Dungeness Bay Motel

The view is fantastic, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Just stretch out on the comfortable couch and watch the big ships go by. We looked at the spit and light house and debated do we attempt it or not? Yep we did it, walked the entire 11 miles (round trip). The shower is very small but we decided the view and location made up for it.

We stayed there for 5 nights and had a great time. The cottage was kept clean each day. The views are amazing. It’s a short distance from 101 and worth the drive. Besides that you most likely will see all the dear along the roads. It’s truely the only place to stay in Sequim. We visit Sequim twice a year and now have found a place we really enjoy. You won’t be disappointed…

The pictures do NOT do this place justice. I am a total hotel snob and I LOVED these cottages. The location is AMAZING. Seriously! Out the front you have the Dungeness Bay and the Dungeness Spit, and out the back window the Olympic Mountains.
The cottages are small, but PERFECT for two people. We were in #3. They are VERY light and the kitchen is really outfitted well. Although we only ate breakfast in the cottage, you could easily do more. We were even able to park our bikes inside behind the door and they were not in the way at all. There is a couch, a flat screen TV, and a Queen bed, and a small dining table with two chairs. Plenty of room really. It’s very clean and the location is outside of Sequim about 5 miles, but that’s a good thing:).
Each unit has two red adirondack chairs that we used every evening to enjoy a cocktail and the sunset. So fun!
The owners are so nice and very accommodating to their guests. I would return in an instant and recommend to friends and family.
My only reason for leaving off a star is the mattress. I wasn’t thrilled with the mattress. I think it’s time for it to be replaced. Other than that — GREAT find. So glad we picked it.

I don’t need to write a review, other reviewers have summed it up perfectly. Odd bathroom but who cares, great view, quiet area, super nice owners. Don’t smoke in the room.

This place has an amazing view right on the water. The huge windows in your room help accentuate how truly epic being right on the water is.
Watch huge ships steam by, check out the lights from Victoria, look at the pitch black night sky, gaze at the odd lighthouse out at the end of the five mile spit (and walk out there if you want) and relax.
Great place to stay, outside of the bustle of downtown Sequim, and the owners are very nice.
Highly recommended.

Dungeness Bay Motel gets 5 stars from me … filled in and glittered over with a kiss on top.
I’ve been a guest for several years. Although there are many newer, more luxurious, and more amenity-​rich properties in Sequim and Dungeness, the simple charm of this property and the kindness of the hosts (John and Karin) keep me coming back.
Situated like sets of side-​by-​side duplexes, the guest rooms are cozy and super clean. There are televisions, free wi-​fi, and full kitchens but no telephones.
Each cottage has its own parking space and carport for your car and bicycles. There is a pasture behind the property where cows currently graze amid the backdrop of the Olympic mountains. The front of the property are panoramic views of incredible sunsets, the bay, the Dungeness Spit, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, British Columbia, the San Juan Islands, and on and on. There is a nice bbq on the property that’s available for guests to share.
At night, it’s pitch black and dead silent. The beauty of this respite from urban assaults on the senses can take getting used to by folks who have forgotten how magical this type of stillness is. I love nighttime walks with flashlight looking for deer. Deer are everywhere, literally, day and night.
John and Karin are excellent resources for places to go and things to do if you’re new to the area. They’re honest and discriminating and won’t steer you to a place just because it’s popularly touristy; if it’s not good, they’ll tell you so and give better recommendations.
I love this place!
