Exceeded expectations!

This place is a gem! It was even better than the photos and the host did a great job with all the details to make our stay comfortable. It was a very easy place to be and the views and wildlife were spectacular. Comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, and even floaties, towels and water shoes for the beach were provided.

Peefect for cooking & staying in

Found this gem on Vrbo and loved it; especially impressed with the kitchen - lots of cookware, morw than just the basics, and plenty of space for two couples or family meal.Lovely deck with easy access at low tide to clamming and oyster picking. Couple of blankets perfect for morning coffee. Lots of nice touches, making for a very comfortable stay. We will very likely be back.

Excellent stay with Glorious Views

I arrived during a very cold afternoon and was greeted by a warm house with beautiful views. The lovely home was absolutely clean and a peaceful place. There were extra blankets provided for the extraordinarily cold days and nights. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked and so lovely. I wish I could live here full time. I truly love this place (I must as this was my second time staying in less than a year.). Truly recommend staying here!!

About the host

Hosted by KEVIN P EHLERS

Host profile image
We are married for 29 years and have 2 children in the 20's. We take pride in providing an immaculately clean and tidy home. We enjoy hearing back from satisfied guests that have had a enjoyable experience staying at the beach house rental. We ask that guests share information about themselves and the accurate number of people when making an instant booking or rental inquiry.

Why they chose this property

The home is built right on the oyster beach and at high tide with the waves lapping against the bulkhead, you might think you are on a boat! Low tide brings many, MANY eagles, herons and salmon.

Unlike most waterfront vacation rentals, this home has surprising privacy. No neighbors watching you, no resident homeowner cramping your style.

The house is on the water side of the street - no crossing the road to get to the beach!

The property is fenced for the safety of pets and children.

What makes this property unique

The Union City Beach house is the perfect vacation spot! This peaceful location is just a four minute walk to picturesque downtown Union, the Union Country Store, the Union City Market, the Dos Margaritas Mexican Restaurant and the Hood Canal Marina and public boat launch.

The Alderbrook Resort is just a 3 minute drive and guests can rent kayaks, SUP's and other watercraft. Spa services and restaurants are also available to the general public.
