We were looking for a charming place with a water view and we found it here. The view of Mount Rainier from the deck was gorgeous especially when the sun was setting. The house was very clean and comfortable and William was easy to work with. We definitely would stay here again!
The view is so gorgeous. I could just sit and relax by the water all day.
The deck is HUGE and awesome with easy access to the beach down several steps.
The guest house is adorable and cozy!
The hosts were eager to please and make sure I had everything I needed. Bill is incredibly kind and helpful.
I loved my time there.
The guest house is adorable and cozy
This property was the perfect place to unwind after visiting the University of Puget Sound's family weekend activities! The deck was unbeatable--we enjoyed coffee in the mist, cocktails at sunset...delightful. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. We would come again anytime!
We really had a wonderful time and the setting is awesome. The beach cabin is very charming. Our hosts were hospitable. The only caution we would offer has to do with older adults, such as ourselves. The stairs are difficult for people who have any sort of issue with mobility. Tthat said a delightful week
Loved this place! Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing views, good wildlife viewing and wonderful hosts!
We enjoyed our stay at The Beach House very much. It was very comfortable and well equipped with everything one might need. Fox Island is charming and we really felt like we were in a very tranquil, peaceful place. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and it was a pleasure getting to know them. We hope to go back again soon.
We came to enjoy the wildlife and nature and this paradise fulfills that. We got to see porpoise, eagles, heron, and explore at low tide. The picture window and deck are truly remarkable to enjoy the surroundings!
Lovely setting right on the beach with huge deck. Cabin is super clean, bed comfy, hosts very gracious. Can't wait to return to our getaway again. Many thanks Sue and Bill.
Bill and Sue Spencer have created lovely, simple but homey Beach House, with a Spacious and relaxing deck right on the Puget Sound. The home contains a complete and efficient kitchen, a soft and comfortable King size bed, and even a recliner nestled among shelves filled with books. Their beach house is a perfect getaway on days both sunny and otherwise. Bill and Sue are wonderful hosts, very kind and attentive to their guestsâ needs. We appreciated our time in their beautiful haven And hope to return!
From porpoises, momma and baby seal frolicking in the waters morning and afternoon (easily seen from the large deck), to birds galore. The bald eagle calling and swooping from a clump of trees next to the cabin and deer wandering the island make it quite clear this is a special retreat. Beachcombing is a thrill, (bring an old pair of shoes) and wading into the water while the tide ebbs and flows allows crystal clear views of crab, starfish and marine life, while cranes walk ahead of you on your exploration. The cabin is fully stocked with thoughtful touches. Including a vast collection in each room of the books you always wanted to buy at B&N. Including all genres, some beachy themes and lengths easily read in a short stay. No kindle needed here! Waking up with the sun in the super comfy and supportive king bed starts the day with great expectations.
We spent our mornings at some local attractions. Point Defiance Park and zoo is in full bloom just a 45 minute distance from the island. (free parking!) Point Ruston is a must see. Beautiful Olympic mountain views, beach lined boardwalk with readily available rental bikes of all sorts-electric and not, to cruise further down the boardwalk and trails. The Wild Fin Restaurant provides a deck view with a flavorful lunch and attentive staff. Shops, outdoor market... DO check out the FI Pier which is a short trip from the cabin. Stunning views of the Sound and Narrows Bridge, photo ops from every angle.
This cabin gets a gold medal!
Everything was perfect! The views were spectacular, the beach house was clean, comfortable and cozy. The host was very communicative, welcoming and attentive to details. I highly recommend!
What a lovely cabin - close in to Tacoma, yet completely "away"! Floor to ceiling windows with full view of Wollochet Bay, right on the beach. Huge outdoor deck off the living room and a 2nd area below with fire pit. If you love nature & comfort, this is the place to stay.
We stayed a week and everything was great. Checkin and checkout was a breeze, the owners were great and the place amazing. Will stay there again the next time we visit Gig Habor and Fox Island!
Great cabin on the sound. We wanted something away from the city and on the water. This is it. Great deck overlooking the sound. Very comfortable accommodations and everything is as advertised. Wonderful hosts.
They made an effort to communicate about local attractions and they had almost everything we needed for cooking, cleaning up, bedding and towels. We did not need to contact the owners about any problems.
The view is absolutely wonderful. The cottage is right ON the water so you can see the dolphins, cranes, a bald eagle right outside the door, the deer that wander through the property, the occasional seal, the migrating geese, the boats on the bay, the planes going into Seatac airport at night, and the activity on the other side of the narrow bay. What more can one ask for? Except beautiful weather, which we got for our 3 days there.
It's perfect if you love the Pacific NW and the waterways. We plan to go back.
The picture is of Sue and Bill in their Kitchen at Christmas time.
Sue is a retired Tennis Pro who now enjoys gardening and sharing her beautiful flower gardens with others. Her gardens were on the Gig Harbor Garden Tour in 2004.
When they lived in Connecticut, Sue ran a successful B&B for many years.
Bill owns a small business and enjoys landscaping the 13 acres behind their house. When he is not doing those activities, he can be found crabbing in front of their house. He loves sharing with guests the many nearby destinations where they can experience the incredible beauty of the Pacific NW.
We own the Beach House next door to the house we live in, because we wanted to protect our view of Mt. Rainier and because we enjoy sharing the view and the beach with others ... particularly new visitors to the Pacific NW. They cannot believe what a beautiful place we live and the abundance of wildlife that surrounds us.
