Step outside your door and enjoy direct access to a pebbly beach when you retreat to this guesthouse in Gig Harbor. Beautifully positioned on the shores of the Carr Inlet (on a property that it shares with a separate main house), this 650-square-foot home features a communal yard where you can soak in the summer sunshine, access to a gas grill and a patio table, and wonderful views of the water, the Olympic Mountains, and incredible sunsets.
What's nearby:
This property sits right alongside the beach on Carr Inlet, five miles west of downtown Gig Harbor's restaurants, shops, and charming streets. Take your kayak out on the water for a morning paddle, drive the surrounding country roads and take in the coastal scenery, 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).
