A little piece of Rainer over the canal.

This was a beautiful property. Spacious and comfortable with lots of activities. There was always something to do. It was also very relaxing. Watching the marine life was one of my favorite parts. I hope to stay there again.

Family Waterfront Luxury !!

The online pictures do not do justice for the reality of the home. From the inviting entrance to the panoramic views from inside and the relaxing balcony seating PLUS the water activities! Our family enjoyed the weekend getaway - there was something fun to do for all ages! The comfort of home but the luxury of a hotel resort. We will definitely be back and have already referred family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn T. Tong

Host profile image
We love how many wonderful memories we've made at our beach house. We enjoy meeting new guests and their families and hope the experience here, will bring memorable moments for all.

Why they chose this property

Hood Canal is a quiet town just 30 min from Olympia. It feels like vacation but it's not too far away and does not require a lot of planning. We love this area because it's surrounded by nature, wildlife and the beautiful views. If you're an outdoor adventurer, you're in for a treat. There are many nearby hikes, not to mention famous Lake Cushman, Mount Ellinor in the Olympic National Park. It's very family friendly! The town of Hoodsport is quaint with many tour guides and local restaurants. If you've ever heard of famous Hama Hama Saloon, it's only 18 mins drive from our location.

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out as one of few homes with its own dock. The view of the Canal is phenomenal. I cannot do it justice with words. You have my personal invite to come see it in person.
