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.

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.

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.
