Secret Garden - Fabulous views of the Strait from the beach in Dungeness

Fabulous view of the Strait on the beach in Dungeness, WA. Your perfect vacation rental with soothing sounds of a water fountain in your Zen garden. Cozy wood fireplace & private outdoor hot tub!

This home is a gem on the beach in Dungeness. The front yard is a zen garden complete with the soothing sounds of a water fountain. The back yard is equally well landscaped with privacy in mind but still a fabulous view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the deck. Relax in the recently added outdoor hot tub! There are 3 bedrooms, the master offers a king bed, and guest rooms offer queen beds. Additionally, there are two bathrooms. A very comfortable living room with a fireplace (wood supplied) overlooks the Strait. The kitchen/family room has a separate eating area and a couch for relaxing and catching the morning news. This lovely home is waiting for you and your perfect vacation.

Great location, great views, great place!
The Secret Garden proved to be an excellent choice for our friend group and our annual trip. Proximity to great hiking at Olympic and the Dungeness Spit was fantastic. The amenities and space at the house for our group well. Whether it was a hot tub to soothe sore muscles after a long day of hiking, a well stocked kitchen, or the outdoor deck to enjoy the views, the house exceeded our expectations. An outdoor fire pit would have been the only other amenity that we would have liked to have. But overall, a really fantastic place to stay.

The Secret Garden is a charming cottage with lots of outdoor space on the deck with beautiful water views of Victoria Island, and a lovely garden. The house is well stocked with all desired amenities. We cycled everyday on the Olympic Discovery Trail, hiked the Dungeness Spit and other nearby trails. It’s a great place for a relaxing vacation!

Peaceful Garden
We enjoyed our 6 night stay in July 2024. Our family of 7 and two small dogs were very comfortable here and the garden is even more beautiful than pictured. The house is a very well kept vintage 1970’s style with many original decor choices. We enjoyed touring the Olympic Peninsula, especially local farms, and walking in the beach. This is off the beaten track so you’ll need a car to get to shopping, groceries, and restaurants. But the drive is lovely and the house was very relaxing.

Great stay on the coast
Beautiful, comfortable home all on one level (if someone has trouble with stairs). Wonderful deck with clean hot tub right on the water. Home had all the comforts you might want, and the use of the fireplace and one side of the garage which were very nice in the winter! Many natural areas close by for bird watching. Would definitely stay again if coming to Sequim. About 12 minutes drive from downtown Sequim.

Peaceful Oasis
One of the few homes in the area with a true garden and direct garden access to the beach, this was truly an oasis. Even though we were forced to cancel our intended weekend due to illness they allowed us to transfer to a different weekend, that is going above and beyond. Home was very clean with all amenities you need will definitely visit again.

Great Home Base For Exploration
The property and amenities were stellar - we were happy to discover a tub AND bath toys for kiddos, despite the listing only mentioning showers! The sunrises were worth waking for only to go back to bed a bit longer. Sunsets were spectacular! The listed hot tub was huge enough for 4 adults plus kids but ran VERY HOT so we had to leave the lid open a while before we climbed in, the controls wouldn't let us turn it down! The kitchen was well stocked and very functonal but the carpeting in there was hard to keep clean and the scratched-up nonstick pans aren't ideal to cook in so we opted for stainless alternatives. Beach access and combing were fabulous, as were the flowers in the garden! Fortunately we found a present left by a dog before out stay and before we stepped in it. Having a master at the end of the hall next to a second bed/bath and another bed down the hall beside the kitchen was a terrific layout for us. We didn't find the kite in the garage until checkout, so I wish we would have had a binder with tips on making the most of the property! Wifi and tv apps were great, furniture was all in great condition, and we loved the place - it could use some updates but it was a lovely home away from home with all the amenities we needed.

lovely home, beautiful yard
We enjoyed this home very much. It has a lot of character and the view/access to the beach was terrific! Unfortunately, the old carpet throughout the home really needs to be removed. It is stained and drags the house down. The hot tub was green with algae and the gas grill was rusted and non functional. The owner is planning to fix those items immediately however. Oh and last thing - the water pressure in the showers is WONDERFUL!

Quiet neighborhood on the shores of Juan de Fuca. Easy access to Sequim and State Parks, that where better than I thought they would be. My family like it so much we were late in getting out, my fault really. Good hikes in western Olympic National Park and National Forest. All the trees and flowers were in full bloom, loved it. Well maintained yard with plenty of room for our miniature schnauzers. Try an elk burger at The Big Elk restaurant, half pound of goodness.....especially after a long hike.

Very clean house. Plenty of kitchen amenities. Spacious living areas and comfortable bedrooms. The gardens in the front, back and side yards were gorgeous! Beach access was excellent. Hot tub was relaxing. Very quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors and easy access to sequim, dungeness spit, etc. One day during our stay was very windy and resulted in one of the sliding glass doors cracking after a big gust. We called the management company and they were very responsive and accommodating, which was appreciated. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!
