We visit Hood Canal every year. This year was colder than usual but we still enjoyed the home and its many lovely touches. It's clear that the owners have a lot of love for the property. Our boys enjoyed the classic video game consoles provided. Beds were comfortable. The kayaks provided were in great shape. Overall a wonderful home.

We loved everything about the property, view, clean, comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture!! It was so nice to easily put kayaks in the water since the house sits right on the beach. Loved the boathouse and ping pong was a hit with my kids. We would love to stay here again sometime in the future. Thanks for sharing your beach house!!

Staying at this lovely home has become an annual event for our family. We always have the most wonderful time! The kids have learned to kayak on their own using the provided kayaks and stand up paddle boards. We always make our way through at least half of the board games. And my youngest has really enjoyed playing the Lego video game. The boathouse is also a favorite! The kids love to play ping pong and the ring on the string game. The spacious deck is one of my favorite places and the place where we hang out the most. I would 10 out of 10 recommend this place!

This property was everything I expected, and just as it seemed in the listing. Beautiful and relaxing. A bonus I didn't notice in the listing was the swimming dock just off the shore. Owner was very responsive and helpful. One minor adjustment I'd add is that the confirmation email seemed to indicate that K cups were necessary. However, there is also a traditional coffee pot. Highly recommend this vacation home!

We had a lovely time at this charming beach house with two families in mid June. The property was perfect - cozy, clean and with plenty of things to do - ping pong, beach bonfires, bird and seal watching from the deck, and with a very well stocked kitchen for our group of cooks! Highly recommend, we plan to return!

We've been coming to this home every year for the past few years, but this year was special! Karen notified us of orcas passing through the canal one morning and we got to see them 3 times over the course of our trip. This was so special and everyone was thrilled. The property as always was amazing and we had a great time as per usual!!! We'll be back next year.

My friends and I stayed at this property last year and had such a great time that we thought we would make it an annual occurrence. It was horribly stormy for our stay but having the games in the boathouse saved the day as we enjoyed two days of ping pong, chatting, listening to music (with the house Bose speaker), and having a great time. Hopefully next year our weekend won’t be as stormy so we can put in some time on the water line we did the year before. Really great experience again!

This VRBO is amazing. It is nicely updated and had almost everything we needed. The first thing you will notice when you enter is the water view, then you step out on the back deck and won’t want to leave. Thank you for sharing this location with us. If you like to cook while you are there I would bring your own pans. We had some trouble with not enough pans and some of them would stick. Other than that, we loved the place and no one wanted to go home.

Stayed for a Family gathering in Tahuya. This property served as overflow as it was nearby other family. Charming property with lots of personality. Would definitely stay here again, and my cousin may book it for a get away. Beautiful beachfront location with all the perfect appointments for a cozy stay. We were lucky with the weather in March. Loved coffee on the deck in the late mornings once the fog burned off. Owners were great to communicate with.

This is such a wonderful property. The house is well stocked, beds are comfortable, owners are easy to communicate with, and there are lots of games and puzzles to keep kids (and grow ups) occupied. We had so much fun in the game room/boathouse and enjoyed sitting by the fire on the beach. Thank you Matt and Karen for sharing your home! We hope to return some day.
