Beautiful house, large with comfortable sleeping areas. Beds were great. Kitchen has many small appliances and serving dishes, plenty of plates and silverware. The cornhole game and air hockey table were great! Really close to Cresent lake boat launch.

The house "fit" our group of 7 women well. It was very quiet and had ample parking for everyone. It is a little over 4 miles to Costco, Safeway, Target and other shopping anyone may need. The town of Gig Harbor is also a bit over 4 miles. Everyone said that their beds were fine, and loved their rooms. Kitchen was well stocked. We did a 3.5 mile walk in the woods, that were less than a 10 minute drive away. There are several walks that are less that 5 miles, within a 30 minute drive. Good internet. Responsive Host. Big yard and things for all ages of children to do. We didn't have time to use the hot tub, but will next time!

Spacious and Comfortable Property

For our family's annual girls' weekend, this property was terrific for our group of 7. It was great for each of us to have our own room, and we appreciated the overall spaciousness of the house. The house was equipped for all of our needs, and the host was great about responding promptly to questions when we had them. Highly recommended!

Good place, nice for gatherings

I have stayed at this place twice now. The place is nice and big, we were all comfortable and the property is remote enough, where we felt very peaceful and in touch with nature. The down side is: it’s really dusty. The house has a central AC unit and the filters have not been cleaned in a while. So despite the cranking in between guests, the place is dusty. If you have allergies I don’t recommend the stay. This was our second time there and all of us brought air purifiers with us.

Great stay in Gig Harbor

Stayed here for the 4th of July weekend with some friends and it was an awesome stay. Plenty of space for everyone, great outdoor spaces for some grilling and lawn games, and close enough to town to go in for lunch/dinner and hang out by the water. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great house for an extended family trip!

We loved our extended family trip to the Grand Del Mar Chateau! We had three couples, one single adult, and three kids under 7. We had plenty of space to be together in the main living areas, and and spacious bedrooms have everyone their own space to spread out. The bedrooms are all spacious and very nicely put together with comfortable beds. The bathrooms were all nice and clean. The upstairs game room area had kids toys and gave the kids a nice play area out of the main living area. The 3rd floor does stay pretty hot even with the AC on in hot weather, so if you're staying in the summer and using the 3rd floor, keep that in mind. The kitchen isn't huge but we had plenty of space to take turns preparing meals. There was a lot of extra space around the kitchen and dining area to have coolers and food storage. The yard and outdoor space is wonderful! We had all the space we needed for the kids to run and play, relax outside on the patio, and play games. There is even a little trail down to a creek on the property. We loved that it was only about 15 minutes from downtown Gig Harbor but is private and feels like you're far away from everything. There were a few things on the property that needed some good cleaning or fixing up, but when I mentioned them to the hosts after our stay they said they addressed those right away. Communication with Erika was easy and she was very responsive. It is a lovely house and a great option for a large group or family!

About the host

Hosted by Erika

Host profile image
Jay and I have been hosting guests at this vacation rental for over 7 years now. He built the home to fit our family, and then they went on to have families of their own. It was difficult to think about releasing so we began hosting other big families and groups. It has been very rewarding for us and we hope that you will come have a stay in the near future so that you can enjoy it as much as we and others have in the past.

Why they chose this property

If you're looking for a place to fit family, extended family and/or friends, groups, etc; this is it! Comfortable, quiet but close to downtown Gig Harbor, Uptown Gig Harbor, Gig Harbor North and minutes to Tacoma and Bremerton.

What makes this property unique

Our unique features include great big bedrooms that have room for your whole group to roam comfortably. Although we sit on 2 1/2 acres of prestine seclusion, we are less than 5 minutes to the town of Gig Harbor, Gig Harbor North, Olalla and the beaches.
