We had the most wonderful time kayaking everyday and seeing all the marine life. We even made friends with the bald eagle who flew over us on several occasions. Our hosts are special people who made our stay even more special.

Gig Harbor Getaway

My wife an I enjoyed this property. The view was tremendous. Lots of wildlife and water activity. Location to downtown Gig Harbor was a little further out than we thought, but totally acceptable for driving (10 minutes). Parking is a bit challenging but once you learn the method it was fine. Hospitality was excellent. Host was kind and personable - always offering to help in whatever way.

Great place to stay

We loved our stay here and agreed it was much too short. We thoroughly enjoyed the nice deck/patio in front of the rental, where we spent most of our time enjoying the lovely weather and beautiful view of the water. We were even lucky enough to see a harbor seal popping up his little head from the water to look at us several times as he traveled by. The beach was also fun to walk along when the tide was out. We curiously studied a starfish, many sea anemones, interesting drift wood, gathered several shells, and spotted two Bald Eagles alternating from flying/hunting and resting in a nearby tree. Kayaks were available to use, and we had excitedly planned on it; but, to be honest, we had become so completely relaxed here that we didn't want to break the peaceful spell of calm, cool rest we'd fallen under on the patio. As for the interior of the home, no detail was left unthought of by our sweet hosts. The interior of the home was beautiful and relaxing, complete with a number of books I had to force myself not to start as we were only there a short time, puzzles, large tv's in the living area and bedroom (important to the husband), comfortable and tasteful furnishings, and even two yummy bon bons for us to enjoy. The bed (highly important) was perfect - not too soft, not too hard, but just right - with high quality sheets and bedcovers and large comfy pillows. So nice! All in all, wonderful place with dear hosts!!!

Hands down the best location, hosts, and epic comfort levels!

Sorry Y'all, but this place is no longer available because I am moving in!! Cullen and Krissy have not only secured a slice of heaven with this property location, but the comfort level they provide with this unit is above and beyond! Arrival instructions and directions are spot on and they even have little signs posted on the road to guide you along the way. Meeting Cullen and Kristy on arrival is a must! They are the cutest, sweetest, and most humble people you will ever meet! They were always down for a chat, but also gave the utmost privacy. Walking down to the unit, I had to stop and pick up my jaw because the view is spectacular! I spent a few hours every day sitting out there admiring everything and the sea creatures. I constantly saw Otters, seals, and sea lions!! They even provide binoculars!! Walking into the unit I absolutely instantly felt I was at home. It’s thoughtfully set up, with so much thought put into the details. The living room has these huge windows looking out over the water with comfy spinning captain chairs to sit. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with anything you should need! The bedroom is cute and cozy with a comfortable bed and linens. The shower has GREAT water pressure and never once was there a shortage of hot water. The whole place was absolutely spotless and well taken care of. If you have the opportunity to stay here, I highly highly recommend….. if I’m not already here :) This is now my go to spot anytime I visit the area!!

Beautiful views

Our stay here was just lovely. The lower level has a view and a deck out front where you can just stare at the ocean and the trees. The host was amazing and walked us through things to do in Gig Harbor, and welcomed us with a tour of the space. The living spaces were clean and beautiful and the kitchen was fully stocked so we could prepare our own food as well. There are stairs down to the beach when the tide is low. It was so magical staying that close to the water. Kayaks were available but we didn't use this time around - but looking forward to next time! My only note is that I would recommend having an SUV or four wheel drive capable vehicle. The road down to the property is bumpy and a little steep. We were able to do it in our two wheel drive sedan but it was a bit of a struggle. So just be prepared. The host mentioned that it was on their list to pave but it's definitely worth a visit on the unpaved road - just be prepared!

Beautiful water views!

Once you get there - the road is gravel - bumpy and hilly - the view opens up and it’s beautiful. We stayed under the main house. It was spotless and cozy with everything we needed. No AC so windows open during the day for a cross breeze from the ocean and a gas fireplace to take the chill off. Hosts are around if you need them but had plenty of privacy including our own outdoor patio. We sat out there in the afternoons with our music and a book. Feels really secluded but 10 minutes from downtown. We were in town for a Hanger appointment for an Exosym. There’s a gravel drive then stairs with a handrail onto a cement patio but I was able to maneuver just fine especially after getting my device. We would definitely book again. Thanks

This place is amazing. Anymore waterfront and you’re probably on a boat. Quiet, clean, great hosts and unique. Will not disappoint. The pod of Orcas that casually cruised by was magical. I will be back!
