Good details of how to get there from the property manager prior to arrival.
Quaint little beach house, perfect location for daily jaunts into the Olympic National Park and other surrounding areas.
Comfortable beds, air conditioning unit and fans in each bedroom to help cool the spaces off in the evening.
Well maintained and clean.
Wish we could have stayed for a few more days.
The property was well maintained, outfitted and clean. It was located near all the hikes we planned on our trip as well as close to a few restaurants and shops. We did not take advantage of the kitchen this trip but noted the abundance of equipment and appliances for any future stay. The waterfront was beautiful and relaxing. The clouds parted in the evening so we were able to do some star gazing and enjoy the meteor shower too from the backyard.
Fabulous location and quaint charm! House was clean, literally right on the water, easy to find, and great location to Hoodsport and easy access to lots of hiking. Kitchen was very well stocked, and we spent a lot of time sitting outside enjoying the gorgeous views. Might be good to know that the house does have AC but it’s only in the living room. We managed with the fans provided in the bedrooms (and appreciated them!) but easy to see how the bedrooms could get pretty toasty during the warmer summer months. Overall, that did not diminish our fabulous stay!
We had a lovely 3 day stay and enjoyed the view. The full moon rise over the water was a highlight. I love the rustic red cabin, just what I was looking for.
So glad the owners share their lovely little red house. It is a great location with fantastic views of the hood canal. Easy access for paddling and other local activities. We had a great time!
We brought our kayaks and enjoyed launching from this stunning location. Such a friendly local community. The house is quaint & comfortable, inside and out.
Couldn't ask for a better view! So Beautiful! Loved the mid century modern decor. Super central to town. Would love to come back! Thanks!

very cute little home, incredible view and access to the water, we loved it!
The home was perfect for us. Kitchen well equipped, lots of cooking utensils/pots/pans/dishes. It was clean and neat.
We were suprised that we didn't have internet or cable, but with the water front access and water views, it made up for it! Beautiful property, we loved it and plan on coming back.
The house was quaint and had an incredible view from the outside. The inside was very clean and cozy. A few things that could be improved upon are the queen bed (it was so soft my husband and I ended up sleeping in the twin beds), the Rhododendron bush blocks a lot of the view from inside, very old pots and pans, and the yard and breezeway needed some TLC. None of these things ruined our stay, but the owner might consider addressing at some point.
We had a wonderful weekend at this little cottage on the Hood Canal. The house was as pictured and had everything we needed. The view is amazing, and we loved foraging for our dinner. There are plenty of oysters and clams to reach your limits quickly and have an amazingly fresh meal. The next door neighbors were super friendly and gave us some good tips on the oysters and clams. We were traveling with our nearly 5 year old who had a blast in the beach.
We stayed at this property because it came up in my search for rentals near Olympic National Park. Though, there is limited availability to stay in or near the park we ended up driving 2 hours in and out of the park each day. The view was the high light, and though we didn't really know much about tides and the sea life that appears with low tide, it was cool to see. The house was clean and well appointed. The listing said it had AC, but it is a portable unit that was not hooked up during our stay. Being from the south, I always think AC means Central AC. We were fine during our stay. The fans and temperate weather made us generally comfortable. Olympic National Park is a must see! All areas of the park are diverse and stunning. We also loved the lavender farms in Sequim.
The yard had a beautiful view of Hood Canal and there was easy access to the beach for launching my kayak.
Inside the house most of the view was taken up by the rhododendron bush. I highly recommend cutting it down.
The queen bed was rather soft and sloped to the center.
There were lots of pots, pans, and utensils but they all needed to be replaced. Very junky drawers and hard to find what you needed if doing a lot of cooking like we did.
I would recommend the owners spending a long weekend replacing and repairing items in/outside the house that were dated or not working, like lamps, beds, and kitchen items.
It had a wood burning stove. You would need to provide your own wood.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Did not like no TV or internet. View made up for it.
It was a nice few days. Wished there had been internet and TV but for the most part a good experience
My family and I stayed here for three nights as part of a trip to Olympic National Park. The house is right on the Hood Canal and is beautifully decorated with mid-century modern furniture. There's tools out back for if you want to hunt for clams or oysters (make sure you purchase a license). I could sit out in the backyard all afternoon.
The house is about 5 minutes from downtown Hoodsport and about half an hour to the Staircase entrance of Olympic National Park and Lake Cushman. You can also walk to The Tides Restaurant, which I highly recommend.
This place was a great place to stay on Hood Canal. Right on the water you can just sit in an easy chair and watch the tide go in and out, go kayak in lakes nearby or in the Canal, or hike in one of the nearby trails. The House was very clean and well appointed. We would like to return someday, had a great time.
My family and I loved our stay here. It reminded so much of my grandmother’s home. The view and beach access was just wonderful. We were really just able to relax and unwind while our kids enjoyed the beach and ocean. We even swam a bit as a family. We made sure to follow all the rules about harvesting clams and made amazing homemade clam chowder. It was very clean and comfortable for all of us! Also, my son left his stuffed octopus there on accident and the property managers sent it home no charge to him. They even addressed it with the stuffy’s name. We are hoping to return!
The location was excellent - allowed us to explore the local area. The view was every bit as good as the pictures. Unfortunately the main bed was so uncomfortable we couldn't complete our stay and left early. Lesser issues were the bed and bathroom linens - they were clean but clearly older. My recommendations is new beds and new linens - we would have enjoyed the experience more if these issues were corrected
What a beautiful place to stay you don’t even hear the road. Cleanest place I have stayed since covid. Host was amazing and made me feel welcome. If you want somewhere to unwind this is the place. Don’t pay attention to the negative reviews yes it is an older house with quirky things but that’s what makes it feel like home. I will definitely be back again. Thanks to Windermere for having such a wonderful rental
Great location, cute place but needs some attention.
Loved the area and the view. but there are updates needed. Specifically the kitchen utensils, the drawers were dangerous as there were too many big knives thrown in with utensils creating a potential injury. Need better organizationand get rid of the really old items. The lamps are very poor quality. One shade had many cracks. There are only a few windows that can open which made the place very stuffy. Double bed too soft and my husband slept on the futon couch. I slept on the small sofa due to stuffy bedroom. Nicely updated bathroom but 1 ply toilet paper is just cheap and unacceptable. Towels are thin and the extra charge for using more than 2 trash bags is insulting. We cook and therefore we have garbage.
Overall a little disappointing.
