Trendy QueenAnne 2BD *roof top* mins to DT
Very kind and responsive host! We left a few belongings behind and she promptly alerted us and helped us retrieve them. Overall very lovely and would stay here again. Thanks!

Gorgeous 1BR Suite W/ Spectacular Waterfront View
Very cute space with great views, easy check in and Aaron was very responsive with any questions, was a perfect stop on our PNW road trip!

Waterfront View Daylight 1-Bedroom Apartment
Serene, beautiful and quiet overlooking a beautiful inlet. Sitting in a heavily wooded section on Fox Island, this is an oasis for eliminating the chaos of urban life.

ALKI BEACH GETAWAY! Entire Apt -Across From Beach!
Family was visiting for a week of rest and relaxation and this space delivered in every way! Amazing location with it being just a half block away from Alki beach and early morning walks to finding a local spot to sit down and have a coffee and pastry. As this is the second time family has spent here that speaks volumes to how comfortable the hosts have made it for guests. I know that this space will be filled with my family whenever they come and visit in the future.

Fox Island Waterfront Retreat with Amazing View
This place was perfect. Close to the water. Peaceful with beautiful views. Close to Gig Harbor that has many cute stores, restaurants, and breweries. We would stay again!

Jungle Room Near Pike Market
Our stay was short but Kevin & Michael were such excellent hosts. The place was immaculate, spacious, and as described in their listing. When we had some concerns, Kevin immediately responded to resolve the matter, going above and beyond his host duties. We couldn't have asked for a better host. if we're back in Seattle - we will definitely book their place again.

On ALKI Beach, 2 bedroom, unobstructed beach views
such a nice stay! hosts were so accommodating and responsive, and can’t beat the location. Typically staying directly on Alki is very noisy with low riders racing all night, but we had quiet evenings and felt right at home. thanks for a wonderful stay, we will be back!

Beach apt on a Sandy Beach -15 min to Seattle
This is a wonderful cosy and serene location at the water. Linda is a fantastic host that makes you feel welcome from the first moment. Sitting at the water overlooking the water with the mountains on the background is amazing!
Waterfront house rentals

Relaxing Waterfront Beach House
Mike has been one of the most attentive & friendly hosts that I have ever stayed with. They really make sure that you have everything you need, proactively checking in to ensure everything is comfortable for your stay. It felt like staying with extended family of sorts. this’s the fourth time I stay here and and we’ll continue to visit every year. This house is truly perfect for a getaway from the city. We loved getting to sit by the water and listen to the birds. The house is well stocked with everything you could need, Thank you Mike for sharing your beautiful home 🥂

Puget Sound Waterfront - Blue Heron House
Such a wonderful cabin. It was super cozy and was the perfect get-a-way for our fam of 3 + 1 dog. For a place that is dog friendly, you could not tell! It was super tidy and clean and simple. Fished right off the beach, had fires and also appreciated the tv for movies at night and games. It’s in the description, but just make note of the pathway down! It’s well maintained, but if it’s rainy it can be a little slick. It definitely would not deter us from coming back but if you have a hard time mobility wise, it would be trickier! This place is 10/10

Redondo Beachfront Boardwalk Home
We had an amazing stay at this house! The view was incredible & we loved the hot tub! We never got to take advantage of the kayaks but it was nice that they were available!

Sunset at the bay! Kayaking and paddleboarding
Absolutely beautiful views from this waterfront home. Plenty of room for our family of 5 plus Nana to spread out enjoying indoor/outdoor living. Well appointed including fun water toys ie paddle boards and kayaks. My husband commented this home being the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Excellent communication from Mike and Eva. Definitely would stay here again.

Waterfront w/ Dock Near Fay Bainbridge Park
Kyle & Jennifer's home was perfect for our girls weekend. The home is spacious and beautiful. We loved the views from the house. Our morning walks along the beach in the nearby Fay Bainbridge park beach were so beautiful and relaxing. We saw otters, seals, bald eagles and some great local dogs being walked. The kitchen was perfect for cooking with friends. If you are considering this place, book it! You will be pleased.

Therapeutic Waterfront -3BD, Dock, Mountain View
Celia, thank you for a wonderful stay! The place was beautiful outside and in, while also being comfortable. We were able to find what we needed fairly easily, and spend time with our friends. The kitchen had almost everything we needed (Please add a bottle opener!). There were instructions to get down into the boathouse and dock, door keys, etc. Loved soaking up the views!

Sunrise Beach House, Gig Harbor - beachfront!
We placed a reservation months prior to our stay, so it goes without saying we’d been anticipating it - but I’m serious when I say the ONLY disappointment of staying at Nikki’s place was having to leave! From check in to check out - we had a wonderful time. The view is unparalleled - with substantial changes of tide and filled with wildlife, either swooping in from above (bald eagles) or popping up from below (otters, seals and even an orca whale). The home itself has everything you’d need - it’s literally jaw dropping how stunning it is. When a storm rolls in, It makes it easy to deal with (you could spend all day inside and be thankful for the view)…. And when the weather clears? It’s hard to describe, you just need to see it. The stairs are real - but my own mom (who’s in her 70s) had no problems with it - well lit and maintained - just pack smartly, else get a workout. This has been our top stay and we’ve had some GREAT ones. Nikki made everything easy. We hope to return!

Live the Dream-Long Lake Waterfront
Place was wonderful. Many comments were made from all guests about wanting to come back during the summer. Everybody loved the pickleball court and multiple free to use games. Thank you for being such a tentative, thoughtful, and courteous host!
Waterfront condo rentals

Waterfront Condo w Parking in Downtown Pike Place!
Great apartment just steps from Seattle’s Public Market! Super clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. David was an extremely responsive and helpful host. Highly recommend!

Blue Haven- Water Front Condo
This is a fantastic place to stay in Seattle with a brilliant location and excellent amenities. The condo is exactly as described, spacious and well appointed. It is a 5 minute walk to Pike Place market and has a lovely waterfront view. You are close to everything that Seattle has to offer, but the condo is also quiet and private. Bindu couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating, responding very quickly to any queries and offering some great restaurant/coffee recommendations. A great find and we’d love to return again one day - thank you Bindu!

Free Parking! Stylish Pike Place Market Condo
This property has amazing views of the Elliott Bay! Host Sean is super helpful in messages through out the reservation with clear details of check-in/check-out process. I would come again!

***Waterfront Condo! A Rare Find! Free Parking!***
Check-in was super easy as Jeri leaves very detailed instructions for everything. He’s also very communicative and often messages you before you have a chance to ask him something! Make sure to check out Jeri’s list of recommendations as it provided us with plenty of places to eat at.

2-bdrm Waterfront Downtown Seattle
We really enjoyed staying here. The view is beautiful. Even though there is a lot of traffic near by, it was quiet and easy to fall asleep. We loved that almost everything was within walking distance and we didn’t need to use Lyft or Uber much. Just be prepared to have your legs hurting at the end of your vacation if you’re not used to walking that much.

2BR VIEW! 98% Walk Score-FREE pkg-hot tub-pool
Gayle and her staff were great! Their instructions were clear and thorough. They were friendly and very helpful in helping us have a great experience in visiting Seattle and the surrounding areas. My family and friends were thrilled with our stay!

Seattle Center Condo Water View|Parking|KrakenGame
This was a great place to stay during our recent trip. It is centrally located and we were able to explore quite a bit on foot or with a short drive. The space was clean and has a great view. The kitchen allowed us to make breakfast before heading out for the day’s adventure, then we came back in the evening to make dinner and unwind with a movie. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

Puget Sound Retreat
Beautiful location with easy access to Pike Place, the waterfront walk, walking distance to other sites (e.g. Pioneer Square and Space Needle area) and ready access to Seattle’s great public transport (we did not rent a car and did not miss it, taking buses, light rail and ferries to the various areas we explored in Seattle). The apartment was as advertised and our host did an outstanding job with directions ro the apartment and for check-in. Our host’s accessibility and responsiveness really stood out-we needed help finding some bedding (for the sofa bed) and some supplies and our host responded quickly to our messaging through AirBnB. Would definitely stay there again!
