Holiday rentals with a kayak in Hood Canal

You really can’t beat this view. The greenery around the house is stunning. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen is well equipped. We cooked at home for most meals which was easy and comfortable - restaurants and grocery are about a half hour away. Neighbors are close by but the side with the hot tub is quite private and the view from hot tub can’t be beat. Water is cold but refreshing, rocky beach (bring shoes!) but so lovely. We even saw and heard seals - awesome.

A beautiful space. The hummingbirds were flitting amongst the bushes, while the crows were rearing their young in the giant trees. The hot tub lies beneath the vaulted cathedral ceiling of ancient douglas fir trees. The soaking experience is the literal meaning of a forest bath. The cool clear water of the sound was a welcome repite from the heat of the tub. Sitting in front of a bonfire we watched a purple Mt Rainier fade with the sunset as the full strawberry moon rose over the hills sucking the tide out beyond the view of the waning firelight. The night time low tide and its crisp slipping sounds beckoned the inviting cool smooth sheets; an endless king size bed of relaxing contentment.

Wonderful house right on the water. Perfect place for a relaxing weekend spent enjoying the water views. Well kept home.

All the lake amenities were great, as well as the hot tub. Had everything we needed!

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Ostrich Nest was a great getaway! Very peaceful and quiet. The house was well stocked with pretty much everything you would need (even a knife sharpener in the kitchen) which is great since you’re on an island. Would highly recommend this rental if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway on the water.

Absolutely Perfect Getaway! This beautiful waterfront home exceeded all expectations. The views are absolutely incredible, and the outdoor living space is both relaxing and family-friendly. The spacious yard was perfect for the kids to play, and the house itself was well-stocked with everything we needed. It truly is a gem in the Pacific Northwest-a must-stay! Both of our families had a fantastic time. The hosts were wonderful and communicated clearly throughout. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

We had such a lovely stay here over the Easter weekend – it was everything we hoped for and more! The house is clean, beautifully kept, and the views? Absolutely breathtaking. It’s one of those rare places that feels even better in person than in the pictures. It had everything we could possibly need – and then some. The hosts were simply wonderful – super friendly, accommodating, and just really easy to talk to. They made the whole experience feel warm and personal, not distant or transactional in any way. They even let us check in early and check out late, which made a huge difference for us with kids. Our days were filled with beach walks, seafood harvesting adventures, backyard chill time, and gorgeous sunsets. It felt like a perfect little reset from our busy lives. We were also celebrating our daughter’s 4th birthday during the stay, and she had an absolute blast. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Dale & Carol.

Nice place to stay if you’re traveling through the area and enjoying the many activities in and around Sequim.

Beautiful and well-maintained property. Great, attentive and thoughtful hosts. Had the best lake life for the weekend!

We had a lovely stay at Cassandra and Eric's cottage. The space is cozy and bright. The location is very private and tranquil, well off the highway with numerous hikes close by. The view is truly the highlight. We were riveted by the nearby eagle activity! The beds are extremely comfortable and everyone slept well. Highly recommended!

I visited the cottage to escape the city for a few days. This place is absolutely adorable— completely drenched in natural sunlight. It manages to maintain its historical charm while also feeling modern. I did some remote work during the visit & the WiFi worked perfectly— I could even get signal sitting outside. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the water, but even just sitting outside on the floating dock or the balcony provided a lot of peace. This place is the perfect mixture of providing a secluded feel while still being just a short drive to grocery/ restaurants. I truly loved my stay here & am already trying to figure out when I might be back!

We celebrated a birthday here with 5 adults and a newborn, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home is beautifully decorated with such kindness and thought—it felt incredibly cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We spent our days kayaking on the water, spotting seals, birds, and even a curious raccoon who came to visit the porch during dinner! It was such a special feeling to be so close to nature, yet so comfortable at the same time. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook delicious dinners together, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the house. My guests kept commenting on how much love clearly went into this home. And the deck… absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t have wished for a better birthday. Truly a magical and memorable stay—we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful place and amazing view. Enjoyed being right on the water - rooms, decks, fire pit(s), and hot tub were amazing. Really enjoyed watching the sea otters in the Sound. Well cared for place.

Spend one of the best weekends at Danielle’s place. Comfortable and clean, great location for the perfect getaway. Highly recommended!

This place is amazing! I loved that it was like staying at a friend's house - it had so much character. Not boring and staged like a hotel. There wasn't an "owner's closet" like most rentals. Jess is a beautiful soul that shares her amazing space and genuinely wants you to enjoy every minute. From the decor to the records, hammock, outdoor tub, kayaks, exploring the low tide wildlife...everything brought peace and relaxation. We never even turned on the television...it was magical!

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable little cabin on the water in Olympia, Washington. The home is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed—cozy, charming, and just the right amount of space for a relaxing getaway. All the amenities were provided, making it incredibly easy to settle in and feel at home. From the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable bedding, everything was just perfect. The location right on the water is stunning—peaceful, scenic, and a great place to unwind. I was also lucky to enjoy some truly beautiful weather during my stay, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

My wife and I spent a week at Pinecone Cottage and had the most amazing time. The lake is serene and picturesque and the cabin itself was fantastic. We ended up staying in most days instead of going into town, and loved every single second relaxing in the house. I would absolutely come back the moment I am able as this is a fantastic location for a truly relaxing and peaceful vacation.

If you want a location that gives you the sense of seclusion and provides you with great amenities to relax and unwind, then this is it. With two younger kids the bunk beds on the upper level were perfect and the king bed on the lower level was comfortable. The house was clean and had what you need to make for an easy stay. The hot tub was a hit, and the there are plenty of water craft options to enjoy the lake. Don’t hesitate to book this property!

Nice and cozy place surrounded by trees. Relaxing to sit outside on the hammock and just listen to nature. You might even get a visit from a friendly deer. They give you everything that you need if you want to enjoy a day or two on the lake. Always answered questions that I had in a timely manner. Food and activities to do in close proximity. They leave brochures for you if you are interested in driving for further out places. Overall it was everything my wife and I were looking for. I highly recommend this place if you are planning a trip in or around hoodsport.

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!

The Hideaway was everything we hoped it would be and more. The hosts made sure the house was clean and inviting. They also provided so many unexpected and wonderful details…luxury bath products, a basket of snacks, a dog bed and toy for our pup…and they even setup the firewood in the main fire pit so we didn’t even have to struggle building our own fire! Plus! Don’t even get me started on the sauna…it was EVERYTHING. We have stayed at a good number of Air bnb places over the years and this was far and away our favorite place. It’s beautiful. Book it!

They provided all the necessary support in a very professional manner. The scenery by the lake near the cabin is absolutely beautiful. Whether you’re inside the house, out in the yard, or by the lake, you can easily find plenty of things to do and enjoy. It’s a pity I could only stay for one night this time. I’d love to come back and stay longer if I have the chance in the future.
