Waterfront vacation rentals in Pierce County

Victorias place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The Captains Quarters are a must stay place if you’re in long branch/lakebay. It felt like we were truly a captain of a ship, especially since the view was absolutely amazing. Victoria was so responsive, kind, and gave local recommendations. The private beach is even more gorgeous than the pictures, and it felt like a getaway from home. Our only regret is that we didn’t do more on the property! Would definitely stay here again. Props to Victoria and the amazing space!

Our stay was AMAZING! One of our most favorite places we’ve ever stayed! So beautiful with the most amazing views! Tons of space, inside and out! Impeccably clean and equipped for comfort. So private, peaceful, tranquil, and safe! Yet still just a short drive to get anywhere you need to go. The hosts are the nicest people we’ve ever met! At our request, they took their time to chat with us about the area and provided great guidance. They were so thoughtful about our needs, but also respect their guests privacy. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful experience on all fronts! We hope to be back again soon!

This was truly one of the most relaxing weekends we’ve had in quite a long time. We met Sara & Jerry upon our arrival- they were very warm & made us feel comfortable right away. The apartment is perfect for a couple that wants to get away to a beautifully serene, relaxing, & quiet place. The apartment is comfortable & decorated very well. Sara keeps the grounds a gorgeous sanctuary for birds & bees. On a few occasions we even got to see the Bald Eagle couple that like to nest in one of the very tall trees of the property. It was so nice to wake up to a stunning view each morning & just enjoy the view. The stars are out at night so bright & if you ask, Jerry will leave you a little fire wood if you’d like to sit down by the little fire pit they have. Sara & Jerry are both kind, gracious, & hospitable people with a great love for the island & their community. Highly recommend!

Janie was a lovely host and her home is beautiful. The beach is an easy walk with lots of friendly neighbors. The beach was perfect for my son with plenty of sea creatures and shallow water. The bathroom is gorgeous and I loved the bedroom bedding and the bed was super comfy. Her husband made such beautiful and creative furniture making it feel extra special.

I had an incredible stay at this Airbnb near Mount Rainier! It was everything I was looking for in a peaceful getaway. The location was perfect, as close as you could get to the mountain, making it super convenient for hiking and exploring the park. The apartment was cozy and quiet. The hosts were thoughtful, ensuring everything was clean and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Mount Rainier. Highly recommend!

Perfect place to recover after surgery. The variety of places to sit and relax was excellent. Really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook including good quality knives and cookware (much better than many other places I've stayed). Lots of thoughtful details like beach towels and chairs, outdoor blankets, binoculars to watch birds and boats, extra blankets and pillows. The host was responsive to a couple of special needs and we enjoyed the baked goods they provided. It is a bit of a drive to restaurants or grocery stores which was fine for us. It was perfect for rest and relaxation.

Our stay was amazing! Everything we needed was provided. The view was awesome and had a big relaxing lakeside view with chairs. Firepit provided to make s’mores and hang out by the lake under the stars. Would stay again! 10/10

Beautiful location and quiet! Trains not loud at all! Such beautiful views and lovely accommodations.

Beautiful and quite area. Would stay again.

If you want a cozy, welcoming old house, this is perfect for you. Our family loves old houses, and this has so much character. The lake access is so nice, and Emily supplies so many water toys. Every size life jackets, flippers, tubes, pool noodles, kayaks, a canoe, and a paddleboard. There is something for everyone, even if you like to just sit on the dock and watch the families of geese. We would have loved to stay here a week! Unfortunately we could only be here 1 night.

Everything about this wonderful home is exactly the vibe I needed for this family trip. The home, the area, and especially the hospitality and attentiveness of Rich. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. Just one thing... there is a tree blocking the view of Mt. Rainer. I have never hated a tree before, but I definitely hate that tree. 😝

House was gorgeous. The kiddos in our group were thrilled to find a triple bunk bed not shown in photos in the game room. Beds were comfortable and great outdoor space. Kitchen was well stocked. Many bedrooms didn’t have blinds but owners provided eye shades. It’s a bit of a hike down to the beach but trail and stairs are in good condition.

The place was amazing. The host was very easy to get ahold of . The place was clean .

Our stay at the Ostrich nest was great! Right on the water, with plenty of amenities and a fantastic outdoor space to take advantage of. We kayaked around the island in about 95 leisurely minutes using the provided kayaks and paddles. A/C was available but not needed - yet good to know it was there. The kitchen had everything you'd expect from a short term rental as well. All in all, it was a good weekend.

The photos do not lie. Very peaceful spacious accommodations. The kayaks were wonderful for a peaceful late afternoon paddle. It is true that the path to the beach is very steep and not for the faint of heart or legs. The only slight drawback is that sound carries very easily through the air ducts, so if you're in the master bedroom, you will hear what's going on downstairs. But all in all, I would not hesitate to stay here again and again.

We had such a lovely stay here over the Easter weekend – it was everything we hoped for and more! The house is clean, beautifully kept, and the views? Absolutely breathtaking. It’s one of those rare places that feels even better in person than in the pictures. It had everything we could possibly need – and then some. The hosts were simply wonderful – super friendly, accommodating, and just really easy to talk to. They made the whole experience feel warm and personal, not distant or transactional in any way. They even let us check in early and check out late, which made a huge difference for us with kids. Our days were filled with beach walks, seafood harvesting adventures, backyard chill time, and gorgeous sunsets. It felt like a perfect little reset from our busy lives. We were also celebrating our daughter’s 4th birthday during the stay, and she had an absolute blast. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Dale & Carol.

We were visiting family in Tacoma, so staying near by was the best option. We came home late often but felt safe. Great condo in a beautiful neighborhood with the best views of the bay. Ron communicated well with all the necessary info/issues. Check out his recommendations in his guidebook. Would definitely stay again!

Ron's condo is quiet, comfortable, and really convenient to the heart of Tacoma. The combination of the cozy interior and quiet setting, with the ability to go quickly to sights and good food is exceptional. The interior is spacious and feels "full-sized" compared to some alternatives with the same specs.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while in town. The condo was exactly what we needed — clean, quiet, and incredibly relaxing after long days taking care of business. The view of the Puget Sound was absolutely stunning. We loved watching the boats go by — it really made the space feel like a peaceful retreat. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for comfort and great scenery in North Tacoma!

Great location, wonderful neighborhood! It was walking distance to where I have been working. Very safe! I lived the patio with a great view of the harbor. Great value!!

We stayed here for a month and it was lovely. The neighborhood is peaceful, beautiful, and well-located with a variety of parks and amenities just a short drive (or medium walk) away. The unit itself is comfortable and practical with the added bonus of a lovely partial view of the water and being amidst beautiful trees that catch the morning light well. Ron is very responsive and helpful, which made making requests easy. We had a great time exploring Tacoma with this unit as a home base, and I would definitely book again with Ron in the future.

Breanna is an ANGEL!!! Not only was her place perfect so was she!! He place is beach front! Super beautiful area. She had accommodations. I had an emergency arise while I was staying and she saved me out of a serious pinch helping me with her own money!! She is seriously the best host anyone could ever ask for. Beyond floored with how amazing Breanna is. Thanks so much!
