A Journey tucked in a quaint annex studio. Easy departure minutes from airport.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (56)
"Was a bit smaller than I anticipated:; more pictures would be helpful. But it is close to the airport and the neighborhood is safe and other than airplanes are very quiet. The property manager was very helpful and very easy to get a hold of they have put TLC into their small space adjunct to their home. My rating would be 4.5 just as a few more visual details would be good."

"We enjoyed our stay. The house is near the airport so airplane noise was significant, especially noticed in the master bedroom in the late evening and early morning. The kitchen was reasonably well stocked. There were 9 of us and it would have been nice to have a larger table that could have seated all of us. The hot tub was enjoyable. The view is lovely. Be aware that there are only two showers and one has no door as"

"Great property with an awesome view. A few things could be better mentioned, it is a lower of a duplex, no one was upstairs when we were there so no factor. You cannot reach the beach as you are basically on a cliff 30-40 ft drop, but still a nice view. Some reviews picked on the remodel...sure things could have been done better, but for a rental very nice, a few quirks with switches but nothing major. Would like a pizza pan and cutter : ) Served our purpose and we would stay again! Very secure...

"I got sent up last minute to Gig Harbor for work. Quickly learned there aren’t many hotels around. Wow was that a blessing in disguise. Found this boat and said, “yep, I’m in.” Literally the best work trip I’ve her had. The boat was roomy and comfortable. The harbor is phenomenal and beautiful. All but one afternoon there was a bald eagle flying really close by. Every morning walking out on the stern and smelling the water was awesome. To top it off the shower was hot, the bed was warm,...

"Get away from it all in a charming tiny home cabin (that doesn’t feel at all tiny). Extremely clean, well appointed, light filled, comfortable cabin - in the woods but not completely isolated. Wildlife sightings, Penrose Point State Park very close. Responsive host. Green all around. Rejuvenating. My cousin visiting from LA, and I from Portland, LOVED our stay! Highly recommend!"
