Water View Modern Home on the Bay- Hot Tub + Scenic Views
Evenings here are meant to slow down. Soak in the hot tub overlooking the bay, gather under the covered patio with the fireplace glowing and enjoy year-round outdoor living designed for rain or shine. Inside, tall windows frame peaceful water and nature views, creating a bright, open space to cook, relax and reconnect. Located along scenic WA-302 just 25 minutes from Gig Harbor, this retreat blends waterfront scenery with comfort, privacy and easy access to the best of the South Sound.
The living area offers comfortable seating and a Smart TV, while the fully equipped kitchen includes stainless appliances, generous prep space, a breakfast bar and dining for six — ideal for shared meals and game nights.
Covered Patio & Hot Tub (Guest Favorite)- The covered patio is the true heart of the home — a fully furnished outdoor living room with:
• Sectional seating • Dining table for six • Gas fireplace • TV • Grill
Built for year-round use, it’s perfect rain or shine.
Just steps away, the private hot tub overlooks the bay and changing tides — the ideal place to unwind after a day exploring Gig Harbor or nearby parks.
The large yard offers space for kids to play and room for your dog to explore (not fenced). A fire pit with seating makes evenings easy and memorable.
Sleeping Arrangements- Primary Suite: • King bed with USB nightstands • Patio access to hot tub • Smart TV • En-suite bath with double sinks & shower/tub combo
Second & Third Bedrooms: • Queen beds • USB nightstands • Shared full bathroom with shower/tub combo
Comfort Features- • Air conditioning throughout the main living area • Ceiling fans in bedrooms • Whole-house generator • Single-level layout (no stairs) • Washer & dryer • Driveway parking for up to three cars
Wildlife sightings — eagles, herons, salmon and occasional seals — are common and clear nights are perfect for stargazing.
Ideal for- A home designed around waterfront views, outdoor living and unhurried evenings. Ideal for couples, families, or friends seeking a relaxing Pacific Northwest stay with standout patio and hot tub experiences.
Other details to note- Waterfront Tides & Bay Views- The home sits on elevated, high-bank waterfront overlooking a peaceful and private saltwater bay. Large windows and the backyard lawn capture the natural beauty of this coastal setting throughout the day.
The tides shift twice daily, revealing ever-changing scenery — from shimmering water at high tide to sparkling tide flats, shoreline birds, and the gentle rhythm of coastal life when the water recedes.
While there is no direct beach access from the yard, a public shoreline trail is located just down the road for those who would like to explore closer to the water.
The natural bluff slopes toward the bay, so we recommend supervising children and pets while enjoying the outdoor spaces.
Location- While the home has a Gig Harbor address, it is located about 15 miles (approximately 25 minutes) from downtown Gig Harbor along scenic WA-302, near Allyn and Belfair.
The property sits near a two-lane roadway. Traffic is occasionally noticeable from the driveway area and one rear bedroom, though the home’s insulated concrete construction keeps interior living spaces and the backyard very quiet.
Cell Service- Cell phone reception can vary in this area. WiFi calling is recommended if supported by your provider.
Parking- Driveway parking is available for up to three vehicles. Street parking is not possible
Security- Exterior cameras monitor the driveway, portions of the yard/covered patio and the front and back of the home for safety and property protection while the home is vacant. There are no interior cameras.
Hot Tub- Use the hot tub at your own risk. Children should always be supervised.
We recommend travel insurance to protect against unexpected delays, illness, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the house, especially the kitchen and the serene views from the hot tub. Watching the wildlife in the bay is one of our favorite parts of this spot too! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re so glad we could assist quickly with any questions. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the future!
We had 6 people with us. The house was very clean, great location. Bedrooms are roomy and beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was a great bonus. Great views of Rocky Bay. Lots of eagles. Kitchen was well stocked. Living room and dining area was very open. Everyone had plenty of room.

The views from the hot tub are pretty special! I love seeing the eagles. Glad you and your family enjoyed the home. We hope you are able to come back.
External area is great, house is good, hottub worked well, no steps inside on in the entry area making it wheelchair accessible (no roll-in showers though). Not much to do around, and it's very close to the road so one of the rooms gets noisy in the morning.
House was very big and open. Yard was very large as well! Most of the time spent was in the Hot tub and bbq-ing. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook except the food.
Only complaint would be the WiFi was a little spotty. Otherwise we had a great time.
