Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in University Place

I stay in a lot of airbnbs and I have to say, this is the nicest one Ive been in yet. The decor is tasteful but comfy enough for family. The house is spacious and VERY well stocked, so you aren’t running out of towels every 5 minutes. The kitchen is a dream with top of the line appliances and gorgeous simple decor. The beds were comfy, there are thoughtful additions, (record player with great selection of vinyl, “take one-leave one” wine rack …). We had an incredibly relaxing and lovely week and didn’t need to leave the house. Reece was responsive and helpful and I will definitely be back.

The house is roomy and spacious. Lots of different places to gather and hang out. It's pretty remote, I would suggest bringing food on arrival as the closest store is 20 minute drive. You can't beat the views as it might be the most special part of the house. Perfect place to relax and recharge.

Beautiful home away from home! Perfect location and worked really well for our family get-to-gether. Lots of games and space to gather, along with fully stocked kitchen that made it easy to cook for our larger group. Thank you for the memories and we’re looking forward to staying here for our next family visit.

We were in town for a family funeral. The peaceful, comfortable atmosphere was exactly what we needed as we gathered together. I’m so glad we found this home. Being at “Commencement Bay” at a time that we were mourning our loss and celebrating our loved one’s life and the start to a new chapter for all of us felt poetically appropriate. There wasn’t anything we were lacking in the accommodations. Such a beautiful place and the homeowners were amazing to work with. ❤️❤️❤️

Cute place in a great location. It had all that we needed as well. Host was responsive to our questions. Overall, great place to stay if you want to be close to a city and also have plenty of outdoor stuff to do.

My daughter and her Firefighter husband live just 4 blocks away so this was an ideal place to stay when I traveled with my youngest daughter to visit them and their new baby! (Her house is too small to accommodate guests now with the babe!) This house is adorable and in the cutest neighborhood in Tacoma. Super clean and stylish with simple modern comfort and charm. The backyard is a great spot to chill and have a glass of wine in the evening and the kitchen is well equipped. Probably the best selection of teas I’ve ever seen offered at an Airbnb and the coffee supplies (French Press) made a delicious cup each morning. Proctor neighborhood is safe and beautiful and just a quick walk to grocery, coffee, restaurants and bars. I will definitely put this on my “speed dial” for whenever I visit my daughter!

We were extremely pleased with our stay. The house was quaint and so well decorated. The bed was very comfortable, and plenty of room to hang and store our clothes for the week. We had everything we needed and more. The house was spotless. Monica thought of everything for her guests. We will definitely stay at this house again on our next trip to Tacoma. I highly recommend Monica for the entire experience!

It was perfect for our family gathering! The view was wonderful and the house is spacious and comfortable!

Victorias place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The Captains Quarters are a must stay place if you’re in long branch/lakebay. It felt like we were truly a captain of a ship, especially since the view was absolutely amazing. Victoria was so responsive, kind, and gave local recommendations. The private beach is even more gorgeous than the pictures, and it felt like a getaway from home. Our only regret is that we didn’t do more on the property! Would definitely stay here again. Props to Victoria and the amazing space!

Beautiful and tranquil spot, not far from the big city. Very comfortable place with great views across the lake. Even had some hummingbird visitors! Kristen and her husband were very friendly and helpful

Another wonderful stay! This is my second time to enjoy these accommodations, and I’ll always stay here when I’m in the area. The bed is SO comfy, hot shower, coffee and sweet cream, chocolates, water bottles… just a great stay. Such a cute little apartment! 💗

Really great spot, perfect for two! The patio gives a beautiful sunset view. Instructions were super clear and host was responsive when we needed. Highly recommend!

This was truly one of the most relaxing weekends we’ve had in quite a long time. We met Sara & Jerry upon our arrival- they were very warm & made us feel comfortable right away. The apartment is perfect for a couple that wants to get away to a beautifully serene, relaxing, & quiet place. The apartment is comfortable & decorated very well. Sara keeps the grounds a gorgeous sanctuary for birds & bees. On a few occasions we even got to see the Bald Eagle couple that like to nest in one of the very tall trees of the property. It was so nice to wake up to a stunning view each morning & just enjoy the view. The stars are out at night so bright & if you ask, Jerry will leave you a little fire wood if you’d like to sit down by the little fire pit they have. Sara & Jerry are both kind, gracious, & hospitable people with a great love for the island & their community. Highly recommend!

Our fourth time staying here! Clean and comfortable with the best view in town.

Perfect place to recover after surgery. The variety of places to sit and relax was excellent. Really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook including good quality knives and cookware (much better than many other places I've stayed). Lots of thoughtful details like beach towels and chairs, outdoor blankets, binoculars to watch birds and boats, extra blankets and pillows. The host was responsive to a couple of special needs and we enjoyed the baked goods they provided. It is a bit of a drive to restaurants or grocery stores which was fine for us. It was perfect for rest and relaxation.

This is a perfect stop in Seattle! Short walk to SEATAC and the light rail into town. The place is perfect inside and out, the space feels bright and clean. Having the laundry in the unit is a huge plus too. Will definitely stay here again in the future and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Seattle.

We absolutely loved our stay! Toni Marie made everything so easy and the apartment exceeded our expectations from all the little touches to the surprisingly comfy sofabed to the serene rooftop. If we had to single out a favorite detail, it’s the big surrounding trees that make the apartment feel like it’s in the middle of a city park. Everything was perfect and we didn’t want to leave!

Robert was easy to work with and the location is amazing along with the amenities. Worked great for our family of 5 + our dog. Made for an excellent weekend seeing family for graduation and the city with the boys. Would recommend.

Check in was seamless and we really enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants in town. The place was very cozy and perfect for my husband and I. The bottle of wine was a nice touch. We will return to Tonia’s next time we are in Bainbridge!

This was hands down the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. The location is perfect and the condo is quiet, clean, and safe. Raj was super helpful and very communicative throughout (as well as before and after!) the process. 10/10 would recommend.

House was in a great location with a lot of restaurants nearby. Apartment was stocked very well with amenities needed for our stay. Garage parking that came with the house was very convenient. Nitpick: Dropping the parking fob back in the house after taking the car out of the garage is a bit tedious.

Really lovely stay at Rachel's place. Best parts for me was the location (easy walks to all the Winslow has to offer and on/off the ferry to head to the city. The other good parts were the bed (comfy) and the landscaping around the space - very well done. Would definitely stay here again.

The location was perfect! On the waterfront and close to everything. The hosts allowed us to check in early and were very responsive. The condo had everything we needed and was very nicely decorated!

The location of this condo is perfect. You're tucked into a leafy neighborhood with great restaurants and within walking distance of everything.
