We loved our stay and the amazing views. The place was spotless and close to a cute little store, 2 restaurants and coffee/ice cream shop. Would definitely stay there again and can highly recommend.
This was our second stay and it was just as great as the first! Amazing views, wildlife watching, relaxing on a deck by the water, and evenings by the fire pit!
This was an amazing location. Enjoyed watching all of the wildlife. We brought our dog and the property is enclosed so I didn’t need to worry about him getting out or hurting himself. The kitchen is stocked well and the beds were comfortable. We will stay here again.
Perfect view, comfortable home, loved watching all the wildlife. Perfect spot to get away and absorb the zen of water and mountains. Will definitely return.
My sister and i had a much needed and relaxing get a way. We loved the view and did a lot of watching birds and watching the weather changes. We loved the feel of being so close to the water when the tide came in. We will definitely be back to stay at the cozy on the canal cottage.
My husband and I stayed in this lovely home for a 4-day weekend. The home was just as advertised, with all the amenities provided to make our stay comfortable. The owner was great to work with. Just love this area to relax and unwind. We would definitely like to rent this home again!
We have stayed here many times over the last 12 years!
Love everything about the property and always see wildlife depending on the season. We had some family and friends visit and we know some of them may become customers for this beautiful location!
Thank you again for sharing the beach house with us!
My sister and I had an incredible weekend at this house. The house was clean, beautiful, and the weekend went seamlessly. Thank you for the incredible weekend getaway!
Just a pleasant getaway. The property is better than described - really nice and good place. Arriving was very welcoming with the heat on and the place warm. The views are fantastic, with the seals, herons, and eagles keeping me entertained. A wonderful escape from the city.
This place is just terrific! Wonderful access to the water, great views, ducks and seals always in view. The home itself is wonderful, very comfortable, great wifi, nothing lacking. Love the heated bathroom floor. Beautiful landscaping, communication with the owner was easy. Looking forward to another stay.
I arrived during a very cold afternoon and was greeted by a warm house with beautiful views. The lovely home was absolutely clean and a peaceful place. There were extra blankets provided for the extraordinarily cold days and nights. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked and so lovely. I wish I could live here full time. I truly love this place (I must as this was my second time staying in less than a year.). Truly recommend staying here!!
Once again, we were taken aback with the beautiful views from the property. The home was clean, plenty of supplies and the owner very gracious and available. We both absolutely love this property and the way it is maintained. We will be back again.
Such a beautiful home and garden...everything was lovely,.
Enjoyed the canal and tide changes, bringing the birds and seals, other creatures close to the house....sitting on the deck was a very popular pastime, as well as reading, .
Lovely community and people in Union.
Great views and location , clean beautifully remodeled
Excellent clean and views! Only thing was my husband is 6’5 and only queen beds . So it was comfy but hard for us to sleep . Next time I’ll bring a shorter guy 😀
This home has a lot going for it! Location of course, but also layout, amenities and comfortable beds.
Easy walking distance to a couple restaurants, as well as to Union Market and Marina.
The views are of course fabulous! Saw harbor seals, birds of various types too.
Steps down to the beach from the back deck to put in my SUP board? Added bonus.
We had the pleasure of staying at this waterfront home along Hood Canal. The property provided a unique experience as the water lapped on the seawall underneath during high tide and offered breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains. The accommodation comfortably housed our group of four and offered an unparalleled level of privacy along this stretch of Hood Canal.
Situated near Alderbrook Resort/Spa and Golf Club, the location was convenient with nearby restaurants. The well-stocked kitchen had everything needed to prepare a delicious meal. The overall comfort of the home, combined with its scenic surroundings, made our stay truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a peaceful and picturesque getaway along Hood Canal.
