Charming Puget Sound/Mt Rainier View House

This property is pristine, spacious and comfortable. Very well appointed - it had everything you could ask for including the most amazing view of Mt. Rainier. The host was incredibly responsive. The only downside was that we couldn’t stay longer!

Oh my goodness, I just cannot say enough about this property and the owners, Carl and Vicky. The pictures absolutely do NOT do this property justice. It is so gorgeous. The view of Puget sound from the upstairs is breathtaking. You can enjoy the view while cooking, hanging in the living room, relaxing in the master, or chilling on the deck together. We ate outside every night and loved watching the Point Defiance ferry travel back and forth from Tacoma to Vashon Island. The master bedroom is so so pretty and the bathroom is huge and amazing. The downstairs is awesome as well. There's an adorable room with bunk beds set up for kids and a nice bedroom with a queen. There's also a cute little hangout space with a couch and TV down there. It's great! The little backyard is so cute and we saw quite a few deer hanging out under the trees. Across the street, there's a peacock who walks around and does a funny call. My son named him Treecock the Peacock : ) The location of the house is in an adorable neighborhood and you only have a short drive to get to the shops and restaurants in downtown Gig Harbor. We also loved going to Sunrise Beach to explore. Honestly, we couldn't have dreamed of a better place to stay. It was wonderful. On top of that, Carl is literally the BEST. He is so kind, helpful, and communicative. He checked-in to make sure we were doing ok and was even kind enough to remind us about trash night! Carl is very responsive! Highly, highly recommend this house!!

We had a lovely stay in August at this comfortable home in a nice neighborhood. The house is well equipped and the wifi was reliable and fast enough for video conference calls and for streaming videos. The windows are screened so we were able to enjoy sleeping with them open almost every night. On two unseasonably warm evenings we closed up the house and were appreciative of the central air conditioning. The blackberry vines growing on the property (and throughout the neighborhood) were a pleasant surprise - we very much enjoyed picking and eating the blackberries. But the best of all was the view. No photo can do justice to that view. Watching the boats go by on Puget Sound was delightful. And on clear days Mt Ranier was visible on the horizon and the view was even more spectacular. We hope to return some day!

The property was exactly what we were looking for. We were visiting family and the location of the property was close to downtown Gig Harbor but far enough away that it was very quiet. The house was set up perfectly for our family and provided enough space for everyone to spread out. The best part was the amazing view! I could have sat out on that deck and looked at the clear view of Mount Rainer all day. Carl was a very responsive host as I head a few questions before our trip. He was always very quick to respond and was very helpful. When we arrived I really appreciated Carl's phone call for an orientation to the property. I would definitely stay here again when I visit the area.

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The views are gorgeous! It was clean and kitchen was fully stocked. The owners were very responsive. There was a big snow storm the weekend of our trip and they were willing to be flexible regarding check in/out times if needed to prioritize safety.

Rented this home for over a week for Christmas —- it was a fantastic location; the home itself was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone; huge garage to keep the car warm; laundry room upstairs. And the views of the water and Mt Rainier were amazing. There is also a private park/beach that the kids enjoyed too. Carl was also a fantastic host and was always in contact.

My family had a great time at this property. We were four adults and one baby and it was perfect for us. The view is awesome, and the porch is great for grilling and relaxing. The upstairs space is an ideal common area for a stay with family or friends. The property was also very clean. We’d absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in the area.

This is our second visit to this home .The view is breathtaking ,we had an amazing visit !!! We will return thank you for the hospitality.

We had such an amazing stay here with our family and friends, it has one of the most breathtaking views in the area and the home had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. And the private beach with a little playground within walking distance was an added bonus for our 6 year old who loved it! Owners were very helpful with any questions/instructions we had or needed, would definitely recommend this property to anyone planning to visit the area!!

We moved to Gig Harbor in February 2019. Due to many storms in CA our furniture didn't arrive until 8 days later. We searched for a place to stay and were so lucky that we discovered this beautiful home. We arrived late at night and the first thing that struck us was the amazing view of the Puget Sound. The home itself was so comfortable felt like we belonged there. Everything we needed for our comfortable was included and Carl could not have been a more gracious host. We were sad to leave when our furniture finally arrived and we moved into our new home. We will absolutely rent this home again when our friends and family come for a visit.
