Beautiful setting
Beautiful upscale house in a picturesque setting. Most rooms had their own private bathrooms and our party of 12 had an incredible time.

Private Pacific NW Paradise
We had the perfect stay at Driftwood Beach. It truly is a slice of paradise. We rent beachfront homes all over the world and this place was truly special. You feel like you have your own beach and feel like you are sitting on a boat from any room and deck. We had a multigenerational group from little kids to elderly and it worked well(had to navigate a couple of steps but it was doable). The views were just spectacular. We all had some of the best sleep EVER- it was beyond peaceful and quiet. It was super easy to get to from Seattle/Bellevue- by car and even have the option to take the ferry if you want. We did both and the kiddos were thrilled! The kids loved watching for seals(no whales) and searching for little crabs on the beach. The water is super calm so you can easily watch the little ones from the deck while enjoying adult time. The owner was incredibly responsive and was eager to make our stay perfect. We will definitely be back!

Perfection in Pacific Northwest
This home is the absolute best for a large family gathering. Great living and outdoor space, incredibly well equipped kitchen, super comfy beds and the most peaceful views and location I’ve ever been in add up to a week to remember. The three 6-12 year olds spent hours finding crabs under rocks and wading in the water. Nature hikes are close by and Gig Harbor is available for eating out. The museum in Gig Harbor was a hit too. The adults sat on the deck, cooked great meals, and slept so well in the comfy beds . All in all, perfect.

Beautiful views, well kept home
The pictures truly don’t do this home justice. Absolutely stunning. The home was clean and spacious. Communication with Annie was prompt and she went above and beyond, even sourcing extra pack n plays for our infants. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Incredible Location
The house is beautiful, and the location is unbeatable. We all had an amazing time while the kids explored the beach all day. When the tide was high, it felt as if we were actually on a boat because the deck was situated just right. I would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Jolie

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Gig Harbor. We originally purchased a home that came with a small building on the water that used to be the Cromwell ticket booth. We remodeled this home for our children to stay while visiting. We offered this waterfront cabin on VRBO and loved the idea so much that we expanded our ownership of beautiful homes and now offer them for you to enjoy. We love doing this and sharing these amazing homes with others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We bought Driftwood Beach Waterfront home from the bank in 2016. It was previously owned by a hoarder and was in very bad shape. It took us two years and lots of love and work to make this home the spectacular home it is today. The location is perfect, close to Gig Harbor, Costco and downtown for shopping yet so private you feel like you are on an island. Colvos Passage is very deep water and is a favorite passage way for the Wales and large steam ships that come through. While working, we would often stop to watch a cool ship go by or watch whales swimming their way to the Gig Harbor. The beach changes everyday. Some days you will find large jellyfish and crabs and others you will find some of the most amazing pieces of driftwood. During low tide you can walk down the beach to Al's Market and grab a beer or ice cream, just be sure you don't stay to long or you will be swimming home.

What makes this property unique

Close to Ferry to Seattle, 11 miles to Costco in Gig harbor and some amazing restaurants in Old Town. About 15 min to Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Kayak from your front yard, fish from your own beach or just sit for hours watching the wildlife. I am tempted to move into this house, it is so amazing but we built it for you so I will just have to be content to go and visit it when it is not booked.
