Days Island, easily reachable, is a quiet community close to Tacoma. The house is inviting from the street, and has convenient parking, several outdoor places to hang out in decent weather, and the view from indoors or out is breathtaking. We two couples (sisters and husbands) had great fun sipping adult beverages and watching boats, barges, birds slide by, seals pop their heads up and cormorants dive. The large backyard leads to the water, and is a fine spot for outdoor games or watching sunsets. There is a well-equipped kitchen, a gas barbeque grill, scads of games and lots of ideas for local activities. The beds are quite comfortable and there's a ton of bedding and towels and such provided. The biggest attraction is the knock-your-eyes out view. The other big attraction is your host, Jane. She is readily accessible by text, helpful, friendly. The house is old and quirky, with some hard miles on it. So if you are after a 5-star hotel, this ain't it. The bedrooms are on the third floor, one up from the street level: a king room with the best view, a queen room, a dinky single and a shared bath. At entry level are the kitchen, an adjacent bathroom/laundry (which, amusingly, also holds the dishwasher), a large dining room, breakfast room, large living room and an office. On the lowest floor is a huge family-type room with queen bed and bath. Shopping, restaurants and attractions are close at hand. Recommended.

We loved this place! The views from the home were stunning. Our kids loved the backyard and going out the water when the tide was out. The location was great, and it made for the perfect family get-away with my in laws, brother, and two kids. This is a really special spot with the most amazing owners who we were fortunate enough to meet! Thanks for such a wonderful stay.

We loved our stay. House was clean and beds were comfortable. Every room offered a vista of the Puget Sound. Sunsets were spectacular and we found ourselves drawn to the back lawn. If we’re ever back in the neighborhood, we’d surely pick this home.

Very cool older property in a quiet neighborhood with a gorgeous location on the water. Our family of 5 used this house as a base for exploring Seattle for a few days and found it clean and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing by the water and watching the seals swim by while watching the sun set over the Olympics. Host reached out before our arrival via text to let us know she would be available should we need anything. You could tell that this house has been a family home for years, which gave us a much better vibe than just a rental property. Highly recommend

This was the most charming home in a beautiful and cozy neighborhood. Everything was just as described. We had an amazing stay and hope to be back one day!

Property was beautiful, right on the water and the host was very kind and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay would come again. There’s not enough kind words to use, but my two kiddos had a blast

Wonderful Easter weekend with family at this beautiful property on the water with unbelievable sunsets and an amazing view of the Olympics. Host was excellent. House was well stocked. We will definitely be back!

The house and location were perfect for our family trip! Thanks to our host Jane for being so accommodating!
