This roomy 6 bedroom home is new to the vacation and corporate rental market. It has been designed with you in mind. 6 bedrooms, open kitchen, private den, living room, fireplace seating area, laundry and 3 bathrooms allow you the privacy and space you need to enjoy your time in Tacoma. ((Please take a moment to watch the video)The large picture windows provide breathtaking views of the Bay and Old Town Tacoma. Lay in bed and watch the ships come in to port. The spacious property provides plenty of room to gather outside on one of the two balconies or lawn areas and enjoy your time. Shoot some basketball while others are enjoying an outdoor meal. Rainy days in Tacoma are beautiful when seen gazing out the window from in front of the cozy fireplace. The firework show from your balcony on the fourth of July is nothing short of amazing. We made sure to pick out new comfortable mattresses for all six of the bedrooms. Coffee maker, large TV, washer and dryer and all the kitchen items you will need to make yourself at home during your stay.

Although we no longer live at this home, we have decided to keep it in the family and share it with others for vacation, short term rental or business travel. You will love this home and this setting and we will love knowing that you are enjoying it.

Our stay at this location was wonderful. We had ten adults who were able to have a bedroom. The bathrooms were enough for us all to share. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. We spent one week in this location and it was as described in the details. The house was very clean and had all amenities that we needed. The view of the Sound is amazing. Loved having binoculars to look for whales. Ann was quick to respond before our stay with questions I had. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable!

This property was so nice. The whole family came for our daughter’s graduation. There is room for everyone. We had 11 adults and a four year old and four cars (with room for at least two more). Grocery stores were very close by as well as restaurants and coffee shop. If you plan to do any cooking and have left overs, you may need foil, plastic wrap, or ziplocs. The coffee grinder and coffee pot were A+. We replaced a few skillets that were at the end of their life and were reimbursed!

The pictures of the house were great and it didn't disappoint in real life. My family and I had a great time. Our host was excellent - great communication. Very clean, great neighborhood. There were 9 of us and it fit us very comfortably. We were able to walk to a few restaurants and bars. Museums nearby (a short drive). Overall a great stay. We'd definitely recommend this place and would stay there again. Total thumbs up!

This was a wonderful place for a gathering. Beautiful house with breathtaking view! Very responsive hosts, Daily adventures and hikes. But the kitchen was amazing. We cooked all our meals together because we love cooking! And there was every kind of cooking implement we needed! Everything was perfect!

Our family enjoyed our fall visit to the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful views from a historic location. The owners were so easy to work with and shared plenty of helpful tips. Be sure to budget time for coffee on the porch each morning - it’s just breathtaking.

Our family rented this house when we came to Tacoma for our son’s wedding and we couldn’t be happier… the house was meticulous, the views amazing and the owners easy to communicate with. We were able to walk almost everywhere and really enjoyed the neighborhood

We had such a wonderful time staying at 106 Orchard. There were 7 of us including an infant and a 4 year old. We all loved having coffee on the porch every morning watching the ships go by. You can even see the top of Rainier on a clear day! The host, Annie, was incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. Check in and checkout were smooth and easy. We really cannot say enough great things about this home and we hope to return in the future. One small thing— the train is pretty loud in the mornings so I’d recommend running the fan or bringing earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

We were in Tacoma for a family wedding. We filled most rooms with family, and had a couple of friends of the bride use the extras. It was big enough for everyone to have space.
We had a small party after the rehearsal, and all sat on the downstairs balcony to watch the city, the bay and the mountains.
The kitchen was well-appointed (we never cooked a dinner), and filled all our needs.
We racked our brains to see if there was anything negative about the house, and didn’t think of any.
But it’s the view that makes the house; if I returned for another week, I’d plan some mornings and evenings to just sit on one of the balconies and watch Old Town and Commencement Bay. We saw an eagle, a sailing regatta, cargo ships, and even had a couple of Ranier sightings. Can’t recommend the house strongly enough!

Our extended family came to Tacoma from around the country to spend time together. This home was perfect for enjoying one another's company and the beautiful scenery. With two decks, we enjoyed the picturesque views of Puget Sound and Commencement Bay, and loved watching a nesting bald eagle.
The house itself was well appointed and the bedrooms were roomy. It got a little hot in July without AC, but open windows created a good breeze at night. There is a second unit in the basement of the house, but outside of the car, we heard or saw nothing.
Annie, the property owner/manager, could not have been more responsive and helpful throughout our stay. She was great to work with!
10.0 / 10.0
Home has character, so not a new home but fully updated with new appliances, carpet, etc. Bring binoculars to view the activity in harbor from the balconies or porch or many windows.
Owner has a book with their own favorite things to do, or call owner who is happy to answer any questions or give up-to-date feedback.

We stayed home and grilled for dinner multiple nights because no one wanted to leave the patio! The home is clean, comfortable and inviting—a perfect place for the family to celebrate a college graduation. The water view framed with lush landscaping is entrancing. Thanks Annie!

This house was perfect. Stunning views of the harbor, comfortably furnished and well-stocked kitchen; it is everything you could look for in a vacation rental. Conveniently located near shops, restaurants and grocery stores, and Annie is the best owner to date we’ve worked with. She answered all our questions and went above and beyond when my niece and nephew locked us out of the house. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer house or better location. Would come back and stay again. Loved Tacoma, Seattle and Mt Ranier national park, and this house is convenient to visiting all of that. All around wonderful!!

Located in a very safe neighborhood, Easy to find, Clean, plenty of parking. Accommodated our large family perfect, attending an Event at the Tacoma Dome. Beautiful view, close to eating places, would have liked to spend time around old Tacoma so will plan that for next time. Loved our stay, Kids and Grandkids all want to return.

I rented this house for out of town family members visiting for my wedding. It was close to our venue and plenty of dining options. Communication was timely and so helpful during this stressful time. My family loved the house. The pictures don’t really do justice to the actual views from two of the bedrooms. It is an older house, but it is clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is one of the best in the city. The only thing I would say is that if you have more than 3 cars, parking is going to be an issue because you have a circular driveway; and the house is down an old, narrow road that may be difficult if you have a large truck type vehicle. For context, we drove Camrys and a Durango and navigated just fine.
10.0 / 10.0
What a perfect vacation house for our extended family looking for a short drive from Seattle in a quiet neighborhood with magnificent, unobstructed water view! The house is amazingly spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking up quick family meals (complemented by takeouts). Sitting out on the porch for meals and feeling the sea breeze during the region's record setting heatwave with temperature in the mid-high 90s actually made the stay even more memorable. Several electric fans were already set up when we arrived (Thanks, Annie!). Opening the large windows after the temperature had peaked helped dissipate the residual indoor heat, and our night sleep was nothing but the best! There are several wonderful places for takeouts - Northern Fish Products (cooked whole crabs and fish-n-chips), Indo Asian Street Eatery, and Pomodoro. Would love to return again!
