About this property

Beautiful Hood Canal Home at the Water's Edge--Sweeping Views and Sandy Beach

Welcome to Our Peace of Paradise! Enjoy stunning, expansive views of the Hood Canal, Whidbey Island, and Foulweather Bluff at this beautiful, two-level, beachfront home. You have the option of renting just one of the two levels (each complete with a kitchen and bathroom) for smaller groups, or you can rent the entire home for a larger group of up to 11 people. For information about reserving only one level, please email the owner.

The upper level of the home has a master bedroom with deck access, a king-size bed, and an ensuite marble bathroom with a jetted tub and walk-in shower. There are two other bedrooms on this level, each with a queen-size bed and an adjoining bathroom with a shower. An open, fully equipped kitchen with Corian countertops, a dining room, two steps to a sunken living room, and a full-length deck complete this level.

The home’s lower level has two bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed. There is one bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is also fully equipped and the large living room has ground-level beach access.

From nearly every room in the home you can take in the incredible views of the water, mountains, and watch the wildlife. The beach is open for community use, as is the small boat launch next door. You can take leisurely walks through the neighborhood or on the beach. As you explore the area, be sure to stop by the small towns of Port Ludlow, Port Gamble, Kingston, and Chimacum. Also, the beautiful, Victorian tourist destination of Port Townsend is only a 35 minute drive away (22.2 miles), offering many entertainment, dining, and sight-seeing opportunities.

Perfect for extended family stay

Beautiful sprawling house with incredible views. Loved the comfortable bedrooms with en-suite baths. An otter colony passed by daily, we frequently saw seals, kingfishers, and bald eagles. One afternoon there was an orca whale in the canal. A great introduction to the Olympic peninsula for our family group ranging from 10-86!

Great stay and perfect location

Me and 8 other friends visited olympic national park with this home being at right location for us to travel all the parts of national park. The location of the house itself is very ideal and lot of great views directly from the house. The house is very spacious with access to private beach. I would definitely recommend and be back to enjoy the stay.

Nice place for a family right on the water!

Good fit for our family. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, ample refrigerator space, and the outdoor grill was functional. Nice laundry facilities. Beds are comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, well kept and friendly. The view is beautiful and the beach was fun for the kids when the tide was low. Overall a great experience!

Fabulous Family Vacation

We felt so blessed to be able to stay in this wonderful home on the Hood Canal… a taste of what it would be like to have a generational waterfront vacation home that we have not been able to acquire on our own. It was perfect for our extended family of 10. It was private and beautiful, comfortable and well equipped, and a luxury to be on a sandy beach for the little ones to dig/play in the sand. On our second day, our 3 year old said “I want to go play sand again”! We loved it!!

All the comforts of home.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was well stocked with everything needed. In fact it felt like coming home. An open floor plan, and ample bedrooms and baths gave everyone their own space. The sandy beach was great for the kids and we were fortunate to have calm seas the entire time for kayaking and beach combing. Would definitely return.

The pictures do not do the water views justice. At times it feels like you are on a cruise ship. We saw otters, dolphins and even a sea lion from the deck!
