About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
53’ PNW Yacht — L Y L A
The Lyla is a 53' custom boat built in 1968 in the Pacific Northwest. We offer you a stay unlike any other - step back into time for a maritime getaway. Sip your coffee and enjoy views of harbor seals, seagulls, and passing boats while docked at a historic maritime marina at Net Shed No. Fifteen.
* We decorate for the holidays! *
Pets:
Dogs are allowed subject to restrictions and an additional fee. Please review our "House Rules" at the bottom of the page for more information.
Before she retired, LYLA belonged to the a family in Bellevue. Every summer, spanning from 1968 to 2020, LYLA spent endless hours cruising the waters of the Puget Sound and beyond.
The boat has recently been completely restored - here you will find quartz countertops and beautiful woodwork throughout. The interior boasts a beautiful salon and galley with views of the harbor in every direction. The pilothouse, or mid-ship, is outfitted with a wine fridge and cappuccino/espresso machine. In addition to these amenities, enjoy sweeping views of the harbor from above deck, BBQ and lounge on the many exterior decks (season permitting), and spend time kayaking around the harbor in our complementary kayaks.
LYLA sleeps up to five people comfortably:
- The Captain's Room: has one queen size bed and closet
- The Bunk Room: has two extra long twin beds, bunk bed style
- The Pilot House: has one extra long daybed
The net shed areas on the pier, the surface area of the docks, and other boats are NOT included in this listing as they are all rented separately. Boat rental includes the use of the boat only. Of course, you are free to use the netshed, ramps and docks to enter and exit the property, use kayaks, and make your way to and from the boat you have rented. Sitting or loitering in the netshed, docks or other boats is prohibited. The restricted area is clearly marked. If you use the restricted areas additional rental fees of up to $2,000 will apply.
We are available through VRBO for any questions - we live nearby so we can assist anytime!
We want to provide the best possible stay for our guests, which is why we are available anytime! Please let us know how we can help.
Lyla is moored at a marina belonging to Historic Net Shed 15. The marina is in the center of downtown Gig Harbor - right in between the Tides Tavern and Seven Seas Brewery. Upon check-in, a list of local restaurants, coffee shops, tasting rooms, and shopping is provided. Everything you need will be within a 10 minute walk along the main street of downtown Gig Harbor, all along the water.
45 minute drive from SEA - TAC airport without any traffic.
*NOTE*
Liability Waiver:
Lyla is a boat at a marina. There will be a small amount of wave action. The ramps from the pier to the docks are quite steep at low tide. To enter the boat you must step across a gap from the dock to the boat. Also, note that the interior of the boat is a small space with tight doorways and steep stairs. This is not a good lodging choice for anyone with mobility or balance issues. By booking a stay on Lyla, you are accepting responsibility for any bodily injury that may occur as a result normal mobility around the entire property while you are on the property and on the boats. You agree to hold the owners and their associates harmless for any injuries that may occur while you are on the property.
Occasionally there will be events/celebrations in the net shed. Please feel free to walk through to access your boat. Know that we will comply with quiet hours at 10pm.
By confirming a booking you accept the following responsibilities -
Each person assumes full responsibility for their actions on the boat and around the dock/property. Life jackets are provided and to be worn at your own discretion. Renters are responsible for familiarizing their selves with all property rules and understanding the clear consequences outlined for failure to comply. (Please see "house rules" and "guest access for details")
The netshed is not part of the listing. This is the property of the Marina owners only - using this space is a violation of house rules and will be a loss of security deposit.
**The marina does have security cameras in the entry/common areas for safety and protection. There are no cameras on the boat for your privacy
