House holiday rentals in Des Moines

The home is gorgeous. So tranquil and peaceful -- my family took a week-long vacation on Vashon and Brita's was the perfect jumping-off point. The location is super private, the home architecture is extraordinary, and the backyard garden is expansive. If you're looking for a great place to rest and recharge, this is it. There is a lot of great dishware, artistic elements in the home, and incredible views throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

Amazing place to stay in Tacoma !! Highly recommended 🤙🏼

Peaceful, warm atmosphere with lots of space. Love the view out the living room window of the beautiful, green, forest-like backyard. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Lovely house with water views right within a quick drive of many Seattle area attractions. We had a great stay for a May wedding in the area. Allison has put a lot of thought into the house, with fun games, comfortable beds, and clear instructions for everything. Nearby Poulsbo is high on our list of recommendations.

The place was perfect for our lacrosse tourney weekend. Thanks for the great hospitality!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay, and it all started with the incredible hosts, Debi and Russell. From the moment we arrived, they were warm, welcoming, and truly made us feel like family. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and were always quick to respond to any questions. The home itself exceeded all expectations. The amenities were far beyond what we anticipated. The views—both day and night—were stunning, and the local wildlife was a delightful surprise. We even saw several bald eagles, which was a first for us! The house is incredibly spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi were a huge bonus and the perfect way to unwind after exploring Washington. The modern upgrades and appliances made our stay even more comfortable. There were also plenty of games and toys for kids—though our daughter spent most of her time enjoying the pool. You truly won’t be disappointed.

The house looks just as pictured and is beautifully decorated! You can tell there was a lot of thought put into it such as child safe locks on the toilet and outlets, shoe horn, slippers by the door, and lint roller hung up by the door. Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. Best part was it was extremely convenient and close to the airport which made the commute to our early flight a breeze. Only thing that could have been better is if I could get responses via messaging, otherwise, they were responsive by telephone.

In overall incredible experience with a very responsible host who is always available to answer any question

This is our second time staying here and it is PERFECT! It is a dream home and feels incredibly peaceful! This home has amazing amenities and everything you can possibly need. The soaking tub, sauna and massage chair is perfection. Both times staying here was sparkling clean, quiet and Tatiana has been a wonderful host! Thank you again, we will definitely be back :)

Place is as described. Our stay was comfortable and was surprisingly quiet considering that is it located right next to the airport. Katrina was very responsive and polite. Didn’t experience any issues during our stay. I highly recommend reserving your stay here. My family and I looking forward to rebooking again soon and will definitely utilize the clean hot tub again!

Wish I could give this more stars, place was comfortable and peaceful, close to the airport and easy to get into the city, but walkable to nearby beaches and cafe with coffee, beer, wine and food. Suzana was very easy to communicate with and was always quick to respond if we needed anything. Before our vacation ended, we were already planning our return - thanks for a great stay, Suzana!

Breathtakingly beautiful scenery on all sides of the house. Very professional host. Comfortable beds. Great personal touches. Right away you notice that you are much closer to the water than it looks in the photos. And in late May, so many flowers everywhere. I will never forget watching an eagle swoop down and grab a fish out of the water.

Our stay on the sound was so relaxing. We were able to spend lots of quality time with our grown kids. We all loved sitting on the deck and visiting. The main bedroom had a super soft comfy bed. Everyone else said the beds were also comfortable. Thank you!

Great stay and great Airbnb

Yue’s place offered the perfect staycation we needed! As other reviews have mentioned, the lower level suite is huge and squeaky clean. Even though the listing said no AC, we were sure either the AC was running or it was just naturally cool in the lower level. We were staying when it was 85 degrees in Seattle, but it was super nice and cool in the suite. The fenced patio (not yard as it was reserved for the owner only) was nice for anyone with a pet. Our shih tzu definitely appreciated it. Oh and you literally only need to walk down a block to reach the beach! All in all, what a perfect spot for a nice local getaway!

We had an amazing stay. The house and lake area were absolutely beautiful. wonderful kitchen and appliances, everything you could need. Very comfortable beds. The location was great right in between Tacoma and Seattle. The house had lots of natural light.

We enjoyed our stay at Melissa's place. The location was great. Sheets and towels were clean and comfortable. The house was very clean and had plenty of room for us to spread out. We slept great thanks to room darkening shades. Our family had a great time playing table tennis and kayaking, and had an easy time accessing the ferry to Seattle.

The home is beautifully decorated and the view is wonderful, especially from the dining room and decks! The house is furnished perfectly, beds are very comfortable. We cooked every day and we had every pot/pan, bowl, utensil we could need and all the seasonings too. The bathrooms were also very well stocked. plenty of towels and even robes and plastic loofahs. The space is open and bright and the dining room table fit all 8 of us no problem. We used the charcoal grill and it was clean and we had a fresh bag of charcoal. The owner left us beautiful mint and cilantro from her garden as well as some delicious tea that we promptly brewed and enjoyed over ice. The owner was very responsive to questions. We would definitely rent it again!

Sara was very polite and helpful . She responded quickly to me when I had questions. The place was beautiful and clean . I was able to enjoy family time with my parents , grandparents , daughter and niece . Everyone of us was comfortable and satisfied.

Lisa was very communicative over the entire stay. She was flexibale with our crazy travel schedule. The house is lovely, very spacious and exactly how it looks in pictures!

We were very fortunate that Renee’s property was available for the 4 days we needed. This was the end of a very busy 3 weeks in the US, and the peaceful house with a deck on the water with seals and otters playing was just what we needed to unwind before the long journey home to Australia. Renee is a lovely host who kept in contact to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible. So thankful for the opportunity.

Amazing place! I stayed here for three days and absolutely loved it. The house was very clean, beautiful, and cozy — exactly like in the photos. A special thanks to the hosts: they were incredibly kind, welcoming, and responsive, always available to help. I felt right at home. Highly recommend and would love to come back again!

Having stayed at dozens of rental homes around the country, its easy for me when I come across a standout like this property. The home is possibly the best appointed rental I have ever stayed in. If you intend to hang out at the house and enjoy the scenery, the back yard and kitchen are perfectly set up to entertain your guests. My family and I did not notice a single thing that we wanted or needed that was not on hand. Anyone looking to rent a property in this area of Washington, I would highly recommend this home! Im sure I will be back one day.

We enjoyed our stay at the groovy lagoon very much! The hosts thought of everything from spices to having a big bottle or olive oil on hand, umbrellas, lots of beach towels. The kayaks were great but one doesn’t have a back rest which makes for a tougher time relaxing on it. The deck is lovely and we spent a lot of time out there, it could use an outdoor sofa but I understand it rains and might get moldy. The living room was a little smaller than the pictures and just has a small seat and the couch. If our whole family was there we wouldn’t all fit in the couch. Overall we loved our stay here and even when it was windy out the deck is super protected and calm. The heated floor in the bathroom was nice as well. The bedding was nice. It’s actually a 10 min drive to gig harbor but we liked being away from the hustle of the harbor to be honest.
