From the reviews
This looks like a converted home on the water right in Gig Harbor. We stayed in the Ranier Room which has a stunning view, spacious room with fireplace, King Bed, moderate size kitchen area and large bathroom. Great service through remote access like a VRBO that works seemless.
This was a beautiful, clean and comfortable room with a great outdoor space that included a fantastic water view. We would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed our one-night stay in the luxurious Rainier room. We picked this location based on the reviews and they were accurate. Two notes that I think would be appreciated by others that I didn’t see in other reviews: 1.
Our third stay at the Waterfront Inn. Perfect in every way! We've always had a waterfront room, which is gorgeous. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. The views from the room and waterfront deck are amazing! Great location for access to restaurants. Patsy has been super helpful and responsive.
Getting married at The Waterfront Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
