Sunrise Beach is just 3.3 miles from the heart of Gig Harbor, restaurants and waterfront shops 7 minutes away, and 15 minutes from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The 180 degree water and mountain views are incredible from this glass front home,it is breathtaking! The Sunrise Beach enclave of 22 homes was established at the turn of the century. It was accessible only by boat until 1960. Eight homes down the beach still use the boardwalk along the beachfront side, to access their land locked waterfront summer homes.
Originally built in 1924 at the waters edge . This home was completely remodeled and features a beautiful kitchen with large great room all with 180+ degree views of the Puget Sound. The home has slate floors, granite counters and stainless appliances. Both bedrooms have queen size beds. We list the beach house as sleeps 4 but there is a hide-a-bed and the large comfy couch can sleep one if needed. Large bathroom with two sinks, slate double headed shower and washer. The home has a large wrap around deck at ground level and right on the water. A separate wood pier extends over the water with stairs to the beach. Two outdoor covered seating areas. One covered area has a couch right on the waters edge to enjoy the incredible view and enjoy the wildlife. The other covered outdoor area is tucked alongside the house next to the hot tub. There are heating blankets to stay cozy with your coffee or let you enjoy the beautiful views beyond sunset.
There is a brand new Weber BBQ to use for the grilling gourmet.
At low tide there are miles of walking beaches each direction - North and South - to collect shells and other treasures. At high tide the water splashes against the bulkhead . There is an up to 15 foot tidal exchange in the Puget Sound - much more than the 6 foot tidal exchange of San Francisco Bay for example. The Puget Sound, also know as the Salish Sea, has clear 57 degree salt water teaming with wildlife. Sunrise Beach county park is a short walk north (.15 Miles) . The best scuba diving spot in the South Salish Sea with a 30-60 foot deep reef running 200 feet along the shore (Google search Sunrise Beach Park WA Diving). Dive boats drop divers most weekends at the reef 7 houses down - fun to watch or join.
Sunrise Beach is on the Salish Sea and has the feel of part of the San Juan Islands (80 miles north by boat) without being locked on a small island with no amenities (like a coffee shop, wine bar, and wonderful restaurants). Tacoma waterfront restaurants are 10 minutes away by boat and 25 minutes by car. There are many great restaurants in Gig Harbor just 5 and 15 minutes away.
