The pictures do not do this stat justice. It’s beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds. 5 adults stayed here so the queen beds were perfect for us. The location was central to where we needed to be for a wedding in another community with all amenities nearby. This is a well maintained and clean home. There was a minor cleanliness situation that we had to inform the host of after we’d discovered it on the last day, and she offered a free night which we unfortunately will not be able to redeem as we don’t have a reason to be back to visit. I highly recommend this location and host.

We were in town visiting family. 3 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths was perfect for the family! This was the nicest place! It was clean and comfortable. The owner thought of the smallest details, which made our stay great! The location was close to the Hwy, making easier to get around. When I'm back for another visit, I will definitely see if this is available as my 1st choice!

Enjoyed our stay at Julie's place

We enjoyed our stay at Julie's place. The place was new, clean, welcoming, and we overall enjoyed our stay. There were a few hiccups with the fire alarms going off, but thankfully she had replacement units. Beds were very comfortable, and not cheap foam mattresses like a lot of rentals have. We rented Julie's place quite in advance of our stay and she was great about keeping in communication with us as well. The unit also had all the kitchen supplies you need and snacks as well :). One of the best rental units we've stayed in.

Very clean and organized

We stayed at this property while visiting my daughter who lives in Tacoma and is stationed at the Base. I stayed there with two adult children so appreciated the queen beds in each bedroom. The townhouse was very clean and well organized; kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes, towels and linens were all clean. The owner had snacks available for us and a lovely sparkling apple juice in the fridge waiting for us. A Keurig coffee maker is provided and there was plenty of coffee and tea for us to use. Added bonus is there is a garage for one car. There is also a grill and an outside sitting area which, given the time of year, we did not use. The ad mentions there is parking for two cars and we found that to be true, we kept one in the garage and one in front of the garage. There is no street parking in front of the unit. The unit is very convenient in terms of food shopping and access to the highway is just a few miles away, it is about a block from Pacific Avenue which is a busy commercial street. You can walk to some restaurants and coffee places. I want to thank the owners for making our stay over the holidays feel so welcoming. Knowing we were coming in for the holidays, we were pleasantly surprised to find some holiday decorations. Thank you.
