    We love our stay here. Great view. See lots of eagles and blue herons during low tides and many otters around. The house is very clean and fills our need. The only thing we feel inconvenience is that we were instructed to call the owner to obtain the access code around noon on the check-in day. This means we will have to stop by some place having signal at that time. As result, we have to rearrange our itinerary (hiking) accordingly. We may go back again.

    We stayed at the Union Beach House rental for a full week May 13 to May 26. In our 50 years of travels, hands down, it was one of the top places we have rented!! From the adorable flower/garden entrance to the side fire pit area, to the huge back deck with gorgeous views of Hood Canal and mountains was amazing! The inside of this home was spotless and had everything you could need and then some! The owner Kevin was great! He was quick to respond (even while he was away) for a simple T.V. remote issue. We are from Massachusetts on the Atlantic and wanted to see Washington state and ONP area. We were looking for a quiet place with amazing views and got it and more! Sitting on the deck day and night was great! We saw so many eagles in nests and flying by. Loved watching the daily seal pups! So very cute! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets each day. Shelton just 20-minute drive for restaurants, groceries etc. One day we drove rt. 101 to Quinault Rain Forest and another to Port Angeles, Hurricane Ridge and Crescent Lake area. The drives were long, but lots to see along the way. Having this rental as a homebase made it well worth it!!! We also took a day to drive up and explore Poulsbo, Point No Point beach/ lighthouse, Port Gamble and over the Hood canal bridge, stopped at (famous) Fat Smitty's and drove to top of Mt Walker! Can't say enough about this fabulous rental! If you are looking for a relaxing, beautiful place.... this is it! A top 10 rental for sure! Thank you Kevin!

    The pictures don't do it justice. The views of the hood canal and the olympics are astounding! This property is wonderful, from the amenities and attention to detail, to its charm and beauty. We loved the beach access giving our pup an opportunity to dive in and dry on the deck in the sun. Pro tip: re-orient the small reclining couch to face the mountains for a romantic sunset view.Will definitely be back!

    This was our fourth time staying at this property and it was absolutely amazing. The property was beautiful. The outside landscaping was nice. The house was clean and well stocked. We had the most wonderful weather and the views are incredible. The whole trip was a giant success. We were able to walk on the beach and sit on the deck and just relax. The outdoor furniture is in great shape. We didn't use them, but there is a fire pit and gas barbecue if you want. There also was so much wildlife. Eagles in the trees behind the house as well as out on the beach at low tide. Cranes, ducks, seagulls and seals right in front of us that we could watch from the deck. Kevin was easy to work with and the house was pet-friendly, too. HIGHLY recommend this home.

    Extremely clean and well-appointed home with spectacular views. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. The Olympic mountains were unfortunately shrouded in smoke, then clouds, but we thoroughly enjoyed watching the abundant marine life. We saw numerous seals, heron, geese, and more. And so many oysters! The outdoor deck seating and fire pit overlooking the water provided a much-needed relaxing and serene weekend.

    If you're looking at this property and hesitating for any reason, just click the Book button and go for it. The location is absolutely perfect for enjoying wonderful views of the Hood Canal. We saw seals, fish, birds, and was able to walk the beach at low tide and pick oysters. Turns out the inside is pretty nice too. Great kitchen, and we had everything we needed to cook meals (you will still want to plan for ingredients). Beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean and spacious. The living room was nice and comfy, and the large windows make you feel like you are sitting outside on the wonderful deck. So, what are you waiting for?

    The property is absolutely wonderful. The house has everything anyone could need. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and utensils. We slept like babies as the bed was extremely comfortable. It was fun to watch all the wild life. One morning there were 12 Blue Herons standing in the shallows during low tide. Watched a seal devour about a 10 lb salmon. We live in Spokane and if it wasn't such a long drive, we would try to stay here once every couple of months. Many thanks to the Ehlers for the use of the Union City Beach house. Steve and Deanne, Aug. 3-7, 2025.
