Capitol Hill Estate

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Rebecca’s place was exactly what we’d hoped for and more. It accommodated all 13 of us amazingly. We had so much fun and had no complaints (which is hard to do with 13 friends in one place). It was a comfortable location with easy parking, and had a place for everyone who wanted to stay up late on a separate floor, and for anyone who wanted to get cozy early in the night. Such a fun and safe neighborhood. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. :)

Tranquil 3-Bedroom in the Heart of Tacoma

LeahRating, 5 stars4 days ago
The house was very comfortable and well kept up with a mid-century modern vibe. The beds and linens were very nice too! The location is perfect if you have a student at UPS and central to get to other local attractions. There is some noise that carries from the guests/residents below, but to be expected in an older home and Reece was very responsive about any concerns.

Hotel House

LizbethRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We stayed from Friday to Monday and loved it. The home is cute and they are so thoughtful with the amenities that are provided. There are coffee shops, restaurants and a grocery store all at walking distance. The location was perfect. We did some local shopping for books, records and some gifts. It’s a quiet location, comfortable beds, and beautiful large windows. It definitely felt like home.

Gorgeous 3 bedroom close to UPS & Downtown Tacoma!

LaurenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This cute house is bigger than it appears in the photos, is nicely decorated and has all the amenities. It's conveniently located in a residential neighborhood and still very close to shopping areas. The side and back yards are sizeable and in warmer weather would be great for eating outdoors. I even had two bunnies hopping through one afternoon! I would definitely stay again.

Olympic Peninsula Paradise Bremerton Washington

RuthRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This home was perfect for when I had lots of family visiting from out of town. Each couple had their own bedroom. The teens made use of the twin beds and the babies/toddler had floor space for their pad and travel cribs. (The carpet was very clean so we had no qualms about kiddos sleeping on the floor.) It was a very good price for the great accommodations. No hotel could have given me that price for the number of rooms I would have had to reserve. the view was lovely and the neighborhood was easily accessible from the main road. Definitely keeping Scott’s place in my favorites for the next time I have a bunch of family visiting.

Modern Escape | Spacious 4BR Home for Families, Gr

AndreaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house was great for our needs - thank you so much! Everything was clean, there was plenty of space. The kitchen is decently stocked but was missing some things we wish we had (like cookie sheets and grill sheets for the oven) and kid-friendly table ware (just for peace of mind when giving kids drinks, etc.) Other than that, it was great!

JayRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Thanks again for the wonderful stay! Highly recommend this oasis in the heart of central district in Seattle - super close to downtown, but plenty of peace and quiet as well. Kitchen was honestly the best I’ve ever seen in an Airbnb - there was an air fryer, mixer and a vitamix blender! Would have been happy to stay for another week!

Gather in historic home - sleeps 8. A/C & EV

LauraRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Great location. Communication with host was excellent. Our grandchildren loved the basement games; especially the air hockey. Beds were comfortable. Being an older house it is a slight challenge to regulate the heat. The upstairs bedroom was cool at night and the downstairs bedrooms were warm. The cleaners missed a few things but it didn’t bother us very much. But I couldn’t give it 5 stars for the cleaning. We would definitely recommend the house and we would love to stay here again!

Your guide to Tacoma

All About Tacoma

Tacoma is a vibrant city 30 miles south of Seattle on the banks of Puget Sound in Washington. Within a one-hour driving distance from Mount Rainier National Park and home to museums, historic neighborhoods, and a two-mile-long scenic waterfront, Tacoma draws travelers with its natural beauty and unique city attractions. You don't even have to leave the city to enjoy a great hike. The Point Defiance Trail System in Tacoma offers 15 miles of trails of different lengths and difficulty levels. One of the more popular routes is the 4.6-mile Square Trail, which traces the outer loop of Point Defiance Park. When you’ve worked up an appetite, grab market-fresh seafood by the water or sample beer from one of the local breweries in town.

Tacoma houses numerous museums and galleries dedicated to Pacific Northwest artists, like the Tacoma Museum of Art, and mediums they’ve helped elevate, like the Museum of Glass. In the downtown museum district you’ll also find the Washington State History Museum, a Children's Museum, and a Car Museum.

Vintage collectors may want to explore Tacoma’s Antique Row, a downtown district known for its antique and vintage homewares, sports memorabilia, clothing, and other treasures from decades gone by.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Tacoma

Tacoma has warm yet short summers, while winters are cold, cloudy, and wet, with a chance of snow in December and January. Spring and fall tend to be rainy with more overcast days occurring in the fall season. However, fall is a popular time for hiking among the changing fall foliage. Spring is the best time to see the rhododendrons in bloom. Stroll Point Defiance Park to see the riot of color at the Rhododendron Garden — peak season usually runs mid-April to mid-May. If you miss the rhododendrons, maybe you'll visit in July or early August in time to see (and smell) the Rose Tunnel at Point Defiance Park in full bloom. The state’s largest Fourth of July event occurs every year in Tacoma with fireworks, live music, and an air show.


Top things to do in Tacoma

Museum of Glass

The 75,000-square-foot Museum of Glass, housed in the birthplace of a renowned glass artist, is dedicated to the medium as an artform. You can explore its collections of production glass, studio glass, and contemporary glass, and also witness glass-blowing demonstrations.

Point Defiance Park

Point Defiance Park sits at the north end of the city with 760 acres of trails, gardens, and views of the Salish Sea. The Japanese Garden is a highlight here, with its pagoda, footbridge, and cherry blossoms. Consider a visit to Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, located in the park. Staff and volunteers at this restored Hudson Bay Company outpost wear period costumes and demonstrate what 19th-century life was like in the area.

Ruston Way Waterfront

The Ruston Way Waterfront coastal walkway runs from downtown to Point Defiance Park, offering up scenic views of South Puget Sound. There's no better spot to admire the city skyline against the backdrop of Mount Rainier in the distance, or the views of the South Puget Sound. Watch for seals basking or playing in the water nearby.
