Walk to the waterfront The Cozy Cottage

3.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (5)
"We really enjoyed our stay here and were so glad we found it after our first accommodations fell through due to fraudulent listing. I would suggest expedia lets you know that after booking you will be asked for your credit card and to scan your ID via an incoming email. That process made me nervous and kept me awake at night even though it all seemed to turn out fine. "

"If you’re looking for nature, this is the place. You can literally walk out the door and be on a hiking trail. The hosts were communicative throughout our stay. We were surprised by a number of unexpected treats, including continental breakfast, wine, cheese, bread and sweets. It was a nice surprise! The hosts are upstairs, but they're really quiet. We heard them moving around occasionally, but it wasn't a problem at all. The only slight negative was the pool table. Most of the cues didn't...

Historic Charming Boat in Downtown Harbor

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (12)
"I crave the water but live in the desert. Renting the Shamrockin for a water experience was an excellent decision. The location is 10/10! Shops and restaurants are just steps away from the private dock and yet the location remains calm, quiet and restorative. You can walk everywhere with ease. The boat is charming and cozy with a lot of personality. The bedding is comfortable and all rooms have a small but efficient electric heater. October can be wet and cold in Gig Harbor. There was rain,...

"This guest house over the owners' garage is exactly as listed. The hot tub is well maintained with love and care, and not overly chlorinated which was a pleasant surprise. That view is everything! Very happy parking was provided too. For the price, I would have appreciated non-Keurig coffee with real half and half, since the shelf stable creamers were chunky and drinking meh coffee in Seattle (or anywhere) feels like sacrilege. More than one bath towel per person (I have long hair) would have...
