Tara, the host was immediately responsive when I reached out during check in. She offered options to help make our stay more comfortable and to make ourselves at home. We stayed 2 nights. Beds were comfy. The house was cute and clean. WiFi worked great, smart tv was convenient. Loved that there were fans in every bedroom. Small selection of snacks and toiletries were a very nice touch. Location was perfect for our needs. Close to restaurants, shopping, and Costco. Check out was easier than most rentals I’ve stayed in. We were only asked to start the dishwasher and lock up when we left.

Great place to stay!

We had a great experience booking this cute little place! It was very clean and well kept. The communication with the owner was incredible and she helped me out very much by allowing a little more time in her place while my husband was working. The check in process was a breeze and if we are ever in the area we will most definitely be booking again!

We had a fantastic stay at this home. The bathroom is a little smaller, but overall, it was perfect for our family of 3. Home is clean and well-maintained. Quiet neighborhood. Numerous dining and shopping locations are nearby and close to Wild Waves!

Location!

There is a serene feel to the property, and a park very close by. It's close to conveniences like Costco (end of the block), 1/2 Price Books, Tacoma Mall, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, Cheesecake Factory, BJ's, and more.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!This is a motel 8 disguised as a nice place. Pictures have been photoshopped to look amazing. There is no AC in the house so the owner put a window unit in the living room. This unit is left out of the photoshopped photos. But unless you want to sleep on the floor in the living room around the window unit, you mine as well sleep outside in a tent. It was 82 degrees in the bedrooms. The bathroom is the size of an RV bath. You can use the toilet, brush your teeth and shower all at the same time. The yard had grass 3 feet tall. It fit in with the neighborhood which is super sketchy. You have been warned.

Stayed five nights while working in the area. Host was very communicative when needed. House was spotless. It is an older home, so everything is smaller, rooms are smaller, etc.. towels are located in the bedrooms because there is no room in the bathroom. The bathroom sink got the biggest attention because it is literally not much bigger than your cell phone . We ended up putting the shower towel under it so that when you brushed your teeth you didn’t make a mess on their floor.. Could use hangers on the back of the doors of each room so that you had a place to put your towel. Host added extras like little snackies in the kitchen, nice extra touch. Good coffee, coffee pot, tea pot, tea and creamer/sugars to get you started, but you will need to make a trip to the store if you’re staying more than a few days. Lots of leftover items from previous tenants, spice wise, etc, which was nice. The kitchen could use serving size bowls and such. There are none. Quality of the rest of the dishware was excellent. Glassware, real plates, which is notable, we have been at other stays that had nothing but plasticware, which was not great. Price was a little high. Response to others comments on the neighborhood. The streets are extremely narrow and the neighborhood is a little confusing to get to the house after dark. Once you have it down, it’s no problem. I would say it’s a decent neighborhood overall. Overall experience was good and we will keep this as a future stay option next time.

Communications with (super)host were great and the home was a cozy little spot in an area near shopping and the mall and close enough to the highway to get around. Bathroom sink is small and makes washing your face a little awkward (think NY city bathroom), but we learned to navigate with a few extra towels. Overall very pleased with the cleanliness and functionality of this home away from home in a prime area.
