  This was our second time staying at Jane’s home. We absolutely love it here. It is cozy and beautiful, and the peacefulness of being on the water just fills my heart each time. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are so comfortable and the view is like nothing else. My nephews absolutely love it here— so much so that they refer to it as “our house” now when they visit. We loved tide pooling, and even launched our SUP from here in the summer. The resident seal visits most days and we even saw porpoises! I cannot say enough about how special this home is. It is clearly well-loved and well taken care of. Such a beautiful slice of PNW history. Visit if you can!

• Excellent Location and Host

  5/5

  Days Island, easily reachable, is a quiet community close to Tacoma. The house is inviting from the street, and has convenient parking, several outdoor places to hang out in decent weather, and the view from indoors or out is breathtaking. We two couples (sisters and husbands) had great fun sipping adult beverages and watching boats, barges, birds slide by, seals pop their heads up and cormorants dive.

  The large backyard leads to the water, and is a fine spot for outdoor games or watching sunsets.

  There is a well-equipped kitchen, a gas barbeque grill, scads of games and lots of ideas for local activities.

  The beds are quite comfortable and there's a ton of bedding and towels and such provided.

  The biggest attraction is the knock-your-eyes out view.

  The other big attraction is your host, Jane. She is readily accessible by text, helpful, friendly.

  The house is old and quirky, with some hard miles on it. So if you are after a 5-star hotel, this ain't it.

  The bedrooms are on the third floor, one up from the street level: a king room with the best view, a queen room, a dinky single and a shared bath.

  At entry level are the kitchen, an adjacent bathroom/laundry (which, amusingly, also holds the dishwasher), a large dining room, breakfast room, large living room and an office. On the lowest floor is a huge family-type room with queen bed and bath.

  Shopping, restaurants and attractions are close at hand.

  Recommended.

• Amazing spot, beautiful views

  5/5

  We loved this place! The views from the home were stunning. Our kids loved the backyard and going out the water when the tide was out. The location was great, and it made for the perfect family get-away with my in laws, brother, and two kids. This is a really special spot with the most amazing owners who we were fortunate enough to meet! Thanks for such a wonderful stay.
