" Captain's Quarters", at Sylvanrude, Lakebay WA
Victorias place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The Captains Quarters are a must stay place if you’re in long branch/lakebay. It felt like we were truly a captain of a ship, especially since the view was absolutely amazing. Victoria was so responsive, kind, and gave local recommendations. The private beach is even more gorgeous than the pictures, and it felt like a getaway from home. Our only regret is that we didn’t do more on the property! Would definitely stay here again. Props to Victoria and the amazing space!

Serene Shadow Lake-1 Bed
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb. The unit was clean, the location was peaceful, and to hosts were so friendly. We needed a relaxing stay, and that is what we got.

West Seattle rental unit 5 min from Alki beach
I really enjoyed my stay. It was close to the ferries and the bus. I definitely will let others know about this place and would use it again should I come back to Seattle.

Waterfront View Daylight 1-Bedroom Apartment
This was truly one of the most relaxing weekends we’ve had in quite a long time. We met Sara & Jerry upon our arrival- they were very warm & made us feel comfortable right away. The apartment is perfect for a couple that wants to get away to a beautifully serene, relaxing, & quiet place. The apartment is comfortable & decorated very well. Sara keeps the grounds a gorgeous sanctuary for birds & bees. On a few occasions we even got to see the Bald Eagle couple that like to nest in one of the very tall trees of the property. It was so nice to wake up to a stunning view each morning & just enjoy the view. The stars are out at night so bright & if you ask, Jerry will leave you a little fire wood if you’d like to sit down by the little fire pit they have. Sara & Jerry are both kind, gracious, & hospitable people with a great love for the island & their community. Highly recommend!

Fox Island Waterfront Retreat with Amazing View
We had a fantastic stay! The home had everything we needed: a full kitchen, clean bathroom, two comfy bedrooms, two cozy sitting rooms, and a washer/dryer—which was a huge help with our baby. It was fully stocked with fresh linens, towels, and blankets. The outdoor patio with a fire pit and stunning water views was a perfect place to relax. Jill and Gregg were wonderful hosts—warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Jill even greeted us with homemade brownies and a bottle of wine! The house is family-friendly and included a pack and play, which made traveling with our 4-month-old so much easier. If you’re visiting the Fox Island or Gig Harbor area, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem. We would absolutely stay here again!

Yummy Beach #1
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming casita, and it exceeded all our expectations. The location is unbeatable, steps away from the water, offering breathtaking views of the Olympics and a serene atmosphere. The casita itself is beautifully designed, combining rustic charm with modern amenities. The interior was spotless, the large windows let in plenty of natural light and a espectacular view. We especially enjoyed sipping our morning coffee on the patio and we were lucky enough to spot two seals and a group of dolphins. Had no idea we had dolphins in Washington. The host was welcoming and responsive, providing clear instructions and great local recommendations.

Boysenberry Beach on the bay
Our family came to visit us in north Kitsap and we appreciated the clean and quiet accommodations between Kingston and Port Gamble. They enjoyed the nearby day trips to Point No Point lighthouse and beach, Port Gamble’s quaint downtown and White Horse Golf Course. The beach access was a plus, but the kayaks available were a little far from the beach - a series of steps, etc. so we passed on that. We were able to use the firewood that the host provided at the beach, so we were very happy with the experience we had. All-in-all, a lovely spot to stay!

Seattle/Airport/Light Rail/SeaTac/2Bdrm Apt
Scenic and comfortable for friends or family with kids. Kitchen was top notch, had all the essentials and multiple Keurig options. The deck by the lake is very nice to hang out at evenings and night time. TV remote didn't have batteries and the bathroom drain can be unclogged better. But these were minor inconveniences.

Ranger's Hideout at Whitman Lake, Mount Rainier
I had an amazing weekend stay at this beautiful lakefront property! The cozy vibe and tasteful decor made it feel like a true getaway. One of the highlights was the spacious deck overlooking the lake, it was the perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning while taking in the peaceful views. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings, roasting marshmallows and unwinding under the stars. The private deck by the water was another favorite, great for lounging during the day and even better for fishing right off the dock. It was such a treat to enjoy quiet moments by the water throughout the day. Grant was a fantastic host, super responsive and helpful, which made everything easy and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic escape. Would love to come back!

Waterfront Escape-Olalla Bay Getaway-Kayaks-Buoy
Beautiful, serene, and private location—perfect for a peaceful family getaway. The home was well-equipped with thoughtful amenities, and our toddlers especially loved the toys. The space felt safe, comfortable, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

BayView Retreat w/ Waterfall and Beach Access
We enjoyed our stay it was perfect for visiting our son in the Navy. Property was clean and comfortable. We were able to Spend time sitting outside relaxing and visiting. Loved the Note Welcoming us.

Waterfront w/ Dock Near Fay Bainbridge Park
Thank you for a wonderful stay. Your place is elegant, comfortable, and so well thought out. We relaxed. Watched the herons, plunged in the sea at Fay Bainbridge, and took advantage of everything Bainbridge has to offer. I hope to come back! Have a great summer.

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!

The Lake House - hot tub, waterfront
Amazing, quiet, and beautiful location right on the lake. Very affordable too!

Stella Maris: peaceful waterfront refuge!
South sound is one of our favorite weekend destinations for relaxing at a waterfront cabin, but until now we had never stayed on the Key Peninsula. Caitlin's house was the perfect spot to do that--located right on the protected Filucy Bay with 3 kayaks available to launch right off the beach. Plus convenient to the two state parks and about a 15-minute drive back to Key Center for groceries. The house itself is fairly compact and perfect for a single family--two ensuite bedrooms, with the master being a loft with one of the best views for drinking coffee in bed you'll ever see). The kitchen and dining table also have an expansive view, so you won't miss out while cooking. But the real draw is the enormous patio space--I'm always itching to explore but on our second day we just spent the entire afternoon playing board games outside and enjoying the view.

Lake House Retreat Kid & Dog Friendly
Beautiful house, enough space for everyone. Straight walk out to pull the kayaks into the water, and plenty of views of the water from every floor.
Waterfront condo rentals

Waterfront Condo w Parking in Downtown Pike Place!
I can't say enough good about the views and the location of this condo. We were fortunate enough to have clear and dry weather for the majority of our visit and the views of the Olympics and Mt. Ranier were spectacular! The concierge was always friendly and available for recommendations, etc. The parking garage feels secure and the proximity to basic groceries/goods could not be more convenient! Wonderful place to stay!

Waterfront! Free Parking! King Bed! Pike Place!
We just had an amazing time in Robert’s place - made extra special because we could park our car easily there and go absolutely everywhere by foot! The apartment was extremely well equipped, comfortable and Robert was an exceptionally responsive and proactive host. We’ll be back!

Captain Berg's Getaway
Beautiful condo, full of amenities, comfy bed, gorgeous views. Perfect for longer stays. We were only there for a couple of nights, making it hard to justify all the air BnB fees, but not the hosts fault. Would certainly rent again when we have longer time to visit my grandsons.

Blue Haven- Water Front Condo
Bindu was exceptionally accommodating and gracious during our stay. She responded promptly to every message, helped us better understand the apartment and the surrounding area, and even facilitated an extension over Mother’s Day when our plans changed. I’ll definitely return—this was a lovely experience. Thank you so much.

Free Parking! Stylish Pike Place Market Condo
We loved our stay in Seattle, and this property was excellent for our family of three. Our 7 year old took the couch and we had a grand old time walking around the area and watching the sun set on the water. It was very clean and had great instructions for all areas of the property. We felt safe knowing our car was secured and we were in a great area. Wonderful experience!

Waterfront 2BD Next to Pike Place w/ Private Patio
We absolutely loved our stay at this apartment! The location is fantastic—easily walkable to many of Seattle’s top sights, yet tucked in a spot that felt peaceful and relaxing. The apartment was beautifully set up for our three-generation family of six, with plenty of space, a great kitchen, and thoughtful touches throughout. One of our favorite features was the patio with a view of the water—a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. For the location and amenities, this was a great value. Our trip was relatively short, but we’re already hoping to come back and stay longer. Highly recommended!

Waterfront Wonderful… just steps to Pike Place Mkt
This is an absolutely gorgeous property in the heart of Seattle. Pike Place Market, with all it has to offer, is a short walk away as is the Seattle Aquarium! Two large bedrooms, a lovey sitting room overlooking the water and a great view of the Olympic Mountains. Our host met us and was thoroughly delightful and left us with a lovely basket of goodies. This is an exceptional rental.

***Waterfront Condo! A Rare Find! Free Parking!***
Loved staying at Jeri's place, she is an amazing host, always available, so friendly and funny! Her place is unique and very comfortable -there is a great spa tub i didn't remember being mentioned -could have spent my whole vacay in that tub ! I actually stayed at 2 Airbnb's while in Seattle (the other was not good), would definitely book Jeri's again !
