Two colleagues and I had a business meeting in Port Townsend. We stayed at the Commander's Beach House and LOVED the experience. The beds were so comfortable and the location/view of the water beautiful. Gail and Jim are wonderful hosts. They make sure their guests have whatever they need to be comfortable. They stop in to chat but will leave... More

What a wonderful find! Cape Cod on the West Coast. Lovely innkeepers, breathtaking view (get up early and cuddle on the porch @ sunrise), RELAX. Park you car, and saunter a couple blocks to town for anything you could wish. Play croquet oceanside on the expansive lawn. Grab a book, someone's hand, find peace. Breakfast is healthy gourmet. Coffee to... More

We've been coming to the Commander's Beach House for 10 years now and it's like coming home every time we visit. Gail and Jim are the perfect hosts always making sure you have everything you need and assist with recommendations for dining out. Breakfast is a real treat.

Everything about this place was great! A walk through the marina to go downtown for dining. A walk out the door to the beach! We were so impressed with the gourmet breakfasts and the kindness of our hosts, Jim and Gail. We could hear the surf from our upstairs window. Our bedroom was clean and so comfortable. Beautiful flowers were... More

We were so lucky to have found 2 rooms available for a last minute spring break getaway with our teenage daughter. Jim and Gail were the perfect hosts who treated us to a scrumptious breakfast of poached pears, salmon souffle, and delicious blueberry scones. Couldn't ask for anything better! The rooms were perfectly decorated, tremendously comfortable and quiet! Our daughter... More

If you wish to find a relaxing, beautiful, cozy place to unwind from the wild world, this is it! The perfect weekend away. Our hosts were so friendly and kind. We enjoyed soaking up the sun on the beach just a few steps from the house. The breakfast was delicious! We have already booked another weekend. Thanks!

We are now spoiled. Charm is not an easy thing to capture but they have done it at Commander's Beach House! Everything was absolutely charming. Our hosts, Gail and Jim, are to be heartily thanked for making us feel like we were family who had just returned home. Our room was delightful, breakfasts were tailored to our every whim, and...

Wow! What a romantic place. You won't find more gracious & accomodating hosts. Jim & Gail went way beyond expectations without even trying. We can't wait to return this Spring/Summer! Great location with plenty of parking, easy to find yet well removed from the traffic of downtown. Just a 2 minute drive of even a nice 5-minute walk will get... More

Jim & Gail are consumate host & hostess at this comfortable, homey waterfront B&B where you see the sun rise over Mt Baker and the Puget sound. Bald Eagles, Osprey, hummingbirds, seals & seagulls keep you mesmerized during daylight. In the waterfront rooms you hear waves lapping up on the beach, and smell the salt air. The beds are super-comfy.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
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"! ... more   less
