About this property
"The Red Door" 1 mile from downtown. 1 bedroom. Own entrance. Full Bath/Kitchen
The Red Door is a 600sqft open concept one bedroom basement apartment with its own entrance and a Keyless Lock. A fully stocked kitchen, full size fridge and table for four. You look out into a private fully fenced back yard and greenbelt and sit by the fire pit under a completely covered deck. This apartment will keep you nice in cool in these hot summer months and then step outside and relax under the covered deck, a private fire pit surrounded by solar lights and grill to cook up your dinner. We are located one mile from the heart of downtown Gig Harbor. Walk down to the boat docks, rent paddle boards or kayaks, have the famous fish-n-chips at the Tides Tavern, listen to Tuesday night summer sounds in the park, Thursday's farmers market and stroll the shops. We are about 4 blocks from the Cushman Trail which you can take your pick which end of town you would like to explore, it's about equal distance to either Uptown Shopping center or North GH shopping. We are just 4 miles from Tacoma Narrows Bridge and 20 miles to the Southworth Ferry to Seattle. This property is also ideal for traveling professionals on an out of state project, traveling nurses, graduate college students, people moving into the state and looking for a place to stay while they house shop. Walk straight down to the harbor in 20 minutes and enjoy the breathtaking Harbor while strolling the shops and even stop at the Trolley Food Truck for a bite to eat. There is so much to do and see in this little town, we are surrounded by water and the nicest people you will come to meet. Gig Harbor has been ranked in the Top 20 Small Towns of America by the Smithsonian.

Troy and Jolie were just the most wonderful hosts! My Mom needed a quiet place to stay after a medical procedure and their place fit the bill. The garden was lovely and all the amenities were just right. We will absolutely be back n the future. Thank you!
A little difficult to get luggage down the outdoor steps, but once you’re there everything is just great. Very clean and comfy. All the touches and furnishings we needed for a 4 day visit with our family. The hosts are super nice and friendly, but definitely gave us our privacy.
The Red Door exceeded our expectations! What a great place. It was very clean and comfortable. Although we were in the basement, noise from above was not a problem. The bed was very comfortable and the small kitchen met our needs.

We enjoyed our stay at the Red Door. Located in a quiet neighborhood, we could relax in the evening after touring around the area and Seattle. The garden was full of birds every morning. The hosts are very accomodating. We can highly recommend staying there.
Had such an amazing time the week I stayed. Was so close to everything Gig Harbor has to offer. The host were amazing and very communicative. 10/10 would recommend this VRBO!! Plus very cute dog that loved to come say hi!!
This apartment was the perfect accommodation for us. It was beautifully furnished, comfortable, included every amenity imaginable, and then some. The private back yard was beautiful, affording a restful solitude from the busyness of life. The hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. We would easily stay here again!
I stayed 3 weeks. It was very comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. The location was excellent close to anything I needed in town. I would certainly recommend this to anyone wanting a good place to stay in Gig Harbor.
From viewing online and booking, through packing up to return home, this was an awesome place to stay in Gig Harbor! Troy and Jolie were amazingly kind and welcoming, and Lucy was friendly and the best behaved dog ever. Everything was picture perfect and a terrific place from which to explore. Quiet and peaceful, gorgeous landscaping, comfy bed, pleasant shady patio with chairs and footstools for a place to read, etc. For sure, would book here again (and again).
We stayed at the red door for three nights. We were in town for a wedding, the location was perfect. The process was flawless, communication with the owners was excellent. The property was very nice! Would have loved to have used the fire pit, but it was 95 degrees.
We came up to say goodbye to our mother. Visit with friends we haven’t seen in years. What a wonderful peaceful stay. The backyards with the birds, squirrel, gardens and Miss Lucy. Thank you Jolie & Troy it was perfect! We will be back.
We stayed 9 nights while I was recovering from surgery. We couldn’t have asked for a more quiet, peaceful place to stay. Troy & Jolie were amazing hosts and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Their place is top notch. Very clean and the amenities were plentiful. Their yard is also beautiful and very well cared for. We would not hesitate to recommend to others and would love to stay again sometime. Thanks again Troy & Jolie!
My husband and I stayed for a week while house-hunting in Gig Harbor. I worked from the apartment 3 of those days. Internet service was reliable. The kitchenette was well-stocked and had a nice Keurig you could use to make a full pot or a cup at a time. Brita pitcher in the fridge was a nice touch to avoid buying bottle water. Comfy bed. Nice bottle of wine awaiting our arrival. We cooked a few meals while there and found the appliances very functional. Troy Snook was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I even got to pet their dog Lucy and toss her a ball in their lovely backyard. We are returning to stay again less than a week later while doing business in the area. A testament to the enjoyment of our stay!
The apartment is roomy and attractively furnished, with a large bed and comfy easy chair and couch. Love the red refrigerator! Included were basics like eggs, coffee, creamer, microwave, tea kettle, plus dishes, pots, pans and cooking utensils. The hosts even supplied us with a bottle of sparkling wine, all sorts of brochures on local sites, and a list of nearby restaurants. The yard outside the apartment is SO appealing, with colorful flowering plants and verdant grass. There are chairs for sitting outside, and feeders that attract birds, including hummingbirds. Two dehumidifiers keep the place comfortable, and they are simple to empty as instructed. The hosts are very friendly, are available by text or call, and respond promptly. Lucy the dog is an adorable and well-trained VRBO ambassador. Only 15 minutes away from Gig Harbor shops, restaurants, and harbor views. You do have to be careful negotiating the few damp concrete steps down to the entry gate, and you are asked to take your shoes off once inside to avoid tracking in anything. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend The Red Door.
We had a lovely three nights stay and highly recommend the property for a stay. Very tranquil setting. Comfortable bedding. The hosts have thought of everything. Dedicated parking spot very convenient to rental space. Clean, well equipped. Owners were easy to contact, responded swiftly. We highly recommend and would certainly stay here again if in the Gig Harbor area.

This was one of the best VRBO’s we have ever stayed at
My wife and I have stayed at many bed and breakfast around the world and this was one of the top two or three in our whole experience.
