My family of five adults and a 4-year old stayed at The Blue Ruby for five nights. The 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were perfect for our family. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen, the children’s toys & books, the washer & dryer, the hot tub and the two-car garage. The small outdoor space with a table and chairs was a bonus. Communication with the host was prompt and thorough. We walked to the Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and the Pt. Defiance ferry (for a day on Vashon Island). We drove the short distance to Point Rustin and enjoyed the market, restaurants and waterfront play area and water feature. We also enjoyed the playground at Owen Beach Park. The house is on the corner of Ruby and Pearl, a busy road. There was car traffic noise with the windows open but the house is well insulated and has good windows so the noise was negligible with the windows closed. We were there during warm weather so appreciated the AC. We also liked the keyless door locks. It is a comfortable house in a great location.

Great place for my family. Restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. We loved our stay.

We really like The Blue Ruby. It's less 10 mins from the UPS campus where our son just graduated. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were well appointed and had everything we we needed. The unit was very clean. Everything worked as expected. We loved having fresh coffee and a coffee grinder. Communication with the host was great. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

The rental was an above average house. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable and the furnishings were good but standard "rental" furniture. The location is excellent with easy access to Point Defiance and restaurants. Although the entry code was missing from our email, management's response was immediate. However, I must warn that it is on a very busy street with traffic at all hours of the day and night. I never slept well because of the noise. If that is not an issue for you, this would be a good family rental.
