 4 night stay - a comfortable clean bed, lovely little bathroom, and a little kitchenette for morning coffee. Location was ideal (just walk down the zigzag ramp for access to downtown), and parking and entry/exit was easy and private. I was even able to work on my laptop outside on the deck in complete privacy with my coffee in the mornings!Lovely stay! Would do it again!

We had a delightful stay in the cozy and comfortable Porthole. The check in was a breeze and we found everything we could possibly need in this both well appointed and supplied fun space. The bathroom has great lighting, super nice shower, and lots of towels:) The covered patio was a relaxing spot for lunch, the bench on the front lawn provided a great spot to watch sunset and enjoy the water views, and the zig zag path in front of the house provided the perfect walk to and from town. We had excellent communication with the hosts. In response to a need we had, they were very prompt and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return to explore more of the area one day.
