If you're coming to Sequim for a getaway, indulge in this spectacular vacation home featuring a private hot tub, movie theater, fitness room, and pond. Stately and imposing, this home stands out with unique architecture and a profusion of windows. Pull into the driveway and take in the wooded surroundings. Then step inside and marvel at the pond surrounded by tropical greenery. Further inside, notice the distinctive decor and spaciousness. Relax in the living room on the stylish sofa, and bask in the natural light that filters in. Three sets of double glass doors open wide to create an open-air atmosphere. On chilly nights, warm up with a fire in the fireplace, which features a stainless steel facade.

The open-concept design creates expansion and a nice flow across the living/dining/kitchen areas. Create a culinary feast in the kitchen, which has plentiful counter space and storage, stainless appliances, and a center cooktop island. Gather at the dining table for eight, and enjoy your meal together with the soothing sound of running water from the pond just adjacent to you. After dinner, take a well-deserved soak in the private hot tub, or build a fire in the outdoor firepit.

This home offers many bonuses. Spend some time in the family room and catch a movie on the large TV after you make a selection from the DVD library. For a truly extravagant experience, have a movie night in the in-house theater. Lower the lights and sink into the plush leather seats - there's one for each of you - an enjoy a movie marathon. Choose from the available games for both kids and adults. If you don't want to let your workout routine slide while on vacation, visit the well-equipped fitness room. This home also offers a large laundry room with a stainless washer and dryer plenty of counter space for sorting and folding laundry.

Chances are you won't want to leave, considering all this home has to offer, but if you're in the mood to explore, there's plenty to do in the area. Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge is 18 miles away, and Dungeness River Audubon Center is only 15 miles away. Known as the 'Lavender Capital of North America' and rivaled only by France, Sequim boasts several lavender farms you can visit and a lavender festival every July. Sequim also offers a few art galleries and historic sites, like the New Dungeness Lighthouse and the Historic Dungeness Schoolhouse. If nightlife appeals to you, Seven Cedars Casino is only five miles away. Located less than a mile from the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Sequim Bay, this home offers wooded seclusion. In-town conveniences are close by, with grocery shopping just 12 miles away, and Olympic National Park is 68 miles away. Due to Sequim's close proximity to the Olympic Mountains, you'll reap the benefits of being protected from the typical rains the rest of the state gets, a phenomenon that's earned this town the title of 'Sunny Sequim.'

Refrigerator & Freezer do not work. Almost all plants are dead. Different couches.
I was extremely disappointed that we were not told the freezer no longer worker. I was pissed that we were not told the refrigerator hardly worked. We had over a thousand dollars worth of food brought with us that we ended up having to go buy ice to put in our Coolers. A person came out and checked the breaker and said nothing seemed wrong. She was nice and offered a cooler of her own and we told her we'd let her know if we needed it. The ponds were pretty mucky and almost every single plant is dead. The office room is set up differently with no TV and the living room has completely different couches. None of the photos or description have been updated in what seems like a long time. I can tell the plant that used to hang over the bridge walk way is out the back door in the over grown grass. There are sticker bushes everywhere, even hanging into the walkway. The house for the most part was clean. The communication was poor everytime I messaged. Our number was complaint and extreme disruption to our stay was the freezer and refrigerator.

Dated but a blast to stay!
I was nervous when I read prior reviews. the space was extremely clean when we arrived, The theater room was dated but what a blast to watch a movie on the big screen, The jungle room was amazing and we enjoyed the fish. Limited TV's but what the heck - so much else to do! Kitchen was modern with everything we needed. Would highly recommend

Not as presented or taken care of.
This place seemed to be a worn down model home with most items put in that are cheap and not functional. The theater room had an old projector the sound in the theater didn’t work. Wi-Fi didn’t work when we arrived. The house was not properly completely cleaned. Sound in the bathroom didn’t work. All the TVs are not connected. We saw a mouse in the theater room at night. Their where ants in the bathrooms , spiders in waterfall area. Freezer leaks water and doesn’t seal properly.

Unexpectedly awful
The house was absolutely dirty. There was mouse poop all over the house including finding some on the bed and sheets. We spent the first day cleaning just to feel able to stay. The hot tub was off and dirty, the floors were sticky, the appliances were broken (only half the stove worked) and there was not one blind or curtain in the house. There was a multitude of other issues and although “Vacasa” (the company using VRBO) did refund the cleaning fee and half the cost of the rental, I will never use their company again. I think VRBO should rethink their partnership with Vacasa or at a minimum not allow their listings until major issues have been resolved.

Mini vacation
I was kind of afraid to stay here based on other reviews but we decided to take a gamble and we weren’t disappointed, though there is definitely some things that need to be addressed. I saw previous people mentioned sticky floors and I will say the atrium had sticky floors due to the I think banana trees dripping a sap like substance. But it was beautiful and a really neat area. The floors around the rest of the house were fine. I think they are taking in to consideration the cleanliness of the house because we arrived to a fairly clean home with just a few tiny spots missed. I seen people saying the hot tub not working but thankfully it was when we stayed so hopefully that is another thing they are working on. The movie theater was a highlight for us and the instructions made it easy to operate. We had a movie night each night there. Everything seemed to be in working condition for us that we tried using. The waterfall made a lovely sound that was super enjoyable while in the hot tub. I will add that maybe a book about the house and where things are located/how things work at the entrance would be helpful for some. For example the waterfall switch is kinda hidden and some might not even see it or the lights for the ponds, and switches for fireplaces, etc. The location is beautiful and the driveway up to the house is magical. We enjoyed walking around the property looking for slugs. I definitely think wifi would be nice. It was definitely good to be disconnected but for safety reasons I think wifi or a landline is a must. I only had service when I stood on the giant rock out front. Lol And my last advice would be for blinds/shades/ curtains or something in the bedrooms at least. It was kind of strange feeling like someone could be watching you all night. All in all we had a great stay and a wonderful experience!

Akward place, weired setup
This is a unique place. nice property with a lot of potential. but it is slipping. There was some initial misunderstanding regarding the Jacuzzi being out of order. They fixed it, but didn't let the cleaning staff know. So it was filthy. had to be drained and cleaned. Staff came out that day and fixed the issue, but we were unable to sue the jacuzzi for the majority of the stay due to our schedule. Around the jacuzzi there is a ton of dirt and debris piled up. The Floors are sticky, there is a residue on them. so wear shoes. One of the bedroom closets had chunks of throwup that was not cleaned out, and continued to smell. The two bedroom wing has an issue with the thermostat's left half of the screen. The oven does not work, requires a looong time to reach temperature, and does not keep it. The microwave oven works well. Bring your own spices and condements. the kitchen is not stocked. The kitchen does have good selection of silverwear and plates, and cookwear (pots and pans). The biggest plus of this accomodation is the open space concept, and the large property because the kids had a great time running around. But because there are no shades any where expect to wake up early.

Total misstatement
The property was very worn. No internet. No television. Spa did not work. Fountains did not work which made for stale fish ponds inside the house. They scheduled inside cleaning of the atrium for 6 hours while we were there. Very invasive

Disappointed
We deserve a refund. The property had multiple TVs, outside of the dated theater room projector - none of them worked. The hot tub was not working. Bathrooms and beds had clumps of hair. There were various types of ants in the dining room, bedrooms and bathrooms. No wi-fi, minimal cell service, and no land line. That is a safety concern if there was an emergency. House needed repairs as well.

movie theater, atrium and hot tub
I see evidence of the owners making improvements after prior feedback. There are oven mitts, the dishwasher worked fine, there is a TV in the master bedroom, new fish seem to be in the koi pond, didn't see any mice while we were there for our few days. A couple things are amiss. I'd recommend advertising loud and proud that there is no internet (or try again to obtain it as appears neighbors have strong enough wifi to be seen as available at this house). It's ok to plan to be remote, but in today's world with many working remotely, tough to be in a home with no internet in addition to spotty cell service. There was significant algae in the koi pond. We didn't keep the waterfall on as it smelled musty/mildewy (though had a lovely sound and the fish seemed to really enjoy it). The speakers in the movie theater didn't work (very quietly only from the front two speakers) and I was so bummed! I love movies and fully planned to sit down to one every night in this awesome theater after our long hiking days. The other thing is that the TV in the room off the atrium didn't work either and there was no DVD player in the master bedroom. We ended up borrowing another DVD player for the master bedroom and sat on the bed together every night to watch one as the only other space to watch was the hot tub and I could not have stayed in there for a couple hours! :) Overall, very clean though appears the plants in the atrium may be dripping a little sap type liquid making it sticky in spots. Really cool property, but just a couple things aren't working as intended it seems.
