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

Jay, our host, was so welcoming and gracious. The house was lovely and very comfortable. And of course, the view was beautiful!

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.

Lovely home, great location!

Fantastic Stay. Super Clean. Host is the best. Beds comfortable. All appliances top shelf. View is incredible from property. My highest recommendation for a good stay

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!

Wonderful! Our second time here. Let us know when your calendar is open for next summer!D&M

The house was beautiful and clean! It had everything we needed and more! We loved having access to the beach and kayaks. It was so quiet and peaceful! There were many wild animals to watch for-otters, bald eagles, seals, hummingbirds, and more! The perfect place for a family getaway! Thanks!

The owner was very responsive and made sure the property had everything needed. Great views and location. EV charger was a big plus. Home was extremely clean

This is such a beautiful property. The house is well-appointed and clean and bright.

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!

Our fourth stay at Jay’s charming home on the canal. It has everything you would need and then some. We will be back for more soon.

A time for reconnecting, exploring new paths and inner space, this HOME was all that Lifetime movies want you to believe. Simply, the perfect place and space to be family! Thank you, Jay!!

Wonderful home and location! Have already booked again!

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.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We enjoyed the kayaking, exploring the oyster bed during low tide, and the incredible view. Jay is very thoughtful with everything provided at the rental. We also appreciated the handwritten welcome card and snacks.

Jay though of everything. A very well stocked home away from home. To wake up with that view from the master is breathtaking. Thanks for the great stay.

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!

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!!

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!

Jay was awesome to communicate and work with. The property and views are spectacular. You will not regret staying here. It’s worth every penny. He provides a ton of amenities like kayaks, movies, and additional supplies as needed. Pick this place if you can, you won’t regret it.

Gorgeous property, attentive host. The place was perfect, beautiful and clean. Amazing location and fantastic view. Outstanding proximity to Olympic National Park and quick ferry to Seattle. Would most definitely recommend staying here for a spectacular vacation!!!
