Beachfront retreat with Mt. Rainier views

Classic, spacious 1930's beach house just 90 minutes from Seattle. Fast Wi-Fi with an office for work, and the most iconic Mr. Rainier and water views in the South Puget Sound. This is a quiet retreat from city life, though the charms of Gig Harbor are only 30 minutes away. Drive a few minutes to 3 state parks, or just stay and enjoy the beauty and peace.

The house retains its original charm and has been updated with a cozy gas fireplace, a new kitchen, quartzite counters and stainless steel appliances, fresh interiors, and a deep soaking tub. The dining and living rooms comfortably accommodate a family or group of friends, and the remodeled kitchen has all the you'll need to make great meals including pots, pans, coffee maker, colander, garlic press, dishes and utensils, toaster, rice maker, Instant Pot, blender, and basic spices and oils.

While here, you can kayak, play Badminton, roast marshmallows at the beach-side fire pit, paddle, play a round of bocce ball, or just relax. There is an eagle's nest next door and the birdlife generally is amazing, especially in the winter. A pair of seals keep an eye on the house most days, and a pair of deer often flank the bocce ball court.

Peace and Memory-Making!

What an incredibly peaceful property and home! The view is amazing (and we didn't even see Mt. Rainier during our stay due to clouds - but the view was still beyond fantastic)! The rooms were comfortable, the decor was perfect, and the home was beautiful and clean. The mix of modern and vintage (those wall sconces were wonderful) was lovely. We loved our stay! Cathy is the most attentive VRBO host I have ever had the joy of encountering (and I have had a number of terrific VRBO hosts)! She is quick to respond to messages and so incredibly helpful and thoughtful! Both her character and the character of the home are gorgeous and welcoming. We also had a great time exploring the shore and discovering all kinds of crabs and shells!We are so grateful for our time at your home, Cathy! Thank you for sharing your extremely special, peaceful place with us!

Perfect little lake getaway

What a peaceful and serene spot to relax! We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and in the living room just absorbing the beauty around us. Kitchen was well stocked and great for cooking family meals. I took my grandparents with me, and there's a bedroom and (not ADA) bathroom on the first floor which was convenient for them. The rooms upstairs were comfortable and lovely! I couldn't spot a heater upstairs, in case you run cold, but the living room fireplace was very nice on cooler evenings.

Extraordinary house in a quiet, serene setting

This lovely home, with its incredible view and quiet setting, was the perfect fit for our family of five to enjoy a few days of spring break vacation. Spring weather in the Puget Sound is mercurial, but we got lucky with three clear, albeit chilly, days to enjoy kayaking the bay and watching seals, bald eagles, and other wildlife. We would not hesitate to return.

This is a beautiful home at a beautiful location on the water. This fit our group of 4 adults and 2 children perfectly. The house was stocked with everything we needed, and more. This house was one of our favorite rentals as we could enjoy water views from multiple rooms. I hope to be able to visit again!

Everything you need is there - if not, one call to Cathy and your needs are met, she is awesome. As we were packing up - all I think about was can I stay one more day and when can I book another stay!! Thanks Cathy - the experience was priceless, and my girlfriend was left speechless by the absolutely beautiful house! Dianne

Beautiful setting on Puget Sound

We had a wondeful time at this lovely house with simply outstanding views of southern Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier. The wildlife in the area was amazing - lots of bald eagles, seals and even otters lounging on the floating dock. Rear deck and multiple levels in the tiered backyard made for some excellent times for our family.

Exquisite

I love this Beach House; from the moment you enter you will never stop smiling and wondering how you got so lucky to find it! I make my yearly vacation plans around staying here. The property is stunning and is completely outfitted for the perfect get away-just bring yourself and everything else is provided to maximize your stay. From the linens to the kitchen no detail is overlooked - providing an exceptional luxury get away. Then you go down to the beach and there are kayaks, a fire pit, and Adirondack chairs-bring a picnic! There is so much to do. We love cooking in the fabulous kitchen, the inlet is perfect for kayaking even in the rain, and there are games to play! Cathy is responsive and genuinely wants you to have the best experience. Even though we had rainy days we NEVER left the property (except to kayak)– it’s just too beautiful😊 Thanks Cathy! All the best until next time-Dianne

Perfect vacation home

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Cathy’s beach house. Somehow the house is both light and airy and warm and cozy. The furnishings are gorgeous and comfortable, the layout is great for families, and the place was spotless. The deck is the perfect place to sit and watch the seals and bald eagles…and trust me, the view across the Sound to Mt. Rainier is even better in person. We enjoyed the bocce and badminton, kayaking (there are four kayaks, easily launched from the beach or the dock), and helping ourselves to the enormous oysters on our beach. Cathy has thought of everything, from setting out bocce balls to filling the firepit with wood. And we loved the cozy fireplace—push a button on the remote and you have an instant fire and heat. The only negative is that Cathy won’t sell me the house. :-) Thank you so much for the perfect family getaway!!

Peaceful, Sound, Experience

This is a historic home that has been lovingly decorated and cared for. The location is right on the water with a view of the islands in the sound and Mt. Rainier in the background. The back yard has a Bocce-ball court, flowering trees and a grassy path to the beach and dock. The kyaks are right next to the fire pit. We stayed busy with a Bocce-ball tournament, board games, reading, kayaking, jigsaw puzzles and eating at the large wood table. The bedrooms are whitewashed and the beds are comfortable with soft sheets and cozy quilts. Everything is immaculate, tastefully decorated and very well stocked! There is even a 'hidden' tiny room, next to the library, for the grandkids to discover. We will definitely be back.
