Hotels near Hood Canal

"The location of the home, nestled into the forest on the Hood Canal, is so appealing, and the back deck and beach are just delightful. The home is a funky 1950’s beach house, and if you forget to bring something—whether it’s catsup, tape, or beach towels—you’ll find it here. It seemed more like we were enjoying a few days at a friend’s summer house than staying in a rental. The host is super accommodating and responsive."

"FANTASTIC for families wanting to kayak, paddleboard, canoe in nature. Seals, otters, bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons everywhere! Herd of deer in the yard morning and evening, eating apples from the garden, including one with LEUCISM (look this up!). DARK SKIES at night for stars. FRUIT trees in garden amazing! Great bathrooms, new washer/dryer, great family room and decks. CLEAN, QUIET and stylish. Loved this house. 20-30 min from town which was great for feeling truly in countryside. Small/limited general store across the water, though-we kayaked over to shop. Only downsides: oven didn't work but not addressed when we asked for a fix (notes from previous renter show same complaint had been made). MUSTY basement bedroom-should have dehumidifiers in basement. Mudflats at low tide but could still access water with a little work. Need to let folks know that beach is completely made up of razor sharp oyster shells with very rough walking (almost no sand). They supply water shoes, however! Very accommodating. Great short drive to Olympic National Park for amazing waterfall hikes. Easy access to charming towns as well (Poulsbo, etc. Anthony's restaurant in Bremerton was fantastic!)"

"Property was as advertised- except the view was even better in person! Owner was super easy to work with and responded quickly to the few questions we had. Wished we could have stayed longer. "
