    "The Bee Keeper s Cottage is simply ADORABLE, located in a beautiful backyard with private access. Has all the amenities one would need; also very comfortable for two people. Not too far to shopping center.

    The Beekeeper s Cottage is a short term/vacation rental. Located beside the main home the beekeeper s cottage has friendly, happy bees to right of driveway that provide fresh honey. We have 2 sweet white small ducks that enjoy the back-yard pond/water-fall area. We also have a 12-year old black manx kitty names Gideon, and a small indoor dog named Daisy plus a sweet bunny named Newman.
    In summer we have a beautiful garden and a wonderful back-yard and relaxing hammock.
    The cottage is decorated in a beekeepers style, with an antique white iron bed with a new mattress. A small kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower.
    This property is also ideal for traveling professionals on an out of state project, locals needing a residence while their home is under construction, traveling nurses, graduate college students, people moving into the state and looking for a place to stay while they house shop.

    This beekeeper s cottage is an easy drive to Tacoma, Bremerton, Seattle, Bellevue, Mt. Rainier and the rainforests of the Olympic Mountain range.
    But first make sure you partake in everything Gig Harbor and nearby areas have to offer. After you've strolled through the quaint downtown and shopped the boutiques and antique stores take your pick from any of the great restaurants and cafes. Seafood is always on the menu.
    From the ever popular Tides Tavern for casual waterfront dining to Anthony s where the views are as fabulous as the food. You won t be disappointed by the wide variety of culinary choices.
    Gig Harbor is surrounded by water so you can take your pick of activities. Go whale watching with Destiny Tours, check out the History Museum to learn about Gig Harbor s nautical past, pack a picnic and head to one of the many great state parks for a day of sun and sand.
    Paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, shopping, restaurants and coffee shops abound within blocks.
    Double check the address we are on 64th Ave but Google maps sometimes send people to 86th for some unknown reason.

Quiet and peaceful setting on a beautiful property

I enjoyed staying in the cozy cottage. It’s very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The downtown area is not far from the vrbo and there are many things to do and see there. Gig harbor is quite nice with great restaurants On the harbor. Brent and Nina are wonderful hosts.

Quite simply wonderful. Imagine staying with your best friend who has thought of everything to make your stay amazing and you have it. Every single detail was perfect, a beautiful gift on arrival, a bottle of wine, great coffee & tea and the most delicious honey from their own hive. The bed was comfortable and the entire cottage was immaculate. As an added bonus I was able to cuddle their beautiful dog River. The hosts are so lovely and afford you complete privacy whilst making sure everything is perfect. Don’t hesitate book this cottage, it is the best accommodation I have ever rented. I absolutely loved our stay and the area is beautiful. Thank you both, I will never forget your kindness.

This was my first time staying in a cottage VRBO. I have always been interested in thr Gig Harbor area and decided to book a reservation. The host was hospitable and the cottage had the amenities that I need for a sbort stay. I enjoyed seeing the little ducks and the other animals on the property. I will keep this property on my list should I ever be in the area again.

This property was amazing!! I told the host it should be featured in Better Home and Gardens magazine! The cottage and grounds were lovely. Their 2 cats, dog and ducks were a delight to have around the yard, and well mannered. The host was very kind, friendly and attentive! Thank you for everything. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

Cozy, private cottage with easy commute to nearby holiday family gatherings.

Mostly stayed here to rest, explore Gig Harbor, and use as a convenient launch pad for commuting to family holiday events. Perfect for all of this, and the cottage also provided a cozy space with welcoming holiday decorations. Loved strolling along the waterfront area with a gorgeous decorated tree, reading local historical signs posted here and there, plus eating delicious “from scratch” meals at quaint local diners along the historic pathways.

Beautiful garden retreat

Thank you Nina, for the best vacation rental experience we've had! This was our first time renting a property where the host is also in residence and we were uncertain of how it would go; it turned out to be delightfully easy! Nina made us feel completely welcomed and at home, as did her adorable menagerie of sweet animals (hi River, we miss you already!!). Having the option to relax in the gorgeous backyard/garden or make the short drive to charming downtown Gig Harbor gave us the best of both worlds. We're so glad we found Beekeeper's Cottage and can't wait to go back again.

Nina has thought of every little detail possible to make the Beekeeper’s Cottage a perfect place to stay! We enjoyed our 2 nights so much that we have already confirmed our stay for next Thanksgiving as well. Super clean, inviting, cute Honey Bee decor, and very welcoming. We felt right at home and slept like babies. Although it is small, the space has everything you could need! The hot tub, the furry and feathered friends solidified our decision to come back. Thank you so much.

Beautiful respite for the weekend

We chose the bee keeper's cottage for our weekend landing spot during a week of college tours in the Pacific Northwest. I am so glad that I stumbled upon this spot in Gig Harbor. It was such a perfect respite for the weekend, allowing us also to easily explore the Harbor as well as drive into Seattle and take a ferry to Bainbridge Island. We adored the cottage with all of the adorable touches. Nina was the most delightful host that felt like a friend. We loved getting to know all of their furry and feathered friends on the property. The welcome package with the sweet honey touches as well as the delicious coffee and beautiful mugs made for such nice slow mornings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I intend to return with my husband in the future. I highly recommend this gem in Gig Harbor.
