Poulsbo Beach Hideaway

We loved it

The Paulsbo Beach Hideaway was absolutly wonderful and completely blew us away. The house itself is much larger than it seems from the photos and has enough room for the occupancy listed. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a week or so stay. The beach in your backyard and subsequent views are no less than amazing. You can look out the windows to see a beautiful view from anywhere in the house and enjoy exploring the beach in both low and high tide. The host was extremely attentive, but did not overwhelm our stay...perfect balance. I would HIGHLY recommend a stay here!

This was our second year staying at this home. The location is perfect for us. Family from Seattle came out for the day to visit us and we took a couple trips into the Cascades to hike and see some waterfalls. The home is stocked with everything you need. We did ask for extra sheets and the housekeeper came right over and got us set up. Having the washer/dryer is great. A few things to note: The home is very close to the Hood Canal Bridge, so there is noise from the traffic. It can also be cool to see when they open and close the bridge. We got to see the USS Kentucky Sub going out on deployment, as it went throught the bridge and canal. Also, at lowtide, it's great to go walk near the bridge on the beach and check out all of the cool marine life and brids. We saw a blue herron several days in a row. Second, the deck is great, but in the summer during the day, it can get quite hot. It would be nice to have an umbrella or awning.

We absolutely loved our stay. We enjoyed the canal and found watching the canal animals and boating and bridge activities so wonderfully entertaining. We are already planning our next visit and cannot wait to stay here again as soon as we can.

This beautiful home is tucked away off the street and down a gravel driveway but once located, we we thrilled with the entire grounds and the up to date house is spectacular. The clear view across the Hood Canal gave us glimpses of Bald Eagles, Blue Herons and more. A highlight of the week was seeing a sea otter family close to shore then come up on the beach right at dusk with their 4 babies. We saw them multiple time during the week. We were a few miles from historic Port Gamble and very close to the Hood Canal Bridge but the sounds from the latter during the day was almost like "white noise" and at night it is rarely used. The grocery store, Safeway, is about 6 miles away but an easy drive and rarely much traffic. Four friends rented the home from the SF Bay Area with our classic cars and we were attending a week long event at a local casino. We all found it much more relaxing to stay here, and splitting the cost 4 ways saved us each about $450 over stsying at the casino lodge. The off site owner Melina was a pleasure to deal with and was quick to respond to text messages.
