The property was wonderful! Clean and beautiful. The host was so attentive and even texted us when there were orcas to be seen from our porch! We’d definitely stay again.
The home was great-had everything we needed. My kids especially liked sleeping the cubbies. The location was beautiful and we saw a lot of wildlife in the water right off the deck. So relaxing waking up with a view of the water!

We loved having you and your family stay. You are always welcome to stay with us. Hope to see you again soon.
This is a beautiful location. We saw all kinds of marine animals during our stay. Close to plenty of stores, restaurants and activities. The sunsets and sunrises were stunning. I highly recommend staying here!!
We had an amazing stay!!! It was incredibly clean and well stocked. The owners were great at answering questions and making us feel welcome. We would stay here again without question!
We had such a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful—everything about the experience felt welcoming and easy. The house had everything we needed and more. It was the perfect balance: close enough to access Gig Harbor, but also tucked away in a peaceful and relaxing setting.One of the highlights was being able to spot whales, seals, porpoises, and even deer right from the property—absolutely magical.Thank you so much for sharing your space with us. We can’t wait to stay here again in the future!
We had a great time at the Captain’s House! Very well appointed, plenty of wildlife, great deck for watching boats and seals, comfortable beds, kitchen well stocked.

Thank you for your nice review. Hope to see you again
We enjoyed a weekend at the Captain’s House. It was nice to have two separate living areas on the different floors to have together and alone time. Great location with beautiful views. The hosts were great communicators and checked in with us during our stay.
Great location with great views and wonderful layout for two couples. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property - but we were distracted by family wedding activities. Very much worth another visit.

About the host
Hosted by Ann Jolie
My husband Dave and I were married in 2015. I am from California and Dave from Washington. We both have grown children whom we are very close to. We decided that we would need to find a way to spend our time in both states to be near to our children and now, grandkids. We now split our time between the two places which can be very exhausting but so worth it. The property we bought in Washington had two homes on it. One we live in part time and the other is your vacation spot and the place where our children and friends stay when visiting. We are very happy that you will get to enjoy this amazing place.
Why they chose this property
When we married and were house hunting we came across this old rotting house on the side of the road that had been for sale for a long time. We decided to give it a look even though it was a major fixer upper. We got out of our car and turned the corner around the back of the house and were dumbfounded by the beauty of this property. There were two homes on this waterfront lot. One home sat right on the water, so right on the water that during high tide the water is actually under a part of the house. We soon learned that this run down cabin was once home to the Cromwell Ferry Ticket Booth. The second main home sat back a little from the water and was only partially complete. The walls had rotted out and the was water in the basement. There were many issues with the property but we knew the second we walked around the corner that we had to live here. We put our gloves on and with a lot of love, vision, help, money and time we transformed this property into a dream come true. We live in the main home and the cabin is for our family, friends and of course you. We feel truly blessed to wake up every morning to seals, eagles, otters, jellyfish, sand dollars, porpoise, waves, and a view that lets you know that God is God. This is a special place, a place where you feel peace. You can walk the beach, read on the deck, eat your meals looking out over the water and just relax. We were blessed to find this spot. Close to town, easy access, waterfront at its best. Everything has been redone and is beautiful. We even put a large window in the shower so you can stare out over the water while you are in there. Our kids do not want to leave when they come visit and that is a good thing. We are excited for you to stay
