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
The place is amazing, great decor, clean and spacious. Easy and walkable access to most of the attractions and amazing coffee places close to it.

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

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

Lakefront Living in Gig Harbor
What a wonderful, cozy stay! This house feels like a home in the best of ways. Very cozy fireplace, wonderful views of the lake and ducks swimming from the entire back of the house, plus above and beyond gestures of kindness from the host(s). I stayed here recovering from a medical procedure and was welcomed with a “get well soon” card. The house was spotless and full of natural light. Thank you again for the peaceful experience.

Waterfront Gamble Bay House +Seasonal Heated Pool
Our stay was an amazing escape and exactly what we needed to get away and relax and even look for a home of our own in the area. Allison was an amazing host going above and beyond with everything from early and late check ins, providing additional info for the area, and generally caring about your stay at her property. She was extremely accommodating and responsive. We absolutely will be back when our house hunt continues or we want to get away again.

Seabatical Waterfront Escape, Kingston
My husband and my daughter and me stayed from Tuesday to Saturday for spring break. We rented a car from airport and it’s about hour and a half to Kingston. Tolls were $5.50 one way which had an attendant so you could pay. When we pulled up and walked in you are immediately hit with the spectacular million dollar views. It had a cute reading nook upstairs with views that you had to climb a ladder to get to. My daughter loved this space. We had three eagles land in the yard talking to each other. Short walk to end block and down a hill you are on private beach with dock you could walk onto. We saw seals from the beach so awesome I could stay there all day. The coffee was excellent and would love to take some home. The town of Kingston has the cutest coffee shop with great coffee and atmosphere. Port Townsend was about an hour away and was very cute and quaint with good food and shops. You can also take the puget sound boat to watch the whales from here. Loved our time ty

Redondo Beachfront Boardwalk Home
Perfect location! This home had lots of private bedrooms making our gathering so easy to do! And you just can’t get enough of the view!

Get away on Long Lake
We just purchased a home in this area and needed a place to stay close to it while it gets furnished and this was perfect! It was so quiet and peaceful. The view of the lake is great! The house was very clean, decorated beautifully and super cozy. If we didn’t live just down the street we would stay here again! Mickey was a great host and answered my messages quickly. I had forgotten my purse here after checkout and he worked with me so I could retrieve it. Really great experience. Highly recommend! (I don’t recommend forgetting your purse though 😂).

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!
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
We enjoyed our stay! Great location. Short walks to Space Needle, Science Center, and Pop culture museum. Little further to pikes place, but a pleasant walk. The view is stunning and we had everything we needed to feel comfortable while we were there.

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!
