Wow! The owner furnished this home with all the extra little things that made a very special place feel so welcoming! The property is better than described. Views are amazing. Outside fire pit, grill, large wrap around deck, new patio furniture. Then inside high quality finishes. The kitchen has all the things you would want - even an Instapot! Checkin in was simple. Love this place!! Great location too.

What a wonderful, relaxing stay in the most beautiful location. Laurie was so sweet with reaching out and nice touches and snacks for a comfortable stay. We loved using the kayaks and paddle boards and the home provided plenty of space for our family of 5. We can’t wait to return again someday!

Beautiful location on the beach, stocked very well from games to throw blankets to kitchen ware and pantry. Spacious and open - enough beds/bedrooms for 4 adults and 2 or 3 kids. Several outdoor areas up & downstairs to enjoy the beach view, all with different seating & vibes. Easy access from the Seattle area, and easy drive to Gig Harbor for a visit or Southworth for the ferry.

Perfect for a family vacation

This is a lovely home perfect for a family vacation. It is situated right on the water with easy access for kayaking and paddleboarding. We loved the decks, both up and down, with seating to view all the wildlife activity and a firepit table for entertaining. Close to Gig Harbor and the ferries to Seattle and north, we were able to explore this beautiful are area of WA.

We had a fantastic weekend at this oceanfront house! The view was absolutely stunning—waking up to the sound of the waves and sipping coffee on the deck was pure bliss. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Easy beach access made it perfect for kayaking and the kids playing in the water. We’d definitely love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie McKenna (Crescent Valley Beach House)

Host profile image
John and Laurie are long time locals to the area and love to host guests to their little slice of heaven. Both have been in the customer service industry for over 30 years and truly love to show off all that Olalla Bay Getaway (OGB) and the Olalla/Gig Harbor area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

OGB is a unique waterfront property that boasts incredible views any time of year and privacy not typical to a short term rental. The home has been fully furnished with modern, comfortable furniture that aims to provide a special getaway. Our guests comment on seeing a variety of wildlife while visiting and no matter the weather you will see stunning views from every living space. Although close to Gig Harbor (10 mins) and all its great restaurants, shops and activities you will feel a million miles away at this private oasis.

What makes this property unique

2 outdoor living spaces provide all the room you and your group will need to spend quality time together including: The main level deck has a round table with a propane fire and comfortable couch that together can each seat 6 people. The real guest favorite is the covered space on the ground floor that has a couch swing and additional comfy chairs for hot summer days, cold winter nights and everything in between!
In addition, OBG has 3 kayaks that are available just steps from the water which allow you to get up and close with the amazing Colvos Passage and its stunning views and wildlife.
Finally, you will find an outdoor firepit with adirondack chairs to spend your evenings around and marveling at the night sky.
