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 amoment 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.

    This place was amazing! The views from the house are spectacular and the home itself is very calming. The host was great communicating that if we needed anything she was just a call away, it was very reassuring. Honestly, there was nothing we needed as the house was perfectly set up with everything with needed. Very clean and spacious and nice quiet neighborhood.

    The views are the highlight of this home! On clear mornings the sunrises were amazing, but even on rainy days the view did not disappoint. We could see mountains and even a partial Mt Rainer view on clear days. The well stocked kitchen included trash bags, dish & dish washer detergent and even washing detergent for the whole trip. Host was great at communicating and accommodating. Neighborhood was safe and full of beautifully historic homes. There are several nice grocery stores close by and about 30 min to SEATAC airport. Tip: fill up with gas at one of the Tacoma Express 76 stations. It was aboout .40 cheaper per gallon.

    Having lived in the area for 20 years it was very nostalgic for us. The views from the porches were spectacular. The house with all the bedrooms worked perfect for our group. The Host was very communicative and responsive. If we find ourselves in the area again we would love the chance to stay.

    Location is safe, close to a lot of great activities; food, sound, shops. Views from porch and windows are beautiful. Host was responsive and let us check in early. House could use updating. Upstairs bathrooms are in need of remodeling, especially the showers. Furniture looks nice however when u sit on the couch or chairs they uncomfortable from age, taking away from the enjoyment of the view. The porch upstairs needs usable furniture to enjoy the amazing view. The front guest bedroom frame should be replaced or removed as it squeaks so bad u wake up ur bedmate when u simply roll over. Home is nicely equipped with all of the necessities for a large family/group. Housekeeping was well done and appreciated!

    Amazing! House was spotless and views were spectacular! Location was close enough to be able to walk to water and walk along shore. Amazing grocery store, shops and restaurants on Proctor street which was less then a 5min drive. we wish we could have stay longer and hope to be back again next year!

    The property is very nice and the view is outstanding. We stayed here prior to a cruise that boarded in Seattle. The restaurants in the immediate area have outstanding fresh seafood. My wife and I and our two daughters and their family's stayed there. We did not eat in house much due to so many outstanding seafood restaurants being available. We could not pass them up as we looked at them at possibly a once in a lifetime opportunuty We had plenty of beds etc. While the house is smaller than we normally rent, we all felt comfortable. We booked far in advance and we were very happy with the home. We were somewhat surprised to find that the basement has an apartment in it and is rented out. While this was not an issue for us, I hope we did not disturb the tenant.We would hope we could rent it again if we are ever in the area.We sat in the lawn chairs and on the porches and very much enjoyed watching the ships etcThe residential area is very quiet and well kept

    Our 3-generation family of 9 guests all loved this space. First level BR was critical for the grandparents as upstairs is not friendly to anyone with mobility issues. But the house, despite being old and creaky is well kept and the location and views were all very enjoyable. We especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. The owner was responsive and supportive. Five star property. Thanks Annie!

    This beautiful home is tucked away in Tacoma just above the Old Town area with expansive, panoramic views of Puget Sound, Brown’s Point, and Commencement Bay. As much as the listing talks about and shows pictures of the view, the descriptions and photos don’t do justice to the breathtaking vistas. The home is spacious with a nice bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and the rest of the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. Two bedrooms upstairs share the expansive views you find from the main level living areas, and there is a balcony upstairs, as well as a large porch on the ground level. The home was immaculate and comfortable. Check in and out were a breeze. And Annie was very helpful and immediately responsive any time we had a concern. The location of the home is easy to find,near the end of a quiet and very narrow road. And from the home you can easily walk down the large hill to the water along Ruston Way, and there are several markets, restaurants, and coffee shops within a 5-10 minute drive. Overall, the value of the home is hard to beat. We can’t wait to stay here again next time we find ourselves in the Tacoma area.

    The house was just as advertised: gorgeous views of Puget Sound. So calm, so relaxing.It’s well stocked with everything you need.The beds are varying levels of firm and not so firm so we shifted around rooms, finding the right firmness for each person. It was nice to have that variability. It’s also conveniently located close to grocery stores and restaurants.The owners are incredibly fast to respond to any questions. They get 10 stars!The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is the house has an ant problem. The owners came immediately and got rid of the ants in the room (Diningroom table). But later (we stayed a few days), I was stepping on ants in another room (upstairs bath). If they could eliminate the ant issue (and I don’t know how), this would be not a 5 star but a 10 star house.Would I stay there again? Absolutely I would love to.

    As a local PNWer who knows the not so clean reputation of Tacoma, this beautiful neighborhood of Prospect Hill surprised me and impressed me greatly. So many beautiful, old, well-maintained houses. Lovely neighborhood.6 minutes to 2 supermarkets across the street from each other. 6 minute drive to a walk along the shore and restaurants. 11 minutes to the History Museum.We saw fireworks in all directions on New Year's Eve. Wonderful time.The house is very roomy. Landlord says she'll add a desk which will be convenient. Landlord is super responsive.We couldn't get the Amazon Fire stick to work, and were stuck with regular channels and Youtube. Hope that access will be better for the next guest.Thank you!

    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!
