An important question for me when renting a vacation property is “would I do it again?” The answer for this property is definitely yes.My wife and I, our 3 adult children and their partners, and our 3 ½ year old grandson stayed for 5 nights in September. The house had ample room for all of us including gathering, cooking, sleeping, and baths. The view is gorgeous and was enjoyed by all. Large deck, clean grill, really all you would want for a family vacation.Some highlights:Very cleanAmple roomExcellent bath and sleeping arrangements2 nice large screen TV’sGreat laundry facilitiesPlenty of games and kids toysNearby to Whole Foods, Costco, TJ’sGreat park right next door with playground, walking paths, and a golf courseNearby restaurantsEasy access to coastal communities like Gig Harbor

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 I’m thrilled your family enjoyed our University Place vacation home — from the spacious layout and Puget Sound views to the nearby park and golf course. It’s great to hear the home’s setup and location worked perfectly for your group. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay! 🌟
We really enjoyed our time at this property with 3 generations spending the Labor Day Holiday. The unassuming and quiet neighborhood give way to a beautifully appointed home with large living space, comfortable bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, and best of all the beautiful views from the large deck and living room. The kitchen has everything we needed to prepare meals and lots of options for morning beverages.You are just a short walk to Chambers Bay public golf course with lots of trails, playground, and green space leading to the water. Emmy was communicative without being obtrusive and does a nice job of making the place feel like home.We would definitely consider a return with family or friends.

We had a gathering for a Memorial. The property is beautiful and the view is spectacular. We did a lot of food prep for the event and the kitchen was supplied with everything we needed. Our entire party was impressed with the property. I highly recommend it.

I'm so glad our home provided a beautiful and well-equipped space for your gathering. 😊 The views really are something special! Thank you for your kind words and recommendation—it would be a pleasure to host you again.
This house is one of the best we have rented. It was very clean, had all the amenities we needed, plenty of rooms and bathrooms and the view was excellent. We were happy with the location as it was very quiet and easy to get around the Tacoma area. Emmy was very responsive as we only ran into one issue with the hot water heater not functioning correctly. She was able to fix that issue remotely although we did have it happen again the next day. I would definitely recommend staying at this home as we enjoyed our time here.

We are a group of six adults. The house was perfect. Well stocked with anything you need. The house was perfectly clean and newly remodeled. The kitchen and bathrooms were really nice. We spent most of our time in the living room enjoying the expansive amazing view. We would rent this house again.

If you are looking for a high-end BUSINESS offsite location for executive or leadership meetings that feels both productive and restorative, this is it. We will absolutely be returning.This was hands down one of the best offsite experiences we’ve ever booked. We needed a space close enough to avoid the friction of travel but elevated enough to create real separation from day-to-day distractions. This property delivered on both.It struck the perfect balance between a luxury retreat and a highly functional meeting environment. The setting immediately shifted our leadership team into a more focused, strategic mindset, while still offering the comfort and aesthetic of a vacation. It genuinely felt like a retreat, not just another meeting venue.From a productivity standpoint, this was the best money we’ve spent. We were able to hold uninterrupted, high-impact working sessions without the time loss and fatigue of long travel. The layout supported collaboration, privacy when needed, and seamless flow between work and downtime.The host was exceptional. Communication was real-time, clear, and proactive. Every question or request was handled immediately, which removed friction and made the entire experience feel effortless. The flexibility and responsiveness alone set this property apart from anything we’ve used before.
Emmy was a great host. Prompt responses, and timely communication.
The house was great with amazing views, games to keep everyone entertained, and stocked really well with both utensils that we’d need and coffee.
Great experience overall

Thank you, Lori, for the wonderful review. I am so pleased that you were able to enjoy the views and even walking around the area in the extreme cold spell we had here!
We enjoyed our stay at this house and would happily stay there again. We loved the view of the water, and then it got even better when the weather cleared so that we could see the mountains. The house was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with calming decor throughout. There is off-street parking for multiple vehicles, and even access to the garage (so nice when it was raining). Plenty of restaurants just a short drive away. All in all, it was a wonderful, relaxing place to stay.

About the host
Hosted by Emmy
I’m a California native currently living in Washington. I enjoy remodeling homes and figuring out how small design changes can make a space work better and feel more welcoming. Hosting has become a natural extension of that. My goal is to create a comfortable place where friends and family can gather and make memories. I stay closely involved and want every guest to have a great stay, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because my sister and mom live in University Place, and I wanted a home where family could gather and that would be mobility-friendly for my mom to visit. It’s a quiet residential area that feels peaceful and relaxing while still being close to the Puget Sound. Just one block away is a park with a playground and scenic walking paths overlooking the water, and the trails eventually lead down to beach access. Being near Chambers Bay Golf Course is another bonus, with its beautiful views, walking trails, and restaurant nearby.
What makes this property unique
The home was designed to be comfortable for groups gathering together. The main level is step-free, which makes it easier for guests who prefer to avoid stairs and works especially well for multi-generational families traveling together. The step-free layout makes the home comfortable for guests of different ages and mobility levels. Downstairs there is a game room that provides additional space for relaxing and spending time together.
The house sits on about a third of an acre, so the backyard feels spacious and peaceful. Deer, bunnies, owls, eagles, and seasonal frogs are often part of the natural setting, and each year a deer brings her fawn to rest in the yard during the day.
From inside the home and from the expansive deck you can enjoy views of the Puget Sound and watch ships pass by on the water (we recommend bringing binoculars). The deck is a favorite place for guests to sit outside, relax, and take in the scenery.
With the open space, views, and quiet setting, the home works well for family visits, holiday gatherings, golf trips, or simply spending time together. It’s also a great place for golf groups to relax together after a round at nearby Chambers Bay Golf Course.
