Waterfront Home w/views, outdoor dining & fire pit
Welcome to The Whale’s Tale by Shoreside Sanctuaries – a spacious waterfront home in Gig Harbor that’s perfect for families, groups, or anyone who enjoys great views, good coffee, and relaxing while someone else deals with the minions, I mean children. Wink wink, Ya gotta love em'!
Less than an hour from Seattle, this 3,400-square-foot home sits on nearly half an acre overlooking Mt. Rainier, Raft Island, and Henderson Bay. Whether you’re spotting orcas, grilling on the deck, or hiding with a book and a latte, you’ll have plenty of space to do your thing.
🛏️ Sleeping arrangements:
2 king bedrooms
1 queen bedroom
1 office with a queen sleeper sofa
3 full bathrooms + a half bath Real beds. Real privacy. No bunk beds or air mattresses.
🛋️ Room to relax:
The open living area has hardwood floors, big windows, a cozy bay seat, and an electric fireplace. There’s room to gather—or to escape from the group for a few quiet minutes of sanity.
☕ Coffee snobs welcome:
We take our caffeine seriously.
You’ll find a full espresso setup including:
A top notch espresso make with QR code instructions
A single-serve brewer
French press
Vietnamese phin filter
Pour-over kit
Plus plenty of mugs, so no one’s stuck drinking from a measuring cup.
🍳 Kitchen perks:
Large island, induction cooktop, granite counters, and stocked for REAL cooking. Whether you’re making seafood pasta or just plating up takeout like a pro, you’re covered.
🌿 Outdoor space:
Deck and balcony overlook a garden, fire pit, and the bay. Grill, dine outside, toss a Frisbee, or just sit back and soak it in. The private neighborhood beach is just a 5-minute walk—gate key included.
🦐 Local gems:
Minterbrook Oyster Co. is less than a mile away with fresh oysters, crab, mussels, and clams.
Minter Creek Hatchery offers a low-key nature stop and a look at local salmon.
Downtown Gig Harbor has restaurants, shops, distilleries, ice cream, and harbor tours—definitely worth a visit.
🚗 Location:
About an hour from Seattle, Olympia, and the Olympic National Forest. Whether you want a chill weekend or a full itinerary, this is a great base.
