The house fit our extended family beautifully when they were in town. Lovely views, thoughtfully laid out and so convenient. Will definitely book again!
Loved this unique, quirky property with direct access to the water. Very relaxing and easy access to south Gig Harbor grocery stores, restaurants etc. Comfy beds, beach fire pit and new washer/dryer made for an easygoing time.
We had a lovely stay at this historic property! It has a lot of charm. We enjoyed the beach, coffee on the decks and paddling on the sound. We even saw a seal. :)
This house is lovely and has beautiful water views. We enjoyed reading the history of the house & what made it special to the area. The neighborhood is quiet with low traffic streets for easy walking and running. It is very close to a Gig Harbor and its wonderful attractions and a reasonable drive to Seattle. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the water craft but were happy they were an option. Thank you for the personal welcome!
The property was exactly what was advertised if not better. We absolutely loved the property and location. We would go back there again. Definitely an A+ property.
This beachfront house was a welcoming spot to get away! Our family loved the extra large sectional couch for a movie night, fire pit for s'mores, calm beach for our children to play by the water, and proximity to shops and restaurants for exploring. We would definitely go back!
We used this property as our home base to visit Mount Rainier. We were comfortable in this historic building, and wished we had more time to explore nature and relax a bit after an adventurous week in both Washington and Montana. We saw a bald eagle and a seal from the deck of this location. Kristen was attentive and accommodating.
We had a great time at Berg’s landing- such a fun historic place with an amazing view. We had one day of perfect weather to enjoy the beach, kayaking, and smores at the fire pit. The house was very clean and the beds and couch were so comfortable. Convenient location for Tacoma, Puget Sound and even Seattle.
The beds were extremely comfortable. The washer and dryer were fantastic. We loved the views, especially watching our kids use the paddle boards and kayaks and life preservers out in the water. Our five-year-old was able to build his first fire. Thank you for stocking firewood. :-)
First off, the host was absolutely amazing in every way, from a month previous to the stay until the day after, absolutely accommodating. The place it self is wonderful full of gig harbors history into which I grew up and even my family who came over, gig harbians thought it was absolutely beautiful. I will 100% stay here again. Thank you Kristen for the opportunity and good times!
My family stayed at the home from 6/22-6/28. We were blessed with nice weather the entire trip. The location is fantastic. We were super lucky to be sitting on the deck when Orca came into the bay! If you like walking the beach and kayaking and just being outside, this is the place. The beach is literally steps away. Our property manager was very helpful in responding to questions. I would book this home again.
This charming bungalow on the beach was a perfect for a long weekend getaway to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. The house was appointed with everything one could want. The outdoor beach fire pit was home to many fun moonlit laughs. The history of the house is also super cool. Highly recommend
We had an amazing stay at “The Water House” named by my almost three year old. At this time of year, Bergs Landing was quiet, peaceful, full of amazing light and views, and a perfect place to relax and spend some quality family time together. We had everything we needed for cooking several meals at the house and loved the location and it’s proximity to the beach and water, but also the quick trip to Safeway! This location is one of a kind with its interesting history and beautiful views.
This home was absolutely beautiful. Location right on the water was perfect for use of paddle boards and kayaks provided. Plenty of life jackets were available for use. Comfortable outdoor furniture was available on beach and decks for outdoor enjoyment.
Kitchen was well supplied with all items necessary for a great visit and the 2 living areas had ample space for everyone to spread out. Beds were very comfortable.
House was spotless when we arrived and the host was awesome.
Will definitely visit again!
Property was everything that was described. Fantastic weather was a bonus and made the morning coffee and evening drinks on the deck that much more enjoyable. Kayaks were great for medium and smaller people but did not work for 6 ft 5 inch nephew. Only one x-large life vest but we worked around that. Would recommend to anyone that is looking for two bathroom unit able to sleep 6 in beds.
A coworker and I went for two nights to be heads down on a project. The space was large enough that we were comfortable and the amenities were amazing. We had a blast kayaking after work. The only thing that alarmed me was a 10am check out. I’ve never seen a check out so early but it was clear in the listing and the place was so amazing that it was ok. Would love to come back sometime.
What a cool place to stay. Plenty big, clean, nice decorations. I loved learning about the house before it was a house. Enjoyed watching the boats launch and cruise on the water. My only little critique, no king size bed. Lol. It was the epitome of calm. It was a wonderful time.
Had a tremendous time staying in this renovated historic general store. We stayed here all week with our family and loved the atmosphere and location. S’mores by the fire pit and kayaking with the provided kayaks were just some of the highlights from a great week.
This property is located right at the boat lunch which allowed us to meet all sorts of great people and to enjoy watching families and boaters come and go.
And the best part of the week was the occasional visits on the deck from some of the local “beach dogs” Walter and Millie who made sure we were having a great time.
The sunsets were to die for and sitting by the fire on our own little private beach was absolutely perfect! Can’t wait to go back!
