Wake up in your king-sized memory foam bed to golden sunrises over the Puget Sound. This guesthouse is detached from the main home and tucked away behind a gated French Chateau style estate in a quiet picturesque neighborhood. One mile from the Harbor and downtown shops, restaurants and breweries.

Guest home has a full-sized kitchen complete with everything you need to make a great cup of coffee or romantic dinner.

Meander around the meticulously kept gardens of the main home and don't forget to catch some "Morning Therapy" by watching the stunning sunrises, complete with Mount Rainier, Vashon Island and Point Defiance Views. Orca whales, harbor seals, porpoises, and bald eagles are all common visitors in this beautiful high bank waterfront backyard along Colvos Passage in the quiet community of Gig Harbor, Washington!

Gorgeous Views

This was my second stay in the past ten months. The guest house is beautiful and spacious and just an eight minute drive to Gig Harbor. But the views are the real star. If you're lucky enough to get clear weather you can spend your day gazing at Mt Rainier paired with big water views of Pudget Sound. My wife and I got lucky on this trip and had three straight days of good weather. We enjoyed most of our time outside.

Amazing Gig Harbor getaway

My son and I came stay a couple of days in Gig Harbor and were so very lucky to rent this property. One of the most amazing rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The owners were also very accommodating by offering an additional air mattress for my son. Will definitely be looking forward to staying here again if they will have us.

The most amazing stay

From the minute we entered the palatial gate, we felt like we were in a storybook. The French provincial accommodation surrounded by beautiful gardens is just the beginning. Our host Shannon and Lorne welcomed us with a tour of the gorgeous view of the Puget sound. The interior was just as amazing. We will definitely be back!!

Our stay at this incredible home was perfect. The location is close enough to town, but no traffic noise. The views across the sound were so beautiful. The owners were very attentive and the house was well stocked and it was so comfortable. This is a gem. Put this home on your must visit list!

Phenomenonal Property

The Guest House itself was spectacular. This is a one King bedroom house with a very comfortable layout through out. It truly is a perfect size for a couple. The kitchen is well supplied and there is a laundry room. The shower is awesome, and the bathroom vanity is beautiful. But most of all - The View. Whoa! We spent every glorious afternoon out back watching the boats go by on the Sound, and the small aircraft coming for landing at the Tacoma Narrows Regional Airport. And when the clouds were right - Mt Rainer was there in the background. It was magnificent!

The Chateau by the Sea was the perfect place to explore around beautiful Gig Harbor - tucked behind a gate in the guesthouse of an exclusive, waterfront property (with exquisite landscaping!), the rental was comfortable, clean, and lovely. It reminded us of Italy. Shannon was a thoughtful and friendly host with an eye for detail and extra little touches that made our stay warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!
