This cozy little home felt Just that...home. As others have stated, clean, clean clean! Plus their were all the conveniences you would have at home. And, she left us coffee to try, teas, and snacks, plus a water filtered pitcher in the frig. A thoughtful experience. We appreciated that the property was so convenient to services, restaurants and shopping within walking distance, as well as a completely fenced yard for our dogs to be free to play (just like home!). We will definitely stay here again on our next visit, should it be available. Thank you Nora for a wonderful experience.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely home during a road trip. The house was very clean, the location was great (walking distance to shops, restaurants, walking path along the harbor), and the host (Nora) was so lovely! There were so many great touches that made the stay feel like a home away from home! 10/10 recommend

We were in town for a conference and some down time. This small house was well stocked with everything we needed and location was great for access to park, old town, ferry and Rustin Point. Neighborhood seemed safe.
It was quite hot for a few days and the air conditioners though quite noisy were a great benefit!

Nora is absolutely amazing! This was my first Verbo and it absolutely did not disappoint! We came to Seattle for my daughter’s appointment and needed a nice place to stay and close to everything! This place is so clean and beautiful!! Nora really thought of everything!! Definitely will be staying here again!! The kids enjoyed the back yard and the games she provided for when it rained!

We found this Ruston cottage to be clean, inviting and stocked with everything a person (or their dog) could need, again! This was our 2nd time renting this cute little house and last time was our very 1st vacation rental by owner, of any sort. We've rented several in the past year and I can now say, with some authority, this one is top notch!! Easy and accommodating communication with Nora. She takes her business seriously, you can tell and it shows. The house both times has been clean, clean, sparkling clean. The backyard has been wonderf for our pooch and our friends slept again on the sofa bed. Worked out great for all of us attending the Daffodil Festival!

My daughter lives in Tacoma with her husband, two littles and a dog, so there isn't much room left at their house. I found this on VRBO and it was absolute perfection. It is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood and has a large back yard. Nora is so thoughtful; this place has everything that you could need; small jars of q-tips, cotton balls, tea, hot chocolate, etc., etc. It is immaculately clean and beautifully set up. I have found a home away from home and will not look for anywhere else to stay when I am in Tacoma.

It was perfect. My parents live in Ruston, and we needed a spot to stay with our dog. Excellent accommodations, great fenced in backyard, and amazing attention given for every need for people and dog.

Nice clean and comfy spot near point defiance park in Tacoma or not far from University of Puget Sound Nice living room kitchen bedroom and bath set up. Was perfect for me traveling alone or would be great for two people sharing the bedroom. The kitchen was modern, the laundry room was nice to have although I didn’t use it. Very nice spot in Tacoma I’ll definitely book it again next time work takes me to Tacoma.

Very clean and great for my doggy. There's a fenced backyard, very close to a lovely seaside park with trails and open fields. Near a great co-op, close to DT Tacoma.

Oh my gosh, where to begin! This was an amazing find in every way! The owner, Nora, was wonderful—she communicated clearly and quickly. The cottage was beautiful and extremely clean! The bed was cozy, the kitchen was great, the backyard was a nice surprise too… and even had lawn darts! Nora thought of everything! I just can’t rate this high enough, so we will definitely be back!

This was our first VRBO experience and I can't imagine a better intro. This cute little place was just as advertised but had so many thoughtful extras. Nora seemed to think of everything! She was easy to communicate with and very accomodating. If you stay here you won't be sorry. Check out the Antique Sandwich shop around the corner. It's got a hippy throwback vibe and wonderful food.
