The Tides Retreat
Reserve this gorgeous beachfront paradise, consisting of both the main house and an on-site guest home, situated right on the shore of the Carr Inlet. Between the two rentals, you’ll have plenty of space for up to nine lucky guests. The single-story main house features a chic, tastefully appointed living room with large windows, record player (with a large selection of vinyl), and a fun, retro jukebox. Prepare meals in the full, updated kitchen, or fire up the gas grill and dine outside on the expansive, furnished deck. The 650-square-foot guest house includes a well-equipped compact kitchen, a desk and chair, cozy furnishings, and its own furnished patio area with an additional grill.
Drop in to the water and take your kayak out for a morning paddle. Kopachuck State Park, just a couple miles away, features two miles of shaded hiking trails, sun-warmed beaches, picnic areas, and outdoor activities that include swimming, paddleboarding, boating, shellfish harvesting, and saltwater fishing. Only five miles from this rental, visit downtown Gig Harbor for shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater. And enjoy a day trip or two to Vashon Island (the Point Defiance Ferry is 14 miles east), Tacoma (16 miles southeast), Port Orchard (19 miles north), or Seattle (35 miles northeast).
