We came to Tacoma for a wedding. The property is in a great area, Smith’s grocery just down the road, great restaurants. The view is unbelievable. The amenities in the VRBO already stocked. We will be back for sure. Thank you for a great stay with family.

Excellent.

This place was exactly what we needed for a home base for our trip to Seattle. Close enough to Seattle for day trips and the feel of home for the night. The bay window was a great place to sit and view the Sound below. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The owners thought of every little detail even down to Q-tips in the bathrooms. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved this property in Tacoma. The views are expansive and the location just up the hill from Old Towne was great. The property was well appointed and the communication from the owner was the best of any that we've experience staying in VRBO properties. We'll stay here again if our travels take us back to Tacoma.

I could live every day of the rest of my life in that big circle chair that overlooks the water. This house was beautiful, easy to find, well maintained, well stocked, clean, and just down right nice. We loved our stay here and only wish it could have been longer. The property was very safe and Rebecca was an extremely generous host accommodating our extra needs.

We loved this apartment! So comfortable, stylish and updated, and we appreciated the AC, since we hit a couple of Tacoma's hotter days. Be prepared for some stair climbing to this upper level unit and maybe plan accordingly with duffle bags instead of rolling suitcases. Well worth it for the beautiful view of the sound! I always love staying in a location where there are nearby cafes & restaurants, and it was an easy walk down the hill to Anthem, a cool little coffees shop bistro, and just a little further to Starbucks and the Spar, which serves breakfast lunch and dinner. We checked out the Job Carr Cabin and Museum just down the hill and happened to hit a weekend when they were running a history walk about early immigrants to the neighborhood. Fascinating! Be prepared for good incline walking back uphill to the apartment! (We appreciated the exercise!) We had dinner at the new McMenamin's at old Tacoma Elks Lodge, which is a short drive away and would highly recommend that. Couldn't leave without a visit to Point Defiance Zoo and Point Ruston, so we had a great weekend! We appreciated the quick replies to any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this location!

Not enough can be said about about how great this property is. The place was extremely clean and very well kept. The location was within walking distance of many things to do and see or a very short drive to many of the best waterfront restaurants Tacoma has to offer. The only challenging part was the parking behind the house, but there’s plenty of options to park elsewhere. If coming to the Tacoma area, this is the place to stay, you will not regret it. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful views, very well appointed and clean. Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I wouldn’t recommend for families with young children though as the furniture was mostly glass.

I received an update on how to get into the house after booking. When I arrived I was blown away how close this place was to downtown Tacoma. The front living spaces had a tremendous view that just had me sitting back and looking outside while listening to music. The amenities were awesome with great decor, appliances, with places to sit and feel comfortable. Everything in the house felt new, clean and recently remodeled. It was exactly what my friends and I needed for a weekend night away from Seattle.
The owner was super friendly and when I had questions via text about the establishment and nearby areas for recommendations; she was super friendly and quick to answer.
I highly recommend this establishment and will definitely try to get this place again when I come down south.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Our stay began with outstanding communication from Bradley. When we arrived, we found an immaculately clean condo with an amazing view. Every little detail had been handled including Keurig coffee pods, salt and pepper, and toiletry items that we might have forgotten. To top it off, the beds were wonderful!

Loved the location, being close to old town and the waterfront- the condo was somewhat noisy however, being so close to the busy road.
Overall, the unit was nicely appointed, a few stains on the furniture and my daughter felt the bathroom could have been cleaner. It was a comfortable and we had a very pleasant stay
