Close enough to downtown Seattle and Tacoma, yet a world apart. This spacious home is right on the waters of Commencement Bay. You can literally fish from your kitchen!! Stroll along the beach, kayak to nearby Dash Point Park, or just enjoy the marine wildlife. While you sip your morning coffee take in the spectacular views of the Bay and its ever-changing ship traffic from your private deck.

Perfect for that romantic getaway, visiting relatives, or just a home away from home. This beautifully furnished two story home has a fully equipped high end kitchen, two upper level bedrooms(one with King size bed and the other with twin beds), 1 full bath and 1 guest bath, CATV, WIFI, washer/dryer and everything you will need for an incredible holiday!

Just 40 minutes from downtown Seattle, 10 minutes from Tacoma, no ferries, no toll bridges.....

About Roberta Woodmansee

I am from the Northwest, but have traveled extensively as I am an ex Pan Am stewardess. I enjoy sharing my part of the world with others and am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your holiday a special one.

Roberta Woodmansee purchased this House in 2000

Why Roberta Woodmansee chose Browns Point

There is something about being on the water and watching the wildlife that is very calming. I love living here and find that when I am on the water my blood pressure seems to go down and I feel a sense of serenity.

What makes this House unique

The views from the house are spectacular. I especially like the kite surfers and the sail boat regatta on Wednesday night. Fine dining is just a short walk away. There is a great pub to meet locals and drink micro beers and an elegant restaurant that attracts people from Seattle and Tacoma

Shampood carpets that smelled awful. Cobwebs. Should have informed us about the many steps to the rental. No way to get to the beach. Wouldn't recommend to older visitors as hauling luggage up and down the steps was exhausting.

Owner's Response:

What a surprise to hear about the carpets! i had no idea that there would be an unpleasant smell to the carpets after cleaning. I appreciate knowing so I can have the situation corrected. Honestly I had not noticed that there was an odor, but definitely will talk with the carpet cleaner to rectify the problem.

As to the stairs people who are older and not in good health might have difficulties. I am in my 70's and navigate the stairs without too much problem, but for some it is a consideration. There is access to the beach and perhaps I should have explained it better.

So thank you for your comments.

Very comfortable

We were thrilled with this beautiful spot. It was very peaceful and quiet. The house was clean and very comfortable. You could tell a lot of thought went into our comfort. The only warning is that there are two flights of stairs to get down to the house from the parking area. If you have trouble packing your things up and down stairs you should look elsewhere. Otherwise this spot was perfect. We were able to get to everything we came to see within an hour.

Owner's Response:

Thank you so much for your review and for the kind note that you left. Hope to see you in the future!

All the best,

Roberta

Fabulous vacation in a comfortable and nice home

We enjoyed our stay. The place exceeded our expectations. Very clean. Very nice owner, available anytime we had a question.

You could walk to eat or have a drink at nearby cafes, pizza , or just to go have a drink. Walk to nearby shops or the park. Close to bus stop that goes to pikes place. Safe neighborhood to walk around.

Beautiful place to visit.......

I love Brown's Point and would visit this area often!!!!

Owner's Response:

Hi MaryEllen:

Thanks for submitting a review. I was curious that you gave the property a 3 star rating. It would be helpful to know what you felt was lacking. I was particularly surprised since you did not actually stay in the house. Hope you had a safe trip home.

All the best,

Roberta
