Waterfront Family Retreat near Gig Harbor

Really enjoyed this rental. Great location and friendly host.

My family and I had such a lovely stay here. The separate houses were perfect for some privacy, and having beach access was simply magical. The hosts were very responsive and provided a well-stocked kitchen, bbq, chairs, towels, and beach toys to use. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay. The cabana was a great place for people to gather and an efficient place to prepare meals. The layout allowed us to comfortably slept 9. Additionally, we used the firepit, which functioned well. We did a little clean up ourselves prior to our gathering on Saturday. Other than that, an excellent stay. We have recommended this location to several friends already.

Great house and stunning location on the water. Perfect for a cozy thanksgiving retreat.

We stayed for 1week during the Summer with 2 families - each with young children (between 4 to 9 y.o.). The separate buildings are a perfect set up with either family having private areas, but still feeling like there was a natural flow to the communal areas to socialize and otherwise lounge around. The children made frequent use of the watchtower area - which gave space to us parents even with them being right by! Direct beach access with water that actually warms during the summer! There was no part of the day when someone wasn't at the shore - either wading to look at sealife at low tide or swimming and kayaking as the water came up. We brought our own multi person kayaks for kids to come out on the ocean, the 2 provided kayaks are 1person only. Overall, it definitely seems that this is a property designed practically by family people who wanted to live and enjoy the location with children around. We had an amazing stay.

Loved the layout of the property - three cabins. 2 for bedrooms, and 1 for kitchen and hanging out. Nice access to the water via rock wall steps. Younger children will need help. Adults and dogs - no problem. Rocky Bay is very interesting to explore at low tides. Kids want to visit again and this is close enough to Seattle that it would work for a normal 2-day weekend.

The view is beautiful from inside and outside the house. We particularly enjoyed taking the 2 provided kayaks on the sound. The beds were soft and comfortable, the area was calm/quiet. Doug responded very quickly to any question we had. The only thing that makes me give an overall 4 stars, and not 5, is the cleanliness. The 3 cabins had more dust and cobwebs than we liked, and all the outside furniture (fire pit table, picnic table and chairs) need to be cleaned.

Relaxing and beautiful. Doug was a great host and quickly fixed an issue we had. Our only concern was it felt like the last clean was a few weeks prior, we found more dust and cobwebs than what were normally used to on VRBO.

Amazing place for getting together

We looked for a place that could accommodate our 3 adult children and families on the Puget Sound waterfront. 9 of us in all with plenty of space for more. This is the perfect place for it. Ample space to spread out or hang together as desired. There are 3 separate buildings but all just steps away from each other. We weren't sure how that would be but turned out to be absolutely perfect. Extremely well equipped kitchen and lots of fun indoor and outdoor activities. The hosts communicated along the way and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. This right on the water so we spent a lot of time on the outside patio and walking the rocky shore collecting and observing the myriad of open creatures. If you've ever wanted to see live sand dollars this is the place with thousands of them. I couldn't recommend this place more. Absolutely gorgeous views and spectacular sunsets! You won't be disappointed!
