Canal O'Neal, Gathering Place on the Hood Canal in Belfair, WA

Stunning views, open floor plan, beautiful outdoor dining and seating  area, hot tub, water access, dock, indoor and outdoor games and much more. The inside has four different comfortable areas to gather with local art and cozy sitting areas.  We also offer 4 bedrooms with a separate bunkhouse, a comfortable sofa bed plus princess in the pea sleeping library.  

The house is located in Belfair, WA overlooking the Hood Canal (part of the Puget Sound) with sunset and Olympic Mountain views, equipped with kayaks, stand up paddle boards and a dock.  A large lawn on the water with a fire pit and a grill on the upper deck.

Our family has made memories in this home for almost forty years.  Our dad grew up loving to spend time on this part of the canal for it's warm water, sunsets, seafood and views. He and my mom found this house and made it their home.  My brothers and I have been lucky enough to raise our kids coming on vacations and spending holidays here.  The grandchildren have wonderful memories of kayaking, learning to swim, holiday joys, and tons of family fun.  In the summer the water is the warmest in the Pacific Northwest with an average of 75 degrees.  

When our dad passed and mom wanted to have a smaller space full time, my husband and I decided to turn this home into a place for all to be able to make memories in.  We have had weddings, memorials, bachelorette and bachelor parties, birthday celebrations, work retreats, family and friend reunions.  We hope you choose to book with us and make some great memories too.

This is a fantastic house right on the water, with a great dock for swimming and lots of kayaks and paddle boards. There is a beautiful view from throughout the house and decks. It is great for a large groups, plenty of sleeping accommodations, lots of space to spread out and relax, and a very large kitchen to prepare meals. A wonderful place to celebrate with family and friends.

Wonderful house on the hood canal

Excellent condition with plenty of sleeping for 12 people - no one had to share a bed. The tide here is pretty crazy, really shocking and interesting if you've never seen a really low tide before!

Top Quality VRBO on Hood Canal

This location is beautiful and right on the water. It is a perfect location for large family gatherings. There is quite a lot of room to spread out with unexpected nooks and crannies. We all enjoyed the fully stocked boat shed, (note, it opens like a garage door). Tons of water toys (7 total 4 kayaks, 3 SUPs and lawn games. Clamming is really good in the low tide mud flats (be sure to get a shellfish license). The rooms are very comfortable. Three queen rooms share two small bathrooms with the bunk house. Views are stunning. We hope to return some day.

Beautiful home,any great memories made

This was a beautiful home. We attended a family reunion nearby and rented this home for ourselves and some of our older family members. They fell in love with the house as soon as they walked in. Decor was very warm and inviting with a lot of Pacific NW touches. The house was clean and property was well maintained. Ample parking. Location is also very close to nearby groceries. We had a wonderful stay and made many great memories. We would definitely consider renting this home again. Thank you!

Everything we hoped for & more!

This is a gorgeous home, big enough to contain all 13 of us (ages 3-75) comfortably, and yet it’s really cozy. The toys are epic - kayaks & SUPs, ping pong, musical instruments, foosball, chess, stuffed animals, work out room & hot tub - we used almost everything! The kitchen is fully equipped with particularly nice cookware & tableware. We loved every minute of our stay.💕

Wonderful experience

We had a group of 15 consisting of four generations of family in the home. We had plenty of space to spread out for individual activities or quiet time, then come together for meals and evening devotions. Inside, everything we needed was provided. Outside, the grounds and yard were beautiful and well kept. Kayaks and dock provided excellent access to the warm clean waters of Hood Canal. We would love to vacation there again, but cost would be a consideration.

Simply the best

I organized a family reunion at this house consisting of two seniors, six adults, four children, and one infant. Everyday of our visit someone thanked me for finding the perfect house. It was a vacation to remember. I am so grateful to the O’Neal’s for allowing us the chance to share in their beloved family home.

Had a great time kayaking, oyster hunting, watching eagles, seals and otters. Beautiful view looking over the water, to the forest a on the opposite shore to the snow capped mountains beyond the forest. My grandchildren had so much fun. Really a gorgeous home. Thanks for renting this property to us.

Amazing house

This house is just perfect! It's very large (fit our 13 adults no problem), and the views are outstanding as you're right on the lake. The main level is awesome, with the kitchen, living room, sun room, outside deck, and 3 bedrooms (4 including the pullout couch in the game room). Plenty of things to do outside, like just lounging on a deck chair, playing corn hole, kayaking, fishing, swinging, having a bonfire, etc. The dock was a huge plus as we were able to bring our boat to enjoy the water. There's a public boat launch area just a couple miles away, and although we didn't know how to do this at the time you can just leave your boat tied up to the buoy that is right out in front of the house and allow your boat to slowly be lowered on to dry land when the low tide comes without doing any damage to the boat. The property management company (Evolve) was absolutely worthless, but it was made up for by the owner being very responsive to questions. Don't even bother with the property management company, and just go straight to the owner, as they give her email address in the initial information. We would definitely stay here again. Just a fun and peaceful place to hang out.

I need to live here

What an incredible home, location, view and weekend. Five pandemic stressed moms stayed the weekend and really could have never left. The home was immaculate, well stocked with great quality products, and had instructions and descriptions everywhere. There are enough nooks and corners and living spaces to make everyone happy. The upstairs reading nook with the fabulous books was a joy. I never wanted to leave. Thank you to the O'Neal family for sharing this amazing and special place. I will be back. Thank you!

Great Property for a Large Group

We held a 14 person family reunion at this property with family members from 6 years old to 80. Everyone was happy!! The property was great with ample space to spread out so that if sombody wanted a little quit time they could do that. And if we all wanted to gather together we could do that too. Spectacular views, clean, well appointed and overall one of the best VRBO properties we have been to. Especially for a large group.

Everything you need for a chill family vacation

Fantastic, very clean house on the water that’s been thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation with friends and family - from pingpong to board games to kayaks and croquet :-) And if you’re in the mood for cooking/baking - there’s even a stand mixer and a Vitamix blender! We were two families (5 adults and 4 kids 10-14) and we had a wonderful time. Loved the turntable and the classic records as well.

Relaxing stay on Hood Canal with great views!

We booked the property for the 4th of July weekend and had a really good time. The house is big, accommodating comfortably up to 20 people. The bunk cabin (6 beds) was perfect to give the children their own space! There’s a park about 5 miles away where put our jetski on the water and taxied it to the property. We had a blast on the water, it was nice to be able to use the available kayaks & paddleboards. Just make sure to pay attention to the tide, as you might not be able to get your boat/jetski out in time (there’s a tidal schedule on the wall near the kitchen). After the water fun we used the jacuzzi to get warm and relax! Overall a very pleasant stay! Highly recommended.
