Holiday rentals with a kayak in Tacoma

This place is magical. It has a panoramic view of the lake, and wildlife galore. We watched two Canada geese families just feet from the windows, and duck parents with their ducklings shared the yard with the geese, deer, and a bunny. The home is spacious and nicely decorated. I did a lot of cooking while there, and I found all utensils I needed. Thanks, Michelle, for keeping pantry items left by previous guests! Our 4 day stay was delightful in this tranquil setting, and we would love to return.

Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Fantastic home! Made so many great memories with my family, combing the beach and exploring Washington. A perfect base camp for recharging after a long day of adventures! This home is great for young children. We would definitely stay here again!

Dave's place was truly amazing! It was so spacious and easily accommodated the 7 of us with plenty of room to spare. Not only was the home beautiful, but the surrounding area was just as beautiful. the beach and boardwalk was great for walks. Dave was very responsive to our questions and needs. He had everything we could have asked for. would absolutely recommend his place and would love to stay here again sometime.

Beautiful property with a really responsive host. One of my favorite places we’ve stayed at on AirBNB through and through. Would visit here many times again!

We loved the space. Great views. Windows for days. We even measured some spaces in the house to incorporate into our home build. It’s not a large home but it feels so spacious with all the natural light. Truly feels like home. It’s not a cheap rental but the value is all there. We would love to return sometime! Zero complaints and I’d highly recommend the stay for anyone looking to visit the area.

Celia, thank you for a wonderful stay! The place was beautiful outside and in, while also being comfortable. We were able to find what we needed fairly easily, and spend time with our friends. The kitchen had almost everything we needed (Please add a bottle opener!). There were instructions to get down into the boathouse and dock, door keys, etc. Loved soaking up the views!

South sound is one of our favorite weekend destinations for relaxing at a waterfront cabin, but until now we had never stayed on the Key Peninsula. Caitlin's house was the perfect spot to do that--located right on the protected Filucy Bay with 3 kayaks available to launch right off the beach. Plus convenient to the two state parks and about a 15-minute drive back to Key Center for groceries. The house itself is fairly compact and perfect for a single family--two ensuite bedrooms, with the master being a loft with one of the best views for drinking coffee in bed you'll ever see). The kitchen and dining table also have an expansive view, so you won't miss out while cooking. But the real draw is the enormous patio space--I'm always itching to explore but on our second day we just spent the entire afternoon playing board games outside and enjoying the view.

A gorgeous spot on the lake - especially loved the fireplaces, hot tub, and dock w/ a view of Mount Rainier!

This is a cozy little spot that makes for a perfect retreat from the world while still having some great amenities just a mile or two down the green winding roads. I can't wait to bring the pups back later this summer when the lake warms up!

Superhost rankings are well earned (and I've found) well deserved. Shelly is a Superhost for a reason. The Lake House in the Woods is everything that you'd expect from a premium listing. Comfortable, quiet, well appointed, and yes, the star of the show is most definitely the lake view showcased by majestic Mt. Ranier on the horizon. During our stay, each night ended with a dip in the hot tub alongside cocktails. If the ultimate endorsement is time spent at an Airbnb - we asked Shelly to extend our stay - twice. We'll be back!

Beautiful and well-maintained property. Great, attentive and thoughtful hosts. Had the best lake life for the weekend!

We celebrated a birthday here with 5 adults and a newborn, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home is beautifully decorated with such kindness and thought—it felt incredibly cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We spent our days kayaking on the water, spotting seals, birds, and even a curious raccoon who came to visit the porch during dinner! It was such a special feeling to be so close to nature, yet so comfortable at the same time. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook delicious dinners together, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the house. My guests kept commenting on how much love clearly went into this home. And the deck… absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t have wished for a better birthday. Truly a magical and memorable stay—we can’t wait to come back!

I visited the cottage to escape the city for a few days. This place is absolutely adorable— completely drenched in natural sunlight. It manages to maintain its historical charm while also feeling modern. I did some remote work during the visit & the WiFi worked perfectly— I could even get signal sitting outside. It was a little too chilly to take advantage of the water, but even just sitting outside on the floating dock or the balcony provided a lot of peace. This place is the perfect mixture of providing a secluded feel while still being just a short drive to grocery/ restaurants. I truly loved my stay here & am already trying to figure out when I might be back!

I wish we had had more time in Lake Tapps and our stay there. You couldn’t ask for a better lakeside view and sunsets! The space was a good size for two adults and was in great condition. Very clean. Complimentary snacks and available use of kayaks, SUPs, fire pit, etc. were a nice touch, even if we didn’t get the chance to utilize all of them! Suzy was super nice and super responsive. If we find ourselves in or around Seattle again, I hope we can go back!

Jacob's place is really special! The view and outdoor seating area would make this spot worth it, but the house is also really well taken care of, cozy, and enjoyable to spend time in. We loved our time here and felt it was a great home base for exploring the area or relaxing on the water.

Though previous guest lost 2 canoe, the host informed me the situation. The place let us forget the pity and we really had great time.

We had a wonderful and peaceful vacation weekend in Allyn! Fang’s home was easy to get to and settle into. We loved watching the water and tides, and it was easy to walk to restaurant, coffee shops and more. We spent most of our days on day trips in the region (Staircase Ridge & Hama Hama Oysters, and the Tacoma Zoo). This was the perfect place to recharge. We also loved the kayaks and hot tub, and generally cozy space. Fang was proactive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay as well.

I hesitate to reveal how great Carl's place is because I don't want it to become so popular that it becomes hard for me to book. The setting is spectacular. If you like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans everything you need. There are also basic staples that renters can use. If you don't like to cook, a lakeside restaurant is a short walk from Carl's. The restaurant is currently open Wed- Sun. We went on a couple of short hikes that were close by. Millersylvania Park is about a 15 min. drive. We also enjoyed seeing the Monarch Butterfly Sculpture Garden. Lots of outdoor art and a fun area for kids (or adults) to play in. I had some questions for Carl and he always responded quickly and clearly. Carl and Sue make available everything that the renter might forget to bring: Toothbrushes, Q-tips, shampoo, etc. Did I mention the jar of chocolates? We are not fishing enthusiasts, but it looks like that could be fun. Carl also has kayaks & life vests.

Stunning views, a lot of water activities. The place is cute and comfortable, will come back!

Molly was the most helpful host, the drive way sneaks up on you but if you read all the items before check in youll know exactly what to look for. The photos Molly provided were so helpful and she was extremely understanding and responsive. The space was absolutely PEACEFUL and perfect for families. The amount of items left for guests to use made everything very simple, lifejackets in all sizes including little pups, kitchen items and plenty of towels. If you can't figure something out through pictures or the check in binder, Molly is right there friendly and ready to help.

Beautiful cottage on the water! The surroundings are very peaceful. Nice to watch the tides. the kitchen was well outfitted includingna gas range and teapot! Loved it, thanks, Erin!

The Hideaway was everything we hoped it would be and more. The hosts made sure the house was clean and inviting. They also provided so many unexpected and wonderful details…luxury bath products, a basket of snacks, a dog bed and toy for our pup…and they even setup the firewood in the main fire pit so we didn’t even have to struggle building our own fire! Plus! Don’t even get me started on the sauna…it was EVERYTHING. We have stayed at a good number of Air bnb places over the years and this was far and away our favorite place. It’s beautiful. Book it!

Wonderful place, has to be the best one on the lake, unobstructed view of the lake and no zero houses on the opposite side, you literally looking at the forest after the lake ends from the patio. Great fishing spot too, we caught lots of trout and sunfish. Respectful neighbors around, was very quiet during our stay there. We’ve had an extremely relaxing time! Billie is a great host! It was definitely one of our top stays of all time!
