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.

Great house in GIG
We had a small family reunion and the house with its large kitchen, dining, and great room worked out so well. Outside there was plenty of space for games and seating. 10 minutes outside of town so very quite.

From the moment we stepped through the door..This gem is tucked in beautiful Gig Harbor.
What a perfect gathering spot for my family to connect. Quiet and serene location. Gorgeous forest surround the property. Home is large and spacious . Family flying in from Romania were quite impressed as well. Would definitely stay in this area again to see the sights of Seattle and surrounding islands. Erika was very accommodating! We all thank you!

Beautiful large house in wooded area
Large house, well furnished and maintained. 11 of us enjoyed our stay for a family reunion. One thing to be aware of: only 1 bathroom on 2nd floor, shared by 4 bedrooms; though there is an extra bathroom on main floor. Worked fine for us, but something to be aware of. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!

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!

The property was beautiful. It was on a private road and was stunning and peaceful, and clean.
We had a wonderful experience. We rented the house for family and groomsmen for my son's wedding. There was more than enough room. The groomsmen didn't want to share beds but there were plenty of couches and beds in the large bedrooms so no one ended up on the floor. The kitchen was large, the family room had plenty of space - it was great!!!! We also enjoyed the hot tub, bbq area, patio, and fire pit outside. The play structure looked fun too but we didn't have any little ones staying with us. The owners were more than helpful, providing sleeping bags and extra blankets for the groomsmen. They were even willing to add propane to the bbq if we ran out. We are hoping to return for a family reunion next year. I would highly recommend this rental. Everything was perfect, even better than the photos! I would rate 10 stars if I could. :) Thank you so much! Sincerely, Dave & Donna

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.

Large house worked for multi-generation family vacation
The "Del Mar Chateau" consisted of many very large rooms with lots of futons and couches in each room. Tons of games are in most rooms, including parts of many video game consoles (didn't get a chance to try them out), and even a box of Duplos and other kid toys, which the littles loved. The space fit our 3-generation family well. We had a broken shower head, and someone came to fix it the next day. The AC worked great on the 1st and 2nd floors in the hot summer; the 3rd story was really hot, (even with the AC running and the fan they brought for us), but if you stay in the fall or spring, you should be okay. The outdoor space was great, with the gazebo (fan didn’t work), porch, play structure, and field. We weren't able to use the hot-tub, because the breaker kept tripping so it wasn't hot whenever we wanted to use it and water smelled bad. The kitchen was stocked with tons of stuff (although disorganized, a lot of expired pantry items, and non-stick pans were in rough shape). Our family really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and having space for all our family members.
