Captain's House - great place
Great location with great views and wonderful layout for two couples. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property - but we were distracted by family wedding activities. Very much worth another visit.

A Special Place called the Captain's House
Chaptain's House was the place to stay After a beautiful drive, we found the Place that was called our home The water just outside the door All we saw was Incredible Nature Happily we saw Other animals than at home Unbelievable we could even see Seals, sea star, crabs and sand dollars Eagles, humming birds and much more We can tell about our experience to be there with our children, but I would say, come and stay and see it for yourself. You won't be disappointed! Thanks Annie for sharing this beautiful place with us.

Lovely Beachfront House
We were in Gig Harbor for a wedding and decided to find a place on the water. Our stay at Captain's House was perfect in every way. It was super comfortable, clean, well equipped and even comes with the use of several kayaks. Favorite memories: Sunsets, sea life, meals on the deck and morning polar bear dunks. The host has thoughtfully put together a binder with the history of Captain's House, descriptions of local flora and fauna, restaurant recommendations, etc. Very interesting and helpful. P.S. I would not recommend to anyone with mobility issues (entryway) or young children (wire railing on deck is very loose). Otherwise, I highly recommend.

History, location, and glorious views!
A terrific base from which to explore Gig Harbor/Tacoma/Seattle. We thoroughly enjoyed the location and loved watching the ever-changing tides and seascape. At high tide, you feel like you're on a ship! At low tide, you can walk the stoney beach and make discoveries. We saw eagles, seals, deer, herons, geoducks, and much more. I love the history of the property; it was the Cromwell Ferry Ticket Booth! Thank you for the lovely getaway. The canoeing was divine! My only caveat, as described, is that there are steep stairs down to house and a spiral staircase inside, which can be difficult for toddlers or those with bad knees!
