We stay in Hoodsport frequently, but this was the first time we were close enough to walk into town. And yet the location of the home with nearby neighbors on only one side made it feel surprisingly private. Bring ear plugs because like most waterfront property in the area, you’ll hear some road noise at night. Opening windows and doors what’s a cool ocean breeze through the house in the summer. The stairs into the canal are sturdy and let us swim at any time of day. This house was perfect for our family of three, though I wouldn’t bring a child much younger than four due to the steep water access and abundant decor. The large deck let us find shade and sun almost any time of day.
The closest kayak rental recently closed, but Mike’s resort 15 miles north rents boats first come first served.
