Hood Canal Beach Retreat
Come relax and enjoy the Hood Canal at our playful beach retreat.
We spent the pandemic living in and fixing up this home to serve as a fun, comfortable vacation getaway, and we can't wait to share it with our guests!
Three bedrooms, two baths, one "sunroom" (with Aerobed for extra guests), playground for the little ones, over an acre of land and plenty of waterfront! The space Upon entry you'll find an open/high-ceiling sunroom / lounge (with flatscreen tv) / desk space. Also a great room to lay an Aerobed mattress for extra guests. Up a small flight of stairs to the main level, which consists of kitchen, breakfast nook, dining room, living room, bath 1 and bed 1. Dining for 8. Breakfast nook fits 3 comfortably (can squeeze more, especially if of the smaller/child-like stature). Bed 1: Queen bed with beautiful arched canopy frame. We carved out a special nook for our canine guests here as well. Bath 1: Large shower (no tub). Living room: Enjoy the propane fireplace in the cooler months, and stunning views of The Olympic mountain range and the Hood Canal year round. Kitchen: It's small, but mighty. With a large kitchen island for prep/serving space, an oven/range, full fridge/freezer, dishwasher and pantry.
Up the stairs (sorry, 1940s home so they're narrow!)... Bed 2: King bed with views over the Canal and toward The Olympics, and comfy rocking chair spot to take it all in. Bed 3: Twin mattress/window seat (a comfortable bed that doubles as a perfect reading nook), as well as bunk bed with twin up top and full mattress below...and a slide to get you from top to bottom. (for the little ones only please) Bath 2: Full bath tub w/ shower and beautiful views.
Outside: Upper deck with lounge chairs. Lower deck with extra large sectional and dining for 8, plus bbq. Off the deck you'll find a firepit wrapped by lavender, lilac and honeysuckle -- with beautiful views facing down the Canal. Looking for a shady nap? Pull the hammock under Wally, our beloved Willow tree. Or head to the low-bank beach to play in the sand, let the little ones swim in the small "pool" (pond that forms when the tide goes out), or take the kayaks or paddle boards out for a stroll. Head north a short ride to find the nature reserve! In the front yard, little ones will have extra fun on the playset, or venturing into "the magic wood" on the little trail we built (don't worry, it's safe -- isolated within the trees framed in by the driveway, with no easy way to get lost). Guest access You'll have access to the full property and waterfront/beach. Other things to note Please note that we strongly believe dogs are members of the family, and so we openly welcome them with you. But we ask that, like any member of your family, you don't leave pee or poo accidents behind and you clean up any overt messes. (We also kindly ask to keep pets off the furniture out of respect for our guests who have allergies or sensitivities to fur. If you think this will be a problem, [i.e. your pup is accustomed to sofa lounging] please plan to bring special blankets to place on the furniture for them, and properly towel dry them off after beach play before coming inside.)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This is probably the best house rental experience I have ever had. First of all, the hosts are INCREDIBLE! So sweet, and very quick with responses.Now to the property itself… I booked this for my sister’s chill bachelorette weekend with a few of her friends. It was exactly the relaxing weekend we were hoping for. It’s a destination wedding, so we wanted a place that had activities and stuff for us to do during the day without having to leave. This place checked all of the boxes. The inside was STUNNING. We all wanted to move in from the second we walked in. You can tell how much love was poured into this house. 2 regular bedrooms and 1 kids room, and I can attest that the kids room beds (even though it’s a bunk bed situation and a daybed by the window) were still very comfortable for full size adults. There were puzzles and board games which we loved doing. The outdoor area was just as beautiful. The deck area was lovely and new, the outdoor furniture was super comfortable, and the view was incredible. In the mornings we went out during low tide and explored. There were kayaks but we didn’t take those out because it was a mix of sun and rain, and we were only there for 2 nights (one full day), but that’s an added bonus to this place. You really don’t even need to leave the house to have a great time. Every one of us said we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Don’t hesitate, just book it. You won’t regret it.

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. Everything was as described. We were pleasantly surprised especially with: the child friendliness, availability of kitchen items, quality of sheets/towels, etc. and check in process. Since we have a 20 month old - things like the outdoor trucks, water table, outdoor playground, fenced in back yard (!), etc. were really really wonderful. We felt really comfortable having our kiddo play freely. They also had games, many children's books, children friendly plates, utensils, cups, etc. Really can't say enough about how awesome this was when traveling with a young child! Really made the experience so easy and smooth.Our family had a blast! Can't wait to return.
