Captain's House- Luxury Beachfront Home. 2 Levels for group fun or privacy

Want to stay on the water? Views? Privacy? This is it! The Captains Home is an unbelievable private luxury 2 level beachfront retreat located in Gig Harbor. Front row views of Hales Passage, Fox Island, Tacoma and Point Fosdick from this 2 level home. Just 12 minutes from Tacoma Narrows Bridge, this amazing home is completely new and updated. It is the perfect location for your visit to the Pacific Northwest. Located right on the beach, you’ll feel completely separated from the world.

Sleeping/Bathing (6)

The Captains home is ideal for family, or even 2 couples traveling who want common areas and separate sleeping and kitchen areas.

Upper level comfortable Queen Bed - seating area- kitchenette- shower-restroom

The views are amazing, even from the new, super comfortable queen beds. Crack a window or your private patio door to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waterfall and gentle waves on the beach. Romantic for 2

An interior spiral staircase connects the levels. Both levels can be locked off for privacy with exterior entrances.

The lower level sleeps 4. 1 queen and 2 single bunk alcoves in same area and can be closed off from kitchen, sitting area, TV and bathroom with a huge sliding barn door for privacy. Romantic for 2-can accommodate 4.

Each level has bathroom and shower.

Eating and living.

Upper level offers granite countertop, mini fridge/freezer, coffee maker-grinder, microwave, induction cooking and all utensils. Table seats 4. 2 large sliding barn doors close off the kitchenette area, bathroom/shower from beds. Large flat screen TV with cable.

Lower level provides, full size fridge, gas stove/oven, coffee maker, microwave with bar seating for 4 at granite counter top and great seating areas.

Two huge slider doors open to a very special balcony and huge deck over the water, where you can sit and enjoy a meal or just watch the sunrise or sunset. Large lower deck seats people over the water.


Nature at its best. In the past 4 months, we have had deer, bald eagles, otters, porpoise, seals, whales, fish, and many species of birds and ducks…even a bear. Enjoy picking plump, delicious black berries during the season.

Relax in this private retreat. Admire the sights and sounds of nature or watch a complimentary Netflix movie. Complimentary WIFI provided.

Many really great restaurants, shopping, theaters, grocery, hikes, and exploring are only 10 minutes away in Uptown or Old Town Gig Harbor. Tacoma museums and attractions are 15-20 minutes, SeaTac is approximately 40 minutes and Seattle is 60 minutes.

You have a private entrance to the magical beach. Loaded with sand dollars, shells, rocks and tranquility, you can enjoy a beach fire for smores and hot dogs. (Pending the tide and seasonal restrictions). Fourth of July fireworks from your balcony are some of the best to be seen, really amazing.

When the tide is out, you can walk for a mile on the beach, exploring the sights and sounds of nature. Complimentary kayaks (2) and canoe (life jackets provided and required) are here for you to enjoy (when available).

This historical waterfront site was once a stopping point for the Steamer Arcadia, picking up local, fresh produce and passengers (including students for historical Stadium High school) to sail around the Puget Sound.

This property is truly beautiful waterfront at it’s best! We have spared no expense to make this the perfect place to stay on your get away. Complementary, for your use, Wi-Fi, Flat Screen TV, Cable, Hair Blow Dryers, Binoculars, Board Games, Robes, Slippers, Washer and Dryer, and one of the best pieces of beachfront property around.

Great views
Great views of the water throughout the property. Easy checkin. Great proximity to multiple locations - we visited Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Seattle and Olympia. It was unseasonably warm two days which made the upstairs too warm to hang out or sleep but the downstairs was comfortable with windows open and fans.

Great location with great views and wonderful layout for two couples. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property - but we were distracted by family wedding activities. Very much worth another visit.

Great weekend stay
We enjoyed a weekend at the Captain’s House. It was nice to have two separate living areas on the different floors to have together and alone time. Great location with beautiful views. The hosts were great communicators and checked in with us during our stay.

Amazing Views
This house does not disappoint. It has all the amenities and with the most breathtaking views. Sitting on the deck, relaxing and watching the marine life was top on our list. We saw seals and porpoises multiple times. The owner was so easy to communicate with and the whole process was very smooth. We cannot say enough about how wonderful this house was for our vacation.

Beautiful Place
The Captain’s House was absolutely beautiful, the location is nice, views are amazing, and the home is decorated and stocked with comfort in mind! The parking is just a tad tricky but it wasn’t the worst we have ever experienced. The home is stocked well and we had everything we needed, plus more. The beds are comfortable, plenty of linens available, and we really enjoyed the views and access to the beach. We would recommend this home to anyone who is in search of a relaxing trip to this area as it is within driving distance to Seattle and surrounding areas.

Amazing beach home
This is an amazing rental. The owner was incredibly helpful, showed my kids different types of sea life, gave us tips on the area and even called me when there were whales in the area. The house had a great layout and everything we needed. One of the previous reviews had mentioned a concern about no washer/dryer access but there is one. Just ask. They have a designated one for the unit. We are definitely going to stay here again. Thanks again Annie

Loved our stay right on the water
The photos don’t begin to convey the beautiful location and lovely accommodations. We had a fabulous stay with extended family. The separate entrances and kitchens allow social distancing if needed, with a perfect spot for gathering on the deck. We kayaked, grilled salmon, and enjoyed long evenings on the deck.
