About this property
Large 4BR Bayview Dog Friendly - Deck - Firepit
Summary:
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 Space:
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).

Wonderful Tides Retreat
This is the most comfortable rental we've stayed in over many years. Our favorite parts of the house were the sunroom and the back deck. Just watching the water move in and out, and nature was all the entertainment needed. We will definitely make this our number one place to stay when we visit the area again. Thank you!
A gorgeous piece of park like waterfront! A perfect family reunion spot with a huge outdoor deck and beach/lawn for kids to play. Appreciated having 4 King sized beds. The Little Tides building was much larger than anticipated. The Living area is very large, comfortable and open. We brought our own kayaks and SUPs to paddle out to Dead Man’s Island. Gorgeous view.

The view and tranquility from being outside on the deck is incredible. Inside is spacious. Large kitchen, easy to work and gather in. The home itself is not kid friendly. If you are bringing children, be sure to bring games and toys. You also need to bring cards and games for the evening if you don't want to watch tv. Rooms and storage are large. Bathrooms have peeling paint and the house over all was not overly clean. Primary bed is comfortable, the other two, not even close. Bring your own bed pillows if you can. Definitely a pet friendly home, can tell from the smell. Again, if you can spend your time outside on the deck, it is worth it. Even with everything said above, we would come back to this house.
We had such a good time at this place! The king beds were great and what made us choose it, but the setting won us over. The tide schedule made for a fascinating observance of wildlife. We went kayaking and were joined by seals,. The record collection provided great ambience for the evening. We would choose it again.

Wonderful house with an amazing property. We enjoyed our stay. The only frustrating experience was at check in. The house was supposed to be available at 4 pm. When we showed up, the house was not ready. The cleaner was still inside and we couldn't get into part of the rental until 4:30 pm. The other mother in law portion of the rental wasn't available until 5 pm.
Wonderful place to stay! The 7 of us childhood friends had a great time and were very comfortable. Place was pretty clean & very relaxing. Loved sitting out on the large back deck, just looking at the water and all the nature. So good for the soul!

Relaxing Waterfront
This was a great option for our two families (with kids). Great beach and private grassy yard with a deck. We all loved the fact that it was a waterfront home without all the popular “beach house” signage/decor.

Beach house
Beautiful spot, views and nice open floor plan. Great for our family!
A great view and comfortable home made the trip easy. Beds were a bit small but very comfy. The extra cottage was convenient and made for extra room however it had a very strong musty smell that we could not get rid of, most notably in the bottom level and especially in the bathroom/hot water heater area. The main house has no odor. Being right on the water with a beautiful view of the mountains made it a great place to stay - seal watching was a highlight.

Location and atmosphere
My family loves the location and atmosphere of this home. The views and property grounds are lovely. The home is spacious and comfortable. I think the lower level and bathroom of the little house need to be updated.

Hi, Tara. Thank you so much for your kind words about the location, atmosphere, views, grounds, and spaciousness of the home. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed these aspects of your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the lower level and bathroom of the little house. I’ll be sure to share your comments with our team as we continually look for ways to improve our properties. We hope to host you again soon!
This house was super cute! We booked the house for our friends to stay and it was amazing! The house keeper was late to cleaning so our check in was delayed but the view made up for it.
