About this house rental
Commencement Bay Getaway
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Light, style, and a wealth of character fill this beautiful home in Old Town Tacoma. It is wonderfully situated within walking distance of Commencement Bay and its many restaurants, cafes, and bars.
This two-story home sits just a few blocks from the water in Old Town, giving you lovely scenery and easy access to the best of Tacoma. You'll be within a mile of the University of Puget Sound and less than four miles from the Tacoma Dome, the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and the ferry to Vashon Island.
Built in 1910, this home blends its century-old history with contemporary pops of color and pattern. After a day of exploring the city, come home to unwind in a front parlor with large windows, modern yet comfortable seating, and a TV to screen your favorite movies.
The kitchen is well-equipped, offering bold backsplash tile, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast nook for cozy morning meals. Just off the kitchen are a formal dining room with a fireplace and wainscoting that add warmth and atmosphere, a rear office with a desk workspace, and a full laundry room.
Of the bedrooms, the primary suite is downstairs on the main floor, offering its own TV, bathroom, and access to the backyard. There are three bedrooms - all with walk-in closets - upstairs, including a charming kids' room with a darling play nook.
THINGS TO KNOW

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The interior of the home served our purposes, was well located, and comfortable. We appreciated the dishwasher and clothes washer/dryer. While there was no air conditioning, the breeze through the home kept the temperature reasonable (although there are no window screens). When we arrived at our check in time, we found ALL towels hanging in the three bathrooms to be literally SOAKING WET (not just damp). Since we weren't certain of their status, we spent our first evening at the home rewashing and thoroughly drying them. We only received door code information for the back door and the parking in the back alley was tight. As suggested, we parked one car on the street, but had to go around the back to get inside the home. The front steps are steep and in need of repair. Further, the steps were partially obscured by the untrimmed front planting and weeds. The grass in the small backyard was long and brown with piles of dog poop in places. The management company chose to set up the patio furniture and BBQ the evening of our last day there and we had to hunt down the trash cans and wheel them back down the alley so we had a place to dispose of our trash. So, while the interior of the home was fairly well maintained, the exterior was not. Further, the VACASA management company provides a very impersonal experience. I believe the are located well outside the west coast area as I received a text at 4:30am regarding a maintenance person coming onto the property.

We enjoyed the beautifully, spacious, renovated home. It had all the amenities we needed. A simple walk to our favorite coffee shop, Curan. The home can easily accommodate a family or several couples.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2025
This home was exactly what we needed for our family trip. We have extended family in Seattle and Olympia. This was a great midpoint to see everyone. It was in an ideal area where we could walk to the waterfront and get coffee in the morning and explore the broader area throughout the day. The accommodations were so comfortable and it was nice they had a high chair and pack and play for our 8mo old to use.

Interior of home was comfortable and fairly well maintained. The exterior of the home, including entry stairs, needs repair and cleanup in order to be safe and useful.
