Beachfront vacation home on the most amazing mountain view beach
Enjoy low bank beach access from a large lawn, with a spectacular full on view of Mount Rainier, along with all the additional splendors of Henderson Bay. If the idea of summer breezes, barbecues, roasting s'mores on a waterfront fire pit, and a beach where even the youngest can roam freely sounds heavenly, then you have found the perfect home for your vacation.
This getaway will place you at one of the greatest settings in the Pacific Northwest. The West side of Henderson bay features extensive sandy beaches at low tide. It is truly an amazing area! Take a long walk, throw a frisbee, build a sand castle, and do it in your bare feet; all while enjoying the fantastic bay and mountain view. Feel free to dig clams for a delicious appetizer - just check for Red Tide first! Watch eagles soaring overhead. What truly makes the Morning Sun Beach House unique is the absolute seclusion with unspoiled waterfront to enjoy!
At the home site, you will love the large lawn that stretches from the decks to the bulkhead.. This is an area big enough for lawn games like bocce ball or croquet.
That’s not all; lounge on the big wrap around deck, large enough for two full tables with plenty of chairs for your al fresco dining enjoyment. You will find a complimentary propane barbecue ready for your steaks, burgers and hot dogs. Walk around the deck to the side of the home where a convenient outdoor shower serves as a perfect salt water wash off station.
The main floor of the Morning Sun Beach House has a very open floor-plan with the kitchen in the center of it all. The large L-shaped island with it’s glass cooktop, doubles as a wrap-around eating bar with plenty of room for gourmet food preparation. This kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils and tools you could possibly need. Lots of dishes, glasses of all types, and silverware for all. Gather in the family room to enjoy TV, water views, and lots of seating. Move to the sun room where two walls of windows offer panoramic views. You will also find a spacious dining room with ample seating. The main floor bathroom includes a washer and dryer, ironing board and iron, and a shower.
The second floor of the Morning Sun Beach House features 3 bedrooms with flex space for more sleeping arrangements. The master bedroom is a lovely space with wood paneled, vaulted beam ceilings. There is a bay window with seating, spectacular views of Henderson Bay, a king size bed, TV, and a slider door to the upper level deck. Bedroom two has a queen size bed, along with sweeping views of the bay and access to the second level deck. Bedroom three has a queen size bed and faces away from the water. Additionally, the second story has a flex room with two twin beds for more sleeping space. This room also has access to the deck and beautiful views of the bay. Two bathrooms are also on this level, one with a shower stall, the other with a tub/shower combo. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap are provided.
Your vacation also includes all of the endless waterways available from this location. If you bring a boat, hop across the bay to Cuts Island or just cruise around beautiful Raft Island. Take a longer ride past Fox Island then shoot through the mile-long twin suspension Tacoma Narrows Bridges. From here you can pop-in to the quaint town of Gig Harbor where you can dock up for some great shopping, food, and drinks, or head over to the busy Tacoma waterfront with its many waterfront restaurants.
With this much relaxation, open space and natural beauty, your time at the Morning Sun Beach House will surely go by very quickly. The perfect home, perfect beach, perfect vacation!

My husband, son and I and two brothers stayed for 5 nights surrounding our daughter’s wedding. It was the perfect, tranquil space necessary to relax and recharge around the wedding. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for having us!
The beach house is such a lovely, tranquil getaway with an incredible view. We keep returning year after year. Many thanks to the kind and gracious host for being so responsive and helping us retrieve some luggage we'd left behind!
I booked this place for a girls weekend and it was spectacular! The views of Mount Rainier were amazing and we saw wildlife galore - tiny crabs when the tide was out, sea lions and one night we heard whales! The kitchen was well suited for home cooked meals with all the amenities one would need. And the bedrooms and bathrooms allowed for multiple people to comfortably stay. 100% would stay here again!
My friends and I just spent our second time at this venue as the perfect place for a "girls' weekend." The house is beautiful, and we especially love the range of options for outdoor hangs (patio for relaxing, lawn for games and lounging, and beach for exploring). Love this place!! We hope to be back next year.
This is our fourth time staying at this home. I love it!
This has a casual comfortable feeling with a fabulous beach and priceless view. The home has everything you need, is clean, spacious, and exactly what a vacation should feel like. We’ll be back next summer if not before.
Third time renting this home and I am already thinking of next year. Or maybe a winter weekend!
This beach and view is priceless. The home has everything you need to get away for a relaxing break.
What an incredible place absolutely gorgeous, can’t thank you enough Stephanie for sharing your lovely house
We had a wonderful quiet time enjoyed the incredible views of Mountain Rainer when the sky cleared, we wished to have stay longer and definitely a place to come back
This is the best place we have been to, it has everything one may need, absolutely spotless and first class all way around
Thank you 🙏
Beautiful location right on the Sound. Very nice beach decor. Two spacious gathering areas for conversation and very roomy kitchen and dining space. Also very close to grocery store and pizza. Comfortable beds if slightly unusual location of master and somewhat limited closet space. Only complaint is it's time to repair/replace dishwasher and coffee pot please. :)
Truly a morning sun beach house. But even without the sun - the water, the trees, glimpse of the mountains - it is a lovely setting. You can see outside from every room in the house.
Stephanie promptly answered questions before and during our stay.
The reason it’s not all 5 stars coz the website description says one room has bunkbed with full size bottom - and that’s sadly not accurate. Stephanie said it should’ve been updated last year. Other than that I recommend this place.
We are a group of women (50ish) who annually have a get away weekend. We always try new places but this is the first time we all agreed that we could go back every year. The house was so cute, clean, and the location cannot be beat if you want to be right on the water. The view is amazing and the location is so peacful. We couldn't get enough of watching the seals swim by.
The house is extremely well stocked, lots of towels, paper products, etc. Stephanie was extremely responsive, nice and easy to work with. We loved the deck and the firepit was a wonderful place to hang out too.
One suggestion? A slightly larger grill would be awesome!
Thank you Stephanie!
We loved this house! It was so peaceful and quiet! The directions gave us a little trouble, with two gate codes given. Don't use google maps to get there, either! We loved the decor and appreciated all the amenities. Three bathrooms were wonderful for us 6 sisters! One thing we would have liked would be a floor plan before we arrived. We didn't realize the kitchen was so big and in the center of everything! What a great plan! Thank you, Stephanie, for answering our questions before we came. You were right about the TV. We didn't understand Direct TV, and wished we had brought a DVD player with us. The wifi was spotty, too. The yard and campfire were wonderful!
My family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, spacious home! The home had everything we could need, from a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, paper products, even wood for the fire pit. The first floor layout was great, with the large kitchen right in the middle. There were water views from almost every room. We loved the large decks on both floors of the home. The highlight of this home is the unbelievable view! Mount Rainier was visible many times during our stay! The house’s back yard leads right to the beach/water. We walked along the beach. There were plenty of beautiful shells and sand dollars. It was so relaxing! We wish we could’ve spent more time just hanging at the house but we were busy exploring the area. So many amazing things to see and do. We visited Seattle, Mount Rainier National Park and Olympic National Park. I would recommend this wonderful, peaceful place to anyone. If you do stay, plan some time just relaxing at this home and taking in the view! We hope to return to do just that!
This property is one of the best VRBO properties I’ve ever stayed at. The condition and cleanliness of the property was excellent and the home is equipped with everything you need for whatever kind of vacation you want. We especially enjoyed the sealife in the sound and the beach is covered in shells. The peninsula where the house is located is beautiful and the home is tucked away from the main road. I highly recommend this property if you want to have a great time in Washington.
We were in the area for my son's wedding. Quiet location abundant with wildlife. The home is spacious and well equipped. The views with Mt. Rainier in the distance are stunning!
We enjoyed our stay at the property, which was a nicely furnished and well-equipped beach house. Parking was limited, but we managed with our 5 cars. The beach was very accessible and the sea views were lovely from the inside the house as well as the deck. The kitchen was huge, and there was ample seating in the dining area and the two comfortable living areas. The deck was large with two tables and plenty of chairs. Our only complaint was that the listing description does not say that the master bedroom is reached through the bedroom with the twin beds, so it would be rather awkward for couples staying there who were not family members, and needed access to the bathroom. Also, the mattress in the front bedroom with the queen bed needs to be replaced. It’s very soft and uncomfortable, and my husband ended up sleeping on the couch on the main level because the mattress was so uncomfortable. Also, the shower door in the bathroom on the main level does not close properly, creating a puddle on the floor when the shower was used. Other than those things, we were very pleased with this house and would recommend it for a group or large family. It’s in a great, wooded location, with a grocery store nearby, and we had great pizza from Figaro’s, which is also nearby.
Had a great time . House is comfortable and nicely appointed. It was "Buck Moon" during our stay so incredible low tides and a great beach. Grand kids had a great time and so did the adults.
Highly recommend for the whole family.
We wish we could have stayed longer at this beautiful beach house! It's spotless, inviting, and has clearly been furnished and maintained with a lot of love. The views are fantastic and the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms are equipped with everything we needed for a warm, comfortable, and enjoyable weekend with children. The owner was friendly and flexible and a breeze to communicate with. We will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie
Hello Potential Renters! My name is Mary and I am the fortunate girl who owns this beautiful beach house. The Morning Sun Beach House was purchased by my parents as a place for them to enjoy the beauty of Puget Sound and a location for their children and grandchildren to gather. I so enjoyed spending summers raising my four children out at the beach house surrounded by family. In 2016, it was time for my parents to pass the torch. My husband and I are thrilled to follow in their footsteps and provide a place for family to gather. We know you will enjoy it as much as we do.
