The home is beautiful. The location is amazing, beds are comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the porch enjoying the backyard and wildlife. We had an elderly adult and the ramp and low profile rugs made the main floor easy to navigate. He was very comfortable. My college kids loved the downstairs game room and their separate bathrooms. The bathrooms are wonderful. The living room was comfy and while the sofas were a bit low for our elderly family member, we all enjoyed lounging in that room when we weren’t outside to take advantage of that view.We didn’t cook a lot but we found everything we needed when we did. Labels on switch covers were so helpful. So much helpful communication from the owner. None of us wanted to leave. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Exccellent Place

This house is one of the best we have rented. It was very clean, had all the amenities we needed, plenty of rooms and bathrooms and the view was excellent. We were happy with the location as it was very quiet and easy to get around the Tacoma area. Emmy was very responsive as we only ran into one issue with the hot water heater not functioning correctly. She was able to fix that issue remotely although we did have it happen again the next day. I would definitely recommend staying at this home as we enjoyed our time here.

Wonderful!

Perfect house and a perfect location. Our family vacation for a wedding was nearby and this house was a good size and nicely spread out. Pictures don’t do the view any justice. Of course that’s a big part of this home is the view the water, chilling on the patio was next level. Serval deer would walk through the bushes in the backyard and lay around. If you have young kids (ours are 3 & 4) there was a perfect park chambers bay right around the corner within walking distance was super nice and walking trail. Nice amenities, kitchen was left well stocked and full-size laundry room nice for longer length stays. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Everything was there that we needed and Emmy, the host, was very attentive and responsive even when we had troubles accessing the front door code she was on top of it right away. Will definitely stay again if we’re in the Tacoma area!

Family Get Together

We had the best time in Tacoma for our yearly family get together. The house is welcoming and comfortable. We loved that pretty much everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, the playroom downstairs was a huge hit with the little one. Lots of thought has gone into making sure everything has been provided to make your stay comfortable, down to the coffee corner, well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, indoor and outdoor games, umbrellas. There was plenty of room for gathering as well, comfortable couches and outdoor table. The decor is relaxing and makes you feel right at home. Emmy, is an amazing host, great at communicating, responsive, and always making sure you will have the best of stays. This is by far the best house we ever rented.

The views from the property were breathtaking, and the cleanliness was top-notch, making us feel right at home. If you're visiting the Seattle/Tacoma area, this is the place to book.

UPS Graduation weekend

We could not rave about Emmy’s place with any less enthusiasm! A superb location with the most outstanding view of Fox Island and Gig Harbor. An immaculate and well appointed home for small group entertaining and relaxation. We had a home to truly relax between weekend events and ceremonies. We were amazed with the kitchen amenities. Beds were so comfortable. A beautiful walk or run just steps away near Chambers Bay Golf Course. There were a sweet doe and fawn hanging out peacefully in the lawn. Magical. Emmy was welcoming and so responsive! Don’t pass by this opportunity to experience a beautiful Washington home!

Fabulous vacation house

We enjoyed our stay at this house and would happily stay there again. We loved the view of the water, and then it got even better when the weather cleared so that we could see the mountains. The house was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with calming decor throughout. There is off-street parking for multiple vehicles, and even access to the garage (so nice when it was raining). Plenty of restaurants just a short drive away. All in all, it was a wonderful, relaxing place to stay.

Family, Fun and Laughter

If you looking for a place to laugh, if you looking for a place to have fun and be as comfortable as possible in lap life of luxury you have found the place. We had a mother and daughter get together for a Birthday and this house was Perfect, more than enough room unbelievable water views and comfort,comfort and more comfort, from the beds to the chairs. This property is located in good proximity to all the stores you will need and two excellent coffee shops. This property appear to have been newly remodeled and they did not forget anything, kitchen was so nice to cook in we had the best breakfasts, everything you need was there down to umbrellas at the door. This property allowed us to have all the together time we needed but also two separate inside area for some alone time and places to sit outside. I can not say enough about this place if we come back to this area this will be out 1st choice. Thank you to the hostess for all her help, you can not go wrong with this one, I guarantee

Amazing Stay, Awesome Owner!

My family group of 7 had a family get together in University Place and we happened upon Emmy's delightful and well appointed home. The pictures don't do the home justice as there was a wow factor walking through the front door and taking in the sight of the open waterway and Fox Island across the way. Emmy made our visit very comfortable and efficient. The home itself has an understated elegance and is well stocked and is in a quiet neighborhood close by to incredible parks and the Chambers Bay Golf Course. As my family lives close by to Emmy's, we'll most certainly return!
