Driftwood Villa on Fox Island

Driftwood Villa on Fox Island Allow yourself to indulge in all of life’s luxuries when you book a stay at this waterfront Fox Island home, a tranquil escape in nature’s paradise! Beautifully appointed and utterly exclusive, you and your loved ones will be able to enjoy the Evergreen State’s pleasant weather from the private dock and sprawling deck. Watch the boats go to and fro while preparing cookouts on the gas grill and dining al fresco under the shade of the umbrella. The property’s private dock is your gateway to the unique natural world of Puget Sound. As you relax, keep an eye out for a truly special experience: local wildlife is a frequent and treasured sight. You may spot bald eagles soaring overhead, great blue herons fishing along the shoreline, or even a playful harbor seal swimming in the bay. The area’s calm waters are perfect for launching a kayak or paddleboard directly from your private beach, allowing you to get up close with the marine life. The interior of the home is just as stunning as the outside with its luxury furnishings, high ceilings, and open layout. The gourmet kitchen elegantly gleams with its full suite of stainless steel appliances, center island, and granite countertops. Adjacent to here, the expansive living room boasts a gas fireplace, leather seating, and a Smart TV. Equally inviting, the home’s five bedrooms are lined with warm wood finishes, central air-conditioning, and plush linens. The primary suite comes with its own list of excellent perks like sweeping water views, a fireplace, and a spa-like en suite bathroom. Indulge in yourself while soaking in the bubbling warmth of the tub and rinsing off in the walk-in shower. Additional interior perks include things like a designated work desk, a separate laundry room, and a sunroom. Beyond your private retreat, Fox Island and the surrounding areas offer a wide array of activities to enjoy year-round. You can explore the scenic trails at the Fox Island Nature Center, go fishing from the Fox Island Fishing Pier, or enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach at the Tacoma DeMolay Sandspit Nature Preserve. For community events, check the local calendar for annual happenings like the Fox Island Fair in August or the festive Christmas Tree Lighting in December. Just a short drive away, the charming town of Gig Harbor provides a variety of shops and restaurants to explore, as well as the scenic Cushman Trail for walking and biking. Within 20 miles of your stay, take time to visit Titlow Park, Chambers Bay Golf Course, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, Pantages Theater, and multiple restaurants and shops.
