About the cabin

A quiet stretch of Hood Canal, two hours from Seattle

Leonora by the Sea is a small, family-owned waterfront cabin in Tahuya, Washington, on the north shore of the Hood Canal. It's a two-bedroom getaway with private beach access, where the tide pulls back twice a day to reveal a working oyster bed and a clean view of the Olympic mountains across the water. This is the quiet side of Puget Sound — no traffic, no crowds, no cell towers crowding the skyline. Most of our guests come to slow down: morning coffee in the bay window, an afternoon out on the kayaks we keep at the property, an evening on the deck watching seals work the kelp line and bald eagles drift down from the firs.

We've been hosting on the Hood Canal for a few years now, with 81 reviews averaging 4.99 stars and Superhost status on Airbnb. The cabin is also bookable directly through this site at the same nightly rate, with no platform fees and the same instant confirmation.

Great stay! We saw so much wildlife in the water it was phenomenal, watched an eagle fish while we ate breakfast. Best stocked kitchen at an Airbnb. Beds where very comfortable. Jonathan had excellent communication and a nice list of recommendations. Our group had a great time!

Amazing location, so peaceful and serene. The beach was amazing and the home was so comfy, cozy and all of the vintage touches felt us feel at home but also on vacation.
