Visit to Gig Harbor

This is a lovely place to stay. The waterfront is very nice and the owners allow you to use the kayaks for paddling in the bay. I especially appreciated that my kids and grandkids could come visit and play there while I was there.

A Stop Worth Making

The crow's nest was a great find to be away from the immediate Sea-Tac area. Great view with Mt Rainier in the distance.

Beautiful rental property

The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The unit was perfect - everything we needed and more. The bed was super comfortable. The view from the deck was amazing with the bay and Mt Rainier in the background. The location was perfect and a short drive to Tacoma. We highly recommend this rental and will definitely be back to stay again next time we’re in the area!

Quiet solitude

What great hosts! We spent a month here at the Crows Nest and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our hosts invited us to celebrate the 4th with their friends and truly made our time here wonderful. The view here is spectacular and we spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the gardens and the bay with Mt Rainier in the background.

Cozy

This was an adorable stay. It was fall and rainy, but the gardens are still adorable. The home is very comfortable and quiet in a nice quiet neighborhood with a wonderful view. I'd live to see it in the spring and summer. It's also in a great location for visitors who want to explore Seattle, Tacoma, the penisula or the mountains. wawant to explore the

Perfect

What a lovely, welcoming space…right down to the walking path to the studio. The gardens are gorgeous and well maintained. The owners are welcoming and friendly but not intrusive at all. The unit is bright, spacious, well thought out and super clean. So much attention to detail in order to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You actually feel like a family guest, not just a renter. Loved the deck as well…perfect for quiet morning coffee and reading and an evening glass of wine(or two). Location was great and easy access to Gig Harbor and all it has to offer. We had a great little stay.

The Crow's Nest is a wonderful place next to the water. You can go kayaking on the sound or just enjoy the the views of the water and Mount Rainier.

Week on Wollochet Bay WA

Beautiful, clean and well stocked large studio - Crow’s Nest was perfect for a couple. View of the bay and Mt. Rainier from balcony makes you never want to leave it. Candace was a great host sharing her kayaks for relaxing cruises on the bay. Convenient to grocery, restaurants and more. Highly recommend.

Nice Location

Friendly hosts and in a safe area… they have kayaks and a small rowboat to use. One set of steps to get the apartment above the garage. No dishwasher the listing tells you that. Stacked washer/dryer works but it takes a long time (2 hours) to dry clothes. Heat is electric resistance and hard to regulate… it has a dial with no gauge showing temperature. The owner could save a lot of energy by installing an inexpensive split system heat pump for both air conditioning and heat that would be quiet and comfortable.

Simply great.

We’ve been traveling a great deal recently and throughout our lives and this place on the water, bar none was the best. Our hi light of every day of the month we lived there were the sunsets with the gleaming Mt Rainier as a backdrop. We delighted in walking through the lovely gardens on our way down to the beach for kayaking. We were totally enthralled watching the young sailors learning the art of managing their small boats almost every afternoon and evening. We could go on and on but suffice it to say if you ever get the chance to stay here in “The Crow’s Nest” , jump at it early. You will not be disappointed!!!

Wonderful Rental!

This a spacious studio with more on hand amenities than are listed. Beautiful view from bedroom/porch of water and Rainier. Lovely gardens and walkway. The dock is well maintained and solid. Excellent parking. Bed was extremely comfortable. We could not have been more pleased. Candace was kind and gracious. Because the water was so calm, we choose to paddle from Wollochet boat launch( about 4 min drive) to the Narrows bridge where there is a park for lunch. Normally this is a tricky paddle because of the currents, but we planned it well and the water was calm. We saw 5 Eagles, 2 Red Tailed Hawks, approx 50 Porpoises, 2 Sand Pipers, Cormorants, Terns and so much more! The boat launch right next the home is a great backup for less experienced paddlers or if you happen to hit rough seas because it is more protected. Very clean and very private. We will definitely be visiting again. An absolutely delightful place! We highly recommend. The Doolans

Candace Rocks!

Stayed 6 weeks and loved it. Beautiful Wollochet Bay seen from the balcony. This is an extremely large studio unit above the garage. They have been updating with a stacked mini w/d, new small stove, hot plate, toaster, mini Kerrigan and microwave. You will have to wash your dishes but the view of the happenings on the gravel drive are fun to see. Candace helped me carry my stuff up a flight of 14 steps. (I’m 70). My 2 cats adored all the window sills! Candace was 100% nice!!! Great place...would have stayed longer but all booked up!
