Family Gathering for Wedding

  • Submitted: Jul 29, 2011
  • Stayed: Jul 2011
We had a wonderful time at this home, it was quite and the view was very calming as we were preparing for our daughters wedding and had lots of room for our family. Pat was awesome and easy to work with from the start to the finish of our stay. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to feel like they are at home. I am in the hospitality business and this was one of my best experiences. We will always rent a home instead of hotel rooms when we have a family gathering. Gig Harbor is beautiful and everything you need is very close. Thank you Pat for a wonderful stay in a beautiful home.

Fabulous Home with Stunning View

  • Submitted: Dec 28, 2010
  • Stayed: Oct 2010
We rented this vacation home for the Oct. 8th Parents' Weekend at UPS. Pat met us at the house and walked us through all the wonderful amenities. The house is fully stocked and the linens were very cozy!
We hosted a BBQ for our son and his friends along with their families. The house is perfectly set up for a large gathering. Costco and Albertsons are close by in an upscale shopping area near the home. The highlight of the stay was the hot tub on the patio with a view of the harbor. We highly recommend this vacation property and look forward to future visits.

Working Getaway

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 8, 2010
  • Stayed: Sep 2009
I found this property through a search of vacation homes in the Gig Harbor area to house a group of co-workers for a working weekend. In the past, we had stayed at a local hotel which proved expensive and did nothing for the casual evening banter that we enjoy after working as instructors a local fire department training event. Pat, the owner, was available throughout the weekend to answer any questions about the property and the house was absolutely perfect. Plenty of parking for our group of six and plenty of sleeping options for all. The living room, back deck area, and kitchen was the perfect gathering spot and there was more than enough seating even for additional visitors. Thank you Pat, we will be back again next year.

This house is fantastic and exactly as described. We
chose this house initially for the view ( which is
superb). What we found when we arrived was that
as well as a spectacular view, the house was
superb. It had everything we could possibly have
wanted from great decor to comfortable furnishings
and a plethora of cooking utensils.
Allied to this there is the friendly owner Pat. She
was there to give us a guided tour when we arrived
and was always on hand should we have any
questions about the house or the surrounding area.
Her tips proved invaluable.
We had a wonderful time and hope to be back
again.
Thanks for everything Pat

Great place to enjoy Gig Harbor!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 30, 2009
  • Stayed: Jun 2009
Our family greatly enjoyed this vacation home. The kids loved the hot tub, the games provided, and the cool ladder up to their loft. The owner was very helpful. The view of the water from the back yard is beautiful. This house is unique and truly a home, not a sterile hotel room. With Costco, target and Albertson's within 10 minutes, it was easy to make meals here. There are lots of one and two step levels in the home, so would not be an easy place for a crawling baby or unsteady toddler, but our youngest was 5 and she loved it.
We would definitely recommend this home!
