Commander's Beach House

Would you like to fall asleep lulled by the sound of the waves? The Commander's Beach House is located right on a sandy beach near the Point Hudson Marina and within three blocks of the shops and restaurants in downtown Port Townsend. Hike our beach to Fort Worden and explore the Marine Science Center or visit the Point Wilson Lighthouse. A short stroll will bring you to the beautiful rose and seasonal gardens of Chetzemoka Park or the marina, filled with classic wooden boats. If you prefer, explore the tidepools on our beach at low tide, hunt for agates and wishing rocks or launch your kayak and paddle in to town.
The Commander's Beach House is a Cape Cod style home built in 1934. Until 1955 it housed several commanding officers and their families that were stationed at the nearby medical facility. The Commander's Beach House has been an operational bed and breakfast for seven years and provides a relaxing escape for those who truly want to experience a home on the beach.

    Picture yourself in our beach side swing, while counting sailboats and enjoying the sea breeze."Rush Hour" as viewed from our beach
    Fall asleep to the gentle sound of the waves. This cozy room has a view of Mount Baker, Whidbey Island, and the ferry. Use the binoculars provided to spot passing criuse ships, Trident Submarines, wooden sailboats,and many types of birds and water fowl.This magnificent Bald Eagle, flying toward the Point Wilson Lighthouse, was photographed from our beach by our guest, Bob Falkenhagen.
    Relaxing in our garden, with the Point Wilson Lighthouse in the background.Stroll the lavender filled pathways through the garden and down to the beach. The Commander's Beach House offers many delights for the senses!
