We were in town visiting family. 3 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths was perfect for the family! This was the nicest place! It was clean and comfortable. The owner thought of the smallest details, which made our stay great! The location was close to the Hwy, making easier to get around. When I'm back for another visit, I will definitely see if this is available as my 1st choice!

About the host

Hosted by Julie M. Collison

Host profile image
Hi, I'm a mother, grandmother and local real estate broker and investor. This townhouse style duplex property is one that I had built. I live in the other side of the duplex so am available right away if you have any needs or concerns.

Why they chose this property

I have lived in the Parkland neighborhood for many years, since 1992 and love it here. 3 of my 4 kids live in Parkland and two are raising their children here. The location is such that we are close to most of the local area cities, such as Puyallup, Lakewood, Tacoma, Spanaway and Graham.
I like being close to the Transit center so that it is easy to take a bus ride into downtown Tacoma, or to the Tacoma Mall, or out to Spanaway! I hope you like it here!

What makes this property unique

My property stands out because it still feels brand new. It has only been used as a short term rental and has never been lived in full time. So when you come and visit, it's like staying in a new place! I hope you like it!
I decorated the place with the intention of renting it on VRBO. It has new beds and mattresses and I have been told that they are very comfortable!
I have it professionally cleaned between guests, so you can rest assured it will be nice and clean when you get here!
