Vacation Rental Description
Just 5 minutes outside the heart of Gig Harbor, 15 minutes from the Narrows Bridge, and 19 minutes from Kensington Gardens is Sunrise Beach. The view is so beautiful that it takes your breath away! The Sunrise Beach enclave was established at the turn of the century. It was accessable only by boat until 1960.
Originally built in 1924 at the waters edge the home was completely remodeled in 2006. It boasts a beautiful kitchen with large great room all with 180+ degree views of the Puget Sound. The home has slate floors, granite counters and stainless appliances. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and the second bedroom has bunkbeds. Large comfy couch can sleep two and Aerobed inflatable mattress in the closet for larger groups. Large bathroom with two sinks, double headed slate shower and washer and dryer.

The home's large wrap around deck is right on the bulkhead! Full under cover outdoor couch on the deck summer months with an infrared heater to let you enjoy the beautiful view longer.
At low tide there are miles of walkable beaches each direction to collect shells and other treasures. At high tide the water gently splashes against the bulkhead. Sunrise Beach county park is a short walk away. The best diving spot in the area with a 30-60 foot deep reef running 200 feet along the shore (Google Sunrise Beach WA Diving). Dive boats drop divers most weekends at the reef - fun to watch or join them. A Buoy for mooring your boat.
