About this property

Hood Canal Waterfront Home - Incredible Views, Wildlife, Oysters, Kayaks!

Awesome waterfront vacation home on Hood Canal at Lilliwaup Bay! Incredible 180-degree views of the Canal from nearly every room in the home. Great Kayaking right from the private beach (three kayaks and two rowboats and life vests for complementary use by guests). Nearly 100’ of private low-bank waterfront and tidelands. Oysters and clam digging are nearby (subject to WDFW regulations). The bay is home to Bald Eagles, numerous species of waterfowl, Blue Heron, King Fishers, migratory and resident salmon ( King, Silver, Chum), seals, sea lions, otters, and occasionally Orcas.

The relaxing home is situated on a huge lot away from highway 101 giving it uncommon privacy and quiet compared to other Canal properties. A large deck which overlooks the water is equipped with a gas barbecue. Additionally, located feet from the water is a fire pit for campfires and/or barbecuing.

Built in 2008, the home has modern amenities such as granite countertops, stone gas fireplace, 50” and 43” HD smart TVs (Netflix and Amazon Prime Video) with Blue Ray DVD player, high speed internet, stereo system, and a modern fully equipped kitchen. The home is a custom-built home and while it has all the modern conveniences it also has a charming rustic feel to it. Great views from nearly every room including the upstairs loft master bedroom.

relaxing and beautiful property

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We enjoyed the kayaking, exploring the oyster bed during low tide, and the incredible view. Jay is very thoughtful with everything provided at the rental. We also appreciated the handwritten welcome card and snacks.

Little slice of Heaven...

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! Perfect place to unplug, view beautiful scenery and watch the wildlife! Upon walking in I found a lovely welcome note and fresh cut flowers on the table! What a great way to kick off our stay! We really needed a place to unwind and unplug after a very busy 5 months of work, graduation and college planning. And I don't think we could have found a better spot to stay! The home has everything that you need, just like if you were in your own home. The upstairs bedroom is huge and waking up to that view was amazing! We spent a lot of time sitting outside by the fire pit. A little too windy to enjoy the kayaks but there were plenty to choose from. Low and high tide brought out so many animals, I was thankful there were binoculars! Sitting one night I thought I was watching otters in the bay area to the left. Nope, they were a little family of 5 harbor seals! So interesting to watch them dive and feed. They even came around to the front of the property to check us out! Sitting one morning I noticed some large birds across the bay to the left. I thought crows. Nope, they were eagle fledglings with Mom and Dad nearby! We watched them both morning and night. We also watched the seagulls at low tide - they would find a clam, fly up high, and drop it onto the rocky shore to crack it open! We were greeted by a deer the first night outside the kitchen window too! Conveniently located to ONP, grocery and restaurants!

Amazing House and Location!

We were beyond pleased with our stay. Jay was super helpful and responsive, and his home is amazing. We were able to ride Go-Karts at Ridge Motorsports, hike at Olympic National Park (with a stop at Lake Cushman!), ride the railcars at Vance Creek Railriders, and enjoy the kayaks on the property. We had a deer and her baby visit us while we sat at the fire pit, saw seals, a bald eagle and enjoyed a stunning view. I would stay here again without a doubt!!

Wonderful Family Memories

The property owner was very considerate and made sure we got into the property during our check-in window. The property is well maintained and absolutely beautiful. Our son (2 years) really loved walking around outside and seeing all the shells on the ground. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

An amazing property, best place I’ve ever stayed.

Jay was awesome to communicate and work with. The property and views are spectacular. You will not regret staying here. It’s worth every penny. He provides a ton of amenities like kayaks, movies, and additional supplies as needed. Pick this place if you can, you won’t regret it.

Such a gem!

Last year, we had one of the best family vacations ever at Jay's place. It"s beautiful, comfortable and well appointed, and location can’t be beat. We had an incredible time exploring area, flora and fauna. Our nine-year-old said that all he wanted to do this summer was go back to the Hood Canal and that we MUST stay at the same place. We did! And we had another amazing time this year. Thanks, Jay!

Family Canal week

Jay is an attentive, communicative host. You will NOT find a Hood Canal/Hoodsport home with a better bedroom view! Every morning I woke up to the sunrise over the canal right from the loft. This home is ideal for a romantic getaway for two- just because the master is the loft bedroom & I could communicate clearly with my family downstairs in the kitchen from my bed in the master. That said- we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. We kayaked , cooked, grilled, swam in the canal & at Lake Cushman, napped and played yatzee. I highly recommend Jake’s Hide-a-way Fishing Lodge!

Hood Canal Gem

We had high hopes for our stay at this property and we were NOT disappointed! The view from the house and on the patios is stunning! The weather was ideal for our stay, but if it hadn't been, we would still have been able to enjoy the setting. We took advantage of the well appointed kitchen and patio barbecue to eat in and took a few excursions to nearby scenes, but mostly enjoyed a relaxing time on the property with my 90-year-old mother. There was a little glitch with the access code when we arrived, but Jay had it corrected before I had a chance to contact him. Later in our stay, we accidentally locked ourselves out and Jay was able to help us immediately. Thank you Jay! I can recommend this property without hesitation and will definitely consider booking it again for a relaxing get-away.

Great property in a great location.

Hoods Port is a lovely spot. Easy access from Seattle. Nearby hiking trails and water sports. A couple delightful restaurants. Don’t miss the Oyster Bank. We enjoyed kayaking and just sitting on the patio soaking up the view. The accommodation is perfect for four people. Very open and light. Bring eye shades if you are a late sleeper. There is a Keurig and drip coffee maker but no coffee grinder as listed. Jay is a thoughtful host and provided many of the little things that make for an enjoyable stay.

Cozy Beautiful Cabin

We loved this waterfront cabin located by Hood Canal. When we first entered the cabin we were welcomed with fresh flowers, a note fro the owner, and a lovely fire burning in a beautiful stone fireplace. The cabin was spotless, has a well appointed kitchen with any tool you’ll ever need, and the large loft bedroom with King bed provides a stunning view of Hood Canal. The views downstairs are equally as gorgeous and invite you to enjoy a large yard and the use of a wide variety of water toys. Five stars.

So Perfect ...

Jay is a true SuperHost! He was easy to get in touch with and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. The house is amazing and well thought out. There are kayaks and boats to use on the waterfront and he even stocked wood and everything needed for a fire in the waterfront fire pit. The big king bed is super comfortable and seeing the sunrise through the big windows was a treat. Also, he left some treats that we absolutely used while hiking -- and fresh flowers on the table. We enjoy seeing a new place every year, but this is a place I would return to! Don't forget to look for the starfish from the kayaks at low tide!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Hanville

I am a retired lifelong Northwesterner. I love the great outdoors and many associated activities such as fishing, boating, kayaking, wildlife, golf, skiing, Seattle Mariners, live music.

Why they chose this property

I bought the lot in 2007 and built the house in 2008. I was lucky to find this great location and chose it for its amazing views, beach and fishing/boating opportunities! I love the fact that the property is not right on highway 101 (unlike most other waterfront homes on the Canal) which provides for peace and quiet. I have since discovered it is a bird watchers dream (Bald Eagles, Killdeer, NUMEROUS waterfowl, Kingfishers, Blue Heron, etc.....).
