Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Little Tides property. It has ample space, a nice clean refrigerator, two bathrooms, amazing king bed, a stove (though we didn't use it). We appreciated having the washer and dryer to use for our stay. Donna was great to work with if we had any questions or little concerns that were handled promptly. We would love to stay again if we are in the area.

Summary: Part of the charm of Little Tides is the funky 40’s-50’s vibe. The kitchen works. We would appreciate the addition of a toaster and a blender. Also, weirdly enough, there was only one coffee cup, ironically a local freebie. The wicker sofa needs an upgrade on the cushions. The TV did not work—no signal, no channels. We tried twice. Also, the electrical outlets on the long wall are ancient—they will not hold a plug. They need to be upgraded. In spite of all this, we will go back. Little Tides is within miles of our family and very convenient. The property is beautiful!

Summary: We enjoyed the roomy bedroom which included a cute mini kitchen, sitting area, and half-bath. The view was awesome! What was surprising is that the area is upstairs, inaccessible to handicapped persons. Full bath downstairs and nice office space. We did not attempt communication with the property manager but had to rate that in order to submit the review.

Summary: The view is incredible. You are just a steps away from walking on the beach when the tide is low. Peaceful and enjoyable. The only bad was very tiny kitchen but easy to with. And GPS will take you to the wrong place because it zones in on the house not the street address. Keep eyes peeled for address!

Summary: This was a great spot, very comfortable accommodations with beautiful view of the water. Carport very very tight even for our small VW and there is zero lighting down steep driveway to house. Otherwise great stay.

Summary: How lucky were we to spot three open nights at Little Tides in Gig Harbor just as we needed a getaway? This little house was perfect: comfy bed, cozy linens, kitchenette for coffee and small bites. We soaked in the views, combed the pebbly beach both high tide and low, and did some low-key exploration and recreation nearby by bike, car, and kayak. We're almost always looking for a new spot to explore, but Little Tides will definitely be on our list for a second visit. (Special hooray to the management who quickly responded and saved us from certain death by delivering the coffee that must have walked away to enjoy the gorgeous views itself.)

Summary: Gorgeous little place, but some confusion around the shared yard (and access to beach). So that you know - all the lawn is entirely shared. The deck and that grill on the large desk belongs to the main house, while the small house has its own grill. Don’t let millennials or rental managers scared of angry tenants tell you any differently. That yard and gorgeous view belongs just as much to the small house as it does the large house. Enjoy!

Summary: A very quiet and cozy little place. The bed, bedding and towels were luxurious and very comfortable; They looked brand new. Place was immaculate and charming with its retro appliances. If sensitive to smells, it has an old house smell and bathroom has a sewer gas smell. Nothing we couldn’t live with though for the short amount of time we were there. Shower is tiny so if your a bigger size keep that in mind. My husband is a slim 6’ and kept hitting his elbows on the shower door trying to wash up. The house was freezing cold upon arrival but that would be an easy remedy to have house cleaner turn heat on. Appreciate there was a fan in the bedroom as I am used to having one going when I sleep! We were disappointed there was no beach to speak of, water was high. Had looked forward to strolling on it. So keep that in mind if it’s a big reason your looking for something along the water. I wouldn’t especially stay there unless the beach was guaranteed to be available. Otherwise it’s just staying in a glamified garage a long drive from Seattle.
