Alderbrook Area Waterfront Beach Cottage, All Season Escape- Spectacular Views!!

Highlights were the superb deck overlooking the very south (hook end) of Hood Canal. The 12-14 foot tide changes were dramatic and brought out spectacular wildlife -- bald eagles, caspian terns all diving for fish; herons; incredible array of seals. Olympic mountains in the background and wonderful sunsets. Nearby Alderbrook golf course a great treat for the golfers.Commercial oysters at Taylor farms in nearby Shelton is the safest and tasties way to go. Really cute, quaint, family friendly place -- feels like your old family home. House and decking and furniture and beds, etc. all in great shape. Plenty of supplies in kitchen -- unlike many VRBO places. Well done.

Host was very helpful and communicative!Responses were almost immediate!Well equipped kitchen, bathrooms, and beds downstairs (didn’t need to use upstairs) were exceptionally comfortable!Loved using the old fashioned (original) microwave. Nostalgic oven, just like my mom had. Be gentle with the oven door, should be held until fully open, very springy?Stove was amazing-much more advanced than I’ve ever used.THE BEST PART: the wildlife! Host was NOT kidding!Bald Eagles!! One even stood at the waters edge at morning low tide, just below the deck!So many seals, loons, ducks, egrets, hawks, gulls.Sunsets were gorgeous, & the scenery!I hadn’t read the instructions well enough, we didn’t take either type of fuel, so we didn’t get to BBQ. But that led to sampling the cafes- so good!

We stayed at the cottage for five nights. Really enjoyed the proximity to the canal and the beautiful views. Also, enjoyed watching the seals on a daily basis. Even watched one catch and eat a large fish, with seagulls watching for leftovers. The host was most gracious and easy to reach when we needed to. The only down side was the fire above Cushman Lake that sometimes impacted our views and activities we wanted to engage in.

This is a beautiful HOME that has everything you want...nature, games, comfortable beds, indoor/outdoor gathering space, etc.

We had a Wonderful Stay!! The view was fantastic!! Your Decor was especially pleasant and unique.

Staying at Kathy's cottage was so wonderful the whole cottage was unbelievably perfect! My husband and I rented it so that our kids and grandkids could come and spend the time with us! I loved the boho bungalow Gypsy feel of the whole place and it was so well equipped. We definitely would love to come back maybe for a Christmas gathering.

Great location! Cute and homey cottage right on the water. Lots of nice touches. Kitchen has everything you need. Owner was very responsive and easy to work with. We’d stay here again!

Stayed extra days before and after a nearby wedding weekend…..

This cozy waterfront cottage was everything we were looking for. Our house was being renovated. Beautiful location. Enjoyed sitting on the deck and relaxing watching the view and wild life.
