About this property

Puget Sound Beachfront Cabin near Gig Harbor, WA. Gone Fishin’ Cabin.

Need a little rest and relaxation? Want to get away for a weekend, for a month or two? Welcome to Gone Fishin' Cabin... A family-friendly great place to be closer to mother nature, to unwind, and to relax any time of the year!

The cabin offers 70 ft of private oceanfront with a low bank for easy access to your own NW pebbly/rocky beach. There’s also a neighborhood sandy beach to explore bare feet. Bring your boat; the cabin has a private boat buoy for your use. Also, the cabin has an open concept design with a light and airy cozy comfort for your stay.

Orcas, Seals? Definitely! One of the best key features, the cabin has amazing views of Puget Sound's Colvos Passage, Vashon island, sailboats, barges, and marine wildlife.

Within the cabin's grounds, we have a private new kid's play zone. The 'Crab Shack' is a rustic playhouse with a lower-level lounge and an upper loft area. Bring the kids' sleeping bags and watch the stars through the skylight! There's also an amazing Gorilla Playset with swings, monkey bars, a clubhouse, climbing wall, and a 5 ft wavy slide. Hours of outdoor entertainment for the little ones!

From the cabin's front door, you can walk, fish, clam, crab, and kayak on the beach. The community has a private super soft sandy beach for your use within 5 minutes walk along the waterfront or streetside. Also, you can enjoy swinging on the hammock, sipping a cup of coffee on the deck covered lounge area, soaking in the panoramic sea views, and listening to the crashing waves.

There's always catching sights of the local wildlife... depending on the season, you can see seals, sea otters, whales, eagles...etc. And of course, kids can collect shells, rocks from the private beach. At night, the whole family can roast s'mores in the fire pit while watching the stars.

The cabin inside amenities: 2 bedrooms (one with queen bed, one with twin top/full bottom bunk bed and fold-out foam single sofa/chair), sleeper sectional sofa w/full size bed, portable crib, 1 bath, open floor plan, comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 4 kids, flat-screen TV/DVD combo with cable service, broadband Wi-Fi access, washer/dryer.

Gone Fishin' Cabin is located in Olalla, WA. And is a part of the Kitsap Peninsula in the South Puget Sound. Olalla means 'place of many berries' from the native Chinook word 'olallie.' Situated ~8 miles north of Gig Harbor, it's a great starting point for hiking, biking along the shores of the Kitsap Peninsula on the Mosquito Fleet trail. And if driving is more your style, take the South Kitsap Scenic and Historical Tour. Or enjoy a fun-filled day trip on the WA State Ferry to Vashon Island or Seattle city center.

The cabin belongs to a secluded private neighborhood beach community. Prospect Point offers members-only access to the community sandy beach, to a boat ramp, to the fishing pier - All within ~5 minutes walking distance from the cabin down a single lane private road.

The perfect place for a city break
No matter the weather, this place is great as a quick get away from the city. So relaxing to just sit in front of the fire and watch the water. We had a power outage and the owners were great with looking up the expected fix time for us - very communicative. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. We have already booked our next stay!

Superb
We stayed here for nearly two weeks and loved every day of it. The cabin had everything we needed to relax, cook holiday meals, and enjoy the property. Of note: we worked remote from here -- the internet/wifi was error-free, plenty of bandwidth for Zoom meetings.

We love this property
Really, this is one of the best properties I have ever stayed at through VRBO. The setting is perfect, it is absolutely stocked with EVERYTHING you could ever want, and the owners are super responsive and very nice. We cant wait to come back - I already miss our daily seal visits. Really, if you want the best weekend away, choose this place.

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Arne Schrider

Host profile image
Welcome to Gone Fishin' Cabin, our home away from home in the Northwest! My husband and I both have busy careers. And like most working parents, we are challenged by balancing family needs with work schedules. The cabin is our little Puget Sound waterfront get away from the chaos of normal life. Here, we can enjoy a stroll on the beach with the sea breeze in our hair, take in the amazing oceanfront view while sipping our morning coffee, and listen to the crashing waves from the deck lounge. And the best part, the kids can play on the beach, go clamming, learn to fish or kayak in front of the cabin. Happy memories are made of these...!

Why they chose this property

Gone Fishin' Cabin is in the amazing Puget Sound and within an hour from Seattle. We're super family friendly. It's easy to travel to the cabin, either by Ferry or by road. It's in a small rural village, but also close to Gig Harbor, a seaside port with a pedestrian waterfront, quaint shops, restaurants, and all amenities.

What makes this property unique

As a family, we love just hanging out by the water and enjoying a relaxing time BBQing, fishing, crabbing, clamming, kayaking, snuggling with a book, or playing board games. When we feel really ambitious, then we go for a long walk on the beach. Taking it easy is what we enjoy best at the cabin.
