Step outside your door and enjoy direct access to a pebbly beach when you retreat to this guesthouse in Gig Harbor. Beautifully positioned on the shores of the Carr Inlet (on a property that it shares with a separate main house), this 650-square-foot home features a communal yard where you can soak in the summer sunshine, access to a gas grill and a patio table, and wonderful views of the water, the Olympic Mountains, and incredible sunsets.

What's nearby:
This property sits right alongside the beach on Carr Inlet, five miles west of downtown Gig Harbor's restaurants, shops, and charming streets. Take your kayak out on the water for a morning paddle, drive the surrounding country roads and take in the coastal scenery, 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).

Funky but comfortable
Part of the charm of Little Tides is the funky 40’s-50’s vibe. The kitchen works. We would appreciate the addition of a toaster and a blender. Also, weirdly enough, there was only one coffee cup, ironically a local freebie. The wicker sofa needs an upgrade on the cushions. The TV did not work—no signal, no channels. We tried twice. Also, the electrical outlets on the long wall are ancient—they will not hold a plug. They need to be upgraded. In spite of all this, we will go back. Little Tides is within miles of our family and very convenient. The property is beautiful!

Little Tides
We enjoyed the roomy bedroom which included a cute mini kitchen, sitting area, and half-bath. The view was awesome! What was surprising is that the area is upstairs, inaccessible to handicapped persons. Full bath downstairs and nice office space. We did not attempt communication with the property manager but had to rate that in order to submit the review.

Lovely little tides
The view is incredible. You are just a steps away from walking on the beach when the tide is low. Peaceful and enjoyable. The only bad was very tiny kitchen but easy to with. And GPS will take you to the wrong place because it zones in on the house not the street address. Keep eyes peeled for address!

Get away
This was a great spot, very comfortable accommodations with beautiful view of the water. Carport very very tight even for our small VW and there is zero lighting down steep driveway to house. Otherwise great stay.
