A wonderful blend of Pacific Northwest charm and a host of modern updates, this two-bedroom craftsman will place you in the very heart of North Tacoma. The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, the ferry to Vashon Island, the many attractions of downtown Tacoma - they're all at your fingertips here.

Step inside to find a living space that's both open and cozy, with the living room offering lovely built-ins, a comfortable sofa, and a flatscreen TV to enjoy on drizzly evenings. This room opens to a dining space and a full kitchen with quartz countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinet storage. The back door leads outside to a spacious enclosed yard - a great spot to bring your morning coffee or play with your kids in the afternoons. Remote workers will especially appreciate the large desk and lightning-fast internet and, when it's time to take a break, the playground down the road at Jane Clark Park.

Additional amenities include generously sized bedrooms with deep closets, a recently updated full bathroom with a new tub casing, a private washer/dryer, and free WiFi throughout the house.

Great place to gather with family for thanksgiving
Our primary home is under renovation but we were very lucky to find this property to have family stay at and host Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to host and the cute second bathroom came in really handy. The location was perfect and close to friends who also stopped by for a visit. Thank-you for everything, you made our Thanksgiving a success!!!

Great place to stay at Tacoma
It is a nice little cozy place. It was SUPER clean and well organized. There has been a lot of thought put into organizing it so it os very welcoming and comfortable. I loved it how everything in the kitchen was labeled which made it very easy to orient and find stuff. Felt almost like home.

House was very comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet. Near Point Defiance and Port Ruston. Had a couple of door knob problems; just annoying not dire. Got fixed within a day.

Would not recommend
There was nothing good to say about our experience at this rental or with vacasa. The day we checked in, the temperature in Tacoma was 93 degrees. The air conditioner in this home did not work and all the windows were painted shut, it felt like we were staying in a sauna. There was no welcome email or letter explaining how to connect to the internet. There were not proper sheets on the bed, just a flat sheet laid over the top of the plastic mattress cover. We were so sweaty at night that sheet stuck to us and then we were just laying on the plastic mattress cover half way through the night. We found a fitted sheet in the closet that didn't fit on the bed. The metal bunk bed in the other room was super rickety, my teenage kids said they were nervous that it was going to fall apart when they moved in it. Every time they turned over at night it had a horrendous squeaking. There was no toilet paper provided, so we had to make a run to the store for that. We tried to contact Vacasa about all these problems and just received an email stating that they had a high volume of emails and they would respond when they could. Then we never heard from them again. We tried to call and were transferred to a dead line. I would definitely not recommend this home and from here on out, I will avoid any rental property managed by Vacasa.

Nice home but would suggest safety improvement
The home was adequately furnished. We enjoyed the backyard and the outdoor furniture. The kitchen is adequately furnished. Locating the lockbox for the house keys was a little challenging because as we walked to the front porch we saw a lock box. However, after several attempts to open we realized this was not the right one. We then noticed the location of the correct lockbox.. There is a nice park within walking distance. The immediate neighbors and street were quiet. We are strongly recommending to the owner that the door leading to the basement/laundry area swing into the kitchen. Currently when someone opens the door there is the immediate risk of them falling down the stairs. Also if that door is not secured tightly and someone leans against the door they could fall down the steps. The dishwasher door did not close easily and would just fall open. The mattresses move when turning over. In fact one night I fell off the bottom bunk bed as I was turning over. Luckily it’s a short drop to the floor. One side of the bathroom mirror fell off the wall. We propped up the mirror with towels to prevent it from falling to the floor. I reported the situation on line. When there was not a timely response I called Vacasa to make a report. We are hoping the mirror was reattach after we checked out-two days later. Would we rent again…yes if the basement and dishwasher doors are secured especially the basement door .

wedding trip
The house was great...it was hot during our trip and having ceiling fans in the bedrooms and family room was perfect along with with window AC. We were able to keep the house very cool throughout our stay. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms great and kitchen well equipped for most anything. Close to anything Tacoma or Gig Harbor and very quiet area. We would stay there again.

Property was very nice and quiet neighborhood. Beds weren't very comfy but they did the job. When it is hot there is no AC but fans. House stays quite warm. Would definitely go again.
