Charming beachside cottage! House is right on the beach. Loved panoramic views of Puget Sound from kitchen/great room and main bedroom and front porch. Great outdoor living space on front and side porches with big, comfy sofas on both. Enjoyed sitting on front porch to watch boats and shore birds and gorgeous sunsets over the Sound.Home is located in lovely, quiet neighborhood... great for long walks.Host is local and was quick to answer questions both before our stay and after we arrived.

Lovely house- beautiful location

We had a great time at Berg’s landing- such a fun historic place with an amazing view. We had one day of perfect weather to enjoy the beach, kayaking, and smores at the fire pit. The house was very clean and the beds and couch were so comfortable. Convenient location for Tacoma, Puget Sound and even Seattle.

Gig Harbor Gem

We used this property as our home base to visit Mount Rainier. We were comfortable in this historic building, and wished we had more time to explore nature and relax a bit after an adventurous week in both Washington and Montana. We saw a bald eagle and a seal from the deck of this location. Kristen was attentive and accommodating.

This house is lovely and has beautiful water views. We enjoyed reading the history of the house & what made it special to the area. The neighborhood is quiet with low traffic streets for easy walking and running. It is very close to a Gig Harbor and its wonderful attractions and a reasonable drive to Seattle. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the water craft but were happy they were an option. Thank you for the personal welcome!

Gig Harbor beach house

My family stayed at the home from 6/22-6/28. We were blessed with nice weather the entire trip. The location is fantastic. We were super lucky to be sitting on the deck when Orca came into the bay! If you like walking the beach and kayaking and just being outside, this is the place. The beach is literally steps away. Our property manager was very helpful in responding to questions. I would book this home again.

“The Water House”

We had an amazing stay at “The Water House” named by my almost three year old. At this time of year, Bergs Landing was quiet, peaceful, full of amazing light and views, and a perfect place to relax and spend some quality family time together. We had everything we needed for cooking several meals at the house and loved the location and it’s proximity to the beach and water, but also the quick trip to Safeway! This location is one of a kind with its interesting history and beautiful views.

Amazing property

A coworker and I went for two nights to be heads down on a project. The space was large enough that we were comfortable and the amenities were amazing. We had a blast kayaking after work. The only thing that alarmed me was a 10am check out. I’ve never seen a check out so early but it was clear in the listing and the place was so amazing that it was ok. Would love to come back sometime.

Great week at the boat launch!

Had a tremendous time staying in this renovated historic general store. We stayed here all week with our family and loved the atmosphere and location. S’mores by the fire pit and kayaking with the provided kayaks were just some of the highlights from a great week. This property is located right at the boat lunch which allowed us to meet all sorts of great people and to enjoy watching families and boaters come and go. And the best part of the week was the occasional visits on the deck from some of the local “beach dogs” Walter and Millie who made sure we were having a great time. The sunsets were to die for and sitting by the fire on our own little private beach was absolutely perfect! Can’t wait to go back!
