3B1B Hidden Gem with AC & Private Yard

4.73 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews1 week ago

eo and Vivian’s home was absolutely beautiful—airy, open, and thoughtfully designed. It had everything we needed for family dinners, plenty of entertainment options, and tons of great outdoor spaces to relax in. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the shower was so soothing—it felt like a little spa moment each day. I usually have a hard time getting comfortable while traveling, but I truly felt right at home here. We’ll definitely be back—no doubt about it! Thank you both so much for being such wonderful hosts!

Bold‘n Beautiful Lakeview Getaway w/ private spa

5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviews1 month ago

Spectacular place! This place was a refuge. Gorgeous on the inside and an incredible view of the lake from the main living area. The bed was fabulous for us and the evenings quiet. The Burk-Gilman trail is a block away and the streets are also quiet enough for walking. The place was incredibly stocked and Iris so friendly and helpful.

The Del-Ritz

5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews5 months ago

What a fantastic location for a pre-gala gathering with a crew of friends. The design was on point, the space perfect for our celebration. It was a little awkward trying to figure out parking but once we read the clear instructions we were able to figure it out. We'd strongly recommend this to people wanting to come visit Seattle as the location is perfect for hoping on the main freeways and getting anywhere around the city.

Seafront Guesthouse

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviews1 month ago

We loved staying at this waterfront oasis. The place was clean, the view was incredible, there were decent supplies available in the kitchen and bathroom. We used the pull-out bed for my son in then living room— it was easy and comfortable. I think we could have used a couple more regular pillows (lots of great throw pillows). A few more forks would have been helpful, too. :) There was a fire-pit out front that we were hoping to use, but didn’t have time. Overall it was great. Very steep driveway that was a little challenging in the dark, but we were lucky with the weather and it ended up fine.

Stunning West Seattle View House

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviews3 months ago

We had a fantastic stay—cold, but clear & sunny—a long weekend getaway from Portland. Michelle’s place was beautiful, with picture widows and lovely sunrise/sunset views of the Sound. The house was immaculately clean, and had all of the essentials and more. We cycled into downtown, around Alki, and ate at some yummy places within a .25-5 mile radius. There is always something to do on W Seattle, and Michelle anticipated our questions about cycling, restaurants or other tips. We would definitely return! A nice respite indeed…

Rustic Modern Farmhouse + Spa

5 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews4 months ago

The vibes are immaculate. This is a beautiful home and property with thoughtful details throughout. The art, books, and decor were reminiscent of staying at a cool aunt's place - cozy, but elevated. I didn't realize the outside shower was seasonal, a minor disappointment, but didn't detract from our overall stay. Lots of songbirds in the surrounding trees. Very comfortable beds. Folks with mobility issues should be aware that the pathway from parking to the home is uneven and that the bedrooms are accessible via a narrow, steep staircase with a handrail. The home layout is really lovely. I didn't work on this trip, but the office space was inviting and had a solid set up for connecting your laptop. Overall, highly recommend!

The perfect romantic getaway for Valentines weekend! We had a fantastic stay at this charming home by Alki Beach. The place was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was just a short walk to Alki, great restaurants, and views of the city at night. Will definitely be booking again and I highly recommend this place for a getaway weekend in Alki
