About this house rental

Located in Tacoma, this attractive house for $135 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This completely renovated home is located in a quiet tree-lined neighborhood just two blocks from the beautiful University of Puget Sound campus. Guests share the entrance with hosts who live on the first floor. Up one flight of stairs and through a doorway to the second floor, guests have exclusive use of the second floor in this spotless home. This entire floor was added 10 years ago and features two large bedrooms, bathroom with shower, sitting room, and fully equipped kitchen. There is a door at the top of the stairs into the sitting room, which closes off from the downstairs, allowing total privacy. There is a laundry room located on the first floor, which guests are welcome to share with the hosts. No minimum night stay requirement. Ample free parking. No pets or smoking please. Easy access to local amenities, waterfront restaurants and downtown Tacoma. This home has undergone a very long and extensive, COMPLETE remodel. All work has been done by us. "This Old House" enthusiasts would be proud. We have striven for an English country cottage look - down to the numerous gardens and hand-planed white picket fence. To reiterate above information: Guests will have use of the entire second floor where two bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchenette , and sitting room are located. Hosts live downstairs and share the front door/entrance with guests. The sitting room has an HD TV and small dining area. There is a fully equipped kitchenette; and a huge master bedroom (queen bed) with HD TV, sitting and desk areas; a bathroom with shower and small tub, fully furnished kitchenette and a second bedroom (queen bed). Guests have full use of the front porch with old fashioned porch swing and wicker furniture - reminiscent of days gone by. There is also a private brick patio with gardens, a water feature, firepit and patio string lights. You have complete access and use of these areas. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or afternoon cocktails overlooking our lovely gardens either on the front porch or patio. Parents visiting their student(s) at UPS are always welcome. We are literally two blocks from the main entrance of the Administration Building from our property. We designed our renovations with the intention of offering UPS parents a welcoming place to stay when visiting their children at the University. Our downstairs dining room (seats 8) (and full kitchen) can be available upon request for a special meal/occasion. (Parents of UPS students can prepare their favorite meal and/or have them bring a few friends over for dinner). With notice, hosts will make themselves scarce for the evening. Location: Two blocks from the beautiful University of Puget Sound campus; within one half mile of the waterfront; within walking distance to the charming Proctor District (and STARBUCKS); one mile to Old Town; two miles to the waterfront restaurants and walking trails; and, three miles to downtown Tacoma; 30 miles south of Seattle. Logistics: * 45 minute straight shot on I-5 South from SeaTac Airport We look forward to sharing our home with you.

A friend and I stayed at Kathleen & David's second floor VRBO while in town for a wedding. The property was clean, well decorated, and very comfortable; the pictures really don't do it justice! Kathleen is a wizard at decor! Both Kathleen and David were very friendly and accommodating, and the home is in a lovely neighborhood within walking distance of several local boutiques and a sweet coffee shop. I would stay here again in half a heartbeat; we had a wonderful time!

Would happily stay there again!

Quiet, safe neighborhood, well appointed (spoiled with bfast in the fridge... Thank you!), perfect for 2 friends attending a conference at the convention center. Beautiful garden, lots of space in bedrooms, comfy bed! The shower head is very low due the slope of the ceiling and would be a challenge for someone tall. OK, for me at 5'4". Close to UPS and quick drive to convention center. Easy! Fantastic sushi place just minutes away. Thanks for a relaxing place to stay while here in Tacoma.

You Can't Go Wrong

This property is perfectly located if you want to take a walk (UPS campus is a block away), go shopping (the Proctor shopping district is a five minute drive), or hit the downtown scene (a ten minute drive). It is clean, quit, and includes a private patio surrounded by flowering shrubs and potted plants as well as a front porch with a swing. You have a full kitchen if you want to cook as well as two lovely bedrooms, a living room with Direct TV, and a dining room. The owners share the front entrance with you, but are all but invisible if you want them to be, and delightful to chat with if you want recommendations for restaurants, etc or want to catch up on local history and color. We had a lovely stay and will be back!

This is a great property with wonderful owners. Charming cottage with beautiful gardens and lovely porch to sit out on in nice weather. Very convenient ( only two blocks) to University of Puget Sound. While we were only there for 24 hours the lit hen was well equipped with everything someone would need for a longer stay.

Wonderful home away from home

This home is very close to UPS in a nice neighborhood. Quiet with beautiful gardens, including a dining patio. Fully equipped kitchen such that we cooked a dinner for our daughter (she's a student at UPS) and she invited her boyfriend. You share the front door entrance with the hosts (they live on the 2nd story) but that was never a problem. They are very nice and helpful. Highly recommend.
