Prime Sandy Beachfront Home with Mountain Views - 5 minutes to Gig Harbor/Tacoma
A serene family beach home get-away. Ideal for several couples and an inspiring work-away option for those needing beauty and a quiet break from the city with easy access to adventure and abundant amenities. (Just minutes from downtown Gig Harbor or Tacoma. 45 minutesfrom Seattle).
This beautiful mid-century modern home is in a quiet neighborhood. The no-bank, private, sandy beach is teeming with sea-life. The place is perfect for walks, paddle-boarding, kayaking, bonfires, picnics, water play, or just relaxing. It is beautifully appointed with hardwood floors, a serene interior, and floor-to-ceiling windows that celebrate the spectacular ever-shifting seaside, mountain and marine life views.
The house features high ceilings in an open plan with kitchen, dining area, and large living room all looking out on the water. There is a completely private upstairs master bedroom & bath with a panoramic beach view and a flexible extra room, (exercise/crib room/work area). Sliding glass doors access a private balcony. (A perfect place for morning coffee) The Large main-floor bedroom includes folding wood doors with the ability to divide off an additional bedroom that can accommodate two singles or be opened up into a larger (play/work/exercise) area. The third bedroom has a private entrance. Internet and television screens are available.
If you want to use the place s a jumping-off spot for other adventures, everything is close at hand. Whether it be a shopping run, an evening at the theater or fine dining, Gig Harbor and Tacoma are minutes away. You can explore everything from narrated water tours (destinyharbortours.com), to hiking or biking a variety of area parks and open spaces, to shopping along the Gig Harbor waterfront or the boutique stores at Uptown Gig Harbor. In Tacoma, visit historic Fort Nisqually at Point Defiance, Washington History Museum, Museum of Glass or LeMay Car Museum. Book some links time at the stunning Chambers Bay, challenging Canterwood, nearby Madrona Links or numerous other area golf courses.
Or you can just settle in and relax!
Sink your toes in the sand.
Gather beach treasures.
Skip some stones.
Explore the wonder of life at low tide.
Toast marshmallows around a crackling evening bonfire.
Savor a morning seaside stroll with the Blue Heron.
Count bald eagles, otters, seals, pilot whales and orcas.
Brave the frigid waters for an early kayak trip on a pristine mirrored bay.
Grab a book and lie in the sand while you soak in welcome summer sun.
Savor a warm mug of winter cocoa blanketed in a cozy enclave on a rainy afternoon.
Watch the shifting patterns of wild waves on a blustery, grey-stormy day.
Marvel at the intensity of light, color and shadow in epic 180 degree sunsets.
(Yes. SUNSETS! Your friends will grow tired of your sunset posts....)
Indulge your creative side: play a little spinet piano, write some poetry, make some coffee, bake some cookies. Be ALIVE!
This is the magic of the Puget Sound. The Salish Sea. Welcome!
* NO EXTENDED PARTIES OR EVENTS PLEASE. This is a quiet residential neighborhood, and we're committed to keeping it that way, thank you!
** Be aware that there is a one-way toll on the Narrows Bridge on Hwy 16 crossing into Tacoma. $6 at the pay booth, or $7 using the photo-toll system. There is no toll crossing from Tacoma into Gig Harbor.

About the host
Hosted by Kyle Cruver
Our family grew up here in the 1960s. Relatives ran the historic ferry system in the early 1900s until the Narrow Bridge was built, and my father (and his father) taught in the Tacoma School District for many decades. My parents built this home by hand in the late 50s, and put a lot of love into its construction and subsequent remodel. It really is a perfect family getaway! I have fond memories of boating, paddleboarding, fishing and beach adventures through the years, so this is really a touchstone for me, family members and friends over the years.
Quaint Gig Harbor and Tacoma have sure changed since those early years, but still draw the heart and provide a celebration of natural beauty and local community. I will always consider this area home. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property
My parents built this house from the ground up in 1958, one of the early houses in the Pt Fosdick neighborhood. Sitting just 6" above high-tide mark, it provides easy access for watersports, beach walks, watching marine life (including sea lions, pilot whales, waterfowl, otter, even the occasional orca), or just hanging out in the sand. While sited in a quiet, rural setting, the Beach House is just a quick 5-minute drive to downtown Gig Harbor, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, forest trails, dog parks, shopping, theaters, museums and fine and casual dining.
What makes this property unique
With spectacular views from all over the property, the Beach House provides the perfect NW getaway experience. We provide kayaks, life jackets and accessories, all available just a few feet from the water's edge. For summer months, a community boat launch is just half mile down the beach in Wollochet Bay.
