Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Gig Harbor

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Having stayed at dozens of rental homes around the country, its easy for me when I come across a standout like this property. The home is possibly the best appointed rental I have ever stayed in. If you intend to hang out at the house and enjoy the scenery, the back yard and kitchen are perfectly set up to entertain your guests. My family and I did not notice a single thing that we wanted or needed that was not on hand. Anyone looking to rent a property in this area of Washington, I would highly recommend this home! Im sure I will be back one day.

Arwen was a lovely host. There was a slight complication getting into the house and but she was so lovely and gracious. The decor and design of the house are impeccable… I’m trying to figure out if she could come decorate my house the same way! It truly felt like a retreat and a magical getaway. Just two things to note. — I stayed with my mother and daughters and the small steps up and down from room to room were a bit tricky for my 80-year-old mother. Also, the steps to the upstairs are very steep, though so worth the climb— so beautiful up there! — There is road noise from the traffic in the evening… lots of cars going across the spit, but we were able to tune it out. Arwen has thought of everything and it truly is a lovely relaxing house- like a garnet hill catalog or something! There was a slight complication getting into the house but Arwen was apologetic and responsive. Highly recommend the stay to any family!

Celia, thank you for a wonderful stay! The place was beautiful outside and in, while also being comfortable. We were able to find what we needed fairly easily, and spend time with our friends. The kitchen had almost everything we needed (Please add a bottle opener!). There were instructions to get down into the boathouse and dock, door keys, etc. Loved soaking up the views!

My family loved this home! Lots of games, complementary snacks saved the day with young children. It was clean, spacious and peaceful! We will definitely be returning in the future.

This was our second time staying at Stephanie’s house, and I can confidently say it’s the only place I want to stay at when I am visiting Tacoma. It was absolutely perfect the first time—and somehow even more perfect the second. Exceptionally clean, very quiet, and with a super responsive host. The location is great—close to stores, restaurants, and parks. The bed is very comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. It’s truly a gem!

We enjoyed the whole house. It was beautifully decorated and so cozy. The views of Mt. Rainier from the living room and 2 bedrooms are stunning! While we were there, we saw seals, an eagle, deer, and a friendly cat that visited us daily. The kayaks were a hit. We would stay there again!

Beautiful place with gorgeous views and access right on the lake. Super peaceful. Spacious house with everything you need to cook or relax. Would highly recommend it.

Victorias place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The Captains Quarters are a must stay place if you’re in long branch/lakebay. It felt like we were truly a captain of a ship, especially since the view was absolutely amazing. Victoria was so responsive, kind, and gave local recommendations. The private beach is even more gorgeous than the pictures, and it felt like a getaway from home. Our only regret is that we didn’t do more on the property! Would definitely stay here again. Props to Victoria and the amazing space!

This place was exactly what was described and you get what you paid for. Patrick was really kind, offered early check in and communicated really well. The apartment was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The blackout blinds were PERFECT! It is small apartment however it was just me and my small child and for the amount of days we were there it worked for us. The area is not the absolute best but it was very quiet and clean for the most part. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

Perfect place to recover after surgery. The variety of places to sit and relax was excellent. Really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook including good quality knives and cookware (much better than many other places I've stayed). Lots of thoughtful details like beach towels and chairs, outdoor blankets, binoculars to watch birds and boats, extra blankets and pillows. The host was responsive to a couple of special needs and we enjoyed the baked goods they provided. It is a bit of a drive to restaurants or grocery stores which was fine for us. It was perfect for rest and relaxation.

Cute interesting decor. I really enjoyed the jukebox and walking around the neighborhood.

Relaxing layout and location, excellent for a quiet retreat. 15 min walk to the shoreline with a few local eateries nearby

I appreciated how friendly Beth is and I’m so grateful they have an Airbnb. The space had gorgeous views of the sound kitchen two bedrooms full bath. It was on a nice sized property felt very private and safe. Beth was great at communicating and helping us know how to get in and how to check out. Anderson Island is a beautiful place with kind residents. We highly recommend Beth’s place at Anderson Island!

Great place. Quiet, super clean, safe, and comfortable. Exactly as pictured. The value of this place for the daily rate is more than fair. It was great having a place with a full kitchen and a full size washer and dryer. Very convenient for exploring Tacoma and other areas due to it's central location. The hosts created a really nice place, and it shows. I would absolutely recommend this place to other people.

Nice place as listed.

We absolutely loved our stay! Toni Marie made everything so easy and the apartment exceeded our expectations from all the little touches to the surprisingly comfy sofabed to the serene rooftop. If we had to single out a favorite detail, it’s the big surrounding trees that make the apartment feel like it’s in the middle of a city park. Everything was perfect and we didn’t want to leave!

We had an amazing time staying here. The place is very nice and clean just like the pictures…lots of lighting with blackout curtains for full privacy. We would definitely stay here again if we ever visit Seattle again. Bryce is also very responsive.

We had a wonderful stay at Ron’s place. We were visiting our son and family and were very close to their home. We had a spectacular view of the sound from the condo. Having a washer/dryer wasn’t something we thought we would need but it ended up coming in handy before we left. Ron responded to our texts very promptly. Would highly recommend Ron’s place to anyone visiting the area.

I enjoyed my stay. I feel like I was serviced well and the Airbnb was a great place to stay for my weekend. Would highly recommend

We just had an amazing time in Robert’s place - made extra special because we could park our car easily there and go absolutely everywhere by foot! The apartment was extremely well equipped, comfortable and Robert was an exceptionally responsive and proactive host. We’ll be back!

Check in was seamless and we really enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants in town. The place was very cozy and perfect for my husband and I. The bottle of wine was a nice touch. We will return to Tonia’s next time we are in Bainbridge!

Really lovely stay at Rachel's place. Best parts for me was the location (easy walks to all the Winslow has to offer and on/off the ferry to head to the city. The other good parts were the bed (comfy) and the landscaping around the space - very well done. Would definitely stay here again.

We are a family of four who spent eight fantastic nights at this property, and we absolutely loved it. Everything was exactly as described, and the location near SeaTac Airport was incredibly convenient for our early morning and late-night flights. It was also easy to explore both Seattle and Bellevue from here. The apartment complex is peaceful and well-maintained, with several pools. Cole and Ella provided clear and easy-to-follow instructions, and the Wi-Fi connection was flawless. I highly recommend this place without hesitation!
