Reserve this gorgeous beachfront paradise, consisting of both the main house and an on-site guest home, situated right on the shore of the Carr Inlet. Between the two rentals, you'll have plenty of space for up to nine lucky guests. The single-story main house features a chic, tastefully appointed living room with large windows, record player (with a large selection of vinyl), and a fun, retro jukebox. Prepare meals in the full, updated kitchen, or fire up the gas grill and dine outside on the expansive, furnished deck. The 650-square-foot guest house includes a well-equipped compact kitchen, a desk and chair, cozy furnishings, and its own furnished patio area with an additional grill.

Drop in to the water and take your kayak out for a morning paddle. Kopachuck State Park, just a couple miles away, features two miles of shaded hiking trails, sun-warmed beaches, picnic areas, and outdoor activities that include swimming, paddleboarding, boating, shellfish harvesting, and saltwater fishing. Only five miles from this rental, visit downtown Gig Harbor for shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater. And enjoy a day trip or two to Vashon Island (the Point Defiance Ferry is 14 miles east), Tacoma (16 miles southeast), Port Orchard (19 miles north), or Seattle (35 miles northeast).

    A great view and comfortable home made the trip easy. Beds were a bit small but very comfy. The extra cottage was convenient and made for extra room however it had a very strong musty smell that we could not get rid of, most notably in the bottom level and especially in the bathroom/hot water heater area. The main house has no odor. Being right on the water with a beautiful view of the mountains made it a great place to stay - seal watching was a highlight.

    Wonderful place to stay! The 7 of us childhood friends had a great time and were very comfortable. Place was pretty clean & very relaxing. Loved sitting out on the large back deck, just looking at the water and all the nature. So good for the soul!

    This was a great option for our two families (with kids). Great beach and private grassy yard with a deck. We all loved the fact that it was a waterfront home without all the popular “beach house” signage/decor.

    My family loves the location and atmosphere of this home. The views and property grounds are lovely. The home is spacious and comfortable. I think the lower level and bathroom of the little house need to be updated.

    We were all in from Philly for my son's graduation & this property was perfect for all of us! The deck & waterfront were beautiful. Used the kayak & saw so many harbor seals. The house was spacious & loved the juke box & record collection for the turntable. Had a few small issues but were resolved quickly. Would definately rent this property again!

    We are from Seattle and wanted to rent a house to kayak in the south sound area. This house was the ideal location. The house has a beautiful view over the water to Raft Island. We loved watching the tides come and go. The deck off the back is huge and a lovely place to sit and watch the view, read books, barbecue, and just hang out. The inside is so comfortable, with a large living room and large dining table and complete kitchen facilities. The beds are super comfy. We found lots of places within 30-40 minutes to put our kayak in and explore. We loved our whole week here and have signed up again for next year.
