About this property

Your romantic waterfront getaway awaits you in this gorgeous private guest home on one of the most impressive waterfront properties in Washington. Wake up in your king-sized memory foam bed to golden sunrises over the Puget Sound. This guesthouse is detached from the main home and tucked away behind a gated French Chateau style estate in a quiet picturesque neighborhood. One mile from the Harbor and downtown shops, restaurants and breweries.

Guest home has a full-sized kitchen complete with everything you need to make a great cup of coffee or romantic dinner. Comfy living room area perfect for unwinding and snuggling in with a good book or movie. Stunning Italian marble bathroom with double vanity, walk-in-shower and full-sized washer and dryer. Home has 2 electric based wall heating units located in the living room and bedroom and a fireplace in the living room.

Meander around the meticulously kept gardens of the main home and don't forget to catch some "Morning Therapy" by watching the stunning sunrises, complete with Mount Rainier, Vashon Island and Point Defiance Views. Orca whales, harbor seals, porpoises, and bald eagles are all common visitors in this beautiful high bank waterfront backyard along Colvos Passage in the quiet community of Gig Harbor, Washington!

About the host

Hosted by Shannon

Hello! I am Shannon, your primary host, along with my husband Lorne. We were on vacation and in this very backyard on a garden tour when we decided that Gig Harbor was where we wanted to live. Little did we know, this would be the exact home we would move into 3 years later (by many twists of fate). It is our absolute pleasure to have this opportunity to share Gig Harbor with you by renting our guest home. Although we respect your privacy, please don’t hesitate to say hello or let us know if you’d like to meet up. We have enjoyed getting to know our many of our guests, it's why we do this!

Why they chose this property

The guest home was built with all the high end finishes you would expect to see in any luxury home and the location is second to none. The property is so much more than a place, it's an experience.

What makes this property unique

We take a genuine interest in people from all walks of life. It is our mission to provide a safe space for people to stay and experience a moment in time they will remember and want to repeat. We take pride in our exceptional service and ability to think of every little thing. The Chateau by the Sea is just the place to fall in love again and reconnect.
