We had a lovely memorial day weekend at Randy's home. The views from the deck were great, and we really enjoyed kayaking and paddleboarding during the day. Meals outside were also glorious. The kitchen was well equipped with just about anything you'd need! Would highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Hood Canal.

Thanks Max! We really enjoyed having your group for Memorial Day Weekend. Glad you enjoyed the deck, we spend most of our time on the deck when we are there. It’s like watching a nature movie. It sounds like you guys just missed the Orcas cruising through the last few days. We make extra effort to make sure the place is comfortable and well equipped with all the pleasures of home, and glad you and your group recognized it. We look forward to having you back at Tide’s End soon!

Thank you Becky, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Tide’s End, but not surprised as the beach house is a little slice of heaven. We always go the extra mile with our furnishings, linens and other amenities to make sure our guests have the most memorable experience with the utmost comfort. I’m glad the Orca’s decided to buzz by and give you a show from the deck. We look forward to your return visit next year.

We had a lovely 5 night stay and some beautiful weather. The home is right on hood canal and when the tide is high you can dangle your feet into the water from the water from the deck - so bring your paddle board or kayak! Serene, comfortable, clean and well appointed. There was AC to knock down the heat when things got a bit hot or you could sit on the deck when the breeze rolled in. We found everything that a family of 4 and one dog would need for their stay, including dishes, cookware, and baking pans. It’s a short drive from the Bremerton ferry dock - about 30 minutes. It is along a road where cars drive faster than they should but there’s a gate to secure little ones or animals in the property. Not a great road for a dog walk though - we drove to the state park about 4 miles down the road when the dog wanted to stretch beyond the yard. Would absolutely recommend and book another stay.

Wow! You pretty much nailed it on your review, it doesn’t get any better than spending time on that deck, watching wildlife and beautiful sunsets. We have watched orca come through on many occasions. We make the extra effort to make sure the place is very comfortably furnished with top-of-the-line beds, linens, furniture and all the kitchen appliances and amenities you could possibly imagine. We are glad you appreciated it. We look forward to your next stay at Tide’s End. Thanks again for booking with us.

Cute house!

This property is right on the water! Great view and easy access to the water. The beds were very comfortable and the house was nicely stocked with all that you needed. We loved the deck! It is completely enclosed for dogs or small children. The bbq area is wonderful! But what we all loved the most was the outdoor shower! Wow! I would definitely recommend this place!

Beth, thank you for the review. You really nailed the benefits of our beach house, and glad you appreciated it so much. We take extreme efforts to make sure the beds, and furniture are very comfortable. We have stocked the kitchen with every appliance necessary to feel like home. The 40 foot deck is the gem of the beach house along with the lower fire pit/bbq area right on the water, and glad you enjoyed these amenities. And of course, the outdoor private shower, roomy and comfortable, is one of the best features of Tide's End.. Thank you for your recommendation, and look forward to you staying with us again.

Perfect Getaway by Hood Canal with Excellent Host and Stunning Views

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cabin by Hood Canal! The place has so much character, and the bed is incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything we needed, and the deck provided the perfect spot to relax and watch the tides come and go. Randy is a fantastic host who communicated with us promptly and clearly. He even offered us the use of his kayak, though we didn't get to use it because the water was a bit too choppy. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your review. We are so excited you had such a great time at Tide’s End. The deck is quite amazing, you can actually get mesmerized watching the sea life, the sunsets and the tides come and go…..with an occasional orca sighting now and then. A lot of effort goes into making the place extremely comfortable, with top-of-the-line furnishings, bedding, and linens and I’m glad you recognized and enjoyed it. We look forward to having you back soon, and hopefully the water will be calm enough to use the paddle boards and kayaks. Thanks again for booking with us!

Waterfront and Charm

It was very interesting and fun to watch the tide come in and go out. We used both paddle boards and kayaks and appreciated that life vests were available too. Our grandkids got a kick out of the many little crabs scurrying around the water’s edge and the handful of beautiful starfish enjoying the warm sun. We found it very clean and tidy, we liked the fun nautical décor, and comfy furniture. It has a well-stocked kitchen with a large pantry that came in handy. The beds are comfy with nice sheets and our grandkids enjoyed the bunk beds. There’s plenty of towels including lots of beach towels. The patio deck offers beautiful views and has great furniture to relax and enjoy each other, it’s completely safe and enclosed for small children and our little dog. We used the lower patio to BBQ and enjoyed gathering around the nice seating in the evening with a glass of wine. There is plenty of hiking and sightseeing nearby. Randy is a responsive, wonderful host.

House on the water

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in the house. I couldn’t believe how close the water came to the decking. House was well furnished and kitchen well stocked. We brought all the food but there is a Qfc and safeway in Belfair. Great spot to get away from it all.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had a lovely vacation at Tide's End. The property was perfect for our family with elementary-aged kids. We all had a blast in the water and enjoyed almost every daylight moment on the deck. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and the house was very clean. And the outdoor shower is amazing! I appreciated the owner's detailed welcome instructions and thoughtful texts. We felt very welcomed and prepared for everything. There is not much I would change about our trip. We brought a few of our own games and puzzles, which I recommend bringing for a rainy day. My only advice for travelers: Bring band aids! Everyone in our family had an encounter with a sharp oyster shell -- a very PNW souvenir.

Beautiful October

Great location, the patio is what sells this place. Great selection in kitchen of pans & pots, nice plates for cooking in. Full closet of towels for indoors & outdoors. Clean sheets/bedding & comfortable beds and sleeping arrangements. A couple of suggestions that would make it better/cozier for the fall/winter months when you can't spend all the time on the patio. Throw blankets on the couches. Games/puzzles for indoor activities. Cleaning could have been more thorough and kitchen needs organizing and maybe getting rid of some the older things & replacing with new. Also would suggest some information on the local area- restaurants, hikes, family friendly, kid friendly, adult only, etc. Instructions for remote (volume on TV would not cooperate) would go from MUTE to very loud.

Anna, thanks for the review. Yes, we agree the 40 foot deck overlooking the water is the selling feature for the place. We take great pride in our efforts to make sure the place is furnished with comfortable and well appointed furniture, bedding and other amenities. There are several extra throw blankets available that can be used in the family room. I'm surprised to here about the cleaning as our housekeeper is thorough and diligent and I have a property manager that inspects the place following cleanings. This was a same day turn so she may have not had the time she usually takes to clean the place. My Welcome Package includes information on what to do in the surrounding area and has detailed instructions for TV use and everything else to make guest's stays stress free. I would guess you forgot to print out the Welcome Package prior to your arrival. Look forward to your return visit and a 5 star review as the Tide's End beach house deserves.
