Nature Lover's Retreat with Fantastic Views of Shipping Lanes and Cascades
About this house rental
The Loki Bluff House sits on a bluff with sweeping views of the Shipping Lanes, Whitbey Island, Edmonds across the Sound, and the entire Cascade Mountain Range - the most spectacular sunrises await early risers! The huge deck is perfect for taking in a meal, relaxing, whale watching, seeing herons fish in Puget Sound and bald eagles soar above. 2 Bedrooms, 2 baths, the large family room and deck give 1600 sq ft to stretch out. A gas fireplace provides ambiance and warmth upstairs, while the downstairs has a wood stove insert to make even winter nights cozy. Grab the binoculars and watch the multitude of boat traffic, from cruise ships to tug boats to fishing and sail boats, and even the occasional submarine! In the March - May evenings, the frog chorus is a reminder that you're not in the city any more. Swallows or other small birds like to nest in the bird houses in front of the kitchen windows between April to June providing a unique perspective of the local wildlife. Walk 1/2 mile through lovely Point No Point Park to explore the beach and light house. Turn the lights down and enjoy the twinkling lights in the distance or the moon's bright reflection on the sparking water. Away from the city lights, you can seemingly see every star in the Milky Way..... While the city is not far away, this house is located in a rural area. The last 200 yards are dirt road. It has a septic system and is on a well. You may hear coyotes at night. A new water filtration system was installed in 2021/22. Additional drinking water is provided in easy to change 5 gal hot/cold dispenser.

If you are looking for a fabulous unobstructed view of the Puget Sound shipping channel, consider this property. We greatly enjoyed sitting on the deck in the early morning drinking coffee and watching the traffic on the water, large and small. We also enjoyed walking the trails at nearby parks.
The house itself has a homey feel with new carpeting and furnishing that are in excellent condition. No sagging couches here! The kitchen and baths are reasonably equipped and the house is very clean.
We also appreciated the fact that the homeowner was very responsive and accommodating.

We stayed here over Thanksgiving weekend. The house has beautiful views of the Sound and shipping lanes. Sunrises were magnificent! It was a beautiful, cozy place to spend the long weekend.
The owner was very responsive to communications and responded quickly when we sent messages.

Well organized vacation rental, homey and comfortable. Lower level is like its own apartment. No beach out the door but nearby (15 min walk or drive). Towns 20-30 minutes away. Shopping 10 minutes. Drinking water from dispenser; former issues with well water solved. Not isolated but quiet; we felt comfortably "alone."

Comfortable Home with Excellent View
This home is in a great location for an Olympic Penninsula vacation. The owner communicates well and provides helpful information. The home has all the basic essentials plus more. The neighbors are pleasant. The view is spectacular. During our week we saw eagles, seals, Orcas, and more right from the back deck. Very relaxing week.

We had a beautiful two weeks at Lydia’s place in Hansville.
The shipping lanes were what drew us to this retreat in Hansville, and they did not disappoint. My husband’s passion is photographing ocean-going vessels, and his days were full watching the paradade of ships pass our deck. There were only two of us, but the house would have easily provided a great vacation for a whole family. Lydia was very responsive and eager to be please while sharing her beautiful haven. She took our suggestions to heart for making her spot as seamless as possible. There is a lot of light coming into the upstairs bedroom in the morning, so late sleepers may want to choose to sleep downstairs. My husband is quite tall, so the short queen bed was uncomfortable for him, but we managed. The gas fireplace kept us cozy during the early summer chills we had when we first arrived. Overall, we had a very pleasant two weeks communing with nature and counting ships. Thanks, Lydia, for sharing your special place with us.

A special find
This is a wonderful place in a premium location. We were able to spend a few weeks here in the fall of 2021, and it was even better than we hoped. We couldn't stop looking at the extraordinary Puget Sound view from the deck and from the upstairs living and dining room -- the water and sky and mountain views are constantly changing, and all ship, boat, bird, whale, and marine life traffic passes by this bluff. There's a lovely 3/4 mile walk down to the long, beautiful, public beach by Point No Point lighthouse.
Inside it is comfortable and homey in any weather, with 2 large living spaces in addition to the 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, plus romantic fireplaces, nice furniture, an easy kitchen, and some high quality fixtures and touches. A fancy machine provides great drinking water. Even with the great view of the Sound, the place is extraordinarily private and quiet.
Near Hansville on the tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, the home is apart from the hustle and bustle found in many places, yet it is just a 10 or 15 minute drive from groceries and within 25-30 minutes of attractions like picturesque Poulsbo and Port Gamble. We used it as a jumping off point for day trips everywhere from the Olympic Peninsula to the Hood Canal to downtown Seattle. It just felt like home. The host was easy to work with. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

The view is spectacular and ever changing with the shipping lane including the cruise ship we saw on arrival to the leviathan container ships down to amazing sail boats and fishing/crabbing boats. The big surprise was the clouds - at night with the moon and at sunrise like we have never seen before. So peaceful. The accomodations are excellent. Very comfortable. Feels like home. Great job Lydia!!!

Lydia place was perfect for a several days of relaxing with abundant nature all around (e.g., old-growth forest, Puget Sound beaches, bird sanctuary). The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable - and the views! We hope to return.

Awesome Weekend
Another incredible weekend! The house and location are wonderful. Lydia is an incredible host. On top of all that, the local bald eagles put on a show right over the water, right off the deck.

Perfect... Clean, beautiful, and as picturesque as you want. Very rural with anything you want within 10 miles. Casino, restaurants, grocery both local and commercial. We enjoyed the deck off the kitchen and living room with fireplace the most. Downstairs there is a wood stove with a deeply equipped sound system. Couldn't ask for more... Then we saw the bald eagles (plural) and the massive ocean going ships and barges slide by. Neighbors are fun and super nice. No issues at all really... Thank you to the owners of this slice of the good life! We'll be talking soon for either next Xmas or this summer!!!!!JP

We stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday as a quick getaway. The home was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The beach is a short walk through woods and allows for long strolls. We saw about 50 seals out in the water, an unexpected treat. It’s also a bird area, so lots of bird watching to be done. The view from the house is expansive and beautiful. We had a couple of small hiccups (mix up with door code and a short power outage) but Lydia was quick to respond and help resolve things. The power outage actually added to the experience - there were plenty of candles and we had a quiet, screen free family evening. It is important to note the well water, but there is plenty of drinking water on hand. Also worth noting, the downstairs shower is wonderful. We had a great visit and would definitely recommend a stay here.

Relaxing getaway
We had a great stay at this property. It was comfortable and it had a great water view. The place was cozy and the place was stocked with what we needed.
Note there is not a washer and dryer and that was a little inconvenient for us but otherwise it was great. We enjoyed the games and puzzles that were available.
Communication with the host was great.

Comfortable house, splendid location
We enjoyed our three nights here, especially the views east over the water. The house is spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. We found it thoroughly clean and hopefully left it that way. The rural setting is beautiful, with farms and fields between the highway and the clifftop house. Nearby trails include Point No Point County Park, the Hansville Greenway, and Foulweather Bluff Nature Preserve, all easy and interesting. The little store at Hansville made good sandwiches, and a big Albertson’s a few miles south had everything else we could have wanted. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video provided evening entertainment (no TV).
The downstairs family room is heated by a wood stove. Firewood was supplied but we didn’t use it, so that room was cold at night. However, the small adjoining downstairs bedroom was plenty warm with baseboard heating. The gas fireplace, with thermostat, kept the upstairs living area and bedroom comfortably warm.
If you rent, double-check with the owner about the code to open the lockbox. We were lucky that a neighbor was home and knew the correct code, instead of the obsolete one we were given. We hope to return to Loki Bluff!

What a great place to crash and refuel for a few days. The views were awesome and we spent pretty much all the time on the porch. Lydia was super quick in her responses.
