Great little VRBO cottage on the Vaughn Bay, with beautiful views!…read more Best parts about this cottage: It has a hot tub overlooking the bay, which is absolutely magical. :) The inside is cute with 1 bedroom and a foldout couch. It comes standard with kitchen, linens, pots/pans, etc. Unfortunately, I visited in winter, so I was unable to partake in the kayaking, paddle boats, or us the dock. In fact, it was a brisk 21 degrees last night! My only recommendation to improve would to provide a bit more of the basics for the kitchen, such as a few more spices (only salt and pepper available) and perhaps some oil or butter. I will definitely be returning when I have the chance!

NO PRIVACY!!! The owner lives on the property and can see everything you do and she claims her…read moreneighbor told her this and that so either way you're being watched 100% of the time. Nice to know this after i sunbathed on the deck with very limited clothing! The owner came to treat the hot tub in the morning and banged on the door like the police to let us know that her outdoor patio furniture was getting wet in the rain! Also you're not allowed to have visitors. My mom brought my 14 year old and 4 year old daughters to visit us for one evening and we got charged an extra $90! The pictures online are very deceiving as well, it looks very private and secluded but it is not at all. There's another rental right next door that has barking dogs all day long, very annoying! Neighbors can see you in the hot tub and all.

While they were communicative during the initial sales pitch, I felt I received vague answers once actual management began. I eventually had to perform my own due diligence to ensure mandatory security deposit disclosures and specific King County requirements were handled properly. I would advise other owners to verify that any advice received is cross-referenced with current jurisdictional laws.

Over the years, Marguerite has twice helped my husband and I buy and sell real estate here in…read moreTacoma and continues to be a source of guidance and advice. We know we can reach out and get our questions answered about the real estate market even if we aren't going to be buying or selling at that moment. There's never any sales pressure with her. When we sold our condo in downtown Tacoma to get a single family home in Central Tacoma, Marguerite advised us as we prepared. Then, when the time was right, she connected us with an amazing local agent. Eventually we bought the house next door directly from our neighbor. Even though there was no commission in it for her, Marguerite was always happy to make recommendations, advocate for us, and provide vendor recommendations for inspections and repairs. The service Marguerite provides is really unique. We love her realness and honesty as well as her real estate expertise, and we know she will always give us great service and advice. We highly, highly recommend her!

Marguerite is the best. A quality human with vast knowledge in her industry, and someone who is…read morealways working to raise the bar. She is truly interested in her clients, her community and creative ways to bring it all together. We bought our house from her 13 years ago. She was our Tacoma welcoming committee, and she STILL CHECKS IN. Tacoma is lucky to have her. If you need to buy or sell, do yourself a favor and reach out to her. Because even if she can't help you, guaranteed she knows who can.

They drove out to see her and got her signature so closing could occur that day. So, when I say they go above and beyond the call of duty I truly mean it.

The escrow process took longer than we hoped due to lending issues but Josh and Lauren were there the entire time keeping us updated, indulging our questions, concerns and overall impatience with the process. They were able to answer questions, give great advise and help us strategize and negotiate some of the challenges we faced. While Lauren was our main point of contact, both were available when needed and very involved in the process. It has been by far the best home buying experience we have had (and not our first :)). We highly recommend both Josh and Lauren!!
