    Fabulous View
    The view is stunning. The common areas look great – clean and modern. In general the property is well maintained. The photos accurately reflect the grounds, exterior, and common areas. We were excited until we arrived and found out the listing was not correct with regards to the sleeping beds and the number of bathrooms. The property was described as 5 bathrooms and 7 sleeping beds. First, there is only 3.5 bathrooms – one of the toilets is not operation during the summer months (we rented in August), and one is only a half bath. One bathroom is in the laundry room and there isn’t enough room to comfortably walk past the W/D to the toilet and shower. The bathroom in the basement (without a working toilet) had a broken shower door with broken glass on the shower floor, and a clogged sink with awful-looking standing water. There is only one (master) bathroom photo but, it doesn't look like that now. With no curtain be prepared to flash anyone standing on the back patio. The other bathrooms are dated and don’t look anything like the one bathroom photo. More and accurate photos would be helpful. The listing described 7 sleeping beds: 1 king, 3 queen, a twin, a futon, and a sofa that converts to a double. There wasn’t a sleeper sofa in the basement. And, the twin is not a full-sized twin – it is a child’s bed. I contacted the owner to let her know of the inaccuracies and since our stay the listing has been updated to accurately reflect the beds and baths.

    Making Special Memories
    Our family group of three generations thoroughly enjoyed our Gig Harbor stay. We felt like royalty. We enjoyed the views from the porch and windows. We put together a puzzle in front of the family room window, looking out in the bridge and Mt. Rainier. It was amazing to see Mt. Rainier in so many different lights during the day. We enjoyed watching the water and the trains on the other side. The home gave us lots of room to spread out. The beds were comfortable. Maryam was very responsive and knowledgeable about restaurants and current activities in the area and respected our privacy. We enjoyed the fancy coffee maker, grilling fresh salmon on the bbq grill, and roasting marshmallows for some mores in the fire pit. We stayed more than a week, but wish we could have stayed longer. We made some very special memories for our family and thank Maryam for sharing her unique chateau with us.

    Views good, could be cleaner
    Overall the place was okay. It did feel scary at night. There were some issues with cleanliness of certain things like the coffee maker there was mold, etc. but overall good. Some people may be a little scared at night just because of the darkness and the feel of the place. Property manager communicated very well and worked with us.
