Unique Urban Sanctuary

About this space
When you walk into this house, you enter into a delightful, colorful, art-filled home that is unlike anything else you will find in Tacoma. Ideally situated just 2 short blocks from the bustling 6th Ave restaurants, bars & coffee shops, this home is truly a sanctuary. Every corner, inside & out has something special to discover. You and your group will find comfort, relaxation and joy in this peaceful home. And in the summertime, the colorful, joyful backyard is truly magical! An rental gem.
The space
The house is situated on a narrow, safe street (cars can't drive by fast) with wonderful neighbors and a cool vibe. Each of our three bedrooms has a queen bed and is uniquely decorated and set up for your ultimate comfort. The living and dining areas are perfectly set up for your group to really enjoy being together. The kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with most anything you might need. We are so excited for you to discover our little peace of heaven in Tacoma! And the backyard is truly an “urban sanctuary”!
Guest access
The entire house is yours - no other guests on the property. And in the summertime, the backyard and garden areas provide a private retreat that you will love! The garden provides shade on hot days but also has sun for those who want that too.
Other things to note
We encourage you to take the time to discover some of the little details about the house and decorations, from the Mexican tiles in the upstairs bathroom to the one-of-kind art spread throughout the house to all the hidden gems in the garden. Especially take the time to read the newspaper clipping (taped to the window of the garage) all about Jim, the owner of the home who created or collected almost everything you see throughout the property!
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from 6th Ave. Enjoy features like a water park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the vacation home.

Colorful and Cozy, But Ants on Everything
We recently stayed at this unique and colorful property, which offered great privacy and a welcoming atmosphere. However, we experienced a significant ant problem throughout our stay, with ants found in the bedrooms (including on the bed), kitchen (even inside the salt shaker), and the upstairs bathroom, where it was the worse. They got on our toothbrushes and personal items. The ants also ended up on our crawling baby, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. While the property manager was responsive and had pest control come the next day, the issue persisted, making our stay less enjoyable. If the ant problem were better addressed, we would consider staying again.

BEST Place to STAY!
This place is by far the very BEST! It is very clean, has so much color, very comfortable, has BIG rooms, and is a hidden gem! It is very spacious, and each room has so much to offer! The property manager is very quick to respond and is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place. It is also located in a quiet area! The backyard is an oasis full of treasures. It is very peaceful and relaxing! We will definitely come back when we are in town. Overall rating of 5
