Pampered in Point Defiance

We had a wonderful stay at Randy's lovely home in Ruston/Point Defiance, WA. It is a great location, just minutes from the waterfront and the beautiful new Point Defiance Park. The home was very clean and well equipped. Very comfortable bed and sofa sleeper and great bathroom! Lovely yard with access to nicely furnished patio. (We hope you are able to enjoy some great sunsets like were.) We have only wonderful comments about the property, but even better was Randy's hospitality!! Communication before and throughout our stay was quick, easy and effective. Randy greeted us when we arrived to give us details about the property. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a generous selection of treats and drinks which Randy left to welcome us, even taking into consideration the dietary restrictions we have! He even dropped off a dessert from a specialty bakery in Seattle one day during our two week stay!! We really didn't have any "needs" after we arrived but Randy was always available with answers and suggestions when we reached out to him with questions. I believe Randy truly loves providing a wonderful, relaxing location for his guests and it brings him great pleasure when they enjoy their stay at his property. Terrific Property! Wonderful Location! Great Price! AWESOME HOST! Without a doubt, RANDY IS THE BEST HOST we have ever stayed with at a short term rental property!!! We plan to return as often as possible and highly recommend this wonderful Home away from Home!!

Fantastic location, accommodations AND host

We had a short stay while preparing for our relocation to the area, and loved this place. Randall is the best VRBO host we've ever had. The unit was clean and super well stocked to make our stay extra easy - the house is located very close to Point Defiance and great restaurants. We plan to suggest Randall's place to any visitors after we've moved to the Tacoma ourselves very soon.

Location, location . . .

Didn't have a car this trip. Didn't need one. Tacoma is a great walking town and this places you a healthy walk away from almost anything you need. Antique Sandwich Co. a few blocks away along with the sedate neighborhood restaurant Macaluso. A short walk further puts you in Pt. Defiance Park or on the Ruston waterfront. The essential place, Metropolitan Market, is a few miles away. Either a serious walk or Uber through Tacoma's beautiful North End. Randy is a wonderful host, there to show you around at first and always a text away. I live in an old house so was impressed by the "smart" aspects of the place, climate controlled by tablet etc. There is everything I could need and some good Washington wine too which put it over the top. Best of all was the quiet. City sounds are far away, not intrusive like in L. A. One of my new favorite places to stay.

We were in Tacoma for 2 weeks scouting a possible move. I can't say enough about our host, so attentive and responsive without being overbearing. Greeted us with wine, the most amazing cookies and ice cream and Randy's10* treatment of his guests made our trip delightful. Property is central to all the parks, restaurants, etc. and couldn't have served our needs better. Really don't know how a host could top or even match the care given my family by Randy.
