Charming Puget Sound/Mt Rainier View House

After nearly 3 years off the market, we are back to short term, just for you!! Sea Cliff Estates is just 3.7 miles from the heart of Gig Harbor with its restaurants & water front shops, and only 15 minutes from the Narrows Bridge. The 180 degree water and Mt. Rainier views are spectacular from your living room and outdoor deck - it is simply breathtaking!!

Welcome home to this spectacular 1,940' view home in an amazing setting with picturesque views of glorious Mt. Rainier, Vashon Island, Colvos Passage, Pt. Ruston, Commencement Bay, and ever-changing marine traffic, and wildlife views. There are numerous detailed upgrades to this special home, including granite counter tops, stainless kitchen appliances, Xfinity's 400 Mpbs whole home Wi-Fi, and an open-concept floor plan with great room and vaulted ceilings. A new 70" smart flat screen TV was added in 2024 as well as new reclining theater seating. The wrap around deck and entry stairs were also completely replaced with TimberTech decking for a cleaner look and feel.
The master BR w/King Bed en-suite Jacuzzi tub are located on the main level as well as a guest 1/2 bath and utility room w/washer and dryer. Downstairs you will enjoy a Queen bedroom, and a bunk bed room separated by a full bath. This area has its own entry from outside with its own mini living room that can also sleep additional guests.

A great location just 3.7 miles from downtown Gig Harbor and the Borgen Blvd. shopping and dining conveniences.

Your Hosts have tried to think of everything necessary in an effort to exceed your expectations from top of the line beds, linens, towels, and comforters to paper products, soaps and shampoos, all leading up to our property being designated as a "Plus" property by another hosting platform. Your choice of a keyless entry or a guided tour of the premises upon arrival by our daughter, Paige, a local property owner/Realtor that will also act as your real estate agent should you consider purchasing your own Gig Harbor investment property, as we did!

We look forward to meeting you and your family and will not disappoint you no matter what the contingency might be. Please feel free to call or write with any questions you may have with suitability issues and/or questions pertaining to a specific event or group size.

Thank you. We can't wait to meet you!!

Hosts, Carl & Vicki

Excellent place to stay in Gig Harbor!
We stayed at the property for two weeks. The owner, Carl, was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had during the stay. The house was very clean and well equipped and the grounds were well maintained. The view of Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier was absolutely amazing! When we are in Gig Harbor again, we will definitely plan to stay at this property.

Fantastic home! Great Xmas vacation and amazing views
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.

Great veiw!
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.

Clean property, very spacious and AMAZING view!
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.

The comfort of home with a million dollar view!
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.

Great views at a great place
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!

Perfect for a Family Vacation
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.

Amazing Location
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!!

An amazing value!
What an unexpected surprise! We had the opportunity to stay here on a getaway weekend. We’re researching the area to possibly relocate. After a long 3 days of driving around the pacific north west, staying the night here was a welcomed refresher. Once we arrived we changed our dinner plans to stay-in and eat rather than dine out due to the comforts of the home partnered with the amazing view of Mt Rainer and the Sound. The overall 5 star rating is given for many reasons: hospitality and communication with owners, accurate description and photos of the location, short drive to harbor, beach access within walking distance, spectacular views from main living area and deck, cleanliness, adorable and well stocked furnishings. The owners have gone above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Located inside the home is information at your fingertips on anything you like to know with regards to the home and what’s to offer in the vicinity. It’s a beautiful place to visit anytime of the year. We look forward to our next visit and would recommend this home to anyone whose looking to plan a trip to Gig Harbor.

Great experience
Our family had a wonderful time staying in this lovely home on the water. We like to cook so very much appreciated the quality cookware and the sufficient amount of dinnerware. The beds and living room furniture were very comfortable The views were great! The owner was very quick to respond when I had a few questions. We would definitely stay here again! Marg
