Serenity Bay Retreat

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

You'll be immersed in spectacular scenes of Henderson Bay at this waterfront home on the shores of Gig Harbor. This is a place for taking in the beauty of your surroundings, whether you're strolling down to the pebbly beach, launching a kayak from the dock, or admiring nightly sunsets from the deck that runs the length of the house.

This home sits on a west-facing property on an inlet of Puget Sound, with access to a dock and beach down a hillside path that are shared with the neighbor. Gig Harbor (four miles southeast) is a charming and vibrant community, offering a quaint downtown with local boutiques and great restaurants. It's also a wonderful home base for excursions to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (14 miles).

Begin and end each day in the striking outdoor spaces, whether you're sipping your coffee on the sloping lawn, dining alfresco on the expansive deck, or gathering around the firepit for s'mores, majestic sunsets, and unforgettable stargazing.

The same beautiful scene awaits inside, with views of the bay visible throughout the single-story living space. The rooms are large and lined with glass, from the elegant kitchen with stainless steel appliances to the dining area that opens to the deck. There's a waterfront living room with a smart TV, a laundry room where you can toss your swimsuits, and both central AC and high-speed WiFi throughout the house. The bedrooms include a primary suite with its own balcony for morning coffee and a spa-like bathroom with a jetted tub and rain shower.

2/10 Terrible

Disappointing
This place was absolutely disgusting. There was rat poop everywhere. Dead spiders, hair on sheets, dirty pillows, and did I mention rat poop? I’ve worked with Vacasa before in Oregon and they’re usually great. Although guest services was responsive and apologetic, no action was taken during our stay. They only offered a partial refund for the cleaning but I would definitely not recommend this place.
