About this property

Spectacular Hood Canal Views/Olympic National Park/Brinnon Waterfront House

(Free 2 kayaks to use/ Fast WIFI included/Strict 6 guests limit)-The house is a cozy older waterfront home on Hood Canal awaits your visit. You will be blown away by the view you'll see of the beautiful canal through floor to ceiling windows when you walk in the front door and look past the kitchen to the living room and the water beyond. You can enjoy watching eagles during spring and summer fly by or sea lions and seals and an occasional whale frolic in the water. Or perhaps you’d rather set out to scuba dive for octopus just 150 yards from the house. At the end of your day, grab some marshmallows and roast them in our fire pit, just a few feet from the edge of the water and also enjoying a beautiful sunset while cozying up to the fire.

The kitchen includes a breakfast bar and dining area. It opens into the dining room and living room where you will enjoy the incredible view of the water. Take in water view while sitting out on one of the two oversized decks at night looking at the full moon’s reflection on the water is a great way to relax at the end of your day.

The living room has an insert fireplace and space for family gatherings and activities. Downstairs in the first floor is a ping pong table, air hockey, 2 person shooting basketball game, Gamecube, and kids can have their own space for games, and treasures you find on the beach.

Our kitchen is stocked and our dining area with a table that seats six, or enjoy eating outside on
one of our two decks while enjoying the view.

If you prefer to not cook, The Halfway House nearby is famous for excellent home cooking and homemade pies. Esquire magazine in the past has chose the nearby Geoduck Restaurant and Tavern #2 for “Best Bar in America,” and Pleasant Harbor Marina, just up the road, offers superb pizza and sandwiches.

The home offers four bedrooms, two upstairs and one on the main floor, and two full baths. One bedroom has a Queen-sized bed with night tables, a dresser and closet. Another has two bunk beds and a closet, the third has a queen bed and armoire, the fourth bedroom has a full size bed.

Bring your fishing poles and check out the many rivers that flow into Hood Canal.
Nearby Dosewallips State Park, with acres of clams and oysters and geoduck, is also a great place to beach comb at low tide. Brinnon is a hiker’s paradise and there are spectacular trails and breathtaking waterfalls in Brinnon or in the nearby Olympic National Park. Or check out the great mountain biking trails. Divers can see several species of rockfish, octopus and all sorts of crabs in one of the best diving locations in the Northwest, and diving gear can be rented close by. A little further down the road is Mount Walker. A short drive up the mountain at the scenic view area, you will be blown away by the spectacular views of the Olympic Mountain range and turn your head back east and see the City of Seattle skyline. According to our guests, our house on the edge of the Olympic National Park is an ideal location as a base for their adventures to explore the park. Olympic National Park covers 922,651 acres of three distinct habitat zones, the alpine region, the coastline and the temperate rain forest. At 1,441 square miles, the park is larger than Rhode Island(1,214 square miles). In 1976, the park was named an International Biosphere Reserve by United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, the park was made a World Heritage Site by the World Heritage Convention.


-----SUMMER RESERVATION-July 1st thru August 31st-----2 days rental are available, if there are not 3 days or more available days on calendar. We have a 2 cars limit to this property and we want our guest to enjoy a peaceful stay

Great view, quiet location

Our family had a great time staying at this house. It has a large common area that we used to play games, put together a puzzle, and watch movies. The basement had amazing entertainment options for our kids, including an air hockey table, a ping pong table, an arcade console with multiple games (Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga,etc.), and a mini basketball game.The house has a couple of decks that were fun for watching wildlife or looking at the view. We enjoy birding and saw eagles, herons, loons, mergansers, and a pair of harlequin ducks!There is a path that leads to the beach which had clams spitting water at low tide, and some cool tide pools. We also saw seals and harbor porpoises.When cars and trucks aren’t going by, it is really quiet (32 decibels) and still. Hearing the birds sing when there were no cars was incredible and relaxing.The location is great, just up the road from Hama Hama, and Hoodsport isn’t too far away. We also visited Hunter Farms for some Olympic Mountain ice cream. The mattress in the first bedroom was on the softer side, so if you want a firmer mattress, the two couches in the living room easily fold out and have better support. The bunk bed upstairs doesn’t have much room between the bottom and upper bunk, so older kids may not want to sleep on the bottom bunk.The kitchen has some utensils, pots, and pans, but we recommend bringing your own.The hosts were great! They were friendly and responded quickly.

Beautiful, serene, location and property! Host does a wonderful job communicating and offered us options for dining/groceries/activities. Check-in and check-out were super easy, which we appreciate, and there are plenty of options for things to do or just relax and enjoy the beautiful view! Property is very clean, stocked with basics, close to road but super quiet and all you hear is the waves lapping on the shore.

Excellent place to stay

The owner or property manager reached out to us to make certain everything was well set up. The directions and instructions were very clear. Two small hitches showed up. The sliding glass door latch would not hold. I fixed it easily by breaking a stick from the yard and positioning it on the sliding mechanism. The other was that the exhaust fans in the ceilings of the washrooms are badly in need of cleaning. I'm sure they will take care of that immediately upon reading this. We did not contact them regarding it because it was not an emergency. Also the lighting in the laundry room is inadequate and the switch hard to locate. I recommend the property for families who want to visit the peninsula.

LOVED the provided kayaks and access to water...we brought paddle boards and had a great time with seals, porpoises, herons! Upper deck fantastic for eating outside, enjoying morning and evening skies. Beds/baths worked for 3 couples, enjoyed ping pong table/game room and family games around dining table. Kitchen was perfect for dinner in. Recommend!

Lovely setting on quiet cove teaming with wildlife.

This was a great place to enjoy the Hood Canal region. About 52 minutes from the "Staircase" Olympic National Park entrance which is a great hike. Port Angeles is about 1 hour 20 minutes away the opposite way on 101. If you want to spend the day in Seattle, you can take a ferry from Bainbridge about 1 hour and 15 minutes away. You can park there and take the 35 minute ferry to Seattle. But Bainbridge is absolutely a lovely town (it's an island). Overall, it was great. If you're a neat freak and want a more modern home, this might not be your place. The bathrooms are small and dated and a little user unfriendly (not a lot of space to put your stuff, hooks to hang towels, etc.) and the toilets are sensitive. The 2 level decks are wonderful for relaxing and taking in the natural beauty of the surroundings and the main living area is just stunning and offers plenty of room to cook and serve meals. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with the exception of coffee mugs and forks. They can use more of those. We didn't use the kayaks (we didn't see those) but the weather was a little cooler than expected. We enjoyed the fire pit and saw eagles and wetland birds and sea lions. Overall, a nice place to stay. One more thing, if you are sensitive to fragrances, you may want to ask the owner to remove the plug in fragrance. When we arrived, the fragrance was overwhelming and made us cautious. We located it and unplugged it for the duration of our stay but it did linger.

Perfect Family Getaway

We planned a family vacation and this property was perfect. There was plenty of room for our kids to have their own room & then some. Basketball hoops, ping pong table, air hockey, & board games were among the entertainment this beautiful property has to offer. The views provided so much relaxation and watching the eagles fly by directly in front decks was spectacular. The owners were extremely hospitable.

Another Fun Brinnon Getaway!

This is our second time here. We had another great stay. The house overall works well for our group and is spacious enough to not feel cramped. Kitchen is very small but has most of the necessities you would expect when visiting a rental home. A couple small suggestions to owners: -update TVs to be streaming capable -put a DVD player in the main living room so folks can take advantage of the huge DVD selection and have a group movie night -clean out the cabinets in the kitchen so that people have a place to store the food/items they bring. Thanks again for a great stay!

Excellent views

Beautiful place with excellent views. We very much enjoyed our stay. We saw sea lions or seals from the deck. The kids loved the game room down stairs and it was nice to get them away from electronics with old school games. If I were to make any suggestions would be the couches are not comfortable for snuggling but we wanted to be outside as much as the weather allowed. Thanks for the stay.

Inaccurate listing, very poor communication, needs cleaned and maintenance

Very disappointed in my stay here for our little anniversary getaway. While the surroundings are great, lots of state parks and recreation areas, right on the edge of the rainforest and everything... The house was pretty dirty and in need of a deep clean. I noticed lots of low quality items and work during my stay, I can't help it, I do remodeling and repairs for a living. A number of things were broken ranging from sketchy outlets to furniture to game room items. When we arrived, the door wasn't locked which was strange but it's in a remote area, so it's unlikely some weirdo would let themselves in. Our biggest issue during out stay was that the property listing was inaccurate. The listing showed in 3 places that it had a hot tub, I have the screenshots to prove it. When I searched for properties on VRBO, I checked the box for hot tubs, so this one came up. I was only looking for places with a hot tub to enjoy. When I brought up the issue with the property manager they were unresponsive until the next day. When I messaged the owner they were unresponsive until the next day when VRBO called them with my issue. Upon hearing from the owner they were dismissive of my issue and made no attempt to correct it. In the past when I have had similar issues (but not this bad) the home owners were responsive, very apologetic and worked to fix the issue immediately or offer a refund. This was definitely not the case at this rental. Renter beware.

Perfect base camp for Olympic Peninsula

Joined friends for a week visiting the Olympic Peninsula and this house served as our base camp. The views of Hood Canal are amazing and the house contains everything you need for your stay. The owners are responsive and the instructions are specific (which we always appreciate). From here we did Blue Mountain, the Hoh Rain Forest, whale watching in Port Townsend, and Mt. Rainier. And lunch at the Halfway House in Brinnon is a must do. Great trip.

Fantastic spot

We stayed here for 5 nights, with folks ranging in age from 10-78. And we all had an amazing time. There are steps if that’s a problem for anyone. The sound is beautiful, the water always changing. Great tide pools, tons of eagles, otters, seals. Kayaking was great. Found some great nearby trails on AllTrails app that were empty and gorgeous: maple leaf trail, staircase and Murhut falls were breathtaking. House was functional, clean and comfy! Just needed more forks. ☺️

Birthday Trip!

The house was amazing! It was one of the most well stocked kitchens in a Vrbo I’ve been to. The view was beautiful, the location was very isolated and the house itself was really nice. The host called and gave me all the best tips for how to get there and how to navigate the area. I would absolutely 100% come back! **There aren’t any gas stations close by so fill up before you get to Brinnon. There also isn’t much in the way of groceries so also stock up before you get here. Both of those things we did and so it wasn’t a problem. But just incase it’s not something you consider like we do! LOVED our stay!!
