This stay was a breath of fresh air for our family! We saw whales, harbor seals and had access to all the places we wanted to go. The home was fully stocked with everything you need and the hot tub was the perfect end to every day! We’d spend mornings sitting on the patio watching the sea life over breakfast and coffee. We are already thinking about a return trip.

Beautiful home on the water

So clean and comfortable! Loved our stay so much! Seals visited daily and when the tide was out the crabs were fun to watch on the rocks. Cozy for napping between activities.

A Must Stay!

This was an absolutely perfect place to spend our family vacation. We have young adult children so being on the water with access to paddle boards and kayaks was amazing. Being just a short trip from Seattle or Mount Rainier made this location perfect. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were very accommodating.

Perfect escape

We had a wonderful getaway for our family of four. We were in the water, on paddle boards or kayaks, everyday. We sat and enjoyed the birds, seals and even porpoises from the bulkhead. The view was incredible from both floors of the house. It felt like a Mediterranean vacation, but in Tacoma 😂!

Amazing views

We stayed for my wife's birthday and it was amazing. We got to see the whales from the porch as well as some harbor seals that hang out just feet from the porch most of the day. We got to see 1 sea atter and a lot of birds. The sunrise and sunset was amazing. The moon came up just over the mountain. We will be getting this place again.

Stunning view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Erin is an incredibly responsive and thoughtful host. The complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival was a great touch. Pictures of the view of Mt. Rainier from the property doesn’t do it justice - we were shocked how well you can see this massive mountain. That in addition to the water and city view was incredible and made it difficult to want to leave it. Highly recommend.

Love this place!

I would have been delighted to stay all week. This place had everything we needed, including extras for our dog. It was the _cleanest_ place we’ve ever stayed, and I can say this with certainty because my dog tells me about every dried-up old food scrap she finds trapped under a stove. In this place, she was had nothing to report! The hot tub and the views were magnificent. The beds and couch were comfortable. I will 100% plan to come back the next time we are in Tacoma.

Great Stay!

We loved our stay! The house is very clean and had everything we needed while we were there. Orcas, harbor seals, ships, etc. So many things going on to look at on the water (even better looking at it all from the outdoor hot tub!). Thank you for your help and suggestions, Erin. The bottle of wine and Almond Roca that were waiting for us was so thoughtful! I would recommend this beautiful house to anyone who wants to be right on the water! 🙂
