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. ##### Susan S.

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! ##### Lee R.

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! ##### Malia L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittney B.

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!! ##### Brittney B.

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. ##### Ally P.

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! ##### Marty C.
