You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Dockside ~ Private Waterfront Paradise

Welcome to paradise on the pristine shores of Hood Canal! Awe inspiring waterfront studio with massive concrete prow and dock! Your doors open to epic views, sights and sounds! Ideally situated in the center of Calm Cove with protected water ideal for swimming, sunbathing and launching your kayak adventures. Outdoor fireplace affords the ultimate fireside experience! Perfectly located between Alderbrook Resort & Spa and Downtown Union!

The space
As much as we love pets, this one of a kind studio has a strict no pet policy. We only accept up to 2 registered guests. Thank you and we wish you the most pleasurable stay on Hood Canal!

Enjoy complimentary coffee, beach towels, small propane BBQ and a restful time after a full day at the beach. We just added a mid size refrigerator in the beach closet which is attached to the cabin near the driveway. This will help with extra beverages, food storage and ice (only a mini fridge inside the accommodation).

Please be advised that owner occasionally needs access to the boat on the dock. Boat is not for guest use. Respectfully, Kerry your property manager will communicate as early as possible via the Airbnb message platform regarding when the owner needs to access the dock during your stay.

Favorite things to do while staying here:

-Relax, unwind, be captivated by nature. Our rustic fireplace is one of the top highly rated reasons why guests love Dockside! Aside from the view, epic dock and beach access of course :).

-Hang out on the dock ALL. DAY. LONG. Swim, kayak, sunbath, sit and read! Then grill dinner on our propane grill and enjoy eating at the picnic table while taking in the sunset. Grab some wine from Cameo Boutique & Wine Shop (tell them Kerry sent you!).

-Reserve 2 single kayaks for $25 each (entire stay!) to paddle from the protected waters of Calm Cove to the Union City Market and have brunch or dinner at its popular "Canal Cook Out". Just ask Kerry to reserve and deliver your kayaks via the Airbnb message platform. Due to weather, kayaks are no longer stored at the end of the dock as seen in many of the photos.

-Enjoy Union! You are minutes from Alderbrook Resort & Spa (SUPs, chartered cruises and beautiful hiking trails), Robin Hood Restaurant & Pub (with its live music venue), Alderbrook Golf Club, Union Square Deli, Dos Margaritas, Union City Market, Dalby Water Wheel and much more.

There is a beach closet attached to the Dockside (closest to the parking lot) that stores kayak paddles, life vests, sunscreen, broom and other useful beach items for your stay. The key that opens the slider door is the same key used to lock and unlock the beach closet. Please use the double kayak at the end of the dock! There are waiver forms that must be signed located in the beach closet. Just fill it out and the Manager will pick it up after check out.

Please use extra caution when departing from Dockside. It is recommended to turn right (with traffic heading Westbound on SR 106). You may have to find a safer spot to turn around in order to head East on SR 106 (towards Alderbrook Resort/Belfair).

Wonderful rental! Such a beautiful property. The cabin is small but just right since we spent most time outside. Seals popped up every day around the dock. Quick ride to Alderbrook Resort if you want a nice dinner. Note, there is significant road noise but not so much it was annoying.
Gorgeous.

Great Hood Canal Location

Great property for a couple's getaway. Beautiful location, right on the water. Fun watching the seals and otters fish a short distance away from the dock.

Cozy cabin with an expansive view

Rented the cabin to be close to family who was moored at Alderbrook Lodge for the 4th of July weekend. The cabin is walking distance to the lodge, about 1.25 miles. The cabin is thoughtfully decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, no complaints ... would definitely book this cabin again!

Very Pleasant and Beautiful Property

We really enjoyed our quick stay at the beach house. The views of the Hood Canal were wonderful and that dock allowed you to feel like you're a part of it.

Our Perfect Spot

Kerry was quick to respond and offer additional services to make our stay memorable. A charcuterie platter was delicious and well appreciated. The place was amazing and more than we hoped for with unstoppable water views accompanied by two seals playing and a daily visit from a heron.
