Updated Tacoma Home w/ Patio: 3 Mi to Downtown

Escape from your daily routine to this newly furnished 4-bed, 1.5-bath vacation rental in scenic Tacoma! This modern Washington abode offers 2,100 square feet of tastefully furnished living space with modern accents, stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, a porch, and spacious yard with a patio. Whether you're in town to tan in Point Defiance Park, explore the Puget Sound, or take a day tour of Mt. Rainier Park, this is a fantastic outdoor lover's home-away-from-home!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Pets Welcome w/ Fee | 2,100 Sq Ft

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: 2 Twin Beds | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed | Bedroom 4: Queen Bed | Additional Sleeping: Portable Crib w/ Mattress

Nestled in the peaceful North End of Tacoma, this spacious family-oriented residence offers a modern interior with plenty of high-end accents. Spend your days exploring the Puget Sound with your travel companions followed by sunset cocktails on the private back patio!

Feel a sense of peace and tranquility the moment you arrive at this beautifully landscaped home and step onto the hardwood flooring. With plenty of unique modern accents, eclectic artwork, and a decorative stone-surrounded fireplace, you'll instantly feel at home in the comfortably furnished living room. The property also offers a portable crib with a mattress, a baby gate, and a crate.

Prepare a new recipe for dinner with your loved ones in the fully equipped, gourmet kitchen. Boasting a professional grade 5-burner stovetop with 2 ovens, gorgeous cabinetry, a Nespresso coffee machine, and expansive countertops, this high-end kitchen has it all!

After a day of excitement, head back to the house to relax in the backyard. Let Fido get some exercise in the yard while you enjoy a wine and cheese board and a tranquil Washington sunset! If you're looking for a change of scenery, the front of the house offers 2 benches, ample lush foliage, and a front porch.

As your eyes start to get heavy, make your way to one of the 4 comfortably furnished bedrooms to hit the sack. Kids love the second bedroom with 2 twin beds while couples or close friends can make themselves comfortable on one of the queen beds in the other 3 bedrooms.

-- THE LOCATION --

When you're not dining at the property, be sure to grab a bite to eat at one of the tasty restaurants nearby. Some local suggestions are the Pacific Grill, Honey Coffee + Kitchen, Montamara Kitchen, Pacific Southern, Dirty Oscar's Annex, and Tibbitts @ Fern Hill.

If you're looking to work on your tan or do some exploring, hop in the car and drive 13 minutes to Point Defiance Park. This bayfront park is located at the northern tip of Tacoma and boasts a Zoo & Aquarium, the famous Five Mile Drive, as well as a ferry to Tahlequah on Vashon Island!

Some other ideas for fun include visiting the Chihuly Bridge of Glass and the Tacoma Art Museum downtown, play a game of golf at one of the top-notch courses in the city like the Allenmore Golf Course, or enjoy one of the many local parks in the city. Auto enthusiasts can't resist exploring the famous LeMay - America's Car Museum (ACM) site!

Downtown Seattle is also just a 35-mile trek from your door if you want to make a day trip to explore the famous Pike Place Market.

Great house

We really loved the house and the location! It’s in a nice neighborhood where we weren’t worried about taking our kids for walks, and there were even a couple stores/restaurants close by that we could walk to if we wanted. The kids loved their room, and they loved the games downstairs as well as the backyard. We’d stay again!

An Outstanding House in a Charming Neigborhood

This is great and well appointed historical house that has all the charm you could hope for. The "Grey House" is a great example of early 20th century architecture and it is conveniently located near all sorts of great shops and restaurants. If you're looking for an upscale home-away-from-home, this abode is perfect for you.

Beautiful Historic Tacoma Home!

This was our second time staying in this Tacoma home and we love it! The decor is classy, clean and well thought out. The house is spacious and equipped with a game room, laundry and fenced yard that we took full advantage of with our family and dogs. Location is close to many things and walking distance from a couple local spots that we frequently dine or grab drinks at. We will stay here again when we plan another visit!

We loved this place. There is so much room and activities for the kids (we had 3 with us, 7, 10 and 12). The only negative is that there is only one shower but we knew that going in and made it work. We would definitely stay here again.

Look no further!

Our stay at the Gray House was wonderful and comfortable! The house was very nicely appointed and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have wanted and more. The beds were quite comfortable. The yard is lovely. Foosball in the cellar! Now that was a welcome addition. Checking in was simple and exit instructions clear. The neighborhood was peaceful and made for very nice strolls. Response from the rental contact was immediate. I would stay here again.

Great neighborhood. Historic house.

We enjoyed our stay - the house was great, perfect for what we needed. The renovations on the main floor are spectacular. We did not really use the second floor and basement. The yard was loose rocks but my dogs figured it out. Nice setting.

Great stay

We came to watch my granddaughter compete in her gymnastics. It was nice to be in a very comfortable home . It was nicely furnished and had all the pots and dishes you’d need. That area can be cold so I also liked that there were enough throw blankets. We had a bit of trouble opening the door with the code but glad there was a back up key🙂

We were refinishing our hardwood floors at our house and moved out for the week while the job was completed. Everything was perfect. Michaeal, the owner, was so helpful with everything and the house was perfect. It worked out great. Had lots of amenities stocked with everything you would need and very close by to where we live. It all worked out perfectly.

Tacoma vacation

The Gray House is located in a nice quiet neighborhood in the North End of Tacoma. It’s a historic home that has been nicely updated. There is a pretty fenced in backyard with lovely landscaping. Seniors take note that the front entrance does not have a handrail. There is a bedroom on the ground floor if you need to avoid steps. The TV has mostly streaming services so make sure you know your passwords.
