GREETINGS!
We are located right on the water next to downtown Seattle....the beautiful Magnolia neighborhood. We are a couple blocks from Discovery Park, the largest in King County.
Our waterfront location is on a dead end street so it's private and quiet with no car traffic...you'll feel like you're in the San Juan islands...yet you can get downtown in a matter of minutes. This is the best way to experience Seattle...in town but you don't feel like it.
WE HAVE A BEACH BUNGALOW AND A WATERFRONT DUPLEX FOR RENT
***********************************************************
BEACH BUNGALOW...................This little gem was built right on the beach in 1918 and we have maintained its old world charm. 1 BR & 1 BTH w/shower, stone "candle burning only" fireplace, beamed ceilings, beautiful wood floors and a spacious deck overlooking all of Puget Sound. It also has quality kitchen appliances and a big stainless steel gas grill on the deck. Cable TV, DVR, Payperview movies, DVD player and wireless internet are also available. Ocean wave sounds surround you day and night.....truely a one-of-a-kind property for a very special stay while in Seattle.
REGARDING BEACH BUNGALOW; you must be willing and able to navigate a few stairs....it's well worth the little extra effort if you choose to rent.

IMPORTANT NOTE
We offer a relaxing place to escape the city and stay in a quiet waterfront location.It is a great place for reading, writing, painting, cooking good meals, beach walking or just relaxing after a big day of sightseeing around town. It is not a place to plan a party or group gathering which is not allowed. It is also not conducive to children or pets either because of the dangers of the stairs and high decks on the property. Thank you for your consideration.
We are in a residential neighborhood and respect the peace and quiet we and our neighbors enjoy. Please inquire accordingly.

My wife and I purchased the property in 2000. In fact, we fell in love with the property years earlier when we were renting it....and we bought it from our Landlord. We are fortunate the property attracts quality renters who are looking for a special location for their stay in Seattle. The property delivers on that expectation which makes our job easy. We live in the Upper Unit when we are not traveling and have a local caretaker when we are. Thank you so much for your consideration.

A Special Place on Earth

I found this listing #115799 on VRBO and it is a special place on earth! I travel to Seattle to visit my family. But I also like to have a mini vacation while I am there. Hotels? Been there, done that. Visiting family does not mean that you have to share their bathroom. I love having my own space with quiet mornings and peaceful evenings. I love to be outdoors and enjoy nature, I love crisp clean air and spectacular water views, I love being on the water, but I get sea-sick. So this wonderful, secluded cottage is perfect… it is terra firma above the waves lapping on the shore beneath the deck. It is Right ON the water’s edge and it is totally private. From inside the cottage and from the outside deck that runs the length of the cottage, there are unobstructed views for miles of Puget Sound, Mt Rainer to the left and the Cascade Mountains to the right. The bedroom is exactly that, a very comfy bed in a room with a full wall window looking out at the Puget Sound and the trees and sky. (and raccoons sometimes) The cottage has a living room with a stone fireplace (use candles only) and two sets of double french doors that open out to the expansive deck. It has a fabulous modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, concrete counters, dishwasher, and the works. It is like living in Architectural Digest with white furniture, shells in apothecary jars and a powerful shower above a claw foot bathtub. The owners make sure that everything is impeccably clean, that everything is in working order and most importantly, they respect your privacy. Contact is by phone only. No knocking on the door to see if everything is all right. The cottage is only 15 minutes south to downtown or north to Ballard. Yet you feel as if you are on the outer islands. On the way in, I buy my food at a local market, which is located just a bit north of the Magnolia Bridge, and I’m set. I can’t wait to get back to “get away”. It is a wonderful feeling driving down to the cottage, knowing that I’m going to such a special place on earth! I have stayed here for three years and now I am willing to share. PS. There is a long flight of stairs from the street to the Cottage. Going down is easy. But back up, I have to pace myself.

In mid-October we (2 couples) rented the lower level unit and the beach cottage. We were delighted with both. All of the outdoor areas were lovely and felt very private. The spacious deck at the beach cottage was an especially enjoyable place to watch the ships and wildlife - we sat on the deck with coffee or cocoa every morning. We also used the sitting area down the path toward the beach often. We loved walking on the beach during low tide. The rooms themselves were tastefully decorated in a lovely beach cottage style and very clean. There were lots of little details that made the rooms very special. We loved the driftwood mantle in the lower level unit and the unique bathtub in the beach cottage. The pictures of the views from the lower level don't do the actual view justice, and the views from the beach cottage are spectacular. Both units were very well equipped with everything we needed and more (it was wonderful having a washer and dryer, too). The kitchen in the lower level is especially spacious and we used apples from the trees in the yard (suggested by owner) to make a pie. We were assigned off-street parking which was great since the road in front of the property is pretty narrow and we had rented a mini-van. We all agreed - next time we take a trip to Seattle, we want to stay here again.

My husband and I just stayed in the cottage. You are conveniently close to the city but feel like you are out in the wilderness alone. The cottage has absolutely everything and more than you could ever need. Even on a grey, rainy day in Seattle it is wonderful watching the water from the living room or the bed. Photos are very accurate. Jeff was very helpful. We would absolutely recommend this rental without reservation.

My wife and I came to Seattle to visit our daughter and found this gem to stay! We had a spectacular time, the place is absolutly as beautiful as it looks. The interior is so beautifully decorated and laid out that it feels much larger than it is. But, the deck, which we spent a lot of time on, makes the entire space feel much larger. The views inspired us every day and the light from the moon shining through the bedroom window at night, wonderful! The owenr, Jeff, was very helpful and available if needed, although we never needed assistance as everything was just spit spot! We plan to return and look forward to that day!

An iconic slice of Seattle

I've just read the reviews posted and can concur with them absolutely. I had lived in the NW/Seattle area for 45+ years and now return frequently. This cottage and property offers not only the BEST of the NW, but also a rich palate of Seattle's specific beauty and charm. If you are looking for the ultimate Seattle experience you can find it here. No need for crowded and tedious ferry lines to the San Juan Islands, or wrestling with I-5 / I-405 traffic or long car trips. From the pristine salty beach air, to 180 degree view of mountains, Elliott Bay, and islands, to shady lanes and greenery, to sounds of the tides and waves below, and only minutes from all corners of the city's most enticing neighborhoods and eateries, the property offers all this and more. You will find yourself reluctant to give up quiet relaxing hours in this charming house and yet find that excursions are an effortless jaunt with all amenities close at hand. The owner, Jeff, is most gracious and accommodating. The property impeccably maintained, inside and out, true to the beach side motif. Small touches, such as a bouquet of fresh flowers in a vase and votive candles tucked into every corner are evidence to the care with which the cottage is maintained. If you want an authentic and utterly perfect venue for your Seattle visit this is it. People DO really live like this, and you can experience it all right here. Questa casa e a pui buono albergo nella tutta citta Seattle. Sono beleca. Andiamo!

My wife and I rented the lower unit for two weeks and the beach cottage for our daughter and her husband for one week so that we could have a base of operations for our family vacation with our son who lives downtown. Everything was exactly as promised and as pictured. We loved experiencing the changing views of the Sound from our windows and the patio as the Seattle weather "did its thing." The parade of ships of all types and sizes and the flight and feeding of multiple species of birds during high and low tides provided us with constant visual stimulation. We appreciated and made use of Jeff's suggestions for restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed a spectacular two weeks and definitely will stay here again.

A Little Slice of Heaven in Seattle

Staying at this charming cottage was a vacation into itself! The pictures are simply a teaser...starting off the morning with a fresh brewed cup of coffee, the sun shimmering across the Sound, Mt. Rainier to the left and Mt. Olympus to the right, was more breathtaking than words can describe! We had wonderful excursions and meals in and around Seattle (only minutes away) and to national parks, however, we cancelled a few activities just so we could get back to sit and relax on the deck! The detail to decorating and inviting ambiance of the cottage is amazing! Every view, whether sitting on the sofa, in the kitchen area or lying in bed, takes in the Puget Sound. We had a wonderful anniversary trip and feel so lucky to have skipped the hotel scene and stayed at this Seattle gem!

My husband and I travel to Seattle several times a year. He goes for business and I go for pleasure but this time it was more than a pleasure...Staying in the lower level unit was a very peaceful,relaxing escape from the city.The unit was clean and simply charming with incredible water views! We kept the windows open all day and night and listened to the water which added to the feeling of relaxation and tranquility.The owner Jeff was very nice and made us feel extremely comfortable and right at home. He was helpful with information and ideas also.Although this place is secluded you can walk into the village and pass incredible homes along the way...Don't miss Palisade restaurant with delicious food and views of the Marina to complete the dining experience. This Seattle gem is a little piece of heaven on earth....

The Beach Cottage is a tiny gem within the City of Seattle. It is located within a 10 min. drive from downtown in a small picturesque area called Magnolia. The area is ripe with Parks, walking and running paths and gorgeous houses. The Cottage is so quaint and inviting that you will never want to leave. Jeff, the owner is an incredibly nice man who is very accommodating. You enter the Cottage down a set of stairs that are fenced in by bamboo. The cottage is natural and beach-themed. The expansive deck is incredible with chairs and tables and even sun loungers with cushions. The view is incredible. The cottage is actually on stilts and when you are in it, you feel like you are over top of the ocean. The bed is probably the nicest bed I have ever slept in. The queen bed is raised and faces a large picture window that looks over Puget sound. You can lie in bed and see the view..it's absolutely incredible. Open the window and hear the waves crash on the shore below. The kitchen is stocked with all the amenities you can imagine and even comes with some spices, oils and other items many places do not carry. The living room has a romantic candlelit fireplace, comfy furniture and an assortment of quality magazines and books. There is wireless internet, a flat-screen TV and stereo equipment. This Cottage is very quiet and away from the bustle of downtown. This cottage has an amazing ability to feel like home.
