Waterfront Inn in Gig Harbor Announces Completion of Comprehensive 2023 Renovation

Historic 1918 Harbor Front Property Reveals Modernized Interiors, Luxury Guest Amenities, and Elevated Coastal Aesthetic

Gig Harbor, WA — March 15, 2023 — The Waterfront Inn, Gig Harbor’s only true harbor front lodging, is proud to announce the completion of a full-property remodel finalized in March 2023. The renovation brings a fresh, upscale design and a suite of modern guest comforts to the beloved 1918 waterfront home, while preserving the Inn’s historic character and its unparalleled relationship with the harbor.

The multi-month renovation revitalized all guest rooms, common spaces, and exterior elements, with a focus on elevating the guest experience, refining the Inn’s maritime aesthetic, and thoughtfully integrating modern amenities.

A Reimagined Harbor Front Stay

The remodel includes:

  • Fully updated guest rooms with luxury finishes, new furniture, and refreshed design

  • Renovated private bathrooms featuring contemporary fixtures and spa-like touches

  • High-end bedding and comfort upgrades in all rooms

  • Updated HVAC and climate systems for improved year-round comfort

  • Enhanced private entrances and outdoor seating areas

  • Technology improvements, including upgraded WiFi and in-room amenities

  • Refreshed exterior spaces, preserving the Inn’s historic façade while adding modern polish

Throughout the renovation, original architectural features from the 1918 home were retained as defining elements — blending Northwest heritage with refined coastal-boutique styling.

The Only True Waterfront Lodging in Gig Harbor

Situated just steps from the harbor itself, Waterfront Inn continues to offer rare amenities that remain unchanged: direct access to the water, private dock, panoramic harbor views, and a peaceful setting just moments from downtown’s shops, restaurants, galleries, and maritime history.

“Our goal was to honor this property’s roots while giving our guests a level of comfort and style that matches the beauty of the harbor,” said Kevin MacDonald, owner of the Waterfront Inn.

Boutique Luxury With Historic Charm

The remodel brings the guest rooms to a boutique-hotel standard while maintaining the quiet, personal feel that the property is known for. Updated rooms feature premium linens, gas fireplaces and private entrances (available in select rooms), individual Keurig coffee stations, mini-fridges, and views (available in most rooms) that open directly onto the harbor. Over-water deck access, free use of kayaks and the Inn’s 100-foot dock continue to offer an immersive waterfront experience.

Welcoming Guests, New and Returning

The remodel was completed without altering the Inn’s most cherished quality: its peaceful harborfront setting. Guests still wake to the sounds of wildlife, watch boats glide by, and enjoy the serene beauty that draws visitors to Gig Harbor year-round.

“Many travelers already consider Waterfront Inn their quiet place to recharge,” said Patsy Irwin, manager of the inn. “This remodel ensures that their favorite spot now feels even more special — more comfortable, more beautiful, and more aligned with the charm of Gig Harbor.”
