Watch Ships Come into Port from Bed-

Newly Redone. Beautiful Home. Close to Everything, with Outstanding Views of Commencement Bay. Walking distance to hip Old Town North Tacoma. Minutes to the Waterfront. High End Neighborhood. This roomy 6 bedroom home is new to the vacation and corporate rental market. It has been designed with you in mind. 6 bedrooms, open kitchen, private den, living room, fireplace seating area, laundry and 3 bathrooms allow you the privacy and space you need to enjoy your time in Tacoma. ((Please take a moment to watch the video)The large picture windows provide breathtaking views of the Bay and Old Town Tacoma. Lay in bed and watch the ships come in to port. The spacious property provides plenty of room to gather outside on one of the two balconies or lawn areas and enjoy your time. Shoot some basketball while others are enjoying an outdoor meal. Rainy days in Tacoma are beautiful when seen gazing out the window from in front of the cozy fireplace. The firework show from your balcony on the fourth of July is nothing short of amazing. We made sure to pick out new comfortable mattresses for all six of the bedrooms. Coffee maker, large TV, washer and dryer and all the kitchen items you will need to make yourself at home during your stay.

Close to everywhere you need and want to be, Prospect Hill is one of the most sought after areas of Tacoma. Perched above it all yet minutes from UPS, Museums, Tacoma Dome, Downtown Tacoma, Ruston Way, Water Activities, Point Defiance Park and walking distance to the popular Old Town Tacoma. Prospect Hill is an upscale, safe and beautiful neighborhood.

This home has been in our family for over 40 years. It is such a special place. It was such a blessing having coffee each day on the balcony, opening your eyes each morning and looking out at the harbor before your feet even hit the floor, gathering together for dinner parties, bbq lunches outside on the lawn or just enjoying time with those you love, this is the place you want to be.

Although we no longer live at this home, we have decided to keep it in the family and share it with others for vacation, short term rental or business travel. You will love this home and this setting and we will love knowing that you are enjoying it.

We have often used travel sites to book homes when we travel. We have felt most comfortable in the homes who pride themselves in cleanliness. We have a professional cleaning staff and have set the highest of standards for cleanliness. Your comfort is very important to us.

Please let us know how we can assist you in making your stay everything you hoped it would be. We are available by phone 24 hours and want to help you with any details or accommodations you need. We list this home to accommodate 11 but it can accommodate more if someone would like to sleep on the couch. Please let us know if your family is larger and needs more room.

We loved this place. It worked well for my daughters wedding and the multiple family members that came and went from town. Host went above and beyond for us. We needed to check in early and then extended it for an additional day. Annie was so accommodating. 10+++ starts for this property and for the host!!!

Charming Home with Amazing View
Our stay at this location was wonderful. We had ten adults who were able to have a bedroom. The bathrooms were enough for us all to share. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. We spent one week in this location and it was as described in the details. The house was very clean and had all amenities that we needed. The view of the Sound is amazing. Loved having binoculars to look for whales. Ann was quick to respond before our stay with questions I had. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable!

Room for the whole family.
This property was so nice. The whole family came for our daughter’s graduation. There is room for everyone. We had 11 adults and a four year old and four cars (with room for at least two more). Grocery stores were very close by as well as restaurants and coffee shop. If you plan to do any cooking and have left overs, you may need foil, plastic wrap, or ziplocs. The coffee grinder and coffee pot were A+. We replaced a few skillets that were at the end of their life and were reimbursed!

Great Stay Over the Holidays
The pictures of the house were great and it didn't disappoint in real life. My family and I had a great time. Our host was excellent - great communication. Very clean, great neighborhood. There were 9 of us and it fit us very comfortably. We were able to walk to a few restaurants and bars. Museums nearby (a short drive). Overall a great stay. We'd definitely recommend this place and would stay there again. Total thumbs up!

Our family enjoyed our fall visit to the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful views from a historic location. The owners were so easy to work with and shared plenty of helpful tips. Be sure to budget time for coffee on the porch each morning - it’s just breathtaking.

Incredible family home with an amazing view
We had such a wonderful time staying at 106 Orchard. There were 7 of us including an infant and a 4 year old. We all loved having coffee on the porch every morning watching the ships go by. You can even see the top of Rainier on a clear day! The host, Annie, was incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. Check in and checkout were smooth and easy. We really cannot say enough great things about this home and we hope to return in the future. One small thing— the train is pretty loud in the mornings so I’d recommend running the fan or bringing earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

It’s the view!
We were in Tacoma for a family wedding. We filled most rooms with family, and had a couple of friends of the bride use the extras. It was big enough for everyone to have space. We had a small party after the rehearsal, and all sat on the downstairs balcony to watch the city, the bay and the mountains. The kitchen was well-appointed (we never cooked a dinner), and filled all our needs. We racked our brains to see if there was anything negative about the house, and didn’t think of any. But it’s the view that makes the house; if I returned for another week, I’d plan some mornings and evenings to just sit on one of the balconies and watch Old Town and Commencement Bay. We saw an eagle, a sailing regatta, cargo ships, and even had a couple of Ranier sightings. Can’t recommend the house strongly enough!

Family Home with Beautiful View
Our extended family came to Tacoma from around the country to spend time together. This home was perfect for enjoying one another's company and the beautiful scenery. With two decks, we enjoyed the picturesque views of Puget Sound and Commencement Bay, and loved watching a nesting bald eagle. The house itself was well appointed and the bedrooms were roomy. It got a little hot in July without AC, but open windows created a good breeze at night. There is a second unit in the basement of the house, but outside of the car, we heard or saw nothing. Annie, the property owner/manager, could not have been more responsive and helpful throughout our stay. She was great to work with!

The view was spectacular and near Tacoma’s best attractions
Home has character, so not a new home but fully updated with new appliances, carpet, etc. Bring binoculars to view the activity in harbor from the balconies or porch or many windows. Owner has a book with their own favorite things to do, or call owner who is happy to answer any questions or give up-to-date feedback.
