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.

Perfect getaway on the waterfront
Despite a couple quirks this property is absolutely gorgeous and what a location!! The view and beachfront is spectacular, visits by local seals were a highlight! The hosts were super responsive and made the the place feel like home when we arrived with fresh cut flowers from their gardens! A great place to launch from!!

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.

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.

This is my second time booking this home. I came back because we had such a lovely time in November. The seasons are beautiful on this beach front home. Rooms give privacy and kitchen and dinning room allow ample space to gather and chat while cooking together.

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.

We had a wonderful time at this property! It is right on the water and has kayaks and paddles boards for the guests. We made a bonfire at night and had S'mores provided by Kyle the host. The house is spacious and has a classic mid-century feel that we loved. Kyle was great and quick to respond to any request. Great place to relax and enjoy the water!

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 :)

Kyle was a fantastic host! Everything we could have possibly needed was available to us. He even made sure we had s’mores for the kiddos built us a fire before we arrived and dropped off a homemade pie and ice cream for us to enjoy! House was clean and the location was great! I honestly can’t even put into words how accommodating Kyle was! Hands down one of the best stays we’ve ever had and we will be returning to this home the next time we are in town to visit family.

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.

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.
