The Port of Tacoma, to the south, and a small local shopping center at Browns Point, will meets all of your vacation needs. ( Even a barber, pub, Asian take out ,and mail center.)You can walk to three restaurants or get take out ,if cooking , in a full kitchen and the grocery shopping is not in your overall plan.
Relax, and enjoy a bottle of fine wine, or a cup of famous Seattle coffee, and relax in this stunning and private setting with Olympic mountain and Puget Sound views. Most of the year, this home has colorful ,well groomed and tended grounds. It is the location for the best NW sunsets! OMG, Sunsets.


This is a 4 bedroom , 2. & 1/2 bath ( with bonus lower level and a 4th bed/ "bedroom can sleep up to 8. ( maybe 10 if at least 2 are children)Note: the Master Bedroom & Bathroom is 6 steps up above so your responsible no the main floor which has two bedrooms. A sophisticated home,with hardwood floors and rugs , it exudes a private sense of historic and architectural grandeur from the moment you open the door.


It is also a very bright home, lots of windows with an ever changing water views of sailboats ,and large cargo ships headed out to Asia.,
Enjoy passing clouds coming onto the mainland from the southwest. Ocean Liners quietly glide in/out of Port, and spectacular lingering sunsets to the west.

This Dash/ Browns Point sunset home , on a sunny day , has a Billion dollar view of snow capped mountains and gorgeous sunsets over Puget sound... the perfect backdrop for entertaining, meditating ,and relaxing.

The home is the kind of place you will love to visit all year round - It has portable AC to augment natural air-conditioning off the coastline, with fans for summer and an central heating for winter - and space heaters

Each season has it's charm. Winter is the time to live like a local with a “real” fireplace .

Spring bloom in the yard,, Summer roses, and Autumn is magical with fall color ,and with new snow on the distant peaks until June. Autumn has warm hues from late September until- late October.

Seattle summers are spectacular with just minutes to Tacoma's waterfront district beach front and fabulous restaurants on Ruston Way , or drive north to experience Seattle's downtown Pike Place Market and waterfront. Two prime NW beaches are within walking or biking distance away.. To the east is Federal Way.

Consider a trip up to Mt. Rainier.
In case some days you do not want to go anywhere, you can enjoy the impressive terraced garden decks, which is definitely the hallmark of this property., which creates the desire to remain outside ,relaxing and listening to birds sing .. A magical place surrounded by nature ( eagles and sea birds) and manicured grounds.

Locally.., It is a short walk to the old historical lighthouse and the large waterfront beach park. A small shopping center with a market, bar and grill, dry cleaner, mailbox service and a pizza/Indian restaurant are close. Dash Point State Park is great for picnics, hikes and beach combing.

Beautiful location and home!

Very nice location for our family needs. The home was very comfortable, felt like visiting a friends home! We are not fans of ultra hotel type rentals, so for us it was just perfect. We had all the things we needed in the home. Host super responsive when we had questions. The roses and raspberry bushes were icing on the cake for us. Highly recommend for families as well, the layout of the house is amazing! Love the mid century vibes through out!

Very Relaxing

This is the 2nd time staying here and it is very relaxing. We loved sitting on the upper deck watching the sunset. The kithen had everything we needed and the living room very cozy and comfortable. We felt secluded because it is so quiet yet everything is so close by which was very convenient for us. At one of our visits we had a dog and the downstairs room was perfect. Both David and Paige are great to work with.We will definitely staying there again!

SPECTACULAR

Start with the drive in, you think you are in the wrong area, but when you arrive, the view in person is better than the picture in the description of the property. Homey, inviting, relaxing, mesmerizing views. If you are going for vacation, this time of year was just sheer BLISS. If you are looking at this property, do not pass it by. The property owner even checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our stay and if there was anything we needed. So gracious. Not going into too much detail, David went above and beyond for a request we had, as I was visiting my daughter that I had not seen in 2+ years. We are not letting anymore time go by, we are already planning for another visit to see my daughter in 2 months, if given the opportunity, we know where we will be staying. Need to mention, my daughter has a large service dog, weight not an issue with the owner. If I may just add a personal note to others; a service animal is a vital part to a veteran, disabled person, blind, etc., please do not use your "family animal" claiming a service animal just so you can take them on vacation. A service animal has specialized training, if your animal is on the furniture, it is a family pet. Other than my rant, this home is an A+.

"Can't judge a book by it's cover"

Beautiful home, love the hardwood floors & area carpets. Disappointed there was no access to WiFi as stated it would be available in the amenities. In addition, there was no access to the washer & dryer since door to downstairs was locked. It was initially creepy & surprising that an individual was staying downstairs, only to find out later it was the owner. Considering the cost per night, it seems sets of matching towels for availability would be in order instead of assortment of random beach towels/?bath towels which we ended up taking them to wash because of the odor. It was also disturbing that the smoke alarms chirped or continued to loudly ring and no fire, smoke, etc was on. Attention to the ants in the house. Consider improved lighting in the master bedroom & bathroom as there is a beautiful large mirror in the bathroom, however the area is too dark for it to be useful. We've stayed in many VRBO homes that were absolutely gorgeous and simple amenities (welcome bottle of wines, fruit, local chocolate candies, washer & dryer, WiFi, local suggestion list for eating, plush towel sets, and so forth) that certainly made the stays that much more enjoyable. Thanks for letting us stay at this home as it was basically average home that has the potential of being fantastic.

Great location on Brown's Point. Beautiful neighborhood and easy walk to some local stores as well as short drives to Tacoma amenities. As always with Seattle, you hit some .ajor traffic getting from the property to downtown, so if you're looking for a downtown Seattle stay, this may not be ideal.But if you want to explore Tacoma and Seattle, and want to be in a great neighborhood, this is a perfect home.

Great gathering spot

My friends and I stayed here during a trip to support a friend whose mother had just passed. It was a great place to reflect, laugh, and cry. We loved sitting on the deck and outdoor table/chairs to take in the view and the beautiful sunsets, and by the fireplace at night when it got chillier. We also enjoyed the foggy mornings, with the sounds of the foghorn from the lighthouse. This place was just what we needed -- a serene gathering spot, but not too far from great restaurants in Tacoma.

Beautiful sunsets

We really enjoyed an intimate family gathering with beautiful Sunsets. The location was great for our purposes and we found time to relax and unwind and hike catching up over coffee and nice meals. We chose to use the kitchen to prepare our own meals instead of eating at restaurants all weekend. The kitchen was equipped with all the things we needed to be able to cook. That made our experience more enjoyable with several family members with different food sensitivities and allergies. We did notice that the kitchen could use a few polishing touches, like a knife sharpener, some new pots and pans, and some minor reorganization. None of these things took away from our experience, and could really set the next guests up for an even better time. We did notice ants throughout the house.

Beautiful views, but listing not accurate

This property had beautiful views and multiple areas to gather with the family. Unfortunately, the listing says the bedrooms all have king size beds and a Queen downstairs. The main floor bedrooms only had queen beds and the basement had a full-size bed. The larger beds were part of the reason I chose this property, so I was unhappy with the incorrect listing info. The host wanted us to open doors to cool down the house, but there are no screen doors or screens on windows and bugs were abundant. This would be a good home to visit when it is not so hot outside!

Fantastic Sunsets

We stayed here for a week. The home was spacious with bedrooms on multiple levels. The master bath had an amazing shower along with double sinks. We planned on cooking outside on the grill. The existing grill was no longer working, but David (property owner) delivered a brand new grill the very next day. The sunsets looking out over the water and behind the mountain view were gorgeous as advertised. The home had a nice yard, plenty of outdoor seating, lots of flowers and even a raspberry bush in the front with ripe berries. We’d definitely stay here in the future.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
When there are no guests booked, the owner occasionally enjoys the home when he is in Seattle area. He spends a lot of time in the Coachella Valley, in the Southern California desert and travels for work all around the State of Washington. To make sure you have all needs met, Paige , a local to Browns Point and full-time resident is the touch- base manager who will be overseeing your stay.

Why they chose this property

You will get a lot more for your money and enjoy privacy and quiet. It is "off the beaten track" of "Seattle proper" the back southern door into the City: of Seattle and Tacoma. It is a quiet beach town community... yet so close if you need a large shopping mall..( " and traffic of Federal Way) The neighborhood is very safe for walking and exploring ..Browns Point is a place you will want to come back to to "re-charge".

What makes this property unique

The home has a view that is unsurpassed. It faces to the west and watches the Seattle weather approach from the SW. It is quiet with two decks with views and a mature gorgeous yard "meant for strolling", You can walk to the small community shopping center just down the street. The iconic "Cliff House" restaurant is also within walking distance for superb views of Commencement Bay, Tacoma to the South and Mt. Rainier to the SE.
