Less than a fifteen-minute drive brings you to quaint downtown Gig Harbor where you can visit art shops, enjoy local beers and fare at the historic Tides Tavern, or rent sea kayaks and paddle boards to ply its waters. Gig Harbor's Uptown provides several entertainment and restaurant options, and further exploration of the Key Peninsula areas offers opportunities to taste world class oysters from nearby Minterbrook Oyster Farms or further afield on Hood Canal. Raft Island House awaits those seeking a restful, soul regenerating getaway.
Summer Note: There is no central A/C, but a portable 10,000 BTU A/C unit is setup in the dining room/common area that cools and vents the warm air outside.
Families or adults 25 year and older only. No parties or noisy activity allowed as island has noise restrictions. Please note parking at local dock near bridge are for local residents only with passes. Please note the house is on a septic system: no grease or food down the drains, only toilet paper in the toilets. Be mindful of steps to beach and bulkhead rock steps to water as they get slippery when it has rained (hold onto rails or other boulders). Note that shellfish on the shores around our island are not monitored by the State for toxins and there have been cases of shellfish poisonings from norovirus and vibrio found in oysters consumed off our beach.
Do not eat oysters here but you can go to Taylor Shellfish Farms or Minterbrook Oyster Company. During summer dry periods small fires in the enclosed firepit on your beach is ok as long it does not produce sparks and embers through the grates.
Please note there is a motion-activated outdoor security camera located at the NW corner of the garage. Recordings may or may not be reviewed and are deleted after guest checkout. There is no access into the garage.
