Nature at its best. In the past 4 months, we have had deer, bald eagles, otters, porpoise, seals, whales, fish, and many species of birds and ducks…even a bear. Enjoy picking plump, delicious black berries during the season.
Relax in this private retreat. Admire the sights and sounds of nature or watch a complimentary Netflix movie. Complimentary WIFI provided.
Many really great restaurants, shopping, theaters, grocery, hikes, and exploring are only 10 minutes away in Uptown or Old Town Gig Harbor. Tacoma museums and attractions are 15-20 minutes, SeaTac is approximately 40 minutes and Seattle is 60 minutes.
You have a private entrance to the magical beach. Loaded with sand dollars, shells, rocks and tranquility, you can enjoy a beach fire for smores and hot dogs. (Pending the tide and seasonal restrictions). Fourth of July fireworks from your balcony are some of the best to be seen, really amazing.
When the tide is out, you can walk for a mile on the beach, exploring the sights and sounds of nature. Complimentary kayaks (2) and canoe (life jackets provided and required) are here for you to enjoy (when available).
This historical waterfront site was once a stopping point for the Steamer Arcadia, picking up local, fresh produce and passengers (including students for historical Stadium High school) to sail around the Puget Sound.
This property is truly beautiful waterfront at it’s best! We have spared no expense to make this the perfect place to stay on your get away.

This is a beautiful location. We saw all kinds of marine animals during our stay. Close to plenty of stores, restaurants and activities. The sunsets and sunrises were stunning. I highly recommend staying here!!
We had an amazing stay!!! It was incredibly clean and well stocked. The owners were great at answering questions and making us feel welcome. We would stay here again without question!
Great location with great views and wonderful layout for two couples. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property - but we were distracted by family wedding activities. Very much worth another visit.
This is the third time we have stayed here and it was just as good as we remembered. Property is well stocked with everything needed for a relaxing vacation. So close to the water that at high tide it's like you are on a boat. Lots of wild life sightings including a family of seals we saw each day. Only a short drive to downtown Gig Harbor.
The house is very well maintained and up-to-date. Being right on the water is amazing!
Quiet neighborhood within comfortable driving distance from Seattle.
Owners are SUPER helpful and gracious!
I would absolutely stay here again.
This is a wonderful place with an awesome view. You are right on the water. You will enjoy reading the history of this place. We will definitely return.
I very much enjoyed my stay. The location is an easy drive from the main part of Gig Harbor and the area is stunningly beautiful. The house sits directly on the water with nothing obstructing the view. I slept in the upstairs bed and it was very comfortable. I enjoyed waking up and looking out on the water and watching the wildlife… I miss that part already!
The owner is wonderful and was super easy to work with before and during the trip.
Great beautiful property as described. We saw seals,sea lions, otters, and ducks. Owner very nice and responsive to any needs. Stayed a week and had a great time exploring the area. Gig Harbor is a nice area. We drove to Vancouver for the day and also to Cape Flattery/Forks/Port Angeles area. Would stay again!! Thanks Annie!
Great views of the water throughout the property. Easy checkin. Great proximity to multiple locations - we visited Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Seattle and Olympia. It was unseasonably warm two days which made the upstairs too warm to hang out or sleep but the downstairs was comfortable with windows open and fans.
This house does not disappoint. It has all the amenities and with the most breathtaking views. Sitting on the deck, relaxing and watching the marine life was top on our list. We saw seals and porpoises multiple times. The owner was so easy to communicate with and the whole process was very smooth. We cannot say enough about how wonderful this house was for our vacation.
The Captain’s House was absolutely beautiful, the location is nice, views are amazing, and the home is decorated and stocked with comfort in mind! The parking is just a tad tricky but it wasn’t the worst we have ever experienced. The home is stocked well and we had everything we needed, plus more. The beds are comfortable, plenty of linens available, and we really enjoyed the views and access to the beach. We would recommend this home to anyone who is in search of a relaxing trip to this area as it is within driving distance to Seattle and surrounding areas.
Chaptain's House was the place to stay
After a beautiful drive, we found the
Place that was called our home
The water just outside the door
All we saw was
Incredible
Nature
Happily we saw
Other animals than at home
Unbelievable we could even see
Seals, sea star, crabs and sand dollars
Eagles, humming birds and much more
We can tell about our experience to be there with our children, but I would say,
come and stay
and see it for yourself.
You won't be disappointed!
Thanks Annie for sharing this beautiful place with us.
House was very clean, great location on the water, very close to town for convenient driving , beds were comfortable, would suggest adding a dishwasher. Dishes were not as clean as they should be. Not very relaxing to handwash dishes. dishes.
This property is a spotless and beautifully appointed cottage on the water. At high tide the deck hangs out over the water! We had a great "Girls Weekend" here. The hosts could not have been more gracious with personal touches and responsiveness. We enjoyed wildlife sightings, paddling the kayaks, and watching the continuous shoreline changes with the tide. We were blessed with great weather and spent a good amount of time on the deck when we weren't exploring Gig Harbor and vicinity.
This is an amazing rental. The owner was incredibly helpful, showed my kids different types of sea life, gave us tips on the area and even called me when there were whales in the area. The house had a great layout and everything we needed. One of the previous reviews had mentioned a concern about no washer/dryer access but there is one. Just ask. They have a designated one for the unit. We are definitely going to stay here again. Thanks again Annie
A terrific base from which to explore Gig Harbor/Tacoma/Seattle. We thoroughly enjoyed the location and loved watching the ever-changing tides and seascape. At high tide, you feel like you're on a ship! At low tide, you can walk the stoney beach and make discoveries. We saw eagles, seals, deer, herons, geoducks, and much more. I love the history of the property; it was the Cromwell Ferry Ticket Booth! Thank you for the lovely getaway. The canoeing was divine! My only caveat, as described, is that there are steep stairs down to house and a spiral staircase inside, which can be difficult for toddlers or those with bad knees!
We celebrated my husband's birthday here and it was the perfect spot. The location overlooking the water is mesmerizing and the house is even nicer than the photos portray. It's an extremely quiet place on the beach, which is exactly what we wanted. We spent a lot of time just marveling at the view and relaxing. We love the town of Gig Harbor and hadn't been for several years. We enjoyed walking around and basking in the beauty. Annie's the perfect host. Communication was excellent prior and during our stay. She even took the time to alert us ahead of time that an extremely low tide was expected during our stay that would enable us to experience sea life that is typically always underwater so that we could adjust our schedule if we were interested in exploring. She also provided restaurant and hiking recommendations at our request. We recommend this property highly and hope to spend more time there in the future.
Perfect place to celebrate our Anniversary. Captains House did not disappoint! The views from every room are breathtakingly stunning. The views from the bedroom upstairs at night gave off a Sleepless in Seattle vibe (beyond romantic). Ann is a wonderful host, answering every inquiry quickly and thoroughly. The rental is luxury living with comfortable beds and linens and a kitchen equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed the kayaks provided. There was a harbor seal that likes to hang out in front of the house. The 4th of July fireworks are unlike any I’ve ever seen, magical on the water. Thank you, Dave and Ann! It was a real treat!
The Captain’s House hosted by Annie and her husband was a 10/10— they thought of everything down to a guide to the rocks & shells on the beach. The view was epic from each window, and we enjoyed greetings from a seal everyday off our deck— who the kids named, of course. The Captain’s House served as a great jumping off point for visiting Olympic NP, Mount Ranier, & Colombia River Gorge + The Fruit Loop. Our days not out seeing sights were VERY peaceful & filled with canoeing, doing puzzles, & exploring the squirting geoducks, crabs, & starfish on the shore. Could not have been more pleased!! Thank you for hosting us!!
We were in Gig Harbor for a wedding and decided to find a place on the water. Our stay at Captain's House was perfect in every way. It was super comfortable, clean, well equipped and even comes with the use of several kayaks.
Favorite memories: Sunsets, sea life, meals on the deck and morning polar bear dunks.
The host has thoughtfully put together a binder with the history of Captain's House, descriptions of local flora and fauna, restaurant recommendations, etc. Very interesting and helpful.
P.S. I would not recommend to anyone with mobility issues (entryway) or young children (wire railing on deck is very loose). Otherwise, I highly recommend.
We are a family of 5; kids are 17,13,11. When we planned this trip, we planned to have a solid home base with beautiful views with intentions on traveling all around the area every day.
Well, we had the beautiful views, and then we loved it so much, we dedicated 2 full days just hanging at the house, taking the kayaks and paddle board out, and just relaxing. The home is absolutely perfect if you are seeking some time away with your family to unwind and relax.
The kids could not get enough of taking the kayaks out to find the porpoises that were ever present, and multiple times were visited by them as they surfaced right near their kayaks. The daily visit from the sea otter and bald eagle was amazing as well.
The home itself is exceptionally clean and well appointed. The host (the actual owner) was very attentive and available. She even offered her EV charging for our Tesla, which significantly reduced charging logistic complexity to enable our adventures.
Highly, highly recommend!
