About this property

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.

Serene views and comfy stay!

This place was perfect for our sister reunion! The house is lovely with many spots to be social as well as sneak away and read a book. The view was my favorite, I couldn't get enough! It was the perfect place, we didn't want to leave!

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!

Our favorite place to stay

This home has the most beautiful view imaginable and the charms of a lovingly updated older home. Our group has visited several times and we will be back again. The property owner is quick to answer inquiries and we love that she shares her wonderful home.

Would love to visit again!

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!

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.

This was a top notch property. Full of ambiance. Beautiful inside and out. Quaint cape cod completely renovated but keeping the charm of the 1939 structure. Everything you see posted in the pictures is right on. Our family thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of our stay.

Lovely home with a stunning view...

What a lovely, tastefully appointed home that has been updated, keeping it's period charm. And that VIEW is jaw-droppingly breathtaking.

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.

Absolutely wonderful!

I stayed with my family and parents at this magnificent home that just blew us away with the setting, the views, the wildlife and the comfort and decor of the home. We felt so so lucky to be there and spent the week talking about the changing tides, admiring our surroundings and playing in the water. It felt like we were staying in the home of a friend, not a rental and Cathy is so generous to open her cozy welcoming space to strangers like us. Can’t WAIT to come back!!

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.

I am in love with this property! I can't wait to return. The attention to detail at the Beach House is above and beyond. 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

Amazing and Peaceful Stay

Our experience at Cathy’s house was beyond expectations. Not only was Cathy such a great and responsive host, but we got to the house with all the instructions and the perception as described on the house details. Little did we know that it would surpass our expectations. The house is super clean and beautiful. The views are out of this world, even on a cloudy day, and just the vibe of being around nature and birds chirping gets anyone in a great mood. I will definitely be back here in the fall and until then, i will remember the memories and think of some great times we had this weekend!
