About this property

Island Oasis-Waterfront w/Dock, Kayaks & SUP Board

Island Oasis is located on Fox Island just outside of Gig Harbor. We are on a quiet driveway with views of the Puget Sound. Come enjoy 90ft of waterfront to paddle board, kayak, fish, and boating. Our deck is a perfect place to hang out with family and friends enjoying the views and cooking up some food on the BBQ. We regularly have deer, birds, and seals out every day.
The space
Our townhome has two units. Guests have access to the entire main level of the unit A, which contains the bedrooms (2), bathrooms (2), kitchen, dining room, living room, and deck looking over the water.

We have a trail that leads to our waterfront and dock. Here you will find kayaks and paddle boards.
Guest access
Guests also have access to the laundry room on the lower level.

Guests can also walk down the path with a moderate decline/incline to the waterfront and dock which is where the kayaks are located. Please note that the dock does NOT contain a ladder. There are steps down to the beach that can get very slippery as they are submerged in water during higher tides. Use of the waterfront (incl. the dock and kayaks) is at your own risk.
Other things to note
The path down to the waterfront is about a 200 ft. It is a moderately difficult hike up and down the hill, especially if you are carrying something heavy. We do NOT recommend carrying your own kayaks up and down the hill unless you are very strong and able-bodied.

The property is very clean and very well stocked. It has an excellent water view and we enjoyed immensely our Kayaking around Tanglewood Island. Merrill is extremely helpful and is always available. Thank you both for a wonderful stay.

Lovely family trip

We had a family trip to celebrate my father in laws birthday. The location of the house to my In Laws is why we chose it, but the stay was excellent. The house is clean, the view excellent, and the paddling was first clas! We will be staying here again!

Beautiful Waterfront View

We would love to return to this awesome vacation rental! It is large, very comfortable, and has huge windows across it's front allowing an expansive, gorgeous view of Puget Sound waters. The new deck is awesome and provides a peaceful setting. Communication with the owner was easy and Merrill was very accommodating!

Better than the listing!

This property’s view is everything. The photos don’t even do it justice. The unit is actually bigger and more spacious than we expected and was a great spot for us to escape for a few days to work remote. The host was incredibly helpful and made sure we enjoyed our stay!

This home has a lovely view and is very comfortable. We greatly enjoyed our stay and I LOVE the sofas! The gas fireplace is a joy on a cold day. The beds were comfortable and amenities were great. Hosts are extremely responsive. Our father is 94; the only challenge is the bathtub showers. They don’t advertise handrails so this didn’t surprise us, but it was a challenge for him. Otherwise, it’s three easy steps to get in and no steps inside (except for laundry). Dock access is super fun; wish we’d had time to go down! If you’re struggling with door locks, pull the handle a bit toward to the outside to open or lock the doors. I have these locks at home and they need the door to be pulled tight. Highly recommend this home! Lovely kitchen, too, though we didn’t use it on this visit. Saw some deer on the driveway; super cool!
Morning view
They had the pillow nicely arranged… there are two of these!

I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay. I appreciate the note about the shower; adding a handrail is a great idea and I’ll take care of it when I get home.
