Romantic Private & Detatched Guest Home behind the gates of a Chateau on the Sea

Your romantic waterfront getaway awaits you in this gorgeous private guest home on one of the most impressive waterfront properties in Washington. 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. Comfy living room area perfect for unwinding and snuggling in with a good book or movie. Stunning Italian marble bathroom with double vanity, walk-in-shower and full-sized washer and dryer. Home has 2 electric based wall heating units located in the living room and bedroom and a fireplace in the living room.

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!

*this is high bank waterfront and there are no stairs down to water.

Chateau on the Sea is truly one of the best places we've ever stayed. It's stunningly beautiful. Private, yet close to restaurants and shops. The hosts were warm, friendly, and excellent communicators, ensuring that every need was met. The experience was absolutely magical, and we can't wait to go back.

Everything was perfect. We were visiting to explore the Gig Harbor area and Shannon provided a bunch of great recommendations (food, attractions, even a realtor). The guest home is excellent and we enjoyed several afternoons down by the waterfront with some wine. The weather was beautiful and Shannon and Lorne were terrific!

We just completed a 3 day stay and were delighted about every aspect of the place. The warm message and bottle of wine to greet us, the charming decor, the beautifully appointed rooms and the exquisite gardens made it a perfect 10 VRBO experience. Shannon and Lorne have graciously opened part of their lovely home and gardens and we are thankful for that!
