Fox Island, Washington
Waterfront Beach House (850 square feet with a full kitchen and a huge deck) with magnificent views of Mt. Rainier to the South and the Olympic Mountains to the North. Have a fire on the beach (158 feet of low bank waterfront) and play in the sandy beach coves. Bring your boat, the crabbing is great! Launch it from the private, concrete boat ramp and tie it up to the buoy. Bring your tennis shoes (we supply racquets and balls) and play tennis on the all-weather court. A croquet set is available to enjoy on the lawn by the beach.
Fox Island Details: Fox Island is accessible by bridge (NOT ferry) from Gig Harbor and Tacoma, WA. Zog's is a new bar and short order restaurant on the island with Convenience store attached.
Gig Harbor Details: Gig Harbor, 'the Maritime City,' is still a commercial fishing village. It has restaurants, shops, galleries, and recreation just 10 miles from the Beach House.
Boating Details: There is a boat ramp on the property where you can launch your private boat and tie it up to the buoy out front. You can rent boats in Gig Harbor and Tacoma.
Hiking/Walking Details: you can walk the beach a mile in each direction when the tide is out. There are many in-land walking trails nearby.

This property was the perfect place to unwind after visiting the University of Puget Sound's family weekend activities! The deck was unbeatable--we enjoyed coffee in the mist, cocktails at sunset...delightful. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. We would come again anytime!
Great cabin on the sound. We wanted something away from the city and on the water. This is it. Great deck overlooking the sound. Very comfortable accommodations and everything is as advertised. Wonderful hosts.
We came to enjoy the wildlife and nature and this paradise fulfills that. We got to see porpoise, eagles, heron, and explore at low tide. The picture window and deck are truly remarkable to enjoy the surroundings!
Perfect spot and amazing hosts. Can’t wait to go back.
Just what we needed. Amazing views and wonderful location. Everything we needed. Bill and Sue were excellent hosts!
This was a beautiful place to relax and unwind. Had everything we needed. Thanks Bill and Sue!
Incredible view of the sound, beautiful gardens, & lovely location. Highly recommend.
If you want a excellent water view, this is perfect. However, interior needs an update and a good cleaning
They made an effort to communicate about local attractions and they had almost everything we needed for cooking, cleaning up, bedding and towels. We did not need to contact the owners about any problems.
The view is absolutely wonderful. The cottage is right ON the water so you can see the dolphins, cranes, a bald eagle right outside the door, the deer that wander through the property, the occasional seal, the migrating geese, the boats on the bay, the planes going into Seatac airport at night, and the activity on the other side of the narrow bay. What more can one ask for? Except beautiful weather, which we got for our 3 days there. It's perfect if you love the Pacific NW and the waterways. We plan to go back.
