What a great place to visit

The location is top notch! Property is cute and spacious. The outdoor garden is great as well. The owner lives here full-time so it feels a bit weird since all items are personal items rather than items meant for rentals. She came over for multiple HOURS every few days to check the property and water the garden. We felt as if we needed to leave each time and it was a lot. It really stressed my parents out and did not make the trip/rental feel welcoming or enlacing. The hot tub was also filthy and not usable. We tried once and water smelled terrible. Our bathing suits smelled awful and we had to wash all suits and towels immediately from the smell. Not chemical but just rancid.

It was a pleasant stay and nice location.

We really enjoyed our stay in gig harbor. The house and property are lovely. It is walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. Mary was nice and greeted us upon arrival with a tour of the house. The hot tub out back was an added bonus. We would recommend Mary’s place and will try and stay here again if we are in the area.

Beautiful property and area. My sister and I stayed in gig harbor to visit our grandparents for their 90th bdays. The house is well kept and clean.

Clean and comfortable as always and a perfect place for family time.

The house was wonderful! It was super clean and the hot tub was ready for us when we arrived. It is a 5-min. walk to to restaurants and a really quiet, nice neighborhood. The home owner was very responsive and helpful with instructions on how to access/use things in the home. We had a great time and would do it again!

My wife already wants to go back. The house and neighborhood are very nice, and it’s close to downtown. Mary was an amazing host. Highly recommended.

Same as last time, everything you need for a comfortable visit. We even got a day of sunshine again to enjoy the area more.

Beautiful home in Gig Harbor. The owner, Mary, was very kind. Our stay for 1 week was lovely. Highly recommend this home!

Very cozy and lovely place to spend a weekend with the grandkids! Everything we could possibly need was there and when the kids found the toys, it was like they hit the lottery. The property is very unique and we were very impressed with the renovations.

The property is a fabulous property that is set in the wonderful, nautical town of Gig Harbor. Only a couple blocks from the waterfront where you can enjoy the scenery, take a walk and/or enjoy some great casual and fine dining. The home is well appointed and well decorated. The home has been added onto since originally built which made for some of the light switches to be in places you wouldn’t expect but that is quickly solved with a bit of hunting. The home has a nice patio area with a hot tub to enjoy if weather permits. Our only issue was having the owner on-site 7 days of our 10 day stay to water and otherwise work in the gardens. It seemed a bit odd that a short term rental required that much maintenance for the yard and garden. Not sure we would rent again as it was awkward having the owner on site that much but that does not diminish the quality of the home itself or the beautiful location.

Mary was great! Communication was spot on and we had everything we needed. Bed was comfy and this place was centrally located. Thank you Mary, for letting us stay in your perfectly appointed home!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. House has everything you need. We enjoyed the hot tub every day.

Mary was there to meet me and gave me a tour of her home when I arrived. It is a super special place, they had lots of information on the history of the home. It was very clean, the beds were comfy, the garden and hot tub was beautiful- we had an awesome time!!

Outstanding location, beautiful home, fully equipped, gracious and helpful host

It was perfect for our needs

My wife and I spent 10 days here in December. The house was clean, and in a great location. We both love to cook, and this house had all the cooking utensils we could ever ask for! Other VRBO properties we've stayed at had the bare minimum, and we've had to purchase things like baking sheets and decent pans. Not with this house! We were able to make Christmas day dinner of lasagna and home baked bread for our family. It's a foodie's paradise! We were very comfortable and all the amenities worked as advertised. Mary was very pleasant, and took the time to introduce us to all the features on the property. We would definitely stay here again, and have already told our friends about it. Best VRBO we've ever stayed in!

We rented this property with a hot tub, television, washer and dryer and the promise of privacy from Mary, the owner. We arrived early evening and waited for our children to arrive. Our television did not work, the hot tub did not work, the dryer did not work and none of this was told to us in advance. Day 2, Mary informed us that she would be working outside all day if it was not raining...not my idea of privacy. We left for the day and came home at dark to find Mary still there...she told us previous guests had broken the television and the hot tub, She also told us that the dryer had broken the morning we had arrived. We got a text to tell us she was taking the broken dryer out and the washing machine out...a whole day was used while the washer and dryer were removed and replaced by the owner and her friends...again no privacy. Mary arrived one day to exchange cars, and came into the garage...we all scrambled to get dressed as we were unaware this was going to happen. I got a call two days before Thanksgiving telling me that Mary was on the phone with the cable company and could I try to turn on the television so that she could relay her conversation to me to try to fix the tv. I was not home, she called my husband, she relayed the information to my husband and they got it running. I asked at this point if our family would be left alone on Thanksgiving and she said yes.....but wait...I was also informed that Mary would be stopping by the house the day after Thanksgiving to pick up supplies, etc...another day we left....we were uncomfortable...In all out of 7 days I think there were two that Mary did not come by....To be fair, Mary left us a check, which we declined....to compensate us for our troubles......... Oddly enough, Mary did not acknowledge that we declined the check or communicate in any way with us. We rented a place with the understanding we would be left alone to enjoy each other. That did not happen...then the toilet broke...my husband got it working ....we just wanted to be left alone to enjoy each other...The house itself is lovingly decorated but if you want to enjoy privacy, a hot tub, television that works and honest communication this may not be the place for you.

The property was well cared for and in a great location. It is the primary house of the owner and she moved out while we were in the house.

We rented the whole house (2 bedrooms). It had a full bath upstairs and half bath down. Beautiful kitchen! 2 living room areas to relax in. Very clean and pretty and only a short walk from restaurants and coffee/breakfast shops. Highly recommend!

Surprised and impressed with fabulous gardens!

We had an amazing experience and Mary was wonderful! We will definitely return!

We thought we would have the house to ourselves. The owner was around quite often in the kitchen. It wasn’t a big problem, just different from the way it was described.

Mary offered to stay with a friend so we could have the house to ourselves. She did stop by unexpectedly which felt just a tiny bit like she was checking in on us. Overall however we enjoyed the home and she was very welcoming. Great location, beautiful scenery but very soft beds (not a probably for half of our party members so it just depends on your preference).

We had a wonderful stay. If we ever come back to the area, we will check here for a booking first. Also, we loved the hot tub!

Quick response to inquiry, easy to find, parking in driveway, comfortable accommodation, wonderful hostess.

Extremely clean and an easy walk to downtown! Home was beautiful and the hot tub was relaxing! A great place to create memories!

First off, the location of this property is ideal for Gig Harbor! The gardens are exceptional and have been part of the Gig Harbor Garden Tour. The kitchen is a “dream kitchen” and well appointed. There is a lot of fascinating history regarding the property as well.However, my husband and I were not anticipating that this was a “shared” rental. The property was a former B&B and the owner lives on site and shares all of the common area. In addition, if we had not rented both bedrooms, there could have been a possibility of sharing the upstairs bathroom with another renter as well. During COVID, we had rented a VRBO in order to stay “sheltered” with just the two of us, as we usually stay at hotels when we travel.The bedrooms were okay. The queen bedroom was roomy, but had very light blinds so it was very bright. It was also over the garage so when the owner would use the garage door it was noisy. The bed was comfortable. The king bedroom was very cramped and the furniture was very dated, the bed was not very comfortable as it was in a former waterbed frame. The king bedroom closet also contained many of the owners personal items and photo albums. It just felt uncomfortable.The hot tub was unavailable the first night, but it was very nice on the other evenings that we were there.There are two large TV’s, one in the downstairs living room, one in the upstairs sitting room and two small TV’s in the bedrooms. Mary, the owner, was very nice and had many helpful suggestions for restaurants and other activities. She also tried not to be intrusive, but we didn’t really feel as comfortable as we have been with other VRBO rentals that were not shared.

Enjoyed stay. Excellent location, walk to restaurants & shops on the water. Beautifully furnished.

My family and I stayed at The Parsonage this week and were extremely happy with the property and the host. Mary has goes out of her way to make you feel right at home in this beautifully renovated historic home. It has all you need and more, 2 private beds, 1.5 baths living room, fully stocked and I mean fully stocked beautiful kitchen. Backyard patio surrounded by manucured gardens to enjoy the evening breezes. Oh and did I mention the hot tub? Clean and inviting just right for a day of hiking. You are right at home here and just a short walk to the shops and restaurants at the harbor. Thanks again Mary for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back!
