My sister and i had a much needed and relaxing get a way. We loved the view and did a lot of watching birds and watching the weather changes. We loved the feel of being so close to the water when the tide came in. We will definitely be back to stay at the cozy on the canal cottage.

This home has a lot going for it! Location of course, but also layout, amenities and comfortable beds.
Easy walking distance to a couple restaurants, as well as to Union Market and Marina.
The views are of course fabulous! Saw harbor seals, birds of various types too.
Steps down to the beach from the back deck to put in my SUP board? Added bonus.

This was our second time at the Hood Canal house and it just doesnāt disappoint! Stayed 2 nights, cooked all of our meals at the house, walked on the beach, enjoyed the view for hours watching eagles and seals. Made a trip to the state park for one of our favorite hikes.
Cannot wait to go again! Book this place while itās available!

The property location on its own is enough to make the stay worthwhile. The views are spectacular. But in addition to the property itself, the home was clean, the furnishings in great condition and the kitchen well stocked. The owner is extremely easy to work with and communicate with. Absolutely love this place.

Great weekend stay with family. Close to many terrific hikes off of 106, Hama Hama Oyster saloon and you cannot beat the view off the deck where we saw Eagles, Seals and Otters in addition to waterbirds. Nice house with a well equipped kitchen and super comfy living room setup that was sweet after long days on trails. Canāt beat the hood canal area!

In addition to the spectacular views and sunsets, it has great beach access and seals right off the deck! This is the perfect spot to explore Hood Canal and the surrounding areas. Close to many hiking options, as well as all the amenities available at Alderbrook Resort. We enjoyed the cute nearby town of Hoodsport with a winery, brewery & distillery! We greatly appreciate the privacy of the home and how well maintained it was. We hope to return again soon!

This is one of the best vacation properties that our family has ever rented. Itās very cozy, comfortable and clean and the view is priceless. Thereās no reason to even go anywhere because the view off the deck is enchanting and entertaining enough on its own. We spent lazy days watching fishing boats, admiring sea lions, and collecting and eating oysters off the beach. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of this delightful waterfront cabin. Everything we needed to cook meals was available and we appreciated having two methods of brewing coffee, an unusual benefit in a vacation rental. The mattresses in both bedrooms were heavenly, so very comfortable. Check in and communication were perfect. We highly recommend a visit to the Hama Hama Oyster Saloon for a fantastic seafood lunch with a beautiful view and Hunter Farms for delicious Olympic Mountain ice cream and fresh fruit and produce. All other groceries were easy to obtain in Shelton about 20 minutes away where there is a Fred Meyer and a Walmart. Down the road near the Alderbrook resort there are several beautiful hikes to suit all abilities, donāt miss this, the trees and foliage are stunning. I can think of no downside to our visit other than I wish we would have booked a longer stay, so weāll have to remedy our sadness with another visit very soon!

We had a wonderful, relaxing time staying at this beautiful house. The views of Hood Canal and the mountains are stunning. We spent the week watching the wildlife from the amazing deck. Birds, eagles, otters, seals devouring salmon. The couches and beds were super comfy and the kitchen was very well stocked with tools not normally found in rentals. The short walk to 2 Margaritas was a plus! We hope to stay here again!

Hi Kevin,
We had such a lovely stay at your home this last weekend. It was our 20th Anniversary and it was the perfect setting for us. There's nothing like sitting on the deck and watching the seals, birds, boats and other happenings on the canal.
We were impressed by the
fresh flowers throughout the house
Nice shampoo and soap
delightfully comfortable bed and pillows
heated floor in the bathroom
night lights in several places - I often carry my own just in case
comfortable furniture -indoors and out
very well stocked kitchen and house - I was so upset that I had forgotten my binoculars, almost drove into Shelton to purchase some when I saw your's on the shelf. Thank you.
Nice TV/Cable/Internet setup.
Beautiful garden
and so much more.
Again we really enjoyed our stay. We've already discussed coming back when there are meteor showers and other times when we just need out of the city. Your home is beautiful, peaceful, and surprisingly quiet being on a main road. Thank you for sharing this oasis with others.
Enjoy the Fall,
Trish and Angela

You can't get any closer to the water without being IN the water!
This is a very cozy, nicely appointed home right on the water. It was obviously updated recently and is very clean, tidy and nicely decorated. Pretty landscaping too! Big comfy reclining sofas with an amazing view of the Hood canal. When you're inside during high tide it almost feels like you're on a boat! Beds are comfy, the bathroom is well appointed and the kitchen is stocked with matching dinnerware and cooking utensils. Great deck and plenty of places to sit outside. It's obviously set up with their renters in mind - free of clutter and well maintained with an upscale feel. Other property owners could take some pointers from these folks!
When the tide is in, the water is lapping right up under the deck, and when it's out, there's probably a couple hundred feet of "beach" of mostly rocks and oyster shells. Views of the canal and the mountains beyond are really spectacular, even though there was smoke from fires elsewhere in the state.
Location is close to most stuff in town and in reasonable driving distance to other attractions in the area, though there is not a whole lot around. The Alderbrook Resort is within a few minutes, and has a really nice restaurant and beautiful grounds to walk around, and the Union Square Deli had ice cream, pizza and good sandwiches. There's a convenience store near the casino that had a good selection of supplies. It is right on the road, which we thought might be noisy, but we never really noticed it.
Our dog enjoyed himself too! He liked looking over the water and seeing all the birds (once he got past the sound of the waves hitting the deck). The yard is almost entirely fenced, which allowed him to have some freedom to wander around without always being on a leash.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Beautiful place that is well taken care of and set up nicely for renters. The owners were very friendly, inviting and responsive. We did have to call the owner to get the door code, rather than it being e-mailed or texted to us. That was a bit inconvenient due to cell phone reception being a bit spotty, but we worked it out.
Danke for a lovely stay.

Fabulous waterfront house with walls of windows looking west for the perfect sunsets. Everything was upgraded and immaculate. Probably the cleanest vacation home we've ever rented. It sparkled! Also loved being able to launch the kayak right there at the house. Thanks for sharing this very special place. we'll be back! Jeff & Jan Young

Beautiful lush landscaping and cozy fire pit. An easy walk to restaurants and groceries. We all loved the stay, including our dog Luci. Weāll be back!!
