Really cute place

Very comfortable and cozy. Was helping my daughter pack up her college dorm room so appreciated the carport to shelter my pickup bed. Wasn’t there long enough to enjoy amenities too much but having a half dozen eggs and sausage was a nice touch. Hope to stay here again soon!

Home away from home!

We stayed at the house while in town for our granddaughters 1st birthday. We entertained our family, watched movies and had fun as if we were at home. The house was warm and inviting. The bed was comfortable. We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything

Work accommodations

Beth was very friendly and welcoming. The house was spotless. We had everything we needed to cook and stay there for the four nights. The kitchen had all the utensils, pots, and pans. The water pressure in the shower was amazing. He pull out bed that I slept in was probably the most comfortable bed ever. We had a very good experience. Don’t pass this listing up.

Tacoma Treasure!

Immediately upon entering the apartment, I felt a calming vibe. As one who strives for simplicity, I appreciated the "less is more" esthetic. Our week long stay flew by fast and and we were happy that we chose to establish a "base camp" at this charming property in Tacoma!

UPS Commencement Weekend

Great location for the weekend of our daughter’s graduation from UPS. We had activities on Friday, Saturday, and the ceremony on Sunday so the property was close enough we could go back and forth as needed to catch our breath between events. We did have a car and parking in back was easy. I also was able to prepare a simple celebration brunch for five people the morning of graduation. Not a party, but plenty of room for a pretty table set with paper plates I brought. Lots of prepped food and ingredients at nearby grocers. Just a lovely experience

Tremendous all around!

We had a great time. Host was extremely accommodating. We drove a large truck that didn't fit in the car port. Neighbor was willing to move so we had room to park in their carport. All communications with host were great. The space was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you again.

Best Place in the North End

My wife and I had the most wonderful time visiting family, and Beth and Jim had so much to do with that. The VRBO was clean, homey, and exactly as advertised. Beth left us some lovely personalized touches that really made us feel welcome, as well as eggs & sausages for our first morning.We will ABSOLUTELY be returning here, and truly cannot recommend it enough. Thank you, Beth and Jim!

About the host

Jim is the craftsman who transformed this space into a beautiful daylight basement apartment. It is a charming cozy space created just for you. Jim's day job is working for a local candy company. He is originally from Denver, CO and moved to WA 2 years after marrying Beth. They have been married for over 30 years.
Beth decorated the apartment which includes stunning photographs of local sites, taken by Christopher Petrich. She loves meeting new people so hosting a VRBO apartment is a great way to do just that. She is fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and has been an interpreter for several years. She grew up in Evergreen, CO.
Jim and Beth love dogs and currently have a German Shepherd.

Why they chose this property

We chose our home because we fell in love with the Proctor District in Tacoma, WA. Everything we need is right walking distance. Just about anywhere we go by car we can see the water. Puget Sound surrounds the tip of Tacoma and is a peaceful site we are blessed to see on a daily basis.

What makes this property unique

When we bought this house we knew that some day this space would become an apartment. We originally thought our daughter with special needs would live there to be close to us, but that is no longer the need. She is an adult now and living with assistance in her home. This space is now available for you!

Peace and quiet is one of the unique benefits of living in this area. The beauty that surrounds us instills tranquility.
