About this property

Hood Canal Waterfront Home - Incredible Views, Wildlife, EV Charger, Kayaks!

Awesome waterfront vacation home on Hood Canal at Lilliwaup Bay! Incredible 180-degree views of the Canal from nearly every room in the home. Level 2 EV charger. Great Kayaking right from the private beach (five kayaks and two rowboats and life vests for complementary use by guests). Nearly 100’ of private low-bank waterfront and tidelands. Oysters and clam digging are nearby (subject to WDFW regulations). The bay is home to Bald Eagles, numerous species of waterfowl, Blue Heron, King Fishers, migratory and resident salmon ( King, Silver, Chum), seals, sea lions, otters, and occasionally Orcas.

The relaxing home is situated on a huge lot away from highway 101 giving it uncommon privacy and quiet compared to other Canal properties. A large deck which overlooks the water is equipped with a gas barbecue. Additionally, located feet from the water is a fire pit for campfires and/or barbecuing.

Built in 2008, the home has modern amenities such as Level 2 EV charger, granite countertops, stone gas fireplace, 50” and two 43” HD smart TVs (Netflix and Amazon Prime Video) with Blue Ray DVD player, high speed internet, stereo system, and a modern fully equipped kitchen. The home is a custom-built home and while it has all the modern conveniences it also has a charming rustic feel to it. Great views from nearly every room including the upstairs loft master bedroom.
By master bedroom has a king bed and the second bedroom has a queen bed. Additionally, the living room has a queen sleeper sofa, and a portable twin XL is available as well.

Wonderful Family Memories

The property owner was very considerate and made sure we got into the property during our check-in window. The property is well maintained and absolutely beautiful. Our son (2 years) really loved walking around outside and seeing all the shells on the ground. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

A Gem Nestled on the Bay

From the quality of the home to the stunning views of the water, you can’t pass up the opportunity to stay here! Views abound from every vantage point. Kids will love the pea gravel beach and lots of entertainment options with row boats, kayaks, and swimming when it’s warm. We can’t say enough about this wonderful place! As with most waterfront homes this is tucked up next to the neighbors but zero noise pollution and/or highway noise.

Hood Canal Gem

We had high hopes for our stay at this property and we were NOT disappointed! The view from the house and on the patios is stunning! The weather was ideal for our stay, but if it hadn't been, we would still have been able to enjoy the setting. We took advantage of the well appointed kitchen and patio barbecue to eat in and took a few excursions to nearby scenes, but mostly enjoyed a relaxing time on the property with my 90-year-old mother. There was a little glitch with the access code when we arrived, but Jay had it corrected before I had a chance to contact him. Later in our stay, we accidentally locked ourselves out and Jay was able to help us immediately. Thank you Jay! I can recommend this property without hesitation and will definitely consider booking it again for a relaxing get-away.

The home was clean, well furnished, and the kitchen was well appointed and fully functional. Good communication with host. Great view as advertised, we saw sea lions and otters off the deck, as well as a variety of birds including a bald eagle who lives nearby. We had to improvise on our original plans as the closest entrance to Olympic National Park (Staircase) was closed due to the Bear Gulch Fire. Instead, we visited nearby state parks (nice trails at Lake Isabella State Park). We also loved Hama Hama Oyster Farm & Store. Get a dozen oysters in a bucket from the store and shuck them yourselves on site. Overall, a perfect low-key place to stay along the Hood Canal.

We fell in love with Jay's home (and Hood Canal!) the first time we visited and this was our third stay. Every time we stay somewhere else we compare it to this property. It's great to have multiple kayaks and row boats to use. Everyone in our family gets out on the water (ages range from 11-85!). Jay's a wonderful host, too...great communication, extra touches that make your stay easy and feel like a cozy home, and very accommodating. We'll be back! Thanks!

2nd stay and was just as relaxing as the first time. My 5 year old loves this spot. We love going down to the water to look for rocks (we have a rock tumbler). We love watching the seals, and this stay, we got to see Orcas! It was amazing. It is so quaint and peaceful. The window from the loft has the most spectacular view. It is Exactly what you would need for a relaxing getaway. We have taken the boats out both times, but have not used the kayaks. They are a great bonus!

Amazing!

This is a stunner property. Everything is there for u to enjoy. We even locked ourselves out and the owner came and kindly unlocked the house for us. The view and accomodations were outstanding and we will for sure be back! Our only recommendation is bring slippers because the main floor has cement floors that are beautiful but cold on bare feet.

Little slice of Heaven...

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! Perfect place to unplug, view beautiful scenery and watch the wildlife! Upon walking in I found a lovely welcome note and fresh cut flowers on the table! What a great way to kick off our stay! We really needed a place to unwind and unplug after a very busy 5 months of work, graduation and college planning. And I don't think we could have found a better spot to stay! The home has everything that you need, just like if you were in your own home. The upstairs bedroom is huge and waking up to that view was amazing! We spent a lot of time sitting outside by the fire pit. A little too windy to enjoy the kayaks but there were plenty to choose from. Low and high tide brought out so many animals, I was thankful there were binoculars! Sitting one night I thought I was watching otters in the bay area to the left. Nope, they were a little family of 5 harbor seals! So interesting to watch them dive and feed. They even came around to the front of the property to check us out! Sitting one morning I noticed some large birds across the bay to the left. I thought crows. Nope, they were eagle fledglings with Mom and Dad nearby! We watched them both morning and night. We also watched the seagulls at low tide - they would find a clam, fly up high, and drop it onto the rocky shore to crack it open! We were greeted by a deer the first night outside the kitchen window too! Conveniently located to ONP, grocery and restaurants!

Amazing House and Location!

We were beyond pleased with our stay. Jay was super helpful and responsive, and his home is amazing. We were able to ride Go-Karts at Ridge Motorsports, hike at Olympic National Park (with a stop at Lake Cushman!), ride the railcars at Vance Creek Railriders, and enjoy the kayaks on the property. We had a deer and her baby visit us while we sat at the fire pit, saw seals, a bald eagle and enjoyed a stunning view. I would stay here again without a doubt!!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Hanville

Host profile image
I am a retired lifelong Northwesterner. I love the great outdoors and many associated activities such as fishing, boating, kayaking, wildlife, golf, skiing, Seattle Mariners, live music.

Why they chose this property

I bought the lot in 2007 and built the house in 2008. I was lucky to find this great location and chose it for its amazing views, beach and fishing/boating opportunities! I love the fact that the property is not right on highway 101 (unlike most other waterfront homes on the Canal) which provides for peace and quiet. I have since discovered it is a bird watchers dream (Bald Eagles, Killdeer, NUMEROUS waterfowl, Kingfishers, Blue Heron, etc.....).
