What a fantastic independent living community! My father in law recently moved here and it’s been great. He loves it and we love to visit! The staff are all very kind and jovial. The facility and its amenities are amazing. Lots of shared space which it great to hang out in when our family visits. And the best part is we can join my father in law for a three course meal in the dining area. It’s an awesome place to live and visit.

Went to tour Holiday Peninsula with Lora. First of all she was an absolute delight. She knows a lot about Gig Harbor living and engages well with the residents that live there. The facility was very active and beautiful with some of the biggest apartments I have seen in an independent living facility. Got to meet and talk with a resident that loves the food and people in him community.
