Tacoma, Washington
Welcome to our Tok A Lou Beach House. She is a 1926 craftsman style beauty situated on the shipping lanes of the Port of Tacoma. We have tried to maintain the early flair of the home as much as possible while making it modernly comfortable. The windows and doors reflect the quality and care that went into building this solid attractive home. The door knobs and hardware are the original glass and brass. Our home has 1 bedroom located on the main floor with a queen bed, TV, and walk in closet. The full bathroom is also located on the main floor. An upstairs sleeping attic boasts both a queen and double bed plus two wing back chairs in a sitting area that looks out over Puget Sound and the city of Tacoma. Non stop views from main floor living room with gas log fireplace, a 60 inch TV, Blue Ray player and Bose sound system. The Laundry Room has a full size washer and dryer. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, pots, pans and many spices. The covered front porch allows a protected area to observe the endless variety of water craft as they parade in and out of marinas and the Port. A direct plumbed Weber BBQ is located on the south side patio along with sitting area. Enjoy the view while grilling up something delicious!

Our home is a small and cozy paradise and thus a maximum of 4 adults allowed. Pets and additional guests will have an additional charge. Enjoy...
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!
Wonderful to return to Browns Point where I grew up, with friends and family here and close by. Loved seeing the restored Lighthouse, marine life, kite surfing and sailboat regatta.
This property has amazing views of the water with the mountains behind it. The house is fully stocked and the hosts were very responsive to my questions.
This property is beautiful. Very clean well stocked and Joe is a very responsive owner. The views are breathtaking and the sunset inspiring. Gino’s restaurant is close by and a. family run business that has excellent cuisine and a beautiful view. I will stay there again when we aren’t working for sure!! Thanks again!!
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!
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!
It is more of an experience than anything else. Eagles, porpoises, seals, beautiful sunsets are just a sample. Love this place and can't wait for our next stay.
The inside and outside are beautiful. So charming, cozy, clean and equipped with everything you need. We loved this home and plan to return.
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!
