The Tides Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Reserve this gorgeous beachfront paradise, consisting of both the main house and an on-site guest home, situated right on the shore of the Carr Inlet. Between the two rentals, you'll have plenty of space for up to nine lucky guests. The single-story main house features a chic, tastefully appointed living room with large windows, record player (with a large selection of vinyl), and a fun, retro jukebox. Prepare meals in the full, updated kitchen, or fire up the gas grill and dine outside on the expansive, furnished deck. The 650-square-foot guest house includes a well-equipped compact kitchen, a desk and chair, cozy furnishings, and its own furnished patio area with an additional grill.

Drop in to the water and take your kayak out for a morning paddle. Kopachuck State Park, just a couple miles away, features two miles of shaded hiking trails, sun-warmed beaches, picnic areas, and outdoor activities that include swimming, paddleboarding, boating, shellfish harvesting, and saltwater fishing. Only five miles from this rental, visit downtown Gig Harbor for shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater. And enjoy a day trip or two to Vashon Island (the Point Defiance Ferry is 14 miles east), Tacoma (16 miles southeast), Port Orchard (19 miles north), or Seattle (35 miles northeast).

Room for Everyone with an Amazing View
Our family gathered at the Tides to prepare for a wedding in the South Sound. We had plenty of space for everyone to work, play, and sleep comfortablely, including our 3 Labradors. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and supported baking dozens of cupcakes and the wedding cake. An excellent vacation oasis!!!

Great little getaway for a family reunion
We really enjoyed staying at the Tides Retreat. There was room for our whole family. It's a beautiful house right on the water. That provided plenty of entertainment for kids and adults alike! I would highly recommend it!

High school Friends gathering
Location is beautiful and relaxing. Of the two bathrooms one is only useable f mobility is an issue. The second bathroom shower has a high step in and a deep step down. If short legged it would be difficult getting out. We especially enjoyed the vinyl albums and turn table. Great selection of music.
