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

Amazing vacation! House on Hood Canal was perfect. Gorgeous views of harbor porpoises, otters, sea lions, and eagles. House is older and we couldnt get the tvs to work in the upstairs and main level bedroom but we werent there for tv so it wasnt a big deal. Host was veru responsive to questions through VRBO and text and trip was very smooth!

Low key bachelor party

Stayed here for 3 nights and had a blast. Wildlife and canal access were as promised and did not disappoint. Spent the weekend clamming and harvesting oysters all of which were very close to the house.

Would love to stay here again

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.

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.

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.

Hood Canal Escape

This home had it all. It was comfortable, relaxing and clean and had nice access to the beach via a trail. We made good use of the two kayaks and both decks. Our family had a wonderful time reminiscing our days on the Hood Canal. I would stay here again.

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.

Great trip

House was in good location to head north to Olympic and south to Seattle and Mt. Rainier. Kayaks, fire ring and two decks to enjoy the water and wildlife. Wifi, tv and a small game room to keep you busy when in the home. Stop at the grocery stores coming to the home to get food, alcohol and firewood.

Amazing property. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Had so much fun playing games with the kiddos, walking the property, kayaking and viewing nature. Saw eagles, seals, porpoises, otters, starfish, crab, shrimp and endless sealife. Definitely planning return trip.

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.

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.

Could not have been better

This house was perfect for us. The views are stunning, and the beachy area at low tide provided so much fun. We took advantage of all the house had to offer: the fire pit, the kayak, the ping-pong and air hockey tables, etc. The great room of the house is perfectly laid out, and while the bathrooms and bedrooms were on the smaller side, it made NO difference as they were perfectly suitable and we hung out either in the great room, downstairs, or outside the whole time. There were good restaurants to the North and South, and hiked in the nearby parks. And we were there in Winter!

Absolutely gorgeous!

My family of five loved our stay in Brinnon. The view from the house was phenomenal and the house itself was very comfortable. We enjoyed beach combing, fishing, playing board games out on the deck or in the dining area, watching movies in the great room and playing air hockey, ping pong and basketball in the game room. The lego table in the bunk bed room was a great touch and kept my 5 year old busy when everyone else needed some quiet time. The house is well located for exploring the area. Our favorites on the trip were Dosewallips State Park where we saw lots of elk and the nearby beach/tidelands, we enjoyed seafood and sandwiches at the Hama Hama Oyster Saloon and pie, lunches and a goodbye breakfast at the Halfway House. There is much more to explore so we hope to come back before too long!

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!!
