About this property

Welcome to John Wayne's Waterfront Resort

John Wayne's Waterfront Resort is a relaxed, year-round property located on the shores of Sequim Bay, offering informal cabin accommodations with kitchens and bay views. Situated across the road from John Wayne Marina and just two miles from Sequim Bay State Park, the resort provides easy access to outdoor activities including boating and nearby hiking trails.

The property operates as a resort hotel, RV park, and vacation home rental agency, catering to a variety of guests seeking a low-key waterfront experience. Facilities include free Wi-Fi and parking, and the resort is noted for being kid-friendly, though it does not offer a pool or fitness center. Guest reviews often highlight the spacious, clean cabins and the friendly staff, with some mentioning the cozy atmosphere and picturesque water views from the units.

While the resort is generally appreciated for its peaceful setting, a few guests note that amenities are straightforward and that some features, such as shower use for RV guests, are metered. This reflects the property’s practical approach rather than luxury offerings, making it a suitable choice for visitors looking to unwind close to nature rather than seeking extensive hotel services.

Nearby attractions enhance the stay, including Sequim Bay State Park with its oceanfront camping and trails, Purple Haze Lavender Farm, and the gaming complex of 7 Cedars. The resort's location also places it within reasonable driving distance from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, making it accessible for travelers.

This was a typical RV parking lot campground with easy access to 101, water access, and some really neat “forest overflow” camping, plus tent camping on a nice grassy area. Very busy, clean, offers coin-operated shower area, “community gathering area,” some swings for kids, plus dump station. We’d recommend checking them out.

Get here before the developers do, and enjoy what remains of a bygone era. Self contained cabins literally across the road from the water, in one of the most sheltered and beautiful bays on the peninsula. Spacious cabins, meticulously cleaned and fully equipped, pet-friendly options, and a stones throw from the marina and great Dockside restaurant, you will no doubt want to visit again and again as we have done for three years Ina row.

Best staff around! Great views, love being back here! Great bathroom with 3 nice sized showers in the women’s! Lots of games, large grass areas with nets and other fun stuff! AND WATER VIEWS! Just minutes from the water and the discovery trail!

Beautiful resort. Stayed in a cabin. The beds were old and springy, but I didn't want to stay in a tent or RV pull out couch. So it was fine. Service was great. They asked us if we needed additional amenities every day. BEAUTIFUL VIEW from the cabin. The resort is a bit quiet, but if you are looking to get away and relax, this place is for you.

Friendly staff and amazing location. Be ready for some wind at times. Sequim bay is beautiful. Discovery trail is within walking distance. Check out Port Williams for a good low tide beach walk. Sunrises can be spectacular.

So grateful for the clean and comfy cabin where we could bring our pups for adventures! The staff was very friendly and kitchen had everything you need. We enjoyed watching the bay from big picture windows! Next time we will bring kayaks.

It's nice, view of Bay, use of club house, we are a part of a large RV Club from Salem, Oregon. But when I went to take a shower, found out it isn't free (like all of the other RV parks we have been to this trip). It cost 50¢ for 5 minutes and $1 for 10 minutes. They should show that somewhere so people aren't caught off guard when they get to the shower room.

Sweet quaint cozy cabins close to the John Wayne Marina. Spectacular views and bunnies that visit, which was sweet, reminiscent of my childhood. I would recommend. Thank you
