About this property

Sea Salt Cottage - 180-degree Views of the Olympic Mountain Range and Hood Canal

Sea Salt Cottage offers spectacular views of the beach and the Olympic National Park from this cozy cottage on the bluff above the waters of Hood Canal. The view is toward the mountains to the west, so the afternoon sun warms the yard and the sunsets are the show of the day. The beach is a short walk down the staircase / trail that ends at the beach on Hood Canal. Walk the beach, search for shells, fish, crab, dig for clams, or simply enjoy the views. Come have fun!

Sea Salt Cottage is a great starting point for day trips to Kingston, Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, and Port Gamble. If you want to head further out, Port Townsend and the Olympic National Park await.

Perfection!

You can feel the love and care that has been put into Sea Salt Cottage as soon as you step in the door. This was the perfect place for my sister and I while we were visiting family in the area. The cottage felt like home and had everything we needed, as well as being super clean. The kitchen was fully stocked, the rooms were very comfortable, and the little touches throughout made it so special! My nephew's girls stayed with us one night and loved the hammock and swing, the beach, and especially the badminton game outside. We spent much of our visit enjoying the yard and the absolute tranquility of the beautiful view. Adrienne was a wonderful hostess, great communicator, and was kind and helpful throughout. We can't wait to visit again!

Perfect stay!

This was our first big trip with our < 1 year old baby and we couldn't have better things to say about Sea Salt Cottage and everything Adrienne does to make your stay perfect. The house is outfitted with everything you need as a family - a clean, new pack n play, a nice high chair, kids toys, really nice kitchenware, dishes, mugs, and even nice knives for cooking. We've stayed in a lot of places and this is truly one of the nicest places we've ever stayed - it felt like home from the moment we arrived. The house overall is beautiful and the property is amazing. We couldn't get enough of the view, the fire pit, hammock, deck, grill, etc. And while not pictured, the beach is great too. Tons to do in the local area while also feeling peaceful and secluded. We're already talking about when we can go back.

Beautiful beach cottage

This is our second stay at this house. We loved it so much last year that we immediately booked for this year and are already booked for next year. The views are incredible and the house if perfect for our family. It is well-stocked for our cooking needs, the beds are comfy and the yard is great for hanging out.

Peaceful escape

This was a great place for a comfortable, peaceful escape, and was only a couple of hours from Seattle. We were looking a spot that was fairly isolated and surrounded by nature, and this place has what we were hoping for. We got to see fish jumping and seals playing in the water, deer meandering through at sunset, expansive views, and enough space to have some alone time. Also, definitely one of the best stocked kitchens I've seen in a vacation rental (I love to cook). A few things to know: - just over 100 steps to the water, and a small path with a ramp at the end - wear foot protection on the beach as there are lots of shells and such - fishing and watersports craft aren't uncommon to see on the water, and the occasional passerby on the beach (we went in late summer) - smaller yard, but plenty of space with a lot of seating, a swing, hammock, deck, and table - very well-equipped kitchen with various cookware, reasonably sharp knives, a great selection of spices, etc. - fans to keep the air moving, enough windows to bring in lots of light and fresh air, and a lot of dimmable lighting - tons of comfortable seating inside

Family Getaway

What a beautiful cottage with everything one could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. We had fun exploring the backyard and beach at the house, the nearby nature preserve, and were close enough to go on a whale watching adventure out of Port Townsend.

Great views, charming cottage

We had a delightful stay despite 2 days of rain. The cottage is tastefully decorated, well stocked and super clean. There are plenty of relatively easy hikes in the area, not to mention the beach below the cottage. We are reasonably fit 70-year olds and found the stairs to the beach easy to negotiate with the usual cautions (slippery when wet, etc). The staircase is a study in craftsmanship . Many thoughtful accommodations, like firewood and fire starters. We hope to be able to return someday.

Fabulous Family Summer Get

Wonderful weeklong stay with two families including 4 kids under 10. This place is fabulous - very clean and well cared for, super well stocked esp in the kitchen, some toys for kids, games, etc. Beach is super fun with lots of tiny crabs and tons of shells to explore. Long set of stairs to get down but doable and well maintaine. Great view from the house of sound and ships/subs passing through plus sunset over the mountains. Yard is great with chairs, swing, and hammock. Adrienne was a great communicator. Would love to come here again.

Amazing Weekend at Sea Salt Cottage

Our family of 5 - 3 kids ages 17, 14, & 11 enjoyed our stay at Sea Salt Cottage. Our two youngest enjoyed playing on the beach and clamming at low tide. We used a nearby access point of the Kitsap Peninsula National Water Trail to put in our skiff to do some crabbing. We also enjoyed kayaking at midnight in nearby Port Gamble Bay to see the bioluminescent algae. This quaint cottage was perfect for some downtime as a family. We will certainly be back.

Two words: Simply amazing!

I've stayed in many VRBOs, and this one, by far, is the best. Adrienne's home was so well equipped. She thought of everything. From spices to blankets to throw over our legs on a cool evening, the home was so comfortable. Now let's talk view...we kept saying, "Wow, we could get used to this." It is truly magical to look out onto Hood Canal. Our adult children loved playing cornhole and badminton while we sat by an outdoor fire one early evening. It was a short drive to The Kingston House, where our son was married, a short drive to Safeway to pick up supplies, and there are several little towns close by to explore. For a full-day trip, Olympic National Park or the Pacific Ocean are within reach! Since our son and new daughter-in-law live in Seattle, we are already thinking of return trips to Sea Salt Cottage! Thank you, Adrienne, for having such a memorable home.

Real Gem

I wish this place was closer to MI. Just what we needed after a non-stop adventure at Olympic National Park. This place had amazing views and we even got a chance to see a sub cruising the canal. The decor was incredible. We almost didn’t wanted yes anything since everything was so nice. Can’t wait return when we make it back in the area.

Spectacular Special Spot

Everything about this location is 5 stars. Obviously, you come for the views, but the owners go above and beyond to make your stay special and relaxing. From the tips on things to do in the area to the games and kid friendly activities provided at the house, everything has been thought of. This is truly a special place to stay.

Cute, well appointed, clean, homey and relaxing with great views! Best VRBO I’ve rented to date. The pictures don’t do it justice as can’t possibly capture all the finer touches and thoughtfulness of the owners. Clearly a well-loved family home. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Magical!

From the second we arrived at Sea Salt Cottage, we felt like we were transported to another world! The inside of the house was absolutely immaculate. Tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We instantly felt warm and welcomed. We saw humming birds, coyotes, eagles, herons, bunnies and all sorts of other furry woodland creatures. This place is truly magical and an apparent sanctuary for humans and wildlife alike!! The host is one of the kindest most attentive hosts, we have ever had. She answered all our questions and took very good care of us, from start to finish. Thank you for everything!!

About the host

Hosted by Adrienne Box

Host profile image
James and I both grew up in Edmonds, WA and decided to move to Hansville in 1997 to live more closely tied to the land and the water. We raised our four children at this house, and have so many memories at the beach, cooking over the fire, watching the snow line in the mountains across Hood Canal for the perfect time to go sledding, growing our garden out back, raising chickens and all the pets.
We now live on Bainbridge Island but visit often. We want to share the property we love so much with our family and others, so they might enjoy the beauty of Hansville and all there is do here.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because we knew we wanted the most beautiful view of the Olympic Mountain range and be next to the beach. We wanted to raise our kids in a setting where they were very tied to nature.

What makes this property unique

Once you see the view from the house, you will understand why we wanted to live here. Even on a cloudy day, the vista is magical. It is a 180-degree view from the bay of Port Gamble to the south, up the canal to Port Townsend to the north. The view of Olympic Mountains never gets old as you watch it go through the seasons from the first snowfall to when it mostly melts in August. The sea air calms me every time I visit.
