Waterfront vacation rentals in Tacoma

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!

great location and fun place to stay!

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb. The unit was clean, the location was peaceful, and to hosts were so friendly. We needed a relaxing stay, and that is what we got.

Such a relaxing place to stay! A true beachcombers dream, the water is truly steps away from the back door. DJ and Karen have thought of everything, even offering kayak rentals on-site and excellent restaurant recommendations! The weekend was truly everything we needed and we look forward to coming back again in the future!

I really enjoyed my stay. It was close to the ferries and the bus. I definitely will let others know about this place and would use it again should I come back to Seattle.

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!

We had a fantastic stay! The home had everything we needed: a full kitchen, clean bathroom, two comfy bedrooms, two cozy sitting rooms, and a washer/dryer—which was a huge help with our baby. It was fully stocked with fresh linens, towels, and blankets. The outdoor patio with a fire pit and stunning water views was a perfect place to relax. Jill and Gregg were wonderful hosts—warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Jill even greeted us with homemade brownies and a bottle of wine! The house is family-friendly and included a pack and play, which made traveling with our 4-month-old so much easier. If you’re visiting the Fox Island or Gig Harbor area, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem. We would absolutely stay here again!

The apartment was super clean, really comfy, and had everything we needed. It felt cozy and relaxing — like a little home away from home.

Wonderful stay in a wonderful home, very peaceful, just what we were looking for.

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Your place is elegant, comfortable, and so well thought out. We relaxed. Watched the herons, plunged in the sea at Fay Bainbridge, and took advantage of everything Bainbridge has to offer. I hope to come back! Have a great summer.

We enjoyed staying at Jeffri’s beautiful lake house! Their home is spacious and clean. The nature surroundings and wild life were lovely. One morning we enjoyed watching two deer walk through the yard! This is definitely a stay to remember!🥰

We had an amazing stay at the Eagle's Lookout Lodge! The place is so cozy and comfortable and the views inside and outside are stunning! We loved the different spaces to play and hang out in. The deck is magical, and is perfect for those hot and sunny days as you're nestled in beautiful shaded trees. We loved eating outside and having quiet evening chats around the fire pit. Melissa was very responsive and available for any needs or questions, and there were some real lovely personal touches to the place and experience. I can't wait to come back!

We placed a reservation months prior to our stay, so it goes without saying we’d been anticipating it - but I’m serious when I say the ONLY disappointment of staying at Nikki’s place was having to leave! From check in to check out - we had a wonderful time. The view is unparalleled - with substantial changes of tide and filled with wildlife, either swooping in from above (bald eagles) or popping up from below (otters, seals and even an orca whale). The home itself has everything you’d need - it’s literally jaw dropping how stunning it is. When a storm rolls in, It makes it easy to deal with (you could spend all day inside and be thankful for the view)…. And when the weather clears? It’s hard to describe, you just need to see it. The stairs are real - but my own mom (who’s in her 70s) had no problems with it - well lit and maintained - just pack smartly, else get a workout. This has been our top stay and we’ve had some GREAT ones. Nikki made everything easy. We hope to return!

Kenny & Kelly’s place was absolutely lovely. We stopped there as a place to rest and relax for a few days during our cross country road trip from Massachusetts with our dog, Fox. The water right outside our door was a dream. We did find some small pieces of glass and there are sharp rocks on the beach/yard. Not the fault of the owners, just the nature of a WA beach. But definitely recommend watching out for children’s feet, wear water shoes as well as dog paws. Our dog did cut his paw pretty bad on some glass while swimming, unfortunately. But again, this just comes with beach play. We brought our paddleboard and went out one day and that was absolutely perfect. We saw so much wildlife. The sun room was where we spent most of our time. Our dog, and we, loved watching the wildlife and the tide go in and out through the big glass windows. We would definitely stay here again if in the area!

No ikea furniture, heavenly beds, ultra clean and superb location. Being a fan of cold plunges it couldn’t be better, step out and jump into a 9oC lake (April). Unbeatable view and relaxing atmosphere. If you’re planning on sleeping in, don’t forget your eye mask or sleep in the lower floor. Great location at 15 minutes from the airport and 30 from Tacoma and Seattle. I appreciate people who take good care of their space and ask the same in return. Alex was a splendid host and the house will be our first option when we come back to Seattle. A++ host

Perfect location. Right by Pike Place Market. Lovely view. Very quiet in the condo. Very comfortable beds and living room. Extremely well equipped kitchen. We loved our stay here and will book again here.

We just had an amazing time in Robert’s place - made extra special because we could park our car easily there and go absolutely everywhere by foot! The apartment was extremely well equipped, comfortable and Robert was an exceptionally responsive and proactive host. We’ll be back!

Bindu was exceptionally accommodating and gracious during our stay. She responded promptly to every message, helped us better understand the apartment and the surrounding area, and even facilitated an extension over Mother’s Day when our plans changed. I’ll definitely return—this was a lovely experience. Thank you so much.

We loved our stay in Seattle, and this property was excellent for our family of three. Our 7 year old took the couch and we had a grand old time walking around the area and watching the sun set on the water. It was very clean and had great instructions for all areas of the property. We felt safe knowing our car was secured and we were in a great area. Wonderful experience!

We absolutely loved our stay at this apartment! The location is fantastic—easily walkable to many of Seattle’s top sights, yet tucked in a spot that felt peaceful and relaxing. The apartment was beautifully set up for our three-generation family of six, with plenty of space, a great kitchen, and thoughtful touches throughout. One of our favorite features was the patio with a view of the water—a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. For the location and amenities, this was a great value. Our trip was relatively short, but we’re already hoping to come back and stay longer. Highly recommended!

This is an absolutely gorgeous property in the heart of Seattle. Pike Place Market, with all it has to offer, is a short walk away as is the Seattle Aquarium! Two large bedrooms, a lovey sitting room overlooking the water and a great view of the Olympic Mountains. Our host met us and was thoroughly delightful and left us with a lovely basket of goodies. This is an exceptional rental.

Loved staying at Jeri's place, she is an amazing host, always available, so friendly and funny! Her place is unique and very comfortable -there is a great spa tub i didn't remember being mentioned -could have spent my whole vacay in that tub ! I actually stayed at 2 Airbnb's while in Seattle (the other was not good), would definitely book Jeri's again !

I had a great stay at this condo! The host provided very thorough check-in instructions and was excellent with communication throughout my visit. The condo was spotless and well-maintained, making it a comfortable place to relax. I did pay an extra fee for early check-in, but the front desk staff mentioned early check-in is usually allowed without an additional charge—something to clarify in the future. Overall, a positive experience and I’d definitely consider staying here again.
