Make yourself at home at this darling home in a prime location south facing on Hale Passage with close-in access to shopping and freeways! This charming cottage boasts vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, hardwood floors, and easy access to a lovely bulkhead with a boathouse, firepit, picnic table, and a beach cabana.

The living room has wall-to-wall windows that let you admire marvelous views of Mt. Rainier, Fox Island, and Hale Passage's sparkling waters. It's complete with comfortable furniture, partial A/C, and a telescope so you can admire the views from a closer look. This area opens onto a large waterside deck with two beach chairs, an outdoor dining area, a hammock, Adirondack chairs, and a gas grill–just the perfect setting for barbecues. There is a short path and a flight of stairs from the deck down to the bulkhead and pristine pebble beach.

Back inside, the wood-burning fireplace between the living area and the kitchen will keep you all nice and warm during those cold months. Make sure to stock up on groceries and your favorite snacks before your trip! The kitchen comes fully equipped with all the appliances needed to whip up tasty and cost-saving meals for your guests. This retreat offers one comfortable bedroom, a full bath with a walk-in shower, and a convenient laundry room with a washer/dryer combo.

What a View!
Gig Harbor is just beautiful. The house was lovely. We were 2 older, senior couples, old friends, meeting up to visit for a few days. We were all comfortable. Had a wonderful time visiting the area.

Fabulous rustic cabin hideaway!
Cozy beachfront cottage - well appointed kitchen. Great for sitting and watching the ripples, enjoying wood burning fires each chilly evening and morning! Wonderful spot to step back from busy weeks and outside demands. Gotta come back!

Great location for a quiet relaxing stay. The cabin is very private even with the neighbors next door. Gig Harbor was close and fun to visit. We came to do nothing and that’s what we did.

Great time in Gig Harbor
The cabin was clean and contained a variety of items to make a stay comfortable. The location was beautiful, quiet and within short distance of stores, restaurants and activities. We observed seals and birds and even got to see Mt. Rainier. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our time at the cabin and Gig Harbor.

Gig Harbor cabin
Our stay at the cabin was most enjoyable. We were happy to know that the main room was larger than expected. There was plenty of towels, soap, etc. for our needs. The view was spectacular. I would recommend a little more attention being paid to removing dog hair from the furniture and floor. Also, you might want to include short instructions on using the fireplace, since can collect in the cabin unless windows/doors are open. In case you’re wondering, the flue was indeed open. Getting the baseboard heating to work was a bit odd. Overall, we very much enjoyed staying at the cabin.

Waterfront cottage
Beautiful setting and cute cottage. Enjoyed using the kayaks. Only negative was that the washer and dryer were not hooked up for use like advertised in property description. My son's clothes got wet while kayaking and it would have been nice to have use of the dryer. It also would have been nice to have use of the washer too. The rental price of this property should have been reduced due to the lack of was her and dryer.
