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).

The view and the house was really great
Thank you! Beautiful setting! We will be back
We really enjoyed staying at the Tides Retreat. There was room for our whole family. It's a beautiful house right on the water. That provided plenty of entertainment for kids and adults alike! I would highly recommend it!
Location is beautiful and relaxing. Of the two bathrooms one is only useable f mobility is an issue. The second bathroom shower has a high step in and a deep step down. If short legged it would be difficult getting out. We especially enjoyed the vinyl albums and turn table. Great selection of music.
The location of the property and the view were great. The space was also comfortable and worked well for a family get together. Unfortunately it was managed by vacasa and I did NOT have a good experience with them. Poor and impersonal communication leading up to the rental and I had to call them when we arrived because they only provided the code to enter one of the two houses. They seemed to do the bare minimum to keep both houses running between rentals. There were notes on several of the windows saying that they were broken and not to open them - in areas that were hot and stuffy, where opening a window could have helped. We also had to spend a lot of time cleaning off the back deck before we could use it - it was totally covered in pine needles, like it hadn't been blown off in weeks. Outdoor furniture was old and tattered and the gate surrounding the yard and entry to the water was completely rusted and falling apart. Overall, we had a nice time with our family here, but the rental was expensive and should have been in better shape. Based on this experience, I would also rather deal direct with the home owner than a property manager such as vacasa in the future.
This is the second time we've stayed in this rental. The house itself, the surrouding property, the water front all amazing and we can't say enough positive comments about these things. The cleaning this time was troublesome. One of the king bedrooms did not have sheets, just a fitted sheet and a duvet with no cover. We were able to put sheets on ouselves. In fact none of the duvets had covers which made us wonder how they were cleaned between stays... There were trash items found on the floor of the ensuite bathroom, that's fine we disposed of them. What was troublesome throughout our stay was finding empty capsules tucked in couch cushions, and in the depressions in the ottoman. We have pets and were pretty lucky one of the dogs did not find these capsules themselves. Not sure what was housed in these pill sized empty capsules because whatever was in them was emptied out and all we found were the leftover dead soldiers. We left a few on the mantle of the fireplace in order to show the cleaners what to be on the lookout for. We also found beads, so many beads, in the carpets and along the cracks in the floor against the walls. Finding those with our feet was not very pleasant. We are cleanly people and generally leave the homes we stay in cleaner than when we received so 3 dish pods were a little disappointing for the size group and how many dishes we went through making our own meals there over 5 days. Again, cannot say enough about the home itself and the surrounding property. ALSO, Donna, the contact for our stay was wonderful when we needed her in locating our garbage cans after track pick up day. She came out and was able to locate them for us within just a few hours of when she was contacted. Overall I would recommend this home, but really hope the cleaning standards are raised.
We've stayed here the last 3 years in January. It's right on the water and you can ask for better views.
Wide open living and dining room, a view of the water that overlooks the beautiful large deck. Fully equipped kitchen, extra freezer, washer and dryer. House was clean and spacious! Ask for correct driving directions.
Beautiful landscaped property, We love enjoy water front, big house, we had a wonderful time as well ,great place to stay,will try again next year. but 2 bath room can't not lock :( if your home changes the wooden floor it is cleaner, the house will be perfect.
Gorgeous landscaping, views of the Sound and fall colors. The privacy and comfort of this property was more than we expected. The plumbing (only one person showering at a time w/multiple bathrooms) was a minor inconvenience but overall the place was perfect for a few days away. We even took one day just to stay at and enjoy the property instead of going out to do things because it was so inviting.
Lovely girls weekend getaway. Lovely deck for relaxing. Loved the turntable and LP selection.
Our family had a fun stay at the Tides. The deck was the center of our activity with the surrounding grounds absolutely lovely. We had total privacy to enjoy the view of the water and enjoyed using the kayak in the calm water. The caretaker Donna was terrific and responded quickly. The only problem we had was with Vacasa when they didn’t send access codes to the doors until 7;56 that evening. They came on the VRBO website at 5:00 pm. Only because Donna called me about something was I able to get the codes before 4:00. Overall we had a great time there.
Communication between property manager was great - easy check in ? once you walk in the door, the floor to ceiling windows opening up to the water view took my breath away- the most beautiful scenery!!! The property is very well landscaped very comfortable to be out on the deck or In the yard with the water and mountains right in front of you! The house was perfect for hosting my family for a reunion- large kitchen, lots of space to spread out!! The jukebox and album collection available was a really nice bonus!! Grill on deck was great- and we enjoyed the fire pit as well! Having the “little tides” guest house was PERFECT for the couple who had a 2 year old- lots of space in there!! Plus a refrigerator and private bathroom made their stay comfortable and private! The master bedroom was spacious with spectacular water view as well!’ This is exactly the spot to show off the beauty of the Pacific Northwest!! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy this home ❤️
Great Easter trip, there was an order in guest house possible due to new paint or carpet. But overall I really love this property.
