About this property

Alderbrook Area Waterfront Beach Cottage, All Season Escape- Spectacular Views!!

Pointe Marian Beach Cottage is a charming home on a lovely, no-bank, waterfront property with absolutely breathtaking mountain views. Located 3 miles from the Alderbrook Resort, this picturesque retreat is a quick ferry ride or easy drive from Seattle. Despite its proximity to the city, it seems like a million miles away.

Pointe Marian features 2 beautifully appointed bedrooms on the first floor, both furnished with king size beds.

The living room offers a rare treat, a hide-a-bed that WASN'T purchased at a dungeon equipment sale.

The upstairs loft bedroom has a queen size bed and two twin beds--perfect for a couple or a whole family.

You'll love the cozy decor and the cooks in your group will rave about the well-equipped kitchen with a million dollar view!

This romantic cottage will melt your stress away. A jewel perched on the most beautiful stretch of the Hood Canal, the Great Bend, Pointe Marian's vistas will take your breath away. Cuddle by the antique parlor stove and watch the ever-changing variety of water fowl and marine mammals through the huge picture windows. Snap a picture of a harbor seal dozing in the sun. Dine with friends by chandelier light on the deck. Take a dip in the balmy water on a late summer's night.

For those who want to explore the waterways, you'll find a kayak launch on-site. Or, if you don't have kayaks or paddle boards, you can rent them just a short drive away at Alderbrook Resort. If you'd like to bring your motor boat, you'll find the public boat launch just a mile up the road.

Want to go for a drive? Wine tasting and shopping are just minutes away in Hoodsport. Or head up to the Alderbrook Resort for a spa day.

In the mood for a hike? One of the most beautiful and untouched wilderness areas in the world is just up the Peninsula. For an easy picturesque hike, head down to Twanoh State Park on Highway 106.

Are there golfers in your group? Set them loose at the famous Alderbrook Golf Course.

Perhaps you'd like to take an easy stroll from the cottage? Just a mile down the road is to Dos Margaritas Mexican restaurant, a great spot for lunch or dinner. Stop to browse in the antique store on the way.

Right next door to the Mexican restaurant is the Union City Market. Here you’ll find wonderful local art and handmade crafts, as well as delightful local foods and wines.

Then cross the street to the Union Country Store for an ice cream cone (Pointe Marian guests love the Lemon Chiffon) and peruse the quirky collection of merchandise.

Whether you're eager to get out and explore or you prefer to laze away the days relaxing at the water's edge with a book, you'll want to make Pointe Marian Beach Cottage a regular destination!

So much to see and enjoy!

Ever-changing views of the water and mountains were spectacular! Saw a bald eagle try to steal a fresh-caught fish from an osprey in mid-flight. Seals and otters were seen swimming and sunning themselves everyday. The house was welcoming in every way, as was the owner. Great for all ages!

Perfect House for a perfect vacation

Our stay at Point Marian was so wonderful! Every single thing we wanted was provided including a lovely, delicious bottle of wine on arrival to a spare sweatshirt for a chilly morning! The canal was a never ending source of oohs and ahhs with a revolving cast of wildlife right in front of the deck! Sea Hawks, Bald Eagles, Heron, Seal and even a mom and baby deer visited us during our stay. We spent a day exploring the Olympic Forest, kayaked and just relaxed. Thank you for your beautifully decorated and accommodating home. I hope will be able to return someday.

The perfect spot

This home sits on the Great Bend of the Hood Canal, it is the perfect location to explore the estuary of the Skokomish River by Kayak, the home even has a ramp for launching Kayaks. The home itself is more than comfortable, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and unsurpassed views of the canal and mountains beyond. The first night there we were, treated to an incredible sunset, a sunset no painter could do justice to. All during our stay we were treated to a show by the seals that hang around on a raft anchored in the bay, this included flipper slap fights that would do the 3 Stooges proud. The house has an eclectic movie collection that has something for all tastes. My one and only negative is the lack of internet, my traveling companion had a work issue that had to be addressed, we had to resort to driving to the library in Belfair to gain access. That issue aside I would absolutely recommend this property.

Problem with owner

This property is in a very scenic location and has a lovely deck. It is an older and quite small house. The owners have done a very good job decorating it and the house is well stocked with kitchen essentials and goodies. The house itself is quite comfortable, but will not, in my opinion, accommodate more than 4 or 5 people because of the small size. I would have given this property more stars but for the fact that it is situated in very closed proximity (just accross a gravel driveway) to two other cabins and there is little privacy when the neighboring cabins are occupied. There is also no place to hike or walk from the property itself. I also had a dispute with the owner over the deduction of a cleaning fee which was supposed to have been included in the nightly rental amount.

We stayed at the cottage for five nights. Really enjoyed the proximity to the canal and the beautiful views. Also, enjoyed watching the seals on a daily basis. Even watched one catch and eat a large fish, with seagulls watching for leftovers. The host was most gracious and easy to reach when we needed to. The only down side was the fire above Cushman Lake that sometimes impacted our views and activities we wanted to engage in.

Relaxing Canal Retreat

This is the perfect property for a couple or family get away. The hosts provide all kinds of dishes, cook wear, glasses, and kitchen gadgets and spices that allow you to cook a family meal just like you were at home. The house has a great deck with several tables and lots of chairs so family can have meals outside, watch the sun rise & sets or the wildlife that swim by. You will always see lots of seals & eagles. There is a great sand box & toys for kids and a boat ramp to launch your kayak and explore the canal & tide lands. We like this house so much we book a stay every summer.

Beautiful, comfortable spot

On the water, with a magnificent view of the Olympics, just spectacular. The house is not large, but designed and furnished for maximum usability, and it's well and thoughtfully stocked. Being on a septic system, we had to plan showers with time in between, but it was OK. We were glad there was wireless internet, even though the website said there wasn't.

Can’t Recommend Enough

We had a small family reunion of sorts at Pointe Marian. It’s a family friendly snug little cottage that just has everything you could possibly need … a well stocked kitchen, a lovely deck for al fresco dinners and a view to die for! The quirky decor was fun., the beds were comfy and towels plentiful. We loved watching the wildlife at low tide. The oysters from Hama Hama were some of the best I’ve ever had! Great proximity to the ONP and lots of fun spots along Hood Canal. Our host, Kathy was readily available by text and helped promptly with any concerns. I would not hesitate to book again.

Kathy is a wonderful host and the house was so cozy! We had a blast exploring the property and surrounding area with our small children and friends. The view is absolutely gorgeous! There was a lot to do on the property whether we played at the beach or sat around the fire and grilled. The house itself was cozy and comfortable - this is definitely a place that the owners care for and cherish. Kathy added some wonderful personal touches that made us feel very welcome. We'd definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

We are the Wells family--Darrell and Kathy, Peggy and Bill and the kids. We're proud to call the Seattle area home and love to explore the limitless beauty of our region.

Why they chose this property

Having a little waterfront cottage has always been our family dream. We found this gem the summer of 2011 while vacationing on the Hood Canal.
Before we knew it, we were the proud owners of Pointe Marian Beach Cottage, a place we named it in honor our mom/grandma/great-grandma. She was a passionate fisher-woman and had a deep kinship with nature. She would have loved this place.
We are honored to share it with you. We hope you'll make some wonderful memories of your own here.

What makes this property unique

We all live for the times we can spend relaxing with our family at Pointe Marian. As owners of a 70 year old waterfront house, though, we also spend a good deal of time working on maintaining and improving the place. The biggest problem Bill and Kathy have is keeping Darrell and Peggy on task when they'd rather be bird-gazing.
One of our favorite things is getting up at dawn to watch the seals as they awake on our neighbor's swim float.
