Photos and Description of the Gig Harbor vacation cottage rental
Beach House - 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s) - 1 Bath - (Sleeps 4-6)

Waterfront Beach House (850 square feet with a full kitchen and a huge deck) with magnificent views of Mt. Rainier to the South and the Olympic Mountains to the North. Have a fire on the beach (158 feet of low bank waterfront) and play on the sandy beach. Bring your boat, the crabbing is great! Launch it from the private, concrete boat ramp and tie it up to the buoy. Bring your tennis shoes (we supply racquets and balls) and play tennis on the all-weather court. A croquet set is available to enjoy on the lawn by the beach.

Fox Island Details: Fox Island is accessible by bridge (NOT ferry) from Gig Harbor and Tacoma, WA.

Gig Harbor Details: Gig Harbor, 'the Maritime City,' is still a commercial fishing village. It has restaurants, shops, galleries, and recreation just 10 miles from the Beach House.

Boating Details: There is a boat ramp on the property where you can launch your boat and tie it up to the buoy out front. You can rent boats in Gig Harbor and Tacoma.

Hiking/Walking Details: you can walk the beach a mile in each direction when the tide is out. There are many in-land walking trails nearby.

We found our annual meeting place

5 of 5
Submitted: July 18, 2008 Stayed: June 2008
The beach house was the perfect place for two friends (one from Seattle, one from Ireland) to meet and catch-up on each other's lives. We took advantage of the bbq and shared a bottle of wine on the very private deck looking at our gorgeous 180 degree view of the Puget Sound. The kitchen is well stocked with all the items you need and the bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in! Inez and I look forward to re-connecting at the Beach House for many more years! Thank you Bill and Sue for creating and sharing a beautiful place. Jill (Seattle) and Inez (Dublin, Ireland)

Refreshing Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: April 17, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
When I visit, I feel like I've gotten away from everything; I feel at peace. The 180-degree view of the water from the deck and from the large windows inside the beach house are exhilarating and inspiring. Sitting out on the deck listening to the lapping of the water is relaxing; when the tide comes in, I feel like I'm actually out on the water. I love walking along the beach when the tide is out. I bring my own groceries, cook in the kitchen, which is well-stocked with cooking utensils and condiments. The deck has a table and chairs, and I love to eat out there. There is also table and chairs by the window inside so you can eat inside as well while still enjoying the gorgeous view. The owner is friendly and very helpful in answering questions. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative; this is currently my favorite vacationing spot.

Wonderful Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: October 29, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
We are relocating and leaving the Pacific Northwest so we wanted a memorable final week. Even with the rain we were not disappointed. The house is great, the view is spectacular, the wildlife was a nice surprise and we were close to many attractions. There were plenty of books and movies when the rain came. Even though it was October we had really nice days too. It was a very nice stay and we would return if in the area again.

Great Place to Stay!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 18, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
My husband and I spent two weeks here and had a fantastic time! The listing was 100% accurate, but I have to say that nothing will prepare you for the breathtaking view! We come to this area every year and this house by far has the best view (not to mention the best outdoor area) of any of the properties we have rented. This house is the perfect place to stay to explore all the nearby towns and cities that are just a short drive away (Seattle, Gig Harbor, etc). Bill and Sue are wonderful hosts, and made sure we had everything we needed. The house itself was spotless and the movie / book selection was a nice surprise. I would definitely recommend this wonderful vacation home to anyone looking to relax.

Excellent in every way

5 of 5
Submitted: December 16, 2010 Stayed: December 2010
My husband, daughter, grandson and I stayed at The Beach House on Fox Island for 4 nights during the worst weather the area had seen in 40 years and despite this we can only say what a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and above all peaceful. Bill ensured we knew where to go and what to do during our stay. His knowledge of the area was a great help to us. We had to leave very early on the day of our departure (4.30am) and there was Bill ensuring we were up and ready to go. We cannot recommend Beach House too highly and look forward to visiting again.
