About this property

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

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.

Great house and View

5 bedrooms, 3 of which had their own bathroom! Ample room downstairs. Gorgeous view in a quiet neighborhood. What could be better: if housekeeping dusted the cobwebs out of the windows ...I'm arachnophobic. Also a 4 slice toaster would be most helpful. And perhaps labeling the cupboards. Took us forever to find baking sheets way up over fridge. Speaking of which, a stepstool would also be helpful. But no complaints about the house at all. What

Wonderful Wedding Weekend

This fabulous location provided the perfect “home base” for our family during our daughter’s Port Gamble wedding! The large bedrooms and open gathering space provided ample room for all! Of course, the spectacular water view, northern lights, and meteor shower were added bonuses!! Thank you for helping to make our special weekend just perfect!!

Nice place for a family right on the water!

Good fit for our family. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, ample refrigerator space, and the outdoor grill was functional. Nice laundry facilities. Beds are comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, well kept and friendly. The view is beautiful and the beach was fun for the kids when the tide was low. Overall a great experience!

Absolutely wonderful, as usual!

The view is amazing! Having the beach right there, with tide pools, is so fun! The layout works great for small family groupings within our larger family. Kitchen is very well stocked and beds are very comfortable. Our third time here and we will be back!

Amazing water view property

This was our third visit to this property. We enjoyed it so much that we booked it again for next year. Ann, the host, was very accommodating and generous for our arrival request. This location is perfect for our family of adults and children. The extra kitchen and bedrooms downstairs were perfect for the parents with three young children. I could just sit all day and enjoy the view. Our grandsons loved the beach and tide pools. The community is very welcoming and friendly. On the last day we saw a killer whale and baby from the deck. What a treat! We are looking forward to returning next year.

Fabulous Family Vacation

We felt so blessed to be able to stay in this wonderful home on the Hood Canal… a taste of what it would be like to have a generational waterfront vacation home that we have not been able to acquire on our own. It was perfect for our extended family of 10. It was private and beautiful, comfortable and well equipped, and a luxury to be on a sandy beach for the little ones to dig/play in the sand. On our second day, our 3 year old said “I want to go play sand again”! We loved it!!

Family reunion

We gathered from Alaska, Oregon, Colorado and Port Townsend Washington for my son's 50th birthday. My youngest son and his wife blessed me with 3 beautiful granddaughters. We enjoyed the beach house and saw river otters, a hawk, 2 submarines, seals, porpoise and eagles. At Ludlow falls, firemen had a practice rescue. Girls attempted CPR on a dummy. We now have awesome memories.

Early Thanksgiving Celebration

We love to stay at this home! We have stayed here 4 times. I love cooking in the kitchen and being able to enjoy the wonderful view! The master bedroom and downstairs also has this beautiful view. My grandchildren sit looking out the windows for hours enjoying the wildlife and beauty of the waves. The downstairs apartment is a wonderful bonus for this home. So much room for our large family!
