Lovely Beachfront House
We were in Gig Harbor for a wedding and decided to find a place on the water. Our stay at Captain's House was perfect in every way. It was super comfortable, clean, well equipped and even comes with the use of several kayaks. Favorite memories: Sunsets, sea life, meals on the deck and morning polar bear dunks. The host has thoughtfully put together a binder with the history of Captain's House, descriptions of local flora and fauna, restaurant recommendations, etc. Very interesting and helpful. P.S. I would not recommend to anyone with mobility issues (entryway) or young children (wire railing on deck is very loose). Otherwise, I highly recommend.

History, location, and glorious views!
A terrific base from which to explore Gig Harbor/Tacoma/Seattle. We thoroughly enjoyed the location and loved watching the ever-changing tides and seascape. At high tide, you feel like you're on a ship! At low tide, you can walk the stoney beach and make discoveries. We saw eagles, seals, deer, herons, geoducks, and much more. I love the history of the property; it was the Cromwell Ferry Ticket Booth! Thank you for the lovely getaway. The canoeing was divine! My only caveat, as described, is that there are steep stairs down to house and a spiral staircase inside, which can be difficult for toddlers or those with bad knees!

This is a Magical Place
This property is a spotless and beautifully appointed cottage on the water. At high tide the deck hangs out over the water! We had a great "Girls Weekend" here. The hosts could not have been more gracious with personal touches and responsiveness. We enjoyed wildlife sightings, paddling the kayaks, and watching the continuous shoreline changes with the tide. We were blessed with great weather and spent a good amount of time on the deck when we weren't exploring Gig Harbor and vicinity.

Amazing trip to the PNW
We are a family of 5; kids are 17,13,11. When we planned this trip, we planned to have a solid home base with beautiful views with intentions on traveling all around the area every day. Well, we had the beautiful views, and then we loved it so much, we dedicated 2 full days just hanging at the house, taking the kayaks and paddle board out, and just relaxing. The home is absolutely perfect if you are seeking some time away with your family to unwind and relax. The kids could not get enough of taking the kayaks out to find the porpoises that were ever present, and multiple times were visited by them as they surfaced right near their kayaks. The daily visit from the sea otter and bald eagle was amazing as well. The home itself is exceptionally clean and well appointed. The host (the actual owner) was very attentive and available. She even offered her EV charging for our Tesla, which significantly reduced charging logistic complexity to enable our adventures. Highly, highly recommend!

Beautiful House with Incredible Views
This was a fantastic place to stay. The house is spotless, beautiful, and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The views were incredible. We loved the set up with the two different levels and two decks and loved being right on the water. The hosts were great and even went out of the way to notify us about a pod of orcas in the area, so we could watch for them. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying here.

What a view
This location is superb, right on the water and you can see forever when the sun is out. The owner did not have us on her calendar for arriving on the day we did so the house looked like a quick dusting etc was needed. The house was cold for the first night because she was not expecting us, but after that was good. The owner was there whenever we had a question or concern and fixed the tv reception when it went out one night. She gave us great insight into the sites of the location and her recommendations were spot on. Saw a couple of seals, sea otters, fish, lots of ducks from the back porch, and lots of deer in the area. Location was close to Gig Harbor but it felt like you were way out in the country. Would definitely stay here again.
