Well appointed beautiful home located along the bay. The home has many amenities that make your stay comfortable and the harbor offers incredible views. While there, we spotted a seal playing! We appreciated how close it was to a store and early morning coffee shop - with jet lag and a wedding to attend there was little time in the beginning to find what we needed through exploring.
I stayed here with my friends and family over the holiday weekend and we had a great time! Perfect location and great for all age groups. You also have everything you need within walking distance! The hosts are very kind and accommodating and respond right away. We will for sure be back!
We very much enjoyed our stay here. Being right on the water was lovely! Saw lots of wildlife out there. The property was tidy and spacious! Suited us just fine. The unique thing about this property is that it is tucked behind a local market where you can get produce and the market across the way has everything else for staple snacks and supplies. We also had easy access to hiking trails. The bridge did not bother me and could barely hear it from inside! I was also able to communicate with the owner easily about any questions that came up. They were very responsive!I would definitely consider booking here again.
We enjoyed our stay. It was very convenient being next to the marked and close to all the destinations we required. It was also nice to be able to beach comb and relax in the evening by the water. The host was quick to respond with questions.

Lovely backyard
We really enjoyed the backyard and access to the water.
Perfect location for all local events and the property managers were so accommodating and prompt. The view is wonderful as is the sitting room and beds. Slept great! Will come again.
We had an absolute blast. Love the access to the beach. Parts of the beach house could use replacing or updating (I.e bathtub/ shower) but overall we had a great time and would come back again!
The host was very helpful. The property is right on the water. It’s a beautiful location right near the bridge. We used the kayaks and had a great time. I would recommend this VRBO.
Was a great escape from everyday life!! Right on the water. The property was better than the description! Clean, spacious inside and out! I’ll definitely be reaching out to stay here again!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and conveniently located. At the beach we saw all kinds of marine life. Starfish, crabs,ssea lions and other interesting shells. The host was friendly and always available. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation for my family and I. We will return someday.
The house had a very convenient market nearby. Our group really enjoyed the firepit and privacy the house provided. They had ample towels for everyone to use, the beds were comfortable, and everything was clean.
The home is decorated so nicely and the backyard view is amazing. The beds were really comfortable and the space was easy to be in, and we were a big group. The boys (adults) enjoyed having a fire in the firepit and watching the water! Kitchen is well supplied for cooking and dining. Need to bring your own spices/oil and shampoo.
This is an older home that appears to have been expanded. The kitchen is decent, the bedrooms are large, the bathrooms are old but functional. The back yard is very pleasant with a view of the Purdy bridge. The home is located behind a bar but we did not detect a noise or parking issue. The location is only 5-6 minutes to Albertsons/Costco/Target.
We’ve stayed here twice a couple of years apart in the summer, and have loved our time here. For our second stay, we looked around at many properties in the area, and you won’t find a better location for a family in the price range. We wake up in the morning and kayak with the two kayaks provided for use while the tide is high and calm, and again in the evening as well as fish (although we didn’t catch anything). We explore the many hikes and restaurants in the surrounding area as well as take day trips to Point Defiance for the zoo or Olympic National Park or Poulsbo. There is so much to do in the Gig Harbor area! In the evenings, we often have a fire in the fire pit and make s’mores and watch the seals pop their heads up and see crabs walking by in the water below when the tide is high. If you live in a city and are used to some noise, the noise of the bridge or shopping center behind the property won’t bother you. We love to pop over to the Local Boys market behind the home to pick up fresh produce and other necessities. We’ve Door Dashed dinner a couple of times, and had no problem with the delivery people finding the home despite the pin on the map being a little off. Our kids love staying here, and we’ve made great family memories. Pack some water shoes to take full advantage of the backyard on the shoreline.
As a homeschooling family the nature and water animals were incredible. Nightly around 6pm you’ll see the sea lions swimming and popping their heads up. Around noon we walked down to the shore and seen sooo many starfish. It was so cool and such a fun learning experience for our kiddos. Definitely family friendly. Would totally recommend to anybody needing a getaway just outside of town.
This home was the perfect destination for our family!
The house was perfectly clean and decorated, with all the basic supplies we needed.
Cathy was honestly one of the best hosts I have ever dealt with. She got back to me right away with any questions I had and even made it possible for us to check in a day early with very little notice.
The location was absolutely perfect!
Plenty of fresh food options within steps of the front door, while also somehow feeling like our own private bay.
Thank you so much for making our last summer getaway so wonderful. We look forward to many more summer getaways at your home. I only wish we could stay longer!
We were here during Thanksgiving, visiting my son and granddaughters. As such, we didn’t really spend a lot of time in the house. We were five adults, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The two bathrooms made life a lot easier. A couple of us enjoyed a morning coffee while watching the wildlife. There were eagles and an otter or two…and lots of birds. We took beach walks every morning and were enthralled with checking the tide! The house is decorated in a cute, beachy motif. Management was quick to respond to a question I had.
Previous reviews have not done this home justice, the interior is updated, very comfortable beds, spotless and clean. The owners are doing a wonderful job updating and helpful. The views and access to the beach are unique and special. Basically you have your own provate beach to watch fly fisherman in the distance, seals, eagles, and a variety of waterlife. This is a cute enclave with easy access to GH and Hw 16. Plus, Purdy Boys is nearby with the freshest fruit and a variety of healthy foods, Bridgeway Market carries some essentials and if you dont feel like cooking there is Dexters Burgers and a Thai place. Great place with a modern kitchen, (but bring your own spices/oils), and greater neighboring people.
We could not have loved it more. Everything was clean and roomy and comfy and the location is the best with cool stuff to walk to on one side and a peaceful stretch of the beach on the other. We loved it 10/10
This property is a great place to gather as a family. It is much larger than expected. We enjoyed a wonderful family dinner, football on the big screen, and a nice fire outside by the water. I would rent here again. We did have some issues getting in but were resolved quickly and the owner bent over backwards to accommodate us. Super fun and relaxing hidden gem. The young kids really enjoyed it. The view was spectacular and very relaxing.
