Great place to stay!

Stayed here for a full week. Clean and beautifully decorated. Had almost everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood and deer every morning to greet us. It was only 12 minutes from my Grandmas house on Wollochett Bay.

Perfect Charmer

Our grandparents live on the same penninsula so finding a place on the same street within walking distance didn’t seem possible until we found Jaime’s home. It allowed all of our family to be so close and helped to accommodate our infants. Jaime was even kind enough to give us some kids fever reducer for our one year old who was sick during our trip. Loved the pickle ball court and played with her son a few times. Absolutely plan on staying here again!

Overall a nice cottage.

Overall we had a nice stay. Things that could be improved include; hot plate should be replaced (old, rusty and didn't work very well), beds should be accessible from both sides, overall cleanliness needed help (cat hair, floors and dust under furniture all could be cleaner) and parking under fir trees left lost of debris on the car.

Very expensive, not attended to

Unfortunately the place was not clean. The floors had not been swept and the rugs weren't vacuumed. The front door was unlocked when I got there and some relative had left a laptop and papers on the sofa. The bed was made, but rumpled in the middle like someone had been lying there. The kitchen had no condiments except a cruet of oil. There was an opened bottle of soured milk in the refrigerator. The metal and plastic scrub pads were sitting in filth and rust. They reeked of mildew. There was a very old, rusty hot plate, an old toaster oven and a microwave. The unit is located over the owner's garage with a roll-up door that sounds like a medieval draw bridge, which is okay except between 5-6 am - when people kept leaving. The hosts need to understand that the shared rental process doesn't just take care of itself. There needs to be quality control and some attention to detail. It is in a very nice neighborhood.

Gorgeous Gig Harbor

What a hidden gem. Comfy, well equipped, private, sweet view of the Puget Sound. Host was communicative and responsive. We will most definitely be back. Thank you!
