The Giggle Fish~Beachfront- Pet Friendly Hood Canal Getaway

Welcome to Giggle Fish on Hood Canal! Our waterfront beach home is the ideal place to relax and take in the peaceful views of Hood Canal. With three bedrooms, it comfortably accommodates six people. Our property is fenced all the way around and is pet friendly. There are many places to relax, inside and out. With decks off both the beach cabin and the boat house, you can find both sun and shade during the summer months. The outdoor area offers plenty of seating, a fire pit, a lawn for playing, and easy access to the beach. In the winter months, the inside area is a cozy spot for relaxation. Play a board game, read a book, or cook a nice meal in our well appointed kitchen. From all the windows, you’ll enjoy watching the various wildlife from bald eagles, herons and other seabirds, to seals, sea lions, and even the occasional whale.

Just north of the town of Hoodsport, our location offers quick access to grocery and restaurant options as well as plenty of outdoor activities. There is wonderful hiking throughout the Olympic National Forest and at nearby lakes. Hoodsport is a scuba diving paradise, as we are very close to Sund Rock Marine Preserve. A short drive north brings you to Hama Hama Oyster Saloon, a fun place to enjoy outdoor dining on local eats, or to purchase local shellfish. There are also golf courses and casinos nearby. Of course once you walk through the gate of the property, you may not want to leave!
*Please note that there is parking for 2 cars. Parking is between the fenced yard and Highway 101, and is narrow. *

So relaxing
The view from every room was spectacular! Spent most of the time on the huge deck where we saw a bald eagle the first morning. Also saw orcas and sea lions. And stargazing was amazing. We had plenty of room for our family of five and bonus was the incredible fenced yard so we felt very comfortable letting our two dogs roam, which they absolutely loved. Plus there was a scooper and hose for messes in the yard. Loved the bonus boat house bedroom and access to the beach. The road was pretty busy on the weekend but the sound gets muffled by the sounds of the water. Great little town with grocery store nearby and excellent hamburger/teriyaki/ice cream place and the best little pizza place just a mile or so up the road. Checkin was easy, beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and did I mention the view!! Hoping to make this an annual vacay. Already miss having coffee on the deck staring at the water.

Comfy Waterfront Stay
This is a true waterfront property with beach access. The main house has everything you need for a great stay. Comfortable furniture inside and out. 2 spacious bedrooms upstairs and a big open kitchen, dining and living space plus full bathroom downstairs. Dining and grill outside as well. The small cabin has a full bathroom and bedroom. Close to town.

Gorgeous Waterfront Property!
6 adults and 2 pups had a great time! Wish we could have stayed longer. We had all sorts of weather, but still enjoyed the fire pit through it all! The stars shone so brightly at night. We all want to come back in the summer when Hoodsport must be a hopping little town! Thank you for having us.

The solitude, the gorgeous weather (go got lucky and had sunshine most of the time we were there), the wildlife (we saw seals, a blue heron, and lots of water fowl), the view, and the property itself was amazing! We would definitely stay again!

Fantastic Stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Giggle Fish house with 2 other couples and had an amazing time. The house is very well decorated and equipped, and the view is fantastic. The location from downtown Hoodsport is perfect, far enough away to be quiet, but a quick drive if you need anything. I highly recommend this home, it was perfect for our visit!

They've thought of everything here!
You feel very well taken care of here. Everything is provided, the location is so pretty right on the water and we loved the fenced yard for our little dog. The third bedroom and second bathroom in the listing is in a little separate cabin and would be so fun for a group. Parking is on a busy road but it was fine for us. We were there in February so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor area but it would be amazing in better weather.

The two separate houses worked really well for us since our daughter, son-in-law and new baby really needed some private time when the little one was sleepy but we were all still noisy. The facilities were well cared for and clean.

Family meet up on Hood Canal
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We go out annually to Hood Canal. Usually we stay in a family cabin but this year we were having an anniversary so several of us found other properties to stay in. Giggle Fish offered a very comfortable house in a great location for our group. Plenty of room for the kids to move about and Grandma loved the boathouse cabin. We did the things we usually love at Hood Canal: kayaking, hiking at Staircase, easy grocery shopping and looking around Hoodsport and just sitting by the water enjoying every moment. Giggle Fish had everything we needed and more to have a great, relaxing time!

Couldn't Be Closer To The Water!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Giggle Fish was very enjoyable. Nice furnishings both inside and out. Cute touches like fresh flowers in the bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen. Very comfy beds with quality linens. Really nice to have the two kayaks for our use. It was beautifully sunny the say's we were there and the upstairs bedrooms became VERY warm. There were fans in every bedroom, but the lack of air conditioning was a issue. Also - being so close to Hwy 101 made for a lot of traffic noise.

Lots of fun at Giggle Fish!!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous stay at Giggle Fish! House was beautifully situated on the beach, with gorgeous views. Close to Hama Hama where we picked up fresh oysters and crab which we prepared in the very well appointed kitchen. The property is fully fenced, but keep in mind if you have a small-medium dog, there are large gaps along the freeway side of the fence that are VERY large. We didn't feel comfortable having our dog off-leash in the yard which made for some realllllly cold potty breaks since it snowed while we were there. Would be great to add a hot tub to this property. Overall, lovely place!
