Top South Beach Hotel Reviews

5BR/4BA: Spacious Step-Free Main Level, Relaxing Views, Next to Chamber Bay Golf

10/10 Excellent

"Our host was great to work with - quick, helpful and informative. The house didn’t look like much from the outside but the views when you walk in are breathtaking. All bedrooms have great views. House roomy and well layer-out. Plenty of room and privacy for 7 of us. Kitchen especially well stocked. We rented Emmy’s house for a wedding and associated events where we all had to get dressed and be somewhere at the same time… so nice! We never ran out of hot water. Loved the neighborhood. Close to nature, close to stores.All in all, renting the house was an excellent experience. Entire family and our guests rated it superb."

Hot Tub + Sauna: Home 8 Mi to Downtown Tacoma!

10/10 Excellent

"There were 7 of us seniors who rented this house for three days, and it worked out great. Besides the amenities of the pool, hot tub, cabana, volleyball court (which we didn’t use), there is a cute little playhouse that would be great for children. There is also a large barbecue and patio table. The kitchen is well-stocked, except there was only one kitchen towel, and we couldn’t use both ovens at once because the breaker would go off. The kitchen appliances are very nice. The living room is large and comfortable with a big TV, and there is also a little sitting room next to the front entrance. The location is good for taking a neighborhood walk. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs (no hand rail on the stairs), and three bedrooms with two bathrooms on the main floor. Our only complaint was that our key code did not work to get into the house when we arrived. I called Evolve and the agent was very helpful and gave us another code, which did not work. He was able to contact the owner who came over and gave us the correct code (the back slider was unlocked and we were able to get in that way as well). Unfortunately, the person listed as the contact person (the cleaning lady) did not answer her phone, and her message box was full. Other than that initial frustration, everything went well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
