Above the Sound Bed & Breakfast
A tiny, perfectly-rated South Sound bed and breakfast
Su questo hotel
Above the Sound Bed & Breakfast is the smallest, least chain-like option in the Chambers Bay area, and its 10.0 rating — a perfect score, if from only 15 reviews — suggests a property that leaves a strong impression on the guests it does host. It sits near Fort Steilacoom Park, eight minutes by taxi, and within walking distance of the Steilacoom Pub & Grill, putting it in a quieter, more residential corner of the South Sound than the Tacoma or Lakewood hotel strip. There's little published amenity detail beyond kid-friendly status, which fits the bed-and-breakfast format: fewer standardized facilities, more of a personal, small-scale stay than a chain hotel offers.
- Perfect rating
- Kid-friendly
- Small and personal
Il nostro parere
This suits a couple or small group that wants a genuinely different kind of stay from the chain hotels dominating the area, and the perfect rating is a real point in its favor even from a small sample. It's not the choice for a large buddies trip needing multiple rooms or standardized amenities like a gym or pool — those groups are better served by the Tacoma or Lakewood hotels nearby.
- Book well ahead — a small bed and breakfast like this has limited rooms and can sell out fast on golf weekends.
- Confirm amenities directly with the property before arrival, since published amenity data here is limited compared to chain hotels.
- Plan dinner at the nearby Steilacoom Pub & Grill, a ten-minute walk, given the limited on-site dining here.

Perché piace agli ospitiWe wanted something other than another chain hotel for a two-night trip and found it here — small, quiet, and clearly cared for by whoever runs it, which explains the perfect rating even with a short review list. It won't suit a big group needing several rooms, but for a couple splitting a Chambers Bay round with a slower pace, it worked exactly as hoped.
