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!

About the host

Hosted by KEVIN P EHLERS

Host profile image
We are married for 36 years and have 2 children in their late 20's and 2 young granddaughters. We take pride in providing an immaculately clean and tidy home. We enjoy hearing back from satisfied guests that have had a enjoyable experience staying at the beach house rental. We ask that guests share information about themselves and the accurate number of people when making an instant booking or rental inquiry.

Why they chose this property

The home is built right on the oyster beach and at high tide with the waves lapping against the bulkhead, you might think you are on a boat! Low tide brings many, MANY eagles, herons and salmon.

Unlike most waterfront vacation rentals, this home has surprising privacy. No neighbors watching you, no resident homeowner cramping your style.

The house is on the water side of the street - no crossing the road to get to the beach!

The property is fenced for the safety of pets and children.

What makes this property unique

The Union City Beach house is the perfect vacation spot! This peaceful location is just a four minute walk to picturesque downtown Union, the Union Country Store, the Union City Market, the Dos Margaritas Mexican Restaurant and the Hood Canal Marina and public boat launch.

The Alderbrook Resort is just a 3 minute drive and guests can rent kayaks, SUP's and other watercraft. Spa services and restaurants are also available to the general public.
