About this property

Hood Canal Beach house, Low bank waterfront, enjoy nature from your deck

  • The perfect 'beach house' experience awaits you at the Madrona Cottage at Pleasant Cove. The newly remodeled 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on the shores of Hood Canal has been the treasured jewel of our family for 4 generations and we can't wait to share the magic of this idyllic spot with you: A low bank waterfront with expansive tidelands gives you easy access to clams and oysters, and of course Hood Canal's pristine waters. Also famous for the warmest waters in Puget Sound reaching 70 degrees in Pleasant Cove during mid-summer. The waters of Hood Canal are perfect for all water sports. Madrona Cottage boasts a deep wooded lot (one acre) next to the salmon-bearing Stimson creek, separating you from the hustle-and-bustle and gives you a serene connection to nature. Unlike many homes on Hood Canal The Madrona Cottage is separated from the road by a wooded buffer.

    Enjoy your morning coffee from the wrap around deck of the cottage or launch one of the kayaks and explore Hood Canal. Send the Kids to the beach for beach-combing, swimming or join them in the woods to explore the stream. In the fall, experience the struggle of the salmon as they migrate from Hood Canal up Stimson Creek to spawn. Take the family on a nature walk up Elfendahl Pass Road (directly across from our driveway) as it follows the stream. The Tahuya ORV park is 6 miles away up Elfendahl Pass Road as well as a popular spot for shooting sports. There are also many hiking opportunities in the Tahuya State Forest just north of the Madrona Cottage. (https://www.hikingproject.com/directory/8019513/tahuya-state-forest)

    In the evening enjoy a sunset dinner on the deck with your 180 degree view of the canal and south shore lights. Cosy up around the fire pit, making s’mores or just sipping wine under the stars.

    Cottage amenities include: fully stocked, large, gourmet kitchen with brand new appliances, all the cooking utensils needed to prepare a gourmet meal, washing machine and dryer, Keurig coffee maker, French press, propane barbecue, shaded deck, 2 kayaks, 1 row boat. The lawn is big enough to accommodate your lawn games. The public boat ramp is a few driveways away and we have parking for three cars (or, with one car, even your ORV or trailered boat). Perfect for families and groups up to 7 people. We look forward to hosting you!

    Autumn special: view the salmon returning to spawn in our creek in the month of November see reduced rates.

    **Note: Property is limited to 7 guests. With PRE APPROVAL, a limited number of day-guests may visit the property for an additional fee ($30 per guest per day-visit). Day guests may not spend the night.

Outstanding property close to everything needed. Home and property are very tastefully updated while still feeling like a place to relax on the beach. The water was very warm when we visited and our group loved the kayaks and small boat provided. A perfect place to get away close to grocery shopping and outdoor activities but far enough away to be peaceful and enjoy each other’s company.

The house is very clean and it makes us feel like home. The owner was very nice to let our kids borrow some balls to play in the yard. It’s a family own for generations so they took good care of the property.

What a lovely, private experience - soaking in the views from the covered deck - enjoying the expansive yard and watching the tide come in and go out. Comfortable beds and roomy bedrooms. (They even had fans for the hotter nights!) We cooked in two nights, and the kitchen had everything we needed. (I was also grateful for the coffee provided for our stay!!!) Based on the reviews I read - there were only two that were not 10 out of 10! Both appeared to not "follow the rules" (which were very clear and easy to understand). We never interacted with the owners who live next door...and actually found it comforting to know that if something needed their attention, they were nearby to help out. It will feel like you are coming to your own home within hours of being there...and if you forgot to get specific groceries, or need gas, both are quite convenient in the nearby town! Also convenient to this home, a venue with excellent wine tasting options and lovely nearby parks. We would go back in a heart beat!

Wonderful place! Check-in was easy and everything was exactly as pictured and described. Being able to get out on the water so easily and gather our own oysters and clams for lunch/dinner was a treat. The house was tidy and well maintained. Earline and her husband were communicative and easy to work with. Definitely would stay again!

Our family - 2 adults, 2 young kids - had a great stay shortly before Halloween. A good amount of rain during our stay, but the rental was a cozy place to take in the storm. A spacious layout meant things didn't feel too cramped despite our mostly being indoors. Big windows out to the Sound through which to take in the rain and the wildlife - ducks, a pelican, sea otters (!?) - that came and went with the tide. Each day's lowest tide revealed oysters galore in the beach in front of the house. Also, great communicating with the host in the buildup to the trip. We'll be back again!

Comfy, quiet and great view

We enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable waterfront location. The beds were comfy, linen was nice and bathrooms were clean and well stocked with soaps and nice towels. The kitchen and living area were open and it was a delight to watch the beach and water birds from the kitchen window and dining area. Thank-you for the nice stay, Retired Seattle couple

Lovely beach getaway

Nice, clean, updated home that is wonderfully situated on a lovely beach. The view from the house and deck is beautiful and the water was calm and swim-able (the beach is carpeted with oysters, if that's your thing). There are a couple of kayaks, a little dinghy, a nice big lawn and a cool creek nearby - so great spot for kids of all ages. We had no issues with our stay and would defintely recommend it.

Amazing Location

Our family of 4 stayed for 8 nights and had an amazing time! The cottage was just steps away from the water, great for paddle boarding and kayaking. The south facing beach was in full sun while the large madrone tree provided ample shade. We harvested clams one morning during low tide and had fresh clams that night. The wrap-around deck provided unobstructed views of Hood Canal and had many different seating arrangements (both covered and uncovered). Overall a truly special and well loved location.

Quiet Hood Canal Staycation

We really enjoyed our stay here! We had our 4yr old and baby with us. The beach is pebbly with lots of shells and there’s a huge grassy lawn to play on as well. The kitchen is stocked, which was really nice. The owners live next door and they were very kind and left us to ourselves unless we needed something. The kayaks were a highlight, and if you’re like me and need that morning latte, there’s a coffee stand only 2 miles down the road right across from Belfair state park

So peaceful

The house was lovely - very clean and had a warmth to it. The outdoor decks were ideal - both covered though we lucked out with sunshine in Feb and didn’t need cover. Being right on the hood canal was amazing - we sat on the deck 80% of the weekend and enjoyed walking out during low tide. The birds were fun to watch, too. We didn’t end up doing the fire pit but hope to go back and will use it another time. 3 bedrooms worked great though there were only 3 of us. I would stay here again and look forward to it!

Family time

We had a wonderful stay at the Madrona Cottage. We were looking for a few days of quiet, rest, and natural beauty away from work, noise, and the pressures of life and found it here. The owners are delightful, respectful, and have thought ahead of everything one can need during their stay and left it available at the cottage. Beautifully redone cottage with an amazing view. We were only an hour away from home but felt like we were on an island where time just stopped and the beauty of God’s creation just renewed our spirits. There was a lovely basket of treats and my teenage kids loved the otter pops too. We look forward to making this a special place to visit again.

Hood Canal magic

We had a wonderful time at the Madrona Cottage, it was warm and comfortable for our family and very easy to access. My son, 2, and daughter, 4, had a great time playing near the stream and collecting shells on the beach. We picked oysters during low tide and my husband and brother-in-law shucked and ate them on the beach, which was great fun for the kids to see. We would love to visit again. It's not far at all from the amenities in Belfair and Bremerton and outdoor Kitsap adventures. All the details were perfect. Thanks Earline!

getting married under the Madrona Tree

We had a small wedding ceremony on this property VIEW VIEW. quiet and serene. The adult children loved the kayaks and we loved the shallow swimming in 70degree water.. A friendly seal visited us at night on a near by water platform..Birds eagles and lots of flowers adorned the visit.We took a long walk one day but stayed close to home as the temperature rose. We cooked and appreciated the AC. This is a beautiful property. We all agreed with another review that better pillows would be a plus ..I would imagine this would be a wonderful Winter retreat as well. Amenities are close by
