Quaint beachfront home with bulkhead and swim float.

The best happy hour is whatever hour you choose at Preble Beach. Located on the south shore of Hood Canal about 15 minutes west of Belfair, ten minutes east of Alderbrook Resort & Spa and less than two miles from Twanoh State Park, where you can launch your boat and go for a hike (Discover Pass accessible, park launch fees are $8). Bring your floaties, kayaks and sunscreen, and kick back and enjoy the stunning sunsets.

Preble Beach is a two bedroom, two bathroom open floor plan, waterfront rambler. The utility room has a washer and dryer, games and outdoor towels. Both bedrooms have large closets and dressers. One room has a single queen with an ensuite bath, the second bedroom has two twins. The second bath is large and is accessed via common space. The house sits up on a bulkhead, has a huge deck with unobstructed views, stair access down to the beach (shared with our fabulous neighbors), outdoor shower, swim float and parking for two vehicles. The kitchen has a drip coffee maker, toaster, water kettle and is stocked with pots and pans, plates, cups etc. Large dining table inside well as a breakfast bar with two stools, additional dining area outside on the deck.

The Hood Canal beaches are a mixture of sand, rock, oysters and shells, so appropriate footwear is strongly encouraged - think Aqua Sox, Tevas and Keen water shoes. Guests are welcome to pick oysters and clams if they obtain an appropriate shellfish license. Every now and then warm red tides or algae blooms come through the canal causing a temporary hold on shellfish harvest, please plan accordingly and conform to local laws.

Children - Preble Beach is NOT set up for toddlers. This house can be a huge safety hazard for curious little ones as the deck does NOT have rails or gates preventing your wee wanderers from finding their way down the concrete steps onto the beach/into the water, onto the neighbors property, or onto the busy road. The house is best enjoyed by immobile infants, or confident children who understand boundaries and potential risks. For similar reasons, this is why we do not accept pets at our house. We also do not provide any pack n' plays, cribs, high chairs etc.
