Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Hi, we're Liz and John and we'd like to welcome you to our townhome in Ballard. A little about us: we met in the south of France where we lived for several years before relocating to Seattle in 2000. John is Irish and speaks French, Spanish and Portuguese. Liz grew up on Bainbridge, a beautiful island in the Puget Sound. Our interests are varied: we're musicians, motorcyclists, fishers, hikers, skiiers, bikers, climbers, kayakers, entrepreneurs, sustainable farmers, gourmet foodie locavores, dog whisperer wannabees, wilderness lovers. We practice meditation and yoga and do our best to parent our wonderful four year old.
Why the Owner Chose Ballard
The location of our townhome is perfect for vacation and is the type of home we would like to stay in ourselves when we travel. It is within walking distance of beaches, parks, sailing marina, fabulous restaurants and all sorts of recreation. The layout of the property makes it an instant home away from home.
The Unique Benefits of this Townhome
Sit quietly by the Ballard Locks just a short walk from our townhome and read a book while boats and ships glide by or view the immense salmon run through the famous fish ladders at the Locks. Barbeque with friends at the Golden Gardens beach and see sea lions and seals (or at least hear them barking!). Take a sailboat or kayak and explore the Puget Sound. Puget Sound is also reputed to have some of the finest scuba diving on the West coast. Whatever your tastes, our townhome in Ballard is located in a safe and friendly neighborhood with a unique character and unrivalled amenities.

Fantastic Seattle Vacation
Guest: Florida Family
(The Villages, FL)
Date of Stay: 07/28/11
Review Submitted: 08/16/11
My wife & I brought our Daughter, Son-in-law & 3 Grandsons to Seattle for a week's vacation as they had never been there before. We could not have found a more perfect place to stay. We'd had a rental car reserved but canceled it because we were so convenient to everything we needed. Grocery store (2 blocks), Bus stop (3 blocks), Downtown Ballard (5 blocks) and the Ballard Locks (7 blocks). One of our best finds was the KISS Cafe' on Market St. on our way to The Ballard Locks. They had a wonderful selection of Northwestern Beers, Fantastic sandwiches and it seemed like a nice neighborhood place that was kid friendly. The grandkids would have eaten every meal there if we would have let them. Another place the kids enjoyed was Stone Gardens (has Rock Climbing Walls) that was between The KISS Cafe' and The Ballard Locks. John was a delight to deal with. Very accommodating. The residence was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. We highly recommend this Walker's Paradise.

We stayed at the townhouse, with family, for our daughter's wedding in May 2011. It was wonderful. Everything was clean and well kept. It offered plenty of living space and we all were very comfortable. Walking to the grocery store worked out perfectly. It was close to the bus line downtown for travelers to explore during their stay.

I agree with the other reviewers. The unit is as described and the owner is very responsive. The best part is the location. My adult kids and I walked to numerous bars and restaurants and had a great experience! Market Street in Ballard is very hip and charming! Don't hesitate, if this unit meets your space requirements, go for it.

We had a wonderful experience with this rental. The owner was warm, friendly and available. The accommodations were very nice, in a great location, and met all of our needs. There was a minor drain issue with the house, and the owner attended to the problem very quickly, and with no fuss! We absolutely would stay here again, and you should consider doing so as well! Thank you for a great, hassle-free stay!

The Ballard townhouse was ideal for our family over the holidays. It was easily walking distance to downtown area. Many restaurants are nearby as is a market. The unit was clean and well maintained. We would happily stay in the unit again. The owner of the unit was very responsive and thoughtful. A walking trail is easily accessible.

Ballard house

Review Submitted: 10/25/10
My family stayed in this house in October for a week. This was the first time I have ever done this and this house was the best. The description on the website is very accurate , the house is clean and stocked with enough towels and sheets. The owner John was easy to get along with and accessible for questions. My daughter lives in Freemont and we stayed in this house for a week before she got married. We were able to relax , visit the locks , there is a grocery store close by and Ballard is a great town. The best was being able to park in the driveway. I would more than recommendt anyone staying here.

Best Place Ever

Review Submitted: 08/27/10
We were here for a week for our daughter's wedding. We shared with my sister and her family, one of whom was the three year old flower girl. We were extremely comfortable. We found the place to be immaculate and very well appointed. The kitchen became an opportunity for real cooking. We entertained the family of the groom for a lovely meal. We prepped the food for a rehearsal barbecue. My sister baked and decorated 190 cupcakes for the wedding! The walkability of the neighborhood and the convenience of the shops was wonderful. John was an excellent host. We surely hope we can stay there again!

Fantastic townhome in the heart of Ballard

Review Submitted: 07/28/10
This review is quite tardy, but hey--better late than never! I stayed at the townhome with four other people in February, and it was perfect! Right next to Market Street and other prime Ballard locations, this townhome was exactly what we were looking for. Spotless, spacious, bright, and very cozy (but not small by any means)--we had an excellent trip and looked forward to coming 'home' each night. John was super friendly and went the extra mile for us. Thanks so much for everything!

We loved staying at this property. John, the owner is delightful and he runs a great business with his vacation rentals. As advertised, the townhome is very spacious, spotless and above all extremely well located close to downtown Ballard and the beach. We will definitely be coming back in future.
