Family Vacation made easy

My parents visited from NY and we met up with my kids and grandkids. There was room to play and socialize. The bathrooms were a little small but that is the only downside to this house. It has a spectacular view with access to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Don't read this - I want this place all for me!

How did we love our stay? Let me count the ways... We shared our time here with friends who are world travelers and have stayed at more than a few places. They confirmed this was THE BEST. It was stocked better than my own home - you will want for nothing in this gorgeous home with a wonderful, quiet relaxing atmosphere. Loved enjoying the view both while relaxing either cozied up inside or on the big deck, and boarding around the island and seeing all the wildlife close up. Extra bonus to be able to paddle right up to the private beach while doing a lap around the island. Just so many extra nice touches - you can't help but feel spoiled. Everything about the stay was literally picture perfect. Not only is the property first rate, but the locals are great too - so friendly. And some really great pubs, dining, and fun food stores. The one bad thing - too hard to leave! Thanks so much Steven - you're a rock star!

Picture Perfect Location

We loved our time at this Raft Island home. We spent time relaxing as we watched the sunrise and sunset and the tide coming in and out from the deck each day. The location was close to amenities and restaurants in Gig Harbor and was an easy distance to Tacoma. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip.

Beautiful stay over the holiday.

We came to Gig Harbor to visit family and we always love a view. This particular view was spectacular, the property was absolutely clean (one of my high priority criteria), and there was everything you needed. We were there for 11 nights, and I hosted my family on more than one occasion. We arrived at night and that was probably the only time we questioned anything because it was quite dark and we were quite tired. But we were triumphant, the directions were appropriate and I would recommend this property to anyone. The host Steve was absolutely delightful. Not that we had lots of contact with him but when we did it was completely professional. A few people mentioned that the bathrooms were small. But it was not a problem for us. The heating was excellent and it was quite cold.

Fantastic stay on Henderson Bay!

We absolutely loved our week stay here! From the moment we walked through the front door and saw the wall of windows, we knew we made the right choice. Stunning views! We saw wildlife throughout the week (bald eagle, blue heron, ducks, deer, raccoons, kingfisher, bats and of course a ton of seagulls). It was such a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cabin was very clean. The linens were a nice quality. The kitchen was well-equipped. The sleep number bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable, we're seriously considering buying one for ourselves! The bathrooms are pretty small, but we love having two bathrooms while on vacation. We ended up just using the tub/shower for showering because the master shower was the size of a motorhome shower, and too small for comfort. The other one was totally doable. The outside deck is huge, and partially covered, making it great for taking the dogs out to potty. We appreciated the dog potty area right off the deck. It was so easy to access for our older dogs that don't climb stairs as easily as they used to. Steve, the owner, was so easy to work with. He is very responsive, friendly and accommodating. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here in the future. Highly recommend!

Island gem

So many good things to say about this sweet waterfront cabin. We stayed for six weeks in the fall while the weather turned from warm and sunny to cold and rainy - it was gorgeous every moment. Steve obviously puts a lot of love into his place - it is well-built, cozy, cute, abundantly-supplied, and in general, extremely comfortable. Steve was very helpful and accommodating; he made sure we had what we needed and that everything worked, and he was pleasant and friendly but unobtrusive while taking care of routine maintenance issues. Grocery shops, restaurants and the cute town of Gig Harbor are just 15 minutes away. We loved coming "home" to our place on Raft Island.

The cabin is an amazing place anytime of year. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and felt totally at home here. The cabin is nice and clean and has everything guests need to enjoy their stay. It’s peaceful, comfortable, quiet, cozy and private. Steve is super responsive and available should you need anything. Definitely our favorite place to stay in Gig Harbor.

Incredible experience

I almost don’t want to leave a review for fear this place won’t be available next time we come but the world needs to know! Steve was a great host and the house is absolutely beautiful! Waking up to that view with floor to ceiling windows was magical, and made even the mundane feel special. Spotlessly clean and fully stocked with everything you could need. Super cozy and well designed, beds super comfortable. Bathrooms a bit small but totally doable. When the tide goes out you can walk around half of the island. Absolute paradise, can’t wait to come back!

Oh, so, lovely!

Thank you, Steve! Your rental was amazing. It's a beautiful spot right on the water. The place was immaculate and had everything we needed. Communication with you was easy and clear. Our dog especially enjoyed swimming in the water and then cozying up to the fire on her blanket. We would highly recommend staying at the rental on Raft Island and visiting nearby Gig Harbor. Hopefully we can make a return trip in the future!

Wonderful Vacation Home

My wife and I agree that this was the most hospitable home we have ever rented for a vacation. Not only was it located in a place of great beauty with a wonderful view, but the home was peaceful, clean, well maintained and provided top quality appliances, dishes, cooking ware, and everything imaginable to make our stay fun and relaxing. On top of that, from our first communication our host did everything possible to assure that we knew what to expect and that our questions would be answered and our needs would be met. It was a privilege to stay in this home. We hope that we can come back again.

Sublime Northwest Contemporary Waterfront House/Cabin

If you're looking for a quiet, well-equipped waterfront retreat that's remote yet easy to access this is a top contender. It is clear this property is well-loved by its owners - everything is in near-perfect condition. The views across Carr Inlet (part of Puget Sound) look directly at the Olympics and are jaw-dropping. Communication with the owner was excellent - informative and responsive. (Note: because of its placement on a slope directly to the water and overhanging decks, this property would not be suitable for children.)
