No problem renting; great clam beach but no tools (borrowed from neighbors), best features awesome deck & outdoor lights all around, kayaks, comfortable bed, many pillows. Biggest problem lack of dining table inside.

Everything we needed to relax and chill

From the very beginning, Kristie, the host, was cordial and responsive and generous with her time. This is a sweet little place right on the water with a huge deck (doggie proof) and direct access to the water for our paddle boards (or even your own boat!) Bonuses: huge TV for nighttime movies...large recliner couch!...new dishwasher! Plenty of parking...and best of all: air conditioning!!!

Excellent location and owner

This small cottage is literally ON hood canal, the enormous deck sits just over the water at high tide. Amazing views. Bring your pole (and license) you can easily fish from there. Lots of deck seating and all deck exits are gated so they will likely contain all but the smallest dogs. low tide you have about 30 feet of rocky beach, no sand so plan to wear water socks or at least flip flops. There is a narrow boat ramp available as well. Something wide like a catamaran won't fit. Lots of towels and blankets are provided. Shower is narrow as someone else mentioned, but its fine. I am a plus size gal and had no issue. Owner was kind and responsive, great to work with. Will definitely return!

Reliving a bit of paradise.

I grew up on swimming in the warm waters of Hood Canal and being able to spend the weekend with my family who love and miss the Canal so much gave us a bit of paradise. We so enjoyed spending time there. We especially loved the large front deck over the water. It's a beautiful place to spread out, eat and visit. The propane fire pit took the chill off the in the evening and early morning. Access to the cabin and beach was easy (Especially for those with walking issues). The cabin was clean, the kitchen well stocked, the beds were comfortable and there was an abundance of towels, bedding, bathing and first aid supplies. We loved the beach and my family especially enjoyed using the kayaks. The ramp to the beach made easy to access to the water and raft and the abundance of clams. Kristie was friendly and easy to work with and gave good directions to the cabin and renter instructions. The only problem we had was seeing the address on the paddle for the driveway. It was difficult to see and people tailgate on the road, especially when you slow down, looking for an address. We all overshot the driveway entrance. We all had a wonderful time on her property and it's a beautiful place to bring your family.

Right on the beach!

This is a beautiful place to stay. Loved the deck and the sunsets were fabulous! Sitting on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee, watching the seals was my favorite part! The house is small but enough. Could use some updates but all in all I would rent there again!!

Cozy cottage, spacious deck

Quaint cottage, well appointed and comfortable for two but might feel a bit crowded for three or four if the weather keeps you inside. Bathroom might be tight for a big person, it's small. Road noise can be heard outside when water is calm. Owner seems friendly and responds promptly to messages. Kayaks provided, beautiful scenery for a paddle. We had a family of seals following us the whole time we were out on the water. Loved it!

Waterfront dream

We stayed here for a long weekend and the home did not disappoint. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds comfortable, and the home felt incredibly clean. But the best part? The back deck. You walk outside and literally feel like you are on the water. We had the most incredible sunset while we were there, and later enjoyed a glass of wine by the fire while listening to the water. We brought along our pup, and she enjoyed it every bit as much as we did. The only downside is that the road that the home is on it quite busy with fast moving traffic (+/- 40 mph) and minimal shoulders, so it didn’t feel particularly safe to leave from the house to take the dog for a walk. Not a huge deal for some people I’m sure, but something to consider if easy and safe walking nearby is important for your trip. Despite that, this was a wonderful home and we would definitely recommend.

Beautiful spot

I spent a way too short weekend here with my pup. The cabin is comfortable, well appointed and perfectly clean. And the deck is spectacular! The only reason I took one star off the neighborhood is that people drive way too fast on the road behind the house. Just something to be aware of with pets or kids. We will definitely return!!

Wonderful cottage on the canal

Everything was just perfect. The cottage was well stocked with everything you could need from the kitchen to the abundance of towels, comfortable beds. The deck is amazing. The location is absolutely beautiful and quiet. Swam and kayaked in the canal. Loved the floating dock, too. It was very hot and the AC was a lifesaver. Easy check in/out and communication with the host was great. We were sad to leave. We will definitely book again!

This place was great for our stay. The sunsets were fantastic and the deck is an amazing place to hang out at the end of the day. Thank goodness for the air conditioning because it was HOT the week we were there and we wouldn't have survived without it!
