We loved this place so much we didn’t want to leave! Amenities were over the top and view is incredible. Loved being able to walk everywhere, with so many great restaurants, breweries and shops to explore. Nothing like sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee in the morning listening to the birds and watching all the boats/rowers. House is beautifully appointed. We will be back!!!

Oh my gosh! This stay in downtown Gig Harbor was delightful. The cleanliness of this VRBO was exceptional! We loved the view of the water and enjoyed watching the boats and people come and go. We thought it might be loud being next to the boatyard but it wasn't at all. It was neat to get to watch them move boats from the water up to where they worked on them. The walkability here was perfection... We could stroll to different places to grab a bite to eat/drink. We always visit Tides Tavern for their fish and chips (3 pc halibut) and beer (Tides Long A** Day double IPA) so the ease of which we could do this almost too easy! Lol. Also, we emailed and asked for a refill on propane for the heater and fire table and it turns out that they'd already made sure it was done before we arrived, but there was an issue with the patio heater and we just didn't know what we were doing with the fire table! It was all taken care of quickly and easily and we were able to enjoy the windless mild weather a couple of evenings. We loved staying here -- it was fantastic and we'll be sure to return!

Wonderful Gig Harbor Getaway

This was our 2nd stay here over Christmas and we had a blast! We love being able to walk the Harbor for exercise and to eat/drink/be merry. The property is spotless, with stunning views and everything you'd need. Cheryl is awesome. We'll be back for sure.

Perfection

This has become our annual go to vacation. In the heart of Gig Harbor Washington and right on the marina. The apartment is spacious, clean and the beds are incredibly comfortable. You can park and walk everywhere. Or you can sit on the deck and watch boats all day. The furnishings and decor are updated and stylish. Thank you to our host for another wonderful stay!

Fantastic Gig Harbor Rental

This rental is worth every penny! Nestled in the middle of Gig Harbor, we were able to walk pretty much everywhere. The home had everything we needed, including fantastic views of the Gig Harbor Christmas Tree, some paddleboarding Santas, and we even got a dusting of snow! The house itself was spotless and obviously cared for with love. The owners were easy to communicate with and accommodating. We will be back.

A dream come true

I could not have imagined a more perfect location to stay the night before my wedding with my bridesmaids, or the night of my wedding with my husband. The suite blew me away, far exceeding our expectations! It was HUGE. There was more than enough room for 4 girls to sleep and 8 to get ready, plus two makeup artists and two hair stylists. The fully stocked house (excluding food of course) made the stay a breeze. There wasn’t a single thing we needed that wasn’t there. It was perfect!! We can’t wait to come back one day and stay for a vacation, and neither can much of our family who only learned about Gig Harbor due to our wedding, and were in awe by the suite, venue, view and incredible customer service. I fear this review doesn’t do our stay justice. I’d recommend staying here to anyone I’ve ever met.

Trolly on the property has wonderful food and snacks. We had wonderful weather and was able to enjoy watching the marina. Would have been wonderful even if it rained because of the large windows. Appreciated not having neighbors even though we are seniors. Listening to the water was magical and enjoyable. Place is larger than appears in the photos. Great place and hopefully we will return. Thank you for an enjoyable escape.

The Guest House at the Marina and Boatyard is a fabulous vacation spot. The house had everything we could possibly want. The decor was very inviting and the deck was a great place to watch boats coming and going as well as the activity at the boatyard. Tuesdays and Thursdays brought concerts and a farmers’ market right next door at the Skansie Brothers Park. So much fun. This is a 10 destination. Highly recommend.

Friends Reconnection

We met together in Gig Harbor and enjoyed all aspects of the home, from cleanliness, to the location in town and the view was amazing. We enjoyed at least 5 different restaurants and easily completed breakfast in the unit as we planned our day. Thank you for Danielle for her prompt responses to any questions. One note there is not a DVD so if you were to bring movies it did not seem available. We would highly recommend this location. Thank you.
