Prime Sandy Beachfront Home with Mountain Views - 5 minutes to Gig Harbor/Tacoma

A serene family beach home get-away. Ideal for several couples and an inspiring work-away option for those needing beauty and a quiet break from the city with easy access to adventure and abundant amenities. (Just minutes from downtown Gig Harbor or Tacoma. 45 minutesfrom Seattle).
This beautiful mid-century modern home is in a quiet neighborhood. The no-bank, private, sandy beach is teeming with sea-life. The place is perfect for walks, paddle-boarding, kayaking, bonfires, picnics, water play, or just relaxing. It is beautifully appointed with hardwood floors, a serene interior, and floor-to-ceiling windows that celebrate the spectacular ever-shifting seaside, mountain and marine life views.

The house features high ceilings in an open plan with kitchen, dining area, and large living room all looking out on the water. There is a completely private upstairs master bedroom & bath with a panoramic beach view and a flexible extra room, (exercise/crib room/work area). Sliding glass doors access a private balcony. (A perfect place for morning coffee) The Large main-floor bedroom includes folding wood doors with the ability to divide off an additional bedroom that can accommodate two singles or be opened up into a larger (play/work/exercise) area. The third bedroom has a private entrance. Internet and television screens are available.

If you want to use the place s a jumping-off spot for other adventures, everything is close at hand. Whether it be a shopping run, an evening at the theater or fine dining, Gig Harbor and Tacoma are minutes away. You can explore everything from narrated water tours (destinyharbortours.com), to hiking or biking a variety of area parks and open spaces, to shopping along the Gig Harbor waterfront or the boutique stores at Uptown Gig Harbor. In Tacoma, visit historic Fort Nisqually at Point Defiance, Washington History Museum, Museum of Glass or LeMay Car Museum. Book some links time at the stunning Chambers Bay, challenging Canterwood, nearby Madrona Links or numerous other area golf courses.

Or you can just settle in and relax!
Sink your toes in the sand.
Gather beach treasures.
Skip some stones.
Explore the wonder of life at low tide.
Toast marshmallows around a crackling evening bonfire.
Savor a morning seaside stroll with the Blue Heron.
Count bald eagles, otters, seals, pilot whales and orcas.
Brave the frigid waters for an early kayak trip on a pristine mirrored bay.
Grab a book and lie in the sand while you soak in welcome summer sun.
Savor a warm mug of winter cocoa blanketed in a cozy enclave on a rainy afternoon.
Watch the shifting patterns of wild waves on a blustery, grey-stormy day.
Marvel at the intensity of light, color and shadow in epic 180 degree sunsets.
(Yes. SUNSETS! Your friends will grow tired of your sunset posts....)
Indulge your creative side: play a little spinet piano, write some poetry, make some coffee, bake some cookies. Be ALIVE!
This is the magic of the Puget Sound. The Salish Sea. Welcome!

* NO EXTENDED PARTIES OR EVENTS PLEASE. This is a quiet residential neighborhood, and we're committed to keeping it that way, thank you!

** Be aware that there is a one-way toll on the Narrows Bridge on Hwy 16 crossing into Tacoma. $6 at the pay booth, or $7 using the photo-toll system. There is no toll crossing from Tacoma into Gig Harbor.

Lovely Location
Stunning setting for this unique home with lots of windows in a quiet neighborhood. The view is amazing! Spacious master bedroom, compact bathroom, exercise room upstairs and remaining 2 full baths and bedrooms on main floor. We appreciated the BBQ, kayaks and laundry. Linens were clean and tidy, however floors, etc needed cleaning. Owner was friendly and graciously allowed a later check out.

Spent the Week Reliving our Childhoods
We brought the grandkids, daughter and husband, and my Aunt and Uncle. Caught up with family, cross-country coach, and high school running partner. Threw a lot of rocks in the water. Would dearly love to vacation at one of the host's properties in the area next summer.

Wonderful Resort-Like Getaway
The property is as described and is a wonderful spot on the water for relaxing and water sports. We had a family gathering with two families, including a 4 year old, and the place was perfect. Spaces for privacy, but lots of gathering spots. We loved the fires on the beach! You can’t go wrong renting this place.

Best rental ever!
We try to come to the Gig Harbor area every July if possible, and this is our favorite rental so far. Well stocked with amenities, lots of kayaks etc for the water, a great kitchen and pantry with basics and more. Extra touches like the offer of sheets for a mid week refresher and s'mores supplies were also much appreciated. I’d give this place ten star if that was an option.

Amazing getaway with gorgeous views
Our family gathered--our adult kids with their 4 year old and almost 2 year old, my elderly mom and us for a few relaxing days together. This was a fabulous home. Comfortable beds, functional kitchen, mostly main floor bedrooms (handy for my mom and the kids), lovely upstairs bedroom, large table to eat at, and the best of all, great backyard and beach access. We had perfect weather and spent most of our time on the beach. Kids loved digging with shovels and sand buckets and exploring, adn we kayaked as well. Didn't get any fish while fishing but enjoyed it anyway. Beautiful sunsets. Easy access into town for groceries and restaurants. Had a wonderful time! Would love to come back again.

Great location and of course we had the best Weather!! It was nice being so close to all the stores and restaurants. You equipped the home with everything anyone would need. Our one complaint would be the cleaniness especially upstairs, I would check for mold in the windows to be safe.

Beautiful Gig Harbor home
This home is right on the harbor with fantastic views. Kitchen has absolutely everything you need. Loved eating outdoors watching all the boats go by. The kayaks, paddle boards and canoe were a nice treat for our family if 6 adults and 4 children under 5. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely beachfront home near Gig Harbor
My family and I had a fabulous stay at this very comfortable and nicely appointed beachfront home. It is perfect for a family of 6, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed dining outside while watching the bald eagles and the occasional seal who liked to hang out nearby. The kayaks were a big hit with the kids, as were the s'mores which we made over the fire on the beach. All in all, a great place for a family vacation.

February Family Getaway -- complete with beach bonfire!
What a fantastic house! As someone who has lived in Gig Harbor for more than 20 years, I had no idea that such a picture-perfect beachfront rental home existed... so it turned out to be the ideal location for a quick family reunion, where everyone had plenty of space to spread out. I will be returning to this picturesque spot the next time I need a lovely locale for a gathering! Thank you, Kyle, for making it available to us :)

Enjoyed our stay…
The property is as advertised…perfect location, view of sound, quite, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, etc. Two areas of improvement would be cleanliness of the house (dust, cobwebs, and windows facing the sound needed cleaning) and the septic needed to be pumped (house had a raw sewage oder). Would have provided five stars if not for the last item.
