Great location and comfortable stay. Easy access to Point Ruston and Point Defiance. The corner market was very convenient. We saved a ton of money cooking at home. The kitchen had everything we needed including a French Press and an Air Fryer.

Family visit

The house was located close to family so it was very convenient for visiting. Charming cozy house that was just right for our needs. Cute neighborhood market just across the street made it easy to pick up beverages or pastries. Our dog passed away a month before the visit. The pet fee was refunded with no problem.

Lovely stay, look forward to going back!

I went with my best friend to a comedy show in Tacoma, and, with there being a drink minimum, it seemed prudent to find a place to stay and we had the benefit of stumbling across this absolute gem. Everything was incredibly clean, and I really appreciated the variety of appliances (air fryer, microwave, coffee maker, etc) or other amenities (shower, dog biscuits, creamer, coffee, etc) that were included. It just seemed so thoughtful to consider those things and having only stayed at a couple of VRBO's before, I hadn't experienced it yet, so that stood out. I also thought it was so neat to just hop over to the store catty-corner to the house to grab any little things needed. Folks there were really nice and the sandwiches great!We did unfortunately arrive and leave during a very rainy day and the slope in front of the house near where the "curb" was a tad slippery, so be careful if that is a concern for you. Aside from that, all of the instructions were helpful, everything worked well. I had a really wonderful stay and when we do come back to Tacoma, we intend to come back here and hopefully stay a few days longer.
