Romantic Private & Detatched Guest Home behind the gates of a Chateau on the Sea
Your romantic waterfront getaway awaits you in this gorgeous private guest home on one of the most impressive waterfront properties in Washington. Wake up in your king-sized memory foam bed to golden sunrises over the Puget Sound. This guesthouse is detached from the main home and tucked away behind a gated French Chateau style estate in a quiet picturesque neighborhood. One mile from the Harbor and downtown shops, restaurants and breweries.
Guest home has a full-sized kitchen complete with everything you need to make a great cup of coffee or romantic dinner. Comfy living room area perfect for unwinding and snuggling in with a good book or movie. Stunning Italian marble bathroom with double vanity, walk-in-shower and full-sized washer and dryer. Home has 2 electric based wall heating units located in the living room and bedroom and a fireplace in the living room.
Meander around the meticulously kept gardens of the main home and don't forget to catch some "Morning Therapy" by watching the stunning sunrises, complete with Mount Rainier, Vashon Island and Point Defiance Views. Orca whales, harbor seals, porpoises, and bald eagles are all common visitors in this beautiful high bank waterfront backyard along Colvos Passage in the quiet community of Gig Harbor, Washington!
*this is high bank waterfront and there are no stairs down to water.
We stayed at Shannon and Lorne's property for the 4th of July weekend and were not disappointed! The view from the backyard was an excellent place to catch a glimpse of fireworks on the mainland.Shannon and Lorne were excellent hosts and offered some of the best communication that i have had on VRBO. While the guest house was just steps away from their main home, we barely noticed they were there. They were very accommodating and allowed us to enjoy their perfectly landscaped property without feeling like we were encroaching on their home.
The hosts were extremely generous and knowledge. They were to guide/point us at number of local attractions. The property, its gardens and architecture, are beautiful. It lives up to its namesake as a âchateauâ. The garden is impressive, having been featured in the 2019 Masters Gardners Tour. The property also offers stunning views of the Pudget Sound and Mount Rainier. I would not hesitate to recommend these hosts and this property for your future travel plans to Gig Harbor.
We just completed a 3 day stay and were delighted about every aspect of the place. The warm message and bottle of wine to greet us, the charming decor, the beautifully appointed rooms and the exquisite gardens made it a perfect 10 VRBO experience. Shannon and Lorne have graciously opened part of their lovely home and gardens and we are thankful for that!
My wife stayed here while we visited Seattle and the surrounding national parks. This was one of the prettiest VRBOs we have ever stayed in. The guest house, which is located by the main house, is clean, cute, and comfortable. The owners also have an area that you can access in the backyard that has a great view of Seattle, Mount Rainier, and the water. We ate breakfast out there every morning and saw a lot of marine life. Speaking of the owners, they are both incredibly nice and gave us a lot of great information about the surrounding area and cool spots to check out. Overall, we had an amazing time staying here and hope to come back in the future.
This was my second stay in the past ten months. The guest house is beautiful and spacious and just an eight minute drive to Gig Harbor. But the views are the real star. If you're lucky enough to get clear weather you can spend your day gazing at Mt Rainier paired with big water views of Pudget Sound. My wife and I got lucky on this trip and had three straight days of good weather. We enjoyed most of our time outside.

Gorgeous property and guest homeUpdated accommodations in general, very comfortable bed, kitchen more than adequate, wonderful lighting everywhere and heated marble floors in the bathroom.Shannon and Lorne are very thoughtful and kind hostsâŠWeâll return in Summer!
My husband and I needed a few days of just relaxation so we chose this beautiful place that looks so cozy. It definitely was that. Gig Harbor is a wonderful City. You should not miss it!!
My son and I came stay a couple of days in Gig Harbor and were so very lucky to rent this property. One of the most amazing rentals Iâve ever stayed in. The owners were also very accommodating by offering an additional air mattress for my son. Will definitely be looking forward to staying here again if they will have us.
I ditto the many previous excellent reviews that I read before booking. The location was gorgeous; the accommodations were comfy and the hosts were lovely. Thank you Shannon and Loren for making us feel so welcome. We hope to be back next time we visit our daughter. đ
Of all the vacation rentals we have stayed at to date, this is hands down the best in all our travels. An amazing estate with the greatest hosts ever. I will stay here every time I return to the area!!
From the minute we entered the palatial gate, we felt like we were in a storybook. The French provincial accommodation surrounded by beautiful gardens is just the beginning. Our host Shannon and Lorne welcomed us with a tour of the gorgeous view of the Puget sound. The interior was just as amazing. We will definitely be back!!
This was our second visit to Chateau By The Sea and it was just as special as our first. Everything about this property is amazing. We love this place and expect to return yet again.
To the hosts, thanks again for such a wonderful experience!
Spent a perfect Labor Day weekend in this well appointed guesthouse on a Puget Sound waterfront estate. Very comfortable, easy access & a terraced garden pathway to the waterfront to enjoy the breathtaking views!
Thank you Shannon for making this available. đ
Lorne and Shannon were great hosts and very helpful. The property was exceptionally beautiful and peaceful. It was so relaxing as well. We would love to stay here again and encourage anyone traveling to this area to check it out. The view and gardens are amazing and we saw a beautiful full moon rising over the harbor. Thanks again for sharing.
Our stay at this incredible home was perfect. The location is close enough to town, but no traffic noise. The views across the sound were so beautiful. The owners were very attentive and the house was well stocked and it was so comfortable. This is a gem. Put this home on your must visit list!
The Guest House itself was spectacular. This is a one King bedroom house with a very comfortable layout through out. It truly is a perfect size for a couple. The kitchen is well supplied and there is a laundry room. The shower is awesome, and the bathroom vanity is beautiful. But most of all - The View. Whoa! We spent every glorious afternoon out back watching the boats go by on the Sound, and the small aircraft coming for landing at the Tacoma Narrows Regional Airport. And when the clouds were right - Mt Rainer was there in the background. It was magnificent!
