About this property

Beautiful Hood Canal Home at the Water's Edge--Sweeping Views and Sandy Beach

Welcome to Our Peace of Paradise! Enjoy stunning, expansive views of the Hood Canal, Whidbey Island, and Foulweather Bluff at this beautiful, two-level, beachfront home. You have the option of renting just one of the two levels (each complete with a kitchen and bathroom) for smaller groups, or you can rent the entire home for a larger group of up to 11 people. For information about reserving only one level, please email the owner.

The upper level of the home has a master bedroom with deck access, a king-size bed, and an ensuite marble bathroom with a jetted tub and walk-in shower. There are two other bedrooms on this level, each with a queen-size bed and an adjoining bathroom with a shower. An open, fully equipped kitchen with Corian countertops, a dining room, two steps to a sunken living room, and a full-length deck complete this level.

The home’s lower level has two bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed. There is one bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is also fully equipped and the large living room has ground-level beach access.

From nearly every room in the home you can take in the incredible views of the water, mountains, and watch the wildlife. The beach is open for community use, as is the small boat launch next door. You can take leisurely walks through the neighborhood or on the beach. As you explore the area, be sure to stop by the small towns of Port Ludlow, Port Gamble, Kingston, and Chimacum. Also, the beautiful, Victorian tourist destination of Port Townsend is only a 35 minute drive away (22.2 miles), offering many entertainment, dining, and sight-seeing opportunities.

For everyone’s safety and peace of mind, the property has one exterior security camera located above the driveway. It monitors only the driveway and parking area. The camera does not face or record any private or interior spaces.

Arriving after dark, our first impression was of the cleanliness and spaciousness of the home. Beds were comfortable and all amenities that we could think of were considered. We woke to the amazing views of the Hood Canal and the Cascades in the distance. Our only regret is that we didn’t book here in the summer when this waterfront property can be maximized. The home is a time capsule of the early 90s in many ways but in no way does any of it feel old or run down—in fact we found it full of our own parallel storiesThe five beds comfortably would sleep ten in pairs

The house and beach/waterfront are very private and so very peaceful. We all (including grandchildren) loved our time on the beach: exploring at low tide, kayaking, digging in the sand, flying kites, and watching the sea otters and eagles! It couldn’t have been any better… so special having such a beautiful spot to spend with my family!
When we returned the rest of the family was arriving for our day on the beach.
The kids had lots of fun digging holes in the sand and getting “buried”!

Perfect for extended family stay

Beautiful sprawling house with incredible views. Loved the comfortable bedrooms with en-suite baths. An otter colony passed by daily, we frequently saw seals, kingfishers, and bald eagles. One afternoon there was an orca whale in the canal. A great introduction to the Olympic peninsula for our family group ranging from 10-86!
