The Commander's Beach House is the only bed and breakfast that is located right on the water in downtown Port Townsend. You can walk on the beach to Fort Worden or easily stroll three blocks along the water front to all of the downtown shops and restaurants. Three of our rooms face the water and have private baths. Our fourth room faces the garden and has a shared bath located inside of the room. You can enjoy views of Admiralty Inlet, Mt. Baker, Whidbey Island, all of the boats and ships that go into Seattle, as well as vintage wooden schooners and yawls. Eagles, herons, otters and seals are frequently seen by our guests. A full sit down gourmet breakfast is served at individual tables or on our veranda, weather permitting. Come fall asleep lulled by the sounds of the sea and "relax and solve nothing"!

We spent three nights at the Commander's Beach House in mid-August 2022. It was our sixth stay here and our first since Natalie and Dave took over as hosts from Gail and Jim. The CBH is as wonderful as ever and remains one of our favorite getaway places from our home in Seattle. The B&B has an ideal beachfront location on Hudson Point, near an attractive marina and within easy walking distance of Port Townsend's restaurants and historic main streets. All the rooms are clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated with marine-related themes and colors; and the Island View Room and Lighthouse Suite offer superb views of Admiralty Inlet, the nearby islands, and Mount Baker and the Cascades. Comfy chairs on the verandah and lawn are available to make the most of good weather. Natalie and Dave serve excellent gourmet breakfasts (normally at 9am) and were a real pleasure to talk with throughout our stay, always happy to help if needed and to go out of their way to make their guests' stay as enjoyable as possible. Thanks again for everything, Natalie and Dave, and we hope to see you again very soon!…

So happy to have stayed at the Beach House for a birthday weekend, this was our first visit to Port Townsend. The lighthouse Suite was comfortable and very nautical themed. The view from the windows was lovely: beach, mountains, and nature. The bathroom is small, but functional. What we enjoyed most was the hospitality from Natalie and Dave, the warm welcome, birthday wishes, and customer service. We played cards by the beach, and watched the seals, bald eagles, herons, ferries, and even a submarine in the sound. Very relaxing, peaceful and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious. The rooms also do not lock from the outside, so when you leave the room for the day, it remains unlocked, but the main house is locked up. Note: the house is old, so sound travels quickly. Beautiful weekend!…

The best experience you could ever have in Port Townsend is right here at the Commander's Beach House. All the rooms are exquisite, however, I stayed in the lighthouse suite. This suite is equipped with a king size bed, a sitting area and bathroom. They really paid attention to detail in every part of the house, but the lighthouse suite has a beautiful, intricate sea horse dresser that adds the perfect touch to the room. Oh, and the bed was super comfy, you just drift to sleep as soon as you lay down. Such a beautiful and unique room, the views also cannot be beat. From hearing the waves crash through the night to an amazing homemade breakfast while feeling the ocean breeze on your face, a stay here is highly recommended. Natalie and David are literally the hosts with the most. They make sure every guest has a wonderful, unique stay. They are knowledgeable about things to do around town, as far as sightseeing and great recommendations on places to eat near by. The house is very conveniently located to shopping, dining and the beach. I highly recommend visiting the Commander's Beach House, you will feel right at home, but with fantastic views of the beach. Don't forget to walk the beach and find some sea glass to take home.…

My husband and had a lovely time. We stayed in the Lighthouse suite, which had an amazing view of Mount Baker. The sounds of the waves, sailboats, beach walks, added to the most amazing experience. Dave and Natalie were wonderful hosts. If your lucky, Dave makes the best eggs Benedict ever. A short walk into town you will find excellent food and world class music. I highly recommend this place.

My husband and I had fabulous time hanging in Port Townsend while staying at The Commander's Beach House. I can't brag enough about this B&B. We were so impressed with the beachfront location in the historical district, a comfortable well appointed home, the bed was comfy , the breakfasts were culinary surprises, the owners were hands on but not intrusive. This is a well run establishment. 😘🙏

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights in the Schooner room and from the moment we arrived everything was exceptional. From the home made breakfast provided to the cleanliness of the room, our stay was more than what we could have hoped for. Natalie(?) was very accommodating, even providing breakfast for me after service had stopped. We felt like we were the only people staying there with how attentive she was. We enjoyed every detail of our stay, including the comfy robes provided! We will definitely be staying here again and appreciate their service.

This is a lovely B & B right on the beach. Michelle and her husband do a beautiful job maintaining this property and making you feel at home. The rooms are extremely clean and decorated with nautical features and many items from local artists. Breakfast was a delight each morning. The location is fantastic, since the beach is right outside your door (we even walked to Fort Worden along the beach). Downtown is just a couple of blocks away, which is great considering how difficult it is to park after 11 am. The bed was incredibly comfortable in the Lighthouse Suite where we stayed. We definitely plan to return.

This B&B is as close to perfect as can be. We stayed in the Lighthouse Suite with the waterline just outside our window, listening to the surf at night. The details in this home are charming and so comfortable, the hosts kind and helpful. The seating at the beach and in the garden is just right for morning, afternoon or evening relaxation. Walk easily to the center of town, past the Maritime Center.
