This is by far the best VRBO in Parkland. We stayed here repeatedly while visiting our daughter who was attending PLU. The garage is able to be used for parking your car - which is great. The beds are so comfortable and everything in the house up to date. It has a well-stocked kitchen/pantry. I couldn't recommend this place any higher. Their tagline says "your home away from home" - that is so true. Over the years we have stayed it began to feel like our second home. Julie is amazing, a great communicator and so thoughtful. If you stay here you won't regret it. I would give more than five stars if I could.

Great home, comfortable stay!

So many “extras” were considered when this rental home was set up, appreciate how well the kitchen was stocked with tools, mixing bowls, etc. Comfortable bedding. Owner very quick to respond!

Excellent property!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The check in process was super easy. The house is very neat and clean. There were extra goodies like coffee pods, tea, snacks and toiletries that were a nice added touch. The property was a good central location between the LeMay Car Museum and the fairgrounds in Puyallup where we went to a fantastic car show. We sat on the back porch to drink our morning coffee and tea while being entertained by a couple of squirrels.

Enjoyed our stay at Julie's place

We enjoyed our stay at Julie's place. The place was new, clean, welcoming, and we overall enjoyed our stay. There were a few hiccups with the fire alarms going off, but thankfully she had replacement units. Beds were very comfortable, and not cheap foam mattresses like a lot of rentals have. We rented Julie's place quite in advance of our stay and she was great about keeping in communication with us as well. The unit also had all the kitchen supplies you need and snacks as well :). One of the best rental units we've stayed in.

Very clean and organized

We stayed at this property while visiting my daughter who lives in Tacoma and is stationed at the Base. I stayed there with two adult children so appreciated the queen beds in each bedroom. The townhouse was very clean and well organized; kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes, towels and linens were all clean. The owner had snacks available for us and a lovely sparkling apple juice in the fridge waiting for us. A Keurig coffee maker is provided and there was plenty of coffee and tea for us to use. Added bonus is there is a garage for one car. There is also a grill and an outside sitting area which, given the time of year, we did not use. The ad mentions there is parking for two cars and we found that to be true, we kept one in the garage and one in front of the garage. There is no street parking in front of the unit. The unit is very convenient in terms of food shopping and access to the highway is just a few miles away, it is about a block from Pacific Avenue which is a busy commercial street. You can walk to some restaurants and coffee places. I want to thank the owners for making our stay over the holidays feel so welcoming. Knowing we were coming in for the holidays, we were pleasantly surprised to find some holiday decorations. Thank you.

This place is exactly as you see in the pics - Everything is spot on. As we are gluten free we prepare 99% of what we eat - and it was so wonderful that the kitchen was very well equipped with top line pots pans utensils, appliances.The only thing I'm annoyed about is that I found the recliner button on the lounge chair THE LAST NIGHT before we were leaving - I'd only found the head rest button earlier, which didn't make sense at all...until days later when I accidentally discovered the other other button - That's some chair! We'll have to come back to enjoy that perk - REMEMBER; TWO side by side buttons ! lol10/10

The home was exactly as described, very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed and more! It was conveniently located close to several restaurants, grocery stores, and a Walgreens. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it! The host was quick to respond to any questions and gave us clear instructions. We look forward to staying there again next time we visit Tacoma!
