History mixes with contemporary conveniences in Old Town, where you can stroll down cobblestone streets and marvel at some of the city’s oldest buildings while enjoying modern luxuries such as facials, bike rides, massages and lattes!

Old Town, located at the bottom of 30th hill and along Ruston Way is the birthplace of Tacoma, and it is no wonder Job Carr settled here with the waterfront and spectacular views. We are Tacoma’s only Neighborhood Business District located on Commencement Bay. The original charm persists among local merchants who can meet your needs for flowers, jewelry and unique gifts. There is a host of dining experiences from Tacoma’s oldest saloon, the Spar, to hot spots along the waterfront, and cozy eateries in the heart of the district.

Old Town is also a great place to enliven your spirit with music, thanks to our classical concerts in Old Town Park and Slavonian Hall as well as the ever-popular Old Town Blues Festival. Also don’t forget to admire the history by having a visit at the Job Carr cabin museum in Old Town Park.

This is an independent condo within a large home. There is one condo upstairs and one directly next door.

Great location, great design/decor!
My partner and I needed a place to stay in Tacoma while I attended some classes - we were camping around Mt. Rainier prior to arriving and the check-in process was seamless, property was spotless and immediately felt like home!

Great stay
This condo was perfect for our 3 night stay. It was clean and well appointed. The residential location was great and we loved seeing glimpses of the ocean from the shared deck. The host Jenell made us feel welcome and was easy to reach if we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

A great Tacoma home
This is a wonderful property, cozy, immaculate, beautifully furnished (in particular the gas fireplace!). The location is ideal for exploring Tacoma. The views are tremendous, and it’s a quick walk down to Puget Sound. The host was extremely responsive. Two very nice bedrooms, two lovely bathrooms, a great living room and very functional kitchen. I’d give it 6 stars if I could.

Fabulous place!!
Not only is this condo beautiful, comfortable, and cozy, but the owner has taken care of so many additional amenities. There were lots of “extras” that made us feel at home and that were so thoughtful of the owner to include. You can’t go wrong w this place and I’d love to come back in the summer to take advantage of the fabulous outdoor space. Thank you!!

Enjoyed my stay
Hassle free vacation from booking to checkin to checkout. Jenell was easy to get a hold of. The property was clean and contains all if not the most basic amenities you would expect to have at home. The patio is a great place to relax and offers a glimpse of the sound. It is close to restaurants , the waterfront, shops etc. Stay out all day and enjoy the sights or just stay in and chill!

Wonderful stay in Tacoma
Stayed here with another couple for a vacation in the Seattle area. Beautiful space in a safe, quiet area. We drove to Angle lake station when we wanted to go in to Seattle for a concert which worked out wonderfully! Great area for doing things away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle. Beautiful views of the water. Drove to Port Townsend for a day for whale watching and quaint shops. Drove to Point Ruston to hike and have brunch. Was convenient and beautifully maintained for our stay. Would highly recommend!

Winter trip to Tacoma
Quick trip to help a family member brought me to Tacoma. The condo is easy to find and exactly as advertised. I loved that the fireplace was on when I entered making it very honey and warm as the PNW was in the middle of an Arctic freeze. Parking was great-a little extra maneuvering required with the large vehicle I had, but really no problem. The condo is close to everything I needed and in a perfect location for morning or evening walks. The condo itself is nicely appointed, quiet and comfortable.

Beautiful condo by the water in Tacoma
My husband’s family came here to stay for my son’s graduation. The place is located in a perfect location within walking distance to the water, coffee shop, wine bars and restaurant. The place is immaculate and beautiful. It was nice gem for our family to stay in. They truly loved the place. Next time i have any family or friends come in town to visit me, I will definitely book this place for them. Thank you Jenell for all your hospitality and ease of communication. Truly appreciate you make the stay for our family so nice. Lilly
