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.

Beautiful Puget Sound

We thoroughly enjoyed the views of the sea life, Mt Rainier and walkability of our stay here. Jim & Erin were great hosts, always helpful and communicative. We stayed two months, so lots of mail and packages that they helped us with. Thanks for a great stay!

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.

Great vacation property!

We had a wonderful stay here! From the moment our family arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness, amenities, and attention to detail in the space. The house has almost everything you need and we felt at home during our stay. The check-in process was seamless. I appreciated the clear communication and instructions provided by the host. The host is friendly, helpful, and provided good suggestions on local activities. The location is convenient so you can easily travel around the area. The view is great; there is so much to see! We enjoyed having coffee on the upper deck in the morning and seeing the lights from the hot tub at night. We really enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife and walking along the shore! We highly recommend this home and would stay here again!

Solo Easter vacation

I truly enjoyed your home. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home. Every night as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell asleep and woke up to the birds chirping and seals greeting me. I danced in the kitchen making my dinners and baking my cinnamon sweet bread. The weather was beautiful couldn’t believe I got a sunburn in 56 degree weather but I didn’t want to stay in I combed the beaches and saw crabs, little eels, hermits under the rocks . I saw seal’s playing and greeting me so chilled. I saw 2 orcas playing in the distance enjoyed the hot tub. Overall it’s the best vacation I’ve had in years. Thank you again. God bless

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.

Beautiful and relaxing

We celebrated my fiancé’s birthday and boy was it a treat. The kitchen was instrumental in creating a beautiful dinner, we hot rubbed until we were prunes, watched seals from bed and explored the beach at low tide. 10/10 and worth every penny!

One to Remember

This rental is stunning! We slept backwards in the bed as to look over the harbor to witness the huge cargo ships passing during the night. There is a set-up literally at the water where we had coffee at sunrise and wine at sunset. There was a sea lion whom we named Tod. We was always in site. We also were witnesses to small oracles. Nice living area inside. Fully stocked kitchen. Huge windows facing the harbor through out. We highly recommend!

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.

Wanderlust

This has been a home away from home! We wish we could have stayed much longer but timing got in the way. We would definitely make a return trip here when we are back in Tacoma. We can’t say enough about this house, its setting and the peacefulness of its surroundings. From booking to check out, the communication and handling of this property was second to none. Smooth all the way. You’ll love the views, the entire house was filled with everything you would need to enjoy a great experience. We highly recommend Wanderlust!

Puget Sound Gem

This beautiful home is like a luxury yacht suspended above Puget Sound. From the dining room and the master bedroom it feels as though you could just drop right into the sound. Everything is modern, pristine and beautiful - appliances, furniture, bathroom surroundings, linens, etc. are all highly functional and tastefully arranged. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. We stayed here for three days with my elderly mother and two young adult sons, and entertained some local relatives for a grilled dinner on the bulkhead one evening, topped off by s’mores in the fire pit. Everyone loved it. Stand-up paddle boards and kayaks were a fantastic amenity for exploring the sound and nearby beaches. Local birds and seals entertained us as we dined. A wonderful spot for a respite from the world!

Awesome place great people

The homeowner(s) were great people and stayed in close communication the whole time to ensure that our stay was pleasant and even give a few tips about where to possibly go fishing or crabbing. The home was everything we wanted and more. We’re already planning to come back for another stay and would absolutely recommend this home and the owners to anyone!

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.
