Peaceful retreat!

The location and view was perfect enjoyed the deck and all the beautiful flowers. Dianne was great to work with and we had everything we needed for a great escape from the heat of AZ. Enjoyed the pumpkin bread as an added treat. Would highly recommend if looking for a place on the harbor.

Gorgeous views, quiet, relaxing, super clean, well maintained and stocked with everything you need. Dianne was a wonderful host, great communication, accommodating and thoughtful. Loved watching the sunset every night from the hot tub. We can't wait to return. This is by far our favorite VRBO.

5 Stars — A Real Home, Not a Cookie-Cutter Rental.Dianne’s Gig Harbor home is everything a vacation rental should be: spotless, beautifully kept, with thoughtful touches that make you feel welcome the moment you arrive. The cupboards have spices, the garden is cared for like a retreat, and the beds are truly comfortable — because she’s chosen them herself. Unlike the corporate “vanilla” rentals that feel staged and impersonal, Dianne’s place feels lived in, loved, and generously shared. It’s not just a place to stay. It’s a place to come back to.

Great views, quiet and private

Loved this place. I've stayed at Gig Harbor previously but this was right on the Harbor. We ate outside most meals. I especially enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine watching the activities on the water. I stayed there with my 3 Grandchildren and it was great as I haven't seen them for almost a year. I will be back next year! Joanne

Can’t wait to go back

This was the nicest VRBO property we’ve ever rented. The location is wonderful, the view stunning, the house warm and inviting. Spotlessly clean with thoughtful touches like fresh flowers in the bathroom, homemade pumpkin bread, coffee and wine to welcome us. The house is equipped with everything we could have ever needed. We visited with another couple to attend a small reunion of dear friends. Our homebase was a friend’s home in Gig Harbor. We would like to go back and spend a lot more time enjoying all the activities available at the house and in Gig Harbor. Thank you!

Beautiful view. Comfortable house. Great host.

This waterfront home was a great spot for hosting out of town family members, and we thoroughly enjoyed this house and it’s sensational harbor view. Our host, Dianne, is helpful and gracious and welcomed us with wine, fresh bread and a stocked pantry. The layout encourages relaxing with friends/family, perhaps after a few hours of exploration, and activity in the harbor is never-ending entertainment. The kitchen is beyond well-equipped, reading material and games aplenty are at hand, the furnishings are all comfortable and Dianne seems to have thought of just about everything. Highly recommended. (Just please don't book it when we want to come back.)

million dollar view

This is a very comfortable and cozy house perched on a hillside directly on the water with a spectacular view of the harbor and downtown across the water. Winding path down to a couple of chairs and a chiminea style firepit down by the water. Also access to a big dock with 2 kayaks and a SUP to use. Wildlife everywhere. Rabbits in the yard, deer up and down the street, Bald Eagles walking the beach at low tide, and 3 harbor seals even took over the dock one afternoon and evening to rest. Lots of deck space, but our favorite spot at night was the little side deck area; the small table top gas firepit was just enough to knock the cool off at night. Had a great time and would rent again.

This property is wonderful. The view of the harbor is beautiful both day and night. We loved sitting in the living room enjoying it. The home is very clean with comfortable beds. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need if you like to cook. There is a great hot tub and a peer on the harbor with kayaks you can use. I especially loved the sitting area off the dining area where you can sit beside a gas fire when you want to be warm outside. The home is beautifully decorated and has a warm, inviting feel. The host is easy to contact and very accommodating. This is truly one of my favorite rental experiences. Thank you, Dianne!!
