Beachfront retreat with Mt. Rainier views

Classic, spacious 1930's beach house just 90 minutes from Seattle. Fast Wi-Fi with an office for work, and the most iconic Mr. Rainier and water views in the South Puget Sound. This is a quiet retreat from city life, though the charms of Gig Harbor are only 30 minutes away. Drive a few minutes to 3 state parks, or just stay and enjoy the beauty and peace.

The house retains its original charm and has been updated with a cozy gas fireplace, a new kitchen, quartzite counters and stainless steel appliances, fresh interiors, and a deep soaking tub. The dining and living rooms comfortably accommodate a family or group of friends, and the remodeled kitchen has all the you'll need to make great meals including pots, pans, coffee maker, colander, garlic press, dishes and utensils, toaster, rice maker, Instant Pot, blender, and basic spices and oils.

While here, you can kayak, play Badminton, roast marshmallows at the beach-side fire pit, paddle, play a round of bocce ball, or just relax. There is an eagle's nest next door and the birdlife generally is amazing, especially in the winter. A pair of seals keep an eye on the house most days, and a pair of deer often flank the bocce ball court.

Fantastic for a getaway by the water

Cathy's place is fantastic. It's spacious, comfortable, and has a beautiful view of the water. The kitchen was great as we did cooked each night. The living areas were perfect for our small children to spread out with their toys. Highly recommend and I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful setting on Puget Sound

We had a wondeful time at this lovely house with simply outstanding views of southern Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier. The wildlife in the area was amazing - lots of bald eagles, seals and even otters lounging on the floating dock. Rear deck and multiple levels in the tiered backyard made for some excellent times for our family.

Extraordinary house in a quiet, serene setting

This lovely home, with its incredible view and quiet setting, was the perfect fit for our family of five to enjoy a few days of spring break vacation. Spring weather in the Puget Sound is mercurial, but we got lucky with three clear, albeit chilly, days to enjoy kayaking the bay and watching seals, bald eagles, and other wildlife. We would not hesitate to return.

Absolutely wonderful!

I stayed with my family and parents at this magnificent home that just blew us away with the setting, the views, the wildlife and the comfort and decor of the home. We felt so so lucky to be there and spent the week talking about the changing tides, admiring our surroundings and playing in the water. It felt like we were staying in the home of a friend, not a rental and Cathy is so generous to open her cozy welcoming space to strangers like us. Can’t WAIT to come back!!

Perfect little lake getaway

What a peaceful and serene spot to relax! We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and in the living room just absorbing the beauty around us. Kitchen was well stocked and great for cooking family meals. I took my grandparents with me, and there's a bedroom and (not ADA) bathroom on the first floor which was convenient for them. The rooms upstairs were comfortable and lovely! I couldn't spot a heater upstairs, in case you run cold, but the living room fireplace was very nice on cooler evenings.

I am in love with this property! I can't wait to return. The attention to detail at the Beach House is above and beyond. Everything you need is there - if not, one call to Cathy and your needs are met, she is awesome. As we were packing up - all I think about was can I stay one more day and when can I book another stay!! Thanks Cathy - the experience was priceless, and my girlfriend was left speechless by the absolutely beautiful house! Dianne
