Guest Review:
"The Bee Keeper s Cottage is simply ADORABLE, located in a beautiful backyard with private access. Has all the amenities one would need; also very comfortable for two people. Not too far to shopping center.

The Beekeeper s Cottage is a short term/vacation rental. Located beside the main home the beekeeper s cottage has friendly, happy bees to right of driveway that provide fresh honey. We have 2 sweet white small ducks that enjoy the back-yard pond/water-fall area. We also have a 12-year old black manx kitty names Gideon, and a small indoor dog named Daisy plus a sweet bunny named Newman.
In summer we have a beautiful garden and a wonderful back-yard and relaxing hammock.
The cottage is decorated in a beekeepers style, with an antique white iron bed with a new mattress. A small kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower.
This property is also ideal for traveling professionals on an out of state project, locals needing a residence while their home is under construction, traveling nurses, graduate college students, people moving into the state and looking for a place to stay while they house shop.
* Private entrance, cottage to side of main home on property
* Cottage opens to beautifully kept garden
* 1 bedroom/1 bath. 175 square feet
* Hot tub-Reserve with owner
* Kitchenette: mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, barbecue upon request
* Wi-Fi available
* Home is part of the 2018 Garden Tour!
* W/D can be arranged as well as full size fridge for those on an extended stay
* Safe neighborhood in Gig Harbor, minutes to Tacoma
This beekeeper s cottage is an easy drive to Tacoma, Bremerton, Seattle, Bellevue, Mt. Rainier and the rainforests of the Olympic Mountain range.
But first make sure you partake in everything Gig Harbor and nearby areas have to offer. After you've strolled through the quaint downtown and shopped the boutiques and antique stores take your pick from any of the great restaurants and cafes. Seafood is always on the menu.
From the ever popular Tides Tavern for casual waterfront dining to Anthony s where the views are as fabulous as the food. You won t be disappointed by the wide variety of culinary choices.
Gig Harbor is surrounded by water so you can take your pick of activities. Go whale watching with Destiny Tours, check out the History Museum to learn about Gig Harbor s nautical past, pack a picnic and head to one of the many great state parks for a day of sun and sand.
Paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops abound within blocks.
Double check the address we are on 64th Ave but Google maps sometimes send people to 86th for some unknown reason.

    Our stay at Nina’s Beekeepers Cottage

    This is a REALLY cute place. My wife who loves to garden DID NOT HELP moving stuff as she was so busy taking pictures of the property. We had a very pleasant stay here while our house was under construction nearby ….and it was one of the smarter decisions we made. Nina and her husband have much in common with us and we enjoyed being treated as family. To you both Slàinte Mhath

    This was my first time staying in a cottage VRBO. I have always been interested in thr Gig Harbor area and decided to book a reservation. The host was hospitable and the cottage had the amenities that I need for a sbort stay. I enjoyed seeing the little ducks and the other animals on the property. I will keep this property on my list should I ever be in the area again.

    Beautiful respite for the weekend

    We chose the bee keeper's cottage for our weekend landing spot during a week of college tours in the Pacific Northwest. I am so glad that I stumbled upon this spot in Gig Harbor. It was such a perfect respite for the weekend, allowing us also to easily explore the Harbor as well as drive into Seattle and take a ferry to Bainbridge Island. We adored the cottage with all of the adorable touches. Nina was the most delightful host that felt like a friend. We loved getting to know all of their furry and feathered friends on the property. The welcome package with the sweet honey touches as well as the delicious coffee and beautiful mugs made for such nice slow mornings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I intend to return with my husband in the future. I highly recommend this gem in Gig Harbor.

    Perfect Weekend Stay

    The Beekeepers Cottage was perfect for the weekend while attending my class reunion. Close enough to my events, but far away enough from the noises of being directly in town. It is comfortable with a modern cottage look and feel to it. The hot tub was a great bonus just outside the cottage and a part of their beautiful backyard garden space. The owners are wonderful people who obviously care about their guests and the accommodations they provide. Along with getting to know both Nina and Brent, I enjoyed my daily greeting with their beautiful fluffy dog and cats along with their pair of ducks. Everything was great! Thanks so much!

    Beautiful garden retreat

    Thank you Nina, for the best vacation rental experience we've had! This was our first time renting a property where the host is also in residence and we were uncertain of how it would go; it turned out to be delightfully easy! Nina made us feel completely welcomed and at home, as did her adorable menagerie of sweet animals (hi River, we miss you already!!). Having the option to relax in the gorgeous backyard/garden or make the short drive to charming downtown Gig Harbor gave us the best of both worlds. We're so glad we found Beekeeper's Cottage and can't wait to go back again.

    As soon as I started to drive down their road, I became relaxed. Upon arriving, Nina greeted me, introducing herself and showing me amenities of the property. The Beehive Cottage is adorable. Professionally decorated and with all the extras of a five star room. Like cooking appliances, dishware, bottle of wine, fresh honey, toilet paper with handfolded flowers decorating every roll. Plus a week of delicious snacks. The yard had two quiet and clean ducks. Best of all was Nina and River's, her dog, mien of friendliness which greeted me every time I saw them. I travel alot, and the Beehive Cottage is the best place I have stayed at.
