Sunset Marine Resort

Nice, clean, comfortable and quiet cabins by the bay. The website photos are accurate, the hosts are friendly. Our family of four stayed two nights in the Osprey’s Nest and loved it. Will go back. :)

Loved it! Although beware– they nickel and dime you on fees. The published rate is not the only amount you’ll pay… It was published at about $ 220 per night I think but when all was said and done it was WAY MORE after they tacked on little fees for this and that. It would be better if they would just charge one up front flat fee because getting the bill was a bit of a buzzkill and a surpriseafter such a nice weekend. That being said, it was great. Very cute and comfortable, home-​y space. Free wifi was a nice touch although hopefully you not use it too muchand just enjoy the fresh air and scenery. Rain or shine a great place to hole up for a weekend and reconnect with the family or have a romantic weekend. Not very close to any stores so go food shopping beforehand. We went kayaking and saw an otter up close which was so cool it was well worth the annoyance of the bill.

I stayed at the Osprey’s Nest April 2013 and it was a fantastic vacation. The owners were great to work with, they made sure I had what I needed, but then made themselves scarce.
The kitchen is gorgeous, there’s no tv or phone (which was a plus) and it’s a short hike to the water. Beautiful views, really relaxing. I can’t wait to go back!

My partner and I resently stayed at this resort and we loved it! We spent 2 nights in the clam cottage with our pups. The cabin is very cozy and comfortable with a wood burning stove and fully supplied kitchen. There is a grassy area right off the porch for the dogs. It was so quiet and peaceful and the sunsets are beautiful. We love the combination of rustic and comfortable and we are already planning our next stay. Thanks for a great time Lavon and Tracie,

Our family vacationed to Sunset Marine Resort from Ohio. We were visiting my grandparents. We couldn’t have made a better choice! We stayed in the clam cottage and loved every minute! We roasted marshmallows right on the water at night and enjoyed strolling the beach during low tide during the day. We have two younger children and the clam cottage suited us well. We loved how well stocked it was and had everything we needed. It was really clean and comforting. Everyone was accommodating and nice! We were greeted by sea otters and bald eagles, the bald eagle came to say goodbye the morning we left. You will not regret choosing this wonderful resort. We hope to return as soon as we can!

I just got back from a 3 Night stay at Sunset Marine Resort. Tracie & Lavon made the trip. The 1^st night we stayed there, we had a few mice in our cabin (The Landing Strip) wake us up. It was unpleasant, BUT Tracie & Lavon helped comp me for our stay AND found a place for us to stay that was really beautiful AND right on the water. They got rid of the mice and had us stay in there other, most popular cabin called «The Boat House» It was beautiful, clean, and Mice Free!!! I never get to go on vacation and after the 1^st night… I was so sad and depressed that my 1^st, 4 day vacation in 3 years was ruined because of mice. BUT The owners took care of everything. Paid the difference from the more expensive cabins and made the trip the BEST trip I have had in YEARS. The Kayak Rentals are awesome. Got to go see some Seals up close. Nice camp fires. Defiantly recommend The Boat House if you ever go. Nice Bar Area.

Wifi available for free… no tv… which is perfect! This place has rustic charm and was perfect for a getaway. I loved that it made me feel like I was back at the lake in Michigan. We heard some sea lions at night and the location was perfect for hitting Port Angeles, La Push, and other area attractions.
If you are looking for a 5 star resort, this is not it. It has some worn down areas and there is no phone or tv. The bonfire pit outside the cabin makes up for it and really encourages family time.
Pet are allowed for a fee.

We spent eight glorious nights at the Sunset Marine Resort in Sequim, Washington over the 2012 Christmas holiday. We stayed Eagles Nest which accommodated our stay nicely, and for a few nights, my wife’s 94 and 95 year old grandparents stayed in the Tree House cabin. Our family consisted of two teenage boys, a few dogs, and three adults. The resort provided just about everything to make our stay away from home very comfortable. We could not believe how well stocked the kitchen was. There were more appliances, serving dishes, and utensils than our own kitchen. They even have a dog door for our pups, which was great fun for them to run out onto the deck and check out what was happening at the John Wayne Mariana across the bay. The views of the bay from the living room and deck were spectacular and the beach was a short walk down the path. We made s’mores twice during our stay in the fire-​pit in front of our house. We decorated for Christmas and even put up a full size Christmas tree. The Inn Keepers were very accommodating. I mentioned that the lights in one of the bedrooms made it difficult to read and the next thing I knew they delivered a lamp to correct the situation. They even brought us fresh towels one day without us asking. This was our second stay at the Sunset Marine Resort and we look forward to our next relaxing stay in this beautiful tranquil setting.

My husband and I have been coming to SMR for more years than we can remember; and it has now become the place to go for our annual family trip as well. It just gets better and better!

The hubby and I stayed here for 3 nights 11÷19−22÷2012. We stayed in the Treehouse cabin. It was absolutely amazing! The cabin is cozy and extremely clean. The view is breathtaking. The cabin has a full kitchen which made hunkering down wonderful. The furniture is comfortable for reading or just gazing out the window at the outstanding view. Our dog was quite comfortable and enjoyed the stay with us too. We brought wood for the wood stove and enjoyed romantic fires and warm evenings. There is no TV or phone but free wifi that was a great added benefit. The retro/​vintage décor is quality and not trashy at all. Clean and classy, we cannot wait to go back!

I stayed here November last year and this place is wonderful. It was very cozy. The kitchen was really good. The view was beautiful. It looked like every bit of the décor was hand picked to give it it’s unique look. Very relaxing :)

This place is Amazing .a hidden gem .we stayed there during February in The Landing and it s wonderful. the view from the room is amazing and you feel very romantic. they have all the kitchen utensils and it was very handy. would recommend a quiet getaway for anyone.

This place was AMAZING! If you are looking for a remote place to relax, enjoy the view and get away from everything in your busy life… stay at the sunset marine resort!
We stayed at the clam cottage which is right on the beach (along with the boat house). There are about 7 or 8 cottages that are all very unique. Each cottage had its own fire-​pit area, a grill and a clean and well decorated place to sleep. The wifi was so spotty that i couldn’t use it, but you don’t come to stay at this place and check your email.
Incredibly beautiful, quiet and inspiring! Take day trips to the coast, the hoe rainforest, hurricane ridge and so much more!

If Dog-​Friendly travel is your thing (like it is with me), Sunset Marine Resort is the new, highest standard by which all others will now be judged. Many places offer a stripped-​down, dogs-​OK version of their nicer spaces. Not so here! The cabin (Eagle’s Nest) was absolutely gorgeous and my two pooches were immediately smitten with the delightfully shady, grassy little dog yard and the enormous deck overlooking the water. With loon calls in the morning for audio entertainment (insert visual of city dog’s cocked heads here) and a morning romp on the rocky shoreline (everything smells so AMAZING, they proclaimed) my hounds were in doggie heaven. As for people-​accouterments, the proprietors have thought of every single thing a guest might need during their stay and have graciously provided it. Additionally, this property offers the perfect jumping off point for day trips to the Olympic Peninsula’s treasure chest of things to see and do. Come back? Absolutely. And as soon as possible.

My boyfriend and I have stayed here twice now and can’t wait to get back. The Landing is our favorite cabin but we have toured them all. This is the ideal to place to kick back and relax. The cabins are all situated in a way that you don’t really notice the other guests.
The owners are great, very nice and respectful. The first time there, Lavon gave us a tour of all the cabins when we were scouting places for my boyfriend’s sister’s wedding. She ended up choosing a place on the peninsula but my boyfriend and I returned here shortly after the wedding because we liked it so much. On the return trip we met the other owner briefly, she saw us out for a walk with our dogs petted them and then we didn’t see another soul again for the remainder of our stay.
Staying here is like staying at a family member or friend’s cabin. It’s homey, comfortable and feels lived in. Each cabin has it’s own unique décor and feel. They are clean but not hospital sterile. If you’re looking for an on-​call front desk and team of staff waiting on you, this isn’t the place for you. If you want a place to marvel at your surroundings, breath in fresh air, and enjoy some piece and quite with your dogs, you won’t find a place better than this.

As the reviewer Holly says, the ownership has changed. so the place is NOT dirty or unkempt.
We stayed in Clams Cottage, which was lovely (though try The Boat House, it seems nicer). Appliances all seemed in good order, never tried the kayaking or wi-​fi we were only there for a short stay.
We did meet Tracie and Lavon and they were super nice, asked how we were, then left us alone. If you want ²⁴⁄₇ maid/​valet/​butler service go stay at a Hyatt. Biggest complaint… eh…the newspaper for the kindling on the fire pit was a weeeeeee bit damp.
Biggest plus?, the resort itself, from location, property, access, the accommodation (the bed was super comfy), they’re dog friendly.
So please, Go. You be glad you did.

Love the property — the view was awesome. We stayed at the Eagle nest which overlook the Sequim bay. The BBQ grill on the balcony is a plus also lots of board games.
The reason only for 3 stars — the water has a weird smell, we end up buying filter water from the nearby supermarket, also the wifi was not working.

Ignore the poor reviews on this place. It changed ownership in August of 2009 and in a single weekend, has become one of my favorite places to stay in Washington State. The Boat House couldn’t have been more idyllic. Simple and basic while stylish and cozy, decorated with hip and homey retro furniture and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The bedrooms aren’t fancy, but are rustically romantic, and at night you can hear the waves splashing underneath you.
If you’re looking to escape to a relaxing, peaceful oasis by the sea where you can sit outside on a sheltered porch with a glass of wine and watch the sunset, this is the place for you.

My fiancée and I stayed at Sunset Marine Resort this past weekend and had a really great time.
We stayed in the «Captain’s Quarters», which was like staying in a luxury treehouse overlooking Sequim Bay. The «Captain’s» was very clean and comfortable, complete with a wood fireplace, a very comfortable bed, with a full kitchen filled with all the appliances & utensils & supplies you’d ever need.
It was cold outside at night, so we curled up in blankets, popped open a bottle of wine, and sat out on the big deck overlooking the water. Once we were thoroughly frozen, we played domino’s inside, chosen from the cabin’s supply of books and board games.
The check-​in and out process was very hands-​off… the owner’s took care of everything for us. Everything was clear and easy.
The new owners are obviously putting a lot in to the property. The two previous reviews are not good representatives of our experience and I believe your experience will be similarly positive to ours.
We had a great time and would definitely go back.

I completely agree with Jorge about this resort.
My family just stayed here last week and it was not good. The location is beautiful and I feel like this place has enormous potential but the owners have completely given up.
When we arrived, no one was in sight at the office. They left us a note that our keys were in our cabin. In fact, I never saw the owners the entire time that we were there. My mom apparently spoke to the owner about kayaking (which was a ton of fun but an additional expense!), and the owner gave her the impression that she was too tired of cleaning up after guests to deal. Um I am sure by this point in the summer that is true, but come on! Don’t tell that to the guests.
Also, the promise of internet is a scam. We could get internet if we paid extra (by the day). Um seriously? At the rate that these cabins are going, internet should be included.
The bathroom was kind of nasty and the plumbing was a disaster. The kitchen was too. We cooked one night and found gigantic spiders in the measuring cup. We had to wash everything before we used it because they were disgusting. Not cool.
Everywhere we looked in the cabin there was a sign saying that if we left this or that dirty we’d be charged extra. No joke. The fridge, the bathroom, the living rooms, the bedrooms. I understand that some people are gross and you need to charge them for breaking things or whatever, but put that in the agreement when you pay for the room, not all over the cabin and right in your face.
I don’t think my family will ever be back here.
