Experience ‘The Magic Hour'; where Heaven meets Earth on the Hood Canal.....

A unique beach home with 2 en suite bedrooms in the main home & a separate bunk house with a queen bed & one set of bunk beds. The bunk house sits beside the main house and has a full bathroom. We have over 150 feet of private, waterfront property. The main house has a large fold out sofa bed in the living room as well.

In the late spring, summer and early fall, the salt water is warm and perfect for waterskiing, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, or just diving in for a refreshing swim. You might see a seal, maybe two or three of them. Although dated, we have a large pickle ball court that doubles as a basketball court.Put a crab pot out & pick up oysters from our beach & you are all set for a delectable dinner. Winter time is cozy to cuddle up and read a good book, watch the various birds migrate, play cards or board games with family and friends. Alderbrook Resort is just 7 miles south of our home. They have a world class spa and delicious northwest cuisine. We have 4 single kayaks, 2 double kayaks, and 2 paddle boards for your use.
I grew up on Bainbridge Island and spent many summers on the canal at my grandparents home. It is my slice of heaven out here. When the tide comes all the way up in the evenings; there is a period I call the "Magic Hour". It is Divine. Enjoy.

Absolutely perfect

This was a great place to celebrate my husbands 80th with family and friends. We had a week long celebration with folks coming and going and several overniters. The house is designed for just that kind of event. Large kitchen with plenty of utencils and small appliances, 3 bathrooms and a great beach for all the water toys provided. Wonderful hostess Tiffany is the best! mahalo from Hawaii!

Perfect for our family

The hostesses were very friendly and helpful. We had several day trips and cancelled two of them to make more time at the house. We had fun diving for sand dollars, looking for oysters and digging for clams. The kids loved the kayaks, canoe and paddle boards. The sunset was pretty every night. We saw sea otters and seals. The house is ten minutes from groceries and gas. You want to have water shoes as it is a rocky beach, but we knew that from the pictures. We really loved Magic Hour!

5 Star Beach, 2 Star Accommodation

"Elegant 3 bedroom estate" is how this listing starts out but buyer beware; it is a far cry from "elegant" or an "estate." If your idea of "elegant" is smelling the septic system every morning and night, then by all means book this rental. And "estate" is a stretch...it's a dated 2 bedroom home with a bunkhouse. There is a grassy area, which the kids did enjoy playing on but the very sketchy pickle ball court with cracked/protruding areas would be a safety hazard if you were brave enough to use it. Some amenities listed inaccurately were: 1) Hot tub (spa/whirlpool) - NONE 2) A/C in the main home's bedrooms - only in 1 bedroom (NOTE: 87 degrees when we stayed so sleeping comfortably was important) 4) Shampoo - one bottle in one bathroom, not adequate 5) Hairdryer - one for the entire house/bunkhouse, not adequate 6) Children's highchair, dishes & utensils - NONE The kitchen was totally unorganized, a scavenger hunt just trying to find anything. And to make cooking easier for your guests, please provide some large cooking spoons. The rugs in the bunkhouse bathroom were disgusting and moldy; need to be replaced. Plus we found out the dishwasher was not working AFTER our arrival; very poor communication on the owner's part. Of course, the best part of the house was the beach and the view; but isn't this the case with most of the homes along Hood Canal? It's a very beautiful area of Washington and the reason we return, but returning to this home will not happen.

Celebrating mom at Hood Canal

My mom grew up coming to Hood Canal, and we wanted to come back and celebrate her there. This property is phenomenal. There’s so much to do to enjoy all Hood Canal has to offer. Our favorite activities were canoeing, paddle boarding, and clamming! The views from the home are incredible and it was a perfect stay overall. We did have a little hiccup with the garbage disposal, but Tiffany was so responsive we got everything taken care of right away. Our family plans to come back here again. I highly, highly recommend this beautiful home.

Responsive owners and clean property.

We spent a weekend with close friends and family and had a great time. The place was clean and when we needed help with something the owner was responsive. The kids had an amazing time looking for shells and baby crabs on the beach. The adults enjoyed watching seals, kayaking and taking in the fresh air during high tide. Plenty of room in the main house that we didn't even have to use the separate unit. Thank you for an amazing time! 😊

Our family spent a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in this lovely house. The view was amazing and the sunsets absolutely gorgeous. We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious the house and the grounds were, it looks even better than on the pictures. We had a lot of space to chill, cook and hang out. The house is really well stocked and we found everything we needed, including lovely plates and glasses which is always a nice to have for a holiday weekend :-). You can pick oysters right on the beach outside the house and baked them for dinner, it was delicious! The pickle ball court was a nice surprise too and we had fun playing as a family. We would love to go back in the spring or summer to enjoy the water and chill on the back porch with the firepit going as the November weather did not really allow us to do that. Thank you Tiffany and Mary for sharing your home and being extremely gracious hosts.

Celebrating our Anniversary

We were all pleasantly surprised as the photos are only a glimpse into this wonderful home. We had 6 adult children and were all comfortably set up. The large kitchen enticed us to sit and gather after our meals. The back had a truly stunning view of the sound, provided easy access to swimming and kayaking and the sunsets were breathtaking! Best surprise was the pickle ball court on the driveway and our family fun just sitting around watching and playing the game. No need to leave the property! Thank you for making our 32nd feel like an island escape !

Wonderful spot

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely family cabin. There is plenty of space to spread out and relax. The layout is ideal, with the main bedrooms on opposite ends of the big house and the third bedroom off the detached garage, plus two tiers of outdoor seating (one on the patio outside the slider and the other on the bulkhead). The kitchen has lots of counter space and room for multiple people to prepare food, and the living room and library/game table nook is a cozy space at night. We spent a lot of time in the water, using the multiple kayaks and paddleboards available in the garage and swimming to the raft (which is marked with the cabin owners' names and phone number, so I don't know how the previous guest got the impression that it was off limits). When I visit a place to which I hope to return, I always make a list of things I would bring next time. Here is that list for this house: -- Extra patio/camp chairs -- there are multiple outdoor seating areas and it is nice to not have to move the chairs supplied from spot to spot -- Bath mat/rug -- the bunkhouse bathroom doesn't have one and the floor can get slippery without it. -- Extra firewood for the fire pit on the bulkhead -- the house comes with one-night's supply. -- Beach towels Thank you so much for making this spot available to us!

Looking out on the Hood canal each day was so lovely, so calming, so peaceful. The house was beautiful with room for all nine of us to sleep, eat, and play. Plenty of water craft and personal flotation devices. I would have liked more protection from the later afternoon/evening sun. More umbrellas, a roll-out awning? The kitchen was very well supplied. Everything was clean and functional.

lovely vacation home with well stocked kitchen. I love the canal with swimable salt water beach. No gas BBQ, only charcoal, no air conditioning. West facing windows with continual sun on them. Could never stay in a non air conditioned home again due to a change in summer temperatures. also, shows swim raft as part of the property but other property owners have priority over swim raft.

Paradise on Hood Canal

We love this beach home on Hood Canal. We stayed with our family last year and with friends this year. It is the perfect location and size to accommodate 6 adults comfortably and 10 if you know each other well. There are 3 totally separate spaces for sleeping that include a bathroom and conveniently placed outside doors. The bedrooms have delightful beachy views which are close enough to the shore to hear the waves lapping at night and to be bathed in sunlight during the day. There is a lovely patio right out the living room and bedroom doors with a picnic table and a large swing to gaze at the beach and blue shimmering water below or the stars at night. A few steps down from this patio area is an amazing bulkhead which allows multiple groups to visit comfortably in Adirondack chairs or cook oysters and s'mores over a firepit. This location cannot be beat for swimming or boating. It is easy to gradually enter the warm salt water of Hood Canal. My seventy-plus years old friends and I swam throughout the afternoon and after dinner into the evening. The property looks west towards the Olympic Mountains, so the sunset is truly beautiful reminding one memories and the memories being made.

Not a property curated as a VRBO

Two main complaints: 1. The property is not a curated rental, but rather a family's old private cottage that was poorly built over time. The beds are old; the kitchen is not fully stocked (forks knives and spoons not full sets, no frying pan, no salad bowl, too may old bakeware); the linens and towels are very old; old and broken lounge furniture. The heating is wall mounted and gets very hot. I would not recommend this for small kids. 2. The property is not well-managed. The bed in the main bed had a blood stain. It was not fresh, I could see it was washed. But a good manager would have replaced it. The cupboards are full of old mismatched linen and when we wanted to replace the above mentioned stained fitted sheet we could only find a stretched out old sheet that did not fit. We found dirty glasses in the kitchen cupboards and dirty oyster knives too. The shower mat in the bunk house has not been washed, maybe ever. I had to ask our friends to bring their own. The fireplace had old ash we had to clean out. We could not unpack as the cupboards are full of old linens, towels and even private photo albums and clothes. And if you sell the view, make sure the windows are clean! Cannot recommend, unless your idea of an expensive rental is a dirty old cabin with very unpractical bathrooms and questionable hygiene.

A special place to celebrate an anniversary

We could not have been more pleased with our stay here. It really felt like we were being welcomed into someone's much-loved home. If anything, it was more beautiful than it appeared in the pictures. The home was very clean and was spacious yet cozy and comfortable. The views and access to the water were unbeatable. We were lucky to stay during a period where there were no clouds, and the stars very clear so far from any large cities. We're looking forward to returning in the future for a longer stay!
