About this property

**GRAND DEL MAR CHATEAU**

The house: Del Mar Château is a large country house nestled on a forested fresh water creek with two acres of blue sky privacy. The Château is three stories, seven bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The master suite and master bathroom are located on the first floor with french doors leading to the outside Jacuzzi/hot tub! A spacious foyer and library with fireplace greet you as you enter the Château. The great room/dining area, chef's kitchen, bathroom and laundry room and pantry complete the first floor.

The second floor has one large bathroom and four very spacious bedrooms; one with a beautiful fireplace. The third floor hosts a large bedroom and game room with game/pool table and a fourth bathroom. All rooms of the Château have spectacular territorial views.

The neighborhood: Del Mar Château is located just three minutes from downtown Gig Harbor in picturesque Crescent Valley. The Château is close to Gig Harbor's restaurants, shopping, and kayak rental. Private parking for 8 cars, the Château is off of a private driveway. Tacoma is 15 minutes away, Seattle 60 minutes.

The Garden: The spacious front porch has relaxing rocking chairs to enjoy the lawn, Douglas Firs and native northwest landscaping. The two tiered rear deck has a private covered gazebo great for entertaining with BBQ and outdoor living room seating. You'll want to enjoy the 6 person hot tub with garden views.

Spacious and Comfortable Property

For our family's annual girls' weekend, this property was terrific for our group of 7. It was great for each of us to have our own room, and we appreciated the overall spaciousness of the house. The house was equipped for all of our needs, and the host was great about responding promptly to questions when we had them. Highly recommended!

Great stay in Gig Harbor

Stayed here for the 4th of July weekend with some friends and it was an awesome stay. Plenty of space for everyone, great outdoor spaces for some grilling and lawn games, and close enough to town to go in for lunch/dinner and hang out by the water. Would absolutely stay here again!

Women away

Huge home on a large property. The size was perfect for six women who all want their own room. It has everything you need for your stay. If it was a little closer to town the location would have been perfect but that’s hard to get with lots of bedrooms. The house was clean except the master bath could use a deep cleaning of the shower. Overall it was a wonderful home and we really enjoyed our stay.

Private retreat in the forest

Absolutely beautiful place! This is a very private location in the forest. The yard was huge and we had a blast playing outdoor games. The jacuzzi was perfect for relaxing in the evening. Every room in this home is huge and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

Perfect, peaceful, spacious, quiet, well appointed home.

We stayed in this lovely property for a woman's retreat. This was perfect house and location for us. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. We loved the fireplaces and the fire pit, the super well appointed and equipped kitchen and the very comfortable beds and common areas. The house was warm even on cold evenings.

Perfect for us

Usually we rent a house when we need a place to stay but this time it turned out to be a home. With the well supplied kitchen, a play structure outside for kids, the piano in the living room and a great selection of games, we were at home once we came through the door. Sometimes it’s the little things like plenty of toilet paper, laundry and dishwasher products, lots of dishes, pots and pans, bakeware and eating utensils that make feel at home during the day. At night the large bedrooms with decent beds along with the very quiet location of this home made for good sleep for all of us. We would definitely come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Erika

Host profile image
Jay and I have been hosting guests at this vacation rental for over 7 years now. He built the home to fit our family, and then they went on to have families of their own. It was difficult to think about releasing so we began hosting other big families and groups. It has been very rewarding for us and we hope that you will come have a stay in the near future so that you can enjoy it as much as we and others have in the past.

Why they chose this property

If you're looking for a place to fit family, extended family and/or friends, groups, etc; this is it! Comfortable, quiet but close to downtown Gig Harbor, Uptown Gig Harbor, Gig Harbor North and minutes to Tacoma and Bremerton.

What makes this property unique

Our unique features include great big bedrooms that have room for your whole group to roam comfortably. Although we sit on 2 1/2 acres of prestine seclusion, we are less than 5 minutes to the town of Gig Harbor, Gig Harbor North, Olalla and the beaches.
