Beach Town Mid-Century Modern Home with Stunning views of Mountains + Sound !
This beautiful and comfortable home is for the “value” conscious renter -with a monthly option discount, no cleaning fee for those who stay 4 days or more, and additional 5% discount for 7 day stays. With autumn coming , it is perfect for couples looking for a cozy and romantic beach retreat. A bit off the city grid, ( short 3 miles to city of Tacoma and 50 minutes to Seattle) it is a quiet place for family get togethers , good friends uniting again from all over, or graduation ,and wedding parties. With birds peacefully chirping, mature bushes and trees, the retreat comfortably sleeps 4 to 8 guests. (Please see bedding configuration.)
This 2100 sq. ft. Mid-Century Modern home is sparkling clean and has room to spread out, plenty of space ,and lovely yard privacy.
This home was built in the early 1950s , on a hill overlooking Puget Sound. The Browns Point Light House Beach Park is a short walk. This property was recently stylishly remodeled and upgraded, keeping its original charm.
With an incredible view of water, islands, and mountains from most rooms, it is set in a quiet ,lush and mature treed yard usually with seasonal color.
Close to the beach ( 5 minute walk),and downtown Seattle ( 26 miles) and downtown Tacoma ( 8 miles), Gig Harbor (9 miles ) University of Puget Sound ( 5 miles). PLU. (8 miles) Weyerhauser / KC Aquatics Center and Pool ( 5miles.) Emerald Queen Casino and Concerts ( 14 miles). Wild Waves (14 miles). The Port of Tacoma, to the south, and a small local shopping center at Browns Point, will meets all of your vacation needs. ( Even a barber, pub, Asian take out ,and mail center.)You can walk to three restaurants or get take out ,if cooking , in a full kitchen and the grocery shopping is not in your overall plan. Relax, and enjoy a bottle of fine wine, or a cup of famous Seattle coffee, and relax in this stunning and private setting with Olympic mountain and Puget Sound views. Most of the year, this home has colorful ,well groomed and tended grounds. It is the location for the best NW sunsets! OMG, Sunsets.
This is a 4 bedroom , 2. & 1/2 bath ( with bonus lower level and a 4th bed/ "bedroom can sleep up to 7 adults )Note: the Master Bedroom & Bathroom is 6 steps up above the main floor which has two bedrooms. A sophisticated home,with hardwood floors and rugs , it exudes a private sense of historic and architectural grandeur from the moment you open the door.
It is also a very bright home, lots of windows with an ever changing water views of sailboats ,and large cargo ships headed out to Asia., Enjoy passing clouds coming onto the mainland from the southwest. Ocean Liners quietly glide in/out of Port, and spectacular lingering sunsets to the west.
This Dash/ Browns Point sunset home , on a sunny day , has a Billion dollar view of snow capped mountains and gorgeous sunsets over Puget sound... the perfect backdrop for entertaining, meditating ,and relaxing.
The home is the kind of place you will love to visit all year round - It has portable AC to augment natural air-conditioning off the coastline, with fans for summer and an central heating for winter - and space heaters
Each season has it's charm. Winter is the time to live like a local with a “real” fireplace .
Spring bloom in the yard,, Summer roses, and Autumn is magical with fall color ,and with new snow on the distant peaks until June. Autumn has warm hues from late September until- late October.
Seattle summers are spectacular with just minutes to Tacoma's waterfront district beach front and fabulous restaurants on Ruston Way , or drive north to experience Seattle's downtown Pike Place Market and waterfront. Two prime NW beaches are within walking or biking distance away.. To the east is Federal Way.
Consider a trip up to Mt. Rainier. In case some days you do not want to go anywhere, you can enjoy the impressive terraced garden decks, which is definitely the hallmark of this property., which creates the desire to remain outside ,relaxing and listening to birds sing .. A magical place surrounded by nature ( eagles and sea birds) and manicured grounds.
Locally.., It is a short walk to the old historical lighthouse and the large waterfront beach park. A small shopping center with a market, bar and grill, dry cleaner, mailbox service and a pizza/Indian restaurant are close. Dash Point State Park is great for picnics, hikes and beach combing. There's also a well-equipped kitchen for self-catering opening onto the magical terrace ( with BBQ) overlooking the gardens and water views . The kitchen is jam-packed with all the utensils you could need: dishwasher, fridge-freezer, oven, microwave, toaster, , wine glasses... not to mention iron and washing machine in the separate laundry room and hairdryer in the bathroom.
The large master suite upstairs also have stunning views with a large "above the world" deck off of the master bedroom. The bathroom has a huge walk in-open shower. There are two more bedrooms with one and three-quarter's bathrooms. plus a 1/2 bathroom on the lower level. (basement). The master bedroom has French doors out to the view expansive upper deck. This Seattle beachside community is generally cool in summer and mild in winter.
. Your favorite room will be the Living Room, which boasts of a beautiful old stone fire place, comfortable couches, and large windows that showcase an array of spectacular trees ,rose gardens , birds and sweeping Puget Sound views.
If you have read this far... “Please.. come check it out and stay with us!"Cheers, David and Paige

My family had a great time! Very quiet and comfortable, not too far from everything. Host was super accommodating! We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful views, Quiet, Well equipped kitchen, well maintained yard with a beautiful Blue Hydrangea, Near by access to:
Parks, Botanical Garden, Light House,food and restaurants.
Perfect spot for family to stay during Thanksgiving. Rooms comfortable and clean. Well stocked. Great parking. Easy check in and check out. Host was responsive and very helpful!!!
We had an insurance claim and needed to be out of the house for a week. This location was perfect and was able to house the family comfortably for the duration.
This is a lovely mid-century modern updated house with lots of outside patios and decks to enjoy the views. Very clean and comfortable. Stunning upstairs main bedroom & bath! Great communication with the Host. Would definitely stay there again.
David was fantastic to communicate with! We had some questions and he responded immediately with just what we needed. Excellent location, beautiful views, and dogs loved it. You will enjoy your vacation even more when you stay here!
We stayed here while visiting for a wedding. The location is great, the owner was super friendly, responsive and accommodating. The property has almost anything that is needed (just missing more mixing bowls in kitchen). Besides that minor thing everything else was perfect. We highly recommend this place and would stay again.
Great patio view with nice potted plants. Plenty of room for 4 female adults with separate rooms. Enjoyed the Cliff House restaurant and going into different parts of town each day. Host David easy to work with. Thank you
My friends and I stayed here during a trip to support a friend whose mother had just passed. It was a great place to reflect, laugh, and cry. We loved sitting on the deck and outdoor table/chairs to take in the view and the beautiful sunsets, and by the fireplace at night when it got chillier. We also enjoyed the foggy mornings, with the sounds of the foghorn from the lighthouse. This place was just what we needed -- a serene gathering spot, but not too far from great restaurants in Tacoma.
We stayed here for a week. The home was spacious with bedrooms on multiple levels. The master bath had an amazing shower along with double sinks. We planned on cooking outside on the grill. The existing grill was no longer working, but David (property owner) delivered a brand new grill the very next day.
The sunsets looking out over the water and behind the mountain view were gorgeous as advertised.
The home had a nice yard, plenty of outdoor seating, lots of flowers and even a raspberry bush in the front with ripe berries. We’d definitely stay here in the future.
This property had beautiful views and multiple areas to gather with the family. Unfortunately, the listing says the bedrooms all have king size beds and a Queen downstairs. The main floor bedrooms only had queen beds and the basement had a full-size bed. The larger beds were part of the reason I chose this property, so I was unhappy with the incorrect listing info. The host wanted us to open doors to cool down the house, but there are no screen doors or screens on windows and bugs were abundant. This would be a good home to visit when it is not so hot outside!
We really enjoyed an intimate family gathering with beautiful Sunsets. The location was great for our purposes and we found time to relax and unwind and hike catching up over coffee and nice meals. We chose to use the kitchen to prepare our own meals instead of eating at restaurants all weekend. The kitchen was equipped with all the things we needed to be able to cook. That made our experience more enjoyable with several family members with different food sensitivities and allergies. We did notice that the kitchen could use a few polishing touches, like a knife sharpener, some new pots and pans, and some minor reorganization. None of these things took away from our experience, and could really set the next guests up for an even better time.
We did notice ants throughout the house. The host got back to us right away and let us know that it’s not a problem because they were
Start with the drive in, you think you are in the wrong area, but when you arrive, the view in person is better than the picture in the description of the property. Homey, inviting, relaxing, mesmerizing views. If you are going for vacation, this time of year was just sheer BLISS. If you are looking at this property, do not pass it by. The property owner even checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our stay and if there was anything we needed. So gracious. Not going into too much detail, David went above and beyond for a request we had, as I was visiting my daughter that I had not seen in 2+ years. We are not letting anymore time go by, we are already planning for another visit to see my daughter in 2 months, if given the opportunity, we know where we will be staying. Need to mention, my daughter has a large service dog, weight not an issue with the owner. If I may just add a personal note to others; a service animal is a vital part to a veteran, disabled person, blind, etc., please do not use your "family animal" claiming a service animal just so you can take them on vacation. A service animal has specialized training, if your animal is on the furniture, it is a family pet. Other than my rant, this home is an A+.
Had a wonderful stay, comfortable home, excellent communication with host, and lotsTo see and do nearby. We certainly saw a lot in a week’s time, well worth the trip!Thanks again for opening your home to us! The view is spectacular from the deck, enjoyed lotsOf great fireworks on the 4th from the people around us and from the surrounding towns, whichWas awesome!!Thanks again David
David was extremely helpful before and during our stay. The kitchen was beautifully stocked. The bathrooms were very beautiful. The views from the two decks were gorgeous.
We had family visiting for the weekend and they were so thankful for this beautiful home. It’s in a very quiet and peaceful location close to the sound. Communication with the host was excellent. They are now looking forward to coming back and visiting again!
