About this house rental

The Tides Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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).

Wonderful place to stay! The 7 of us childhood friends had a great time and were very comfortable. Place was pretty clean & very relaxing. Loved sitting out on the large back deck, just looking at the water and all the nature. So good for the soul!

The location of the property and the view were great. The space was also comfortable and worked well for a family get together. Unfortunately it was managed by vacasa and I did NOT have a good experience with them. Poor and impersonal communication leading up to the rental and I had to call them when we arrived because they only provided the code to enter one of the two houses. They seemed to do the bare minimum to keep both houses running between rentals. There were notes on several of the windows saying that they were broken and not to open them - in areas that were hot and stuffy, where opening a window could have helped. We also had to spend a lot of time cleaning off the back deck before we could use it - it was totally covered in pine needles, like it hadn't been blown off in weeks. Outdoor furniture was old and tattered and the gate surrounding the yard and entry to the water was completely rusted and falling apart. Overall, we had a nice time with our family here, but the rental was expensive and should have been in better shape. Based on this experience, I would also rather deal direct with the home owner than a property manager such as vacasa in the future.
