About this property

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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This is our 3rd or 4th stay here. It is just the perfect size for the two of us. Clean and tidy. I just want to sit outside and enjoy the water, and it is the perfect spot for that. I feel very comfortable there. If available, we will return again and again.

Amazing stay!

This property is so peaceful! My husband & I really enjoyed our stay here. The house could easily sleep 5.The kitchen was well stocked. No complaints! The views are spectacular! The house is currently for sale, and I truly hope the new owners continue to rent it out through VRBO, because we want to stay again!

Family getaway

Great location, close to so many wonderful areas. The view from the deck was amazing! We saw sea lions, jellyfish, crab, fish, and a variety of birds, including eagles. The sunsets were breathtaking. The house was comfortable, well stocked, and furnished comfortably. The views from the windows were great. Parking was super easy and made loading and unloading a breeze. Great place to stay!!!!

Heaven on Hood

Home away from home. This little waterfront shack feels even warmer under new ownership and management. It has everything you need to enjoy every second of it. Dip into the waters of healing Hood right from the deck steps or enjoy the views from inside when it’s cooler outside. Three years, multiple visits with family and friends and hopefully many more to come. Inna M

This place is amazing!

Stayed here over July 4 holiday with my two kids. Simply fantastic! The deck and view are enchanting. Inside was fantastic. About 10 minute drive to Mason Lake where friends were staying. There's a gas station with beer/snacks about 3 minutes away, and a full Safeway about 15-20. It's also a few minutes from Twanoh State Park which has a very easy and very beautiful hike. Owners are communicative and kind!

Hood Canal gem

This house is right on the water and has a wonderful view of Hood Canal and the Olympic mountains (on a clear day). It is so relaxing and peaceful. We love watching the weather, the birds, otters, and seals. We love watching the tide go in and out, and playing games as a family. Twanoh State Park is minutes away, and Hunter Farms is 18 minutes away, where you can get Olympic Mountain ice cream. We drove to the Hama Hama Farm Store to pick up oysters and clams for dinner. So good! We hope to stay there again in the future.

Great view!

The wall of windows, viewing the Olympic Range was the big selling point! We watched the tides, the seals, loons and seagulls in the panoramic landscape. The home is clean and the older kitchen is well equipped. We wished for a bit more soft seating, just has one loveseat and two chairs was not enough. More reading light in main room was needed. The washer/dryer was great. A bit of road noise in bedrooms so pack your earplugs. This home is all about the view and canal!

Cozy, beach house with bountiful oysters and clams.

We absolutely loved our stay at Gary and Sammie's Hood Canal beach house. The photos don't do the property justice as there are so many updates and everything has been well equiped and thought out for their guests. The house was spotless, and as clean as a hotel. Gary and Sammie made the check in (through customized key code) an easy process. We were able to dig a whole bowl full of clams in less than 30 minutes and also an unlimited amount of oysters directly from their beach. We made Linguine Alla Vongole (clams), fried clams and oysters, baked oysters, as well as had them fresh out of the shell. A seafood lovers dream house! The next door neighbor was not home, so we had complete privacy. The water views were breathtaking as we watched birds swoop and dive into the water for fish. Binoculars were provided as well as a bird chart. We played with the board games and card games that were provided. I am actually worried that such a review may make it harder for us to come back as it's a diamond in the rough. But we enjoyed the house so much, that a fantastic review is well deserved. Thank you so much Gary and Sammy for a very memorable weekend with my wife and two teen boys! We will be back for sure.

Family Birthday Getaway

When we arrived we were very excited to spend a few days in this amazing waterfront beach home. It was clean and the fireplace gave the perfect welcome ambiance. The deck was amazing to sit and soak up the fall sunshine. The owners were very prompt in responding and would definitely love to spend another vacation here.

What makes this property unique

You will not find many vacation homes on the Canal that sit on a bulkhead. At high tide it can feel as though you are living on a boat!
