We stayed a week and we pretty much didn't leave the back porch! The water activity was nonstop... there were so many cargo ships, tugboats, sailboats, fishing boats & even kayaks having races. In the evening we ate dinner while watching the sunset. Front, side & backyards were charming, filled with nature & fragrant roses. Neighborhood was quiet & well maintained.
Geez... haven't even talked about the cottage!
Check-in process was effortless & walking into the secluded yard and seeing the charming cottage, we instantly felt at home. Cottage was clean, well equipped with everything imaginable & the bed was comfy.
We've just moved to Oregon & in the past we have always had "OUR" favorite place that we could escape to.
THANKS to Joe & Jenny we have found it!

This beautiful home was perfect for me and my daughter. I have yet to stay in a VBRO that was better equipped. They have thought of EVERYTHING. It was like being at home but on the water.with a SPECTACULAR view. On our very first day We were treated with a sailboat race and their turn was literally in our back yard. Joe and Jenny where the best host we could not have asked for nicer people. This spot was convenient to everything, but best of all it was peaceful and charming. I just cannot say enough, as it was a total package and I would definitely recommend it If you are in Tacoma.

Beautiful views from all rooms, so relaxing and comfortable. We’ve stayed here 3 years in a row during swim meets at Kings County aquatic center, which is a quick 10 min away. Highly recommend!

Great spot on the water
My son and I stayed for a week to attend a swim meet in Federal Way, what a great spot! The home is very comfortable, with lots of amenities. The activity on the water is really fun to watch, with ships, wildlife etc. The Diner just up the street is great as well as the Cliff House and Ginos restaurants nearby. Thank you Joe and Jenny!

Tok A Lou at Brown's Point
Joe and Jenny's house is very comfortable with amazing views of Puget Sound. It was fun to watch the different boats and ships travel along Puget Sound and the birds and seals go about their daily business. The neighborhood is very nice, quiet and peaceful as well as being centrally located within 30-45 minutes of many area attractions (Point Defiance Zoo/Aquarium, downtown Seattle, Tacoma museums, etc.). We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Joe and Jenny answered all our questions and provided a lot of information about the area (restaurants, sites, etc.) and the house. They were wonderful to work with and responded quickly to any questions. They also provided unexpected amenities upon our arrival, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. We highly recommend the beach house on Tok A Lou and the owners Joe and Jenny. This was our first time out to the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest and we absolutey loved it!

This is a magical place! Why?—the view, the activity on Puget Sound in your back yard, the humming birds, the ospreys, the seals, the sounds, the neighborhood and the comfortable house.

This house is marvelous. The views were AMAZING. We saw seals, dolphins and a bald eagle. The yard was spacious and open. The kitchen was inspiring...it made me feel like cooking. Everything was comfortable and cozy in the house from the beds to the family room. We really enjoyed our stay at this home and were sad when it was time to leave.

Adorable Panoramic Waterfront Cottage Sweeping Views - Simply Stunning
We loved our stay here. Stunning view and cozy interior. Nicely appointed kitchen. The fully enclosed front and back yards were a rare find and very helpful to allow my little Schnauzer to also enjoy his stay. It was his first time to live in a home with carpets and he was thrilled! The neighborhood is quiet with several restaurants, small store, diner, and other conveniences just blocks away. Every day the weather and view would change. I was always excited to get up in the morning and see an entirely unique waterscape. Joe and Jenny were tremendously gracious, welcoming and considerate hosts. I highly recommend this cottage home for a stay in the Seattle-Tacoma area.

Fabulous Washington Retreat
Brown's Point was our 4th rental after a fabulous 2 week vacation, and by far our favorite. House was stocked with everything we needed and we had absolutely no problems with anything. The property is absolutely gorgeous..... you could spend hours on the porch looking at the water. We loved Mr. Seal who came by everyday to visit along with the hummingbirds, and the bald eagle who would give us a fly-by a couple times per day. Great location whether you are visiting Seattle or Tacoma. Thank you to Joe and Jenny for opening their beautiful cottage to our family!

The house and yard was absolutely beautiful and the views were amazing.
Dear Joe and Jenny,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful home to stay in. Everything was so beautiful and comfortable. I don't think I have been in a more comfortable bed. We played hard during the day and it was such a pleasure to come back to your home and relax and watch the wildlife and the boat traffic. The only thing that could have made it any better at all would have been to have a longer stay! I hope you found everything in order. Thank you again Judi and family

A wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this very comfortable home. Beautiful views morning and evening. The hosts have supplied extras like spices for those who cook, and coffee available if you haven't had a chance to shop yet... Joe and Jenny are warm, welcoming and available for questions. The house is exactly as pictured, clean, well appointed, and has an incredible "home" feel, like it gives you a big hug when you walk in the door. In much need of "downtime", we chose to spent a couple of days just lounging at the house, watching the boats and were lucky to see a humpback and an orca in the sound. There is so much to see and do we couldn't be still long... If you have time to explore the area Brown's Point Lighthouse is just down the street (2 min walk), Dash Point State Park is worthy of a visit for a picnic, hike or exploring on the beach. We also took a day trip and drove to Anacortes (be sure to pick up a picnic at the Gere-a-deli before you head to the ferry) and took the ferry to San Juan Islands. Another "Must Do" activity is to take a drive over to the Snoqualmie Falls. You can either hike or drive to the lower viewing point, but I highly recommend it. We also went to see the Mariners, took a break at a cool downtown Seattle park, Occidental Square, and played table tennis. Of course Pike's Market and the gum wall.... Each Day we were thrilled to come back to this wonderful, calm, comfortable home. So very thankful we didn't have to "hotel it".
Nearby is shopping center with pvt owned small grocery, a great diner (Browns Point Diner), a bar (Sandbar) with a view, and a coffee shop(Coffee&Cream). Also, a nice restaurant a few blocks southeast that has views of Mt Rainier and a nice wine list, Cliff House Restaurant, where you can eat inside or al fresco.
Without a doubt I highly recommend Tok A Lou. Thanks again Jenny & Joe! We hope to see you again next year! ; )

Relaxing home with beautiful views.
I cannot say enough great things about this beautiful home. The views were amazing and I spent a lot of time near the large windows and outdoors watching boats go by. This place is kid friendly and our toddler had a lot of fun outside and indoors. The home is very clean and comfortable. The hosts were so accommodating and managed to provide us with a high chair for our stay. They also provided us with so many nice amenities such as flowers, bottle of wine, toiletries, etc. This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing location with beautiful views. we will definitely stay here again:)

Wonderful Stay with Gracious Hosts
My husband and I needed a place to stay while we were visiting our children and grandchildren in Tacoma. We are so happy we stayed here at Joe and Jenny's property. From the nicely-done restoration on this old house, to the extremely charming and tasteful interior design, it was the perfect place for us to unwind. It just felt so special to be there. My grandson loved the swing hanging from the tree in the front yard. The views of the water, mountains and wildlife are so soothing to the soul. So peaceful. We were very comfortable. Thank you Joe and Jenny.

Incredible Property
We stayed at this wonderful home in Browns Point and fell in love. It was quaint and in a beautiful setting. The amenities were lovely and the owners had a basket out for us with coffee, fruit and wine. We felt right at home and want to stay longer next time. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay.

What a serene and enjoyable home!
The view and the peaceful feeling that this property and home offer is unbeatable! My husband and I stayed here awaiting the arrival of our twins via a gestational surrogate. What a wonderful place to bring babies home to. Waking up each morning and looking out across the water….even the nights we were up with the babies I would look out the window and just be amazed at the beauty and tranquility of the location. We saw a double rainbow, a bald eagle, a lighting storm and lot's of seals and boats. My dog Rudy throughly enjoyed sitting out on the lawn gazing out at all the critters. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this rental to anyone wanting to escape the city, have a priceless waterfront location but still be close to all the PNW has to offer! We plan to bring the twins back in the future!!

Perfect Tacoma waterfront vacation home
My family really enjoyed our stay in this remodeled craftsman style home right on the Tacoma waterway. We especially enjoyed the park that was only a short walk away. The owners were informative and welcoming. We hope to return next year!

Awesome View and Amenities
The view was awesome with an fantastic sunset each night (the back of the property faces West). The property was well maintained and decorated. The owners did a great job in considering what the travelers would need. The binoculars & telescope were a very nice touch. We made good use of them to watch passing boats, birds, and seals. There was plenty of space, comfortable beds, and everything we needed including games, a well-equipped grill, refrig, spices, a garage for parking one car (with 'Blue Bob' to assist) and apples fresh off the tree. The location was quiet and perfect for us with groceries and dining near by and the lighthouse within a short walk. I highly recommend this property.
