Recent Gig Harbor guest reviews

My husband and I have stayed here a couple times now and enjoy the beautiful decor, the coziness, and the beautiful setting.
Kimberly S. | Dec 2024
My husband and I stayed at this house for several days and had a wonderful time. It is a spacious, gorgeous house, and has an excellent view. It is a little bit further from the water than I had realized; it wasn't an issue, and it does have direct access. I had simply misinterpreted the pictures, and assumed that it was directly on the water. Regardless, we had a fantastic time, and would be delighted to stay there again!

If you like to eat oysters and clams, this place would be perfect for you. There are plentiful oysters and clams right at the property for you to harvest and eat. The host was very responsive and answered all my questions and takes care of any issues I had very quickly. I would love to stay here again if we ever come back to this area.

History of Gig Harbor, WA

In the year 1840, Captain Charles Wilkes brought a small boat called the “Captain’s Gig” into this sheltered harbor for protection, and a year later, Gig Harbor was born. The name of both the waterfront city and the bay surrounding it, Gig Harbor is considered a favorite tourist destination by many, with plentiful swimming, museums, parks, hiking trails, and breweries everywhere you go.

Fishing in Gig Harbor, WA

Whether you’re an avid fisherman yourself, or you plan to head down to the harbor and buy a fresh catch from someone who is, Gig Harbor knows its fish! Known as the “Maritime City” by many, lovers of seafood will find some of the freshest catches they’ve ever had, from Dungeness crab to Chinook salmon. If you want to get out on the water yourself, bring your own boat along, or visit Gig Harbor Rent-A-Boat for all kinds of rentals, from power boats to kayaks. 

Things to Do in Gig Harbor, WA

From brunching at the Devoted Kiss Cafe to visiting the annual summer festival at the Blue Willow Lavender Farm, there is plenty to keep even the most seasoned traveler occupied. In the summertime, pack a picnic lunch in your kitchen and have some family fun out on the water on a pedal boat! The Pacific Northwest is temperate in the winter, so if you love the outdoors, don’t let the drizzly weather stop you from your hiking adventure – just bring some sturdy boots and a waterproof jacket along! 

If you would rather stay dry, bring some cozy pajamas and a good novel or two and curl up in the living room of one of our Gig Harbor rental homes (many with their own fireplaces) for wintertime rejuvenation. Later, you can stop by 7 Seas Brewing for a warm, inviting atmosphere and a taste of what locals have named the best brewery in the South Sound.  

Day trips from Gig Harbor, WA

Gig Harbor claims to be “the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula” for a very good reason! Explorers can hike, fish, or even drive all the way to the Pacific Ocean for beachcombing and whale watching. Guests can also reach the southernmost point of Olympic National Park in about 70 miles.

For lots of shops, tourist attractions, and theatre, how about a city adventure? Just about a 45-mile drive from the center of downtown Seattle, guests staying in our Gig Harbor vacation rentals can reach the Emerald City in just under an hour when traffic is light. See the world-premiere of a new musical at the 5th Avenue Theatre or munch on a piroshky at bustling Pike Place Market.  

Only an 11-mile trip to Tacoma, automobile aficionados can visit America’s Car Museum, while fans of Chihuly’s work who can’t make it all the way to the Chihuly Garden and Glass under the Space Needle in Seattle can visit the Museum of Glass in Tacoma!

This corner of the country welcomes guests with a love of nature, a youthful spirit, and a sense of adventure. If you have what it takes, book your next getaway in one of our Gig Harbor vacation rentals today.
