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. Cozy 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, washer 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!
Fall special: view the salmon returning to spawn in our creek in the month of November see reduced rates.

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.
Delightful beach property on a beautiful location of Hood Canal. Very clean. Has all the kitchen items you need, and beds are comfortable. The deck offers great views of the water.
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.
The house is amazing! Clean and comfortable, well stocked, spectacular view. Clam digging and oyster gathering right in front of the house. Tools provided. Host was very kind and helpful! Can’t wait to go back!
This property was as advertised, beautiful, relaxing stay on the water, we were lucky enough to go swimming every day With nice warm weather. The hosts were very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
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!
This place is super clean and new all inside. We stayed for 3 nights, went Kayaking. It was so relaxing, they take care of everything. Owner was very nice.
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
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.
Such a lovely property. Spectacular setting. Lovely outdoor large patio and so close to the water. Comfy beds and spacious kitchen and dining area. Comfy couch and love seat. We had a Ladies long weekend and were so relaxed and rejuvenated! Host was so kind to allow us a later check out. Would love to return!!
This is exactly what we needed! Fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Kayaks and row boat. Very spacious and clean! Nice touches like books, games, and supplies for oyster harvesting. The owner was very sweet and courteous. Amazing nature walks with the comforts of home.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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
This spot on Puget Sound is absolutely gorgeous. The water is warm and clear! We did all the activities and really enjoyed ourselves. It was great that it was so shallow in front of this house so our young kiddos were able to safely play in the water without concern.
The house is perfect. It's just as described and very comfortable. The owners live next door and they were very hospitable and kind. They gave us space but it was nice to have them there in case we needed anything.
We would love to come here again and make this is a regular yearly stay. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy a little slice of your paradise!
House was very nice and the property was in a great location. The satellite tv is run off of a amazon stick. So you are required to sign in to access tv channels. The check in/out instruction sheet had instructions about the wifi only being free for up to 13gb per day and an additional charge of 6.99 per 25gb. So if you are atuck inside all day or have multiple people using a lot of data. You can be charged additional fees. Which I find is misleading because the listing states free wifi. As of writing this review I have not been charged any additional fees for wifi, but in the future I would want notice of any possible additional cost before booking. Though overall, the place is great for small gatherings. And I would book again.
