Beautiful, quiet spot

We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and out view of the lake. The apartment was roomy and bed very comfortable. On the hot days the ceiling fans were wonderful. Lots of supplies in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

This is a nice, simple apartment very close to shops, the freeway, Safeway, etc. The lake and backyard are lovely. Tiffanie (the hostess) responds immediately to questions and needs. The host and the owner left sweet presents for me and my daughter, which was very thoughtful. People with walking or carrying issues should be aware that the rental apartments are on the second and third floors and are only accessible from outside stairs. People should also be aware that this is not exclusively a vacation rental, but that there are regular apartment units in this building.

Pretty view

Very pretty view , cute place., would recommend. Convenient to grocery store. Instacart delivers there. Convenient to JBLM as well. I had 18 day stay. The only drawbacks. Laundry room locked and was unable to reach #instructed to call. Water pressure low in kitchen. No drawers to put clothes in , you can hang them up but bring some hangers. The lock you put code in is on the actual door and not the other coded locks on wall.

Beautiful lake even in the rain

Unlocking the place was tricky. Quick to respond to my text asking for help. There was a smell. Not bad. Just super noticeable. Clean. Could use a deep clean throughout. Partiers were loud underneath and outside the window Saturday night. Not enough space to leave a thorough review.

Visit to see our daughter

The property is lovely. Being right on the lake is wonderful, we had bonfires and used the canoe, the lake is clean. It's in a quiet neighborhood with close by amenities. The unit, house is old, but we love that old charm and it was clean. Our onsite host Roshon was very nice and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back to visit our daughter and would stay there again!

Check in confusion

Really confusing check in system - with 2 apparent locks, but only one lock being used. I was told someone would be there to check me in and she just wasn't available, despite many messages. So we just were mostly on our own. She did eventually come help us out a bit. Bottom line, be prepared to just kind of figure things out yourself. The listing promises cable and streaming. There was none of that. And not even the basic channels worked. I did point that out to the woman helping us and eventually she brought us a brand new Firestick that we had to set up. Other than that - it was a lovely stay. Really. The water is very accessible and there were plenty of water toys. Very easy access to the Lakewood mall. Lovely.

No air conditioning

I came from Texas where air conditioning is a necessity. So you can imagine how felt when I finally was able to find my room was in town for a wedding. I did not know that most places did not have air conditioning.
