  This vacation rental must be listed at the top of the quality places available at VRBO. The house was spotlessly clean. The decor was beyond belief. It felt as if you were in a museum. Everywhere you looked, there was something interesting to see on display. The kitchen, bedrooms and living area were very comfortable. Many items in the kitchen not normally provided were available, i.e. a huge variety of spices. The yard was as interesting as the house. It was full of gorgeous plants, fish pond, hot tub. This is a very special vacation cottage.

  Our hosts were friendly and helpful. Very easy to work with. Their home is absolutely charming, beautifully decorated, very comfortable and very clean. It is even better than the pictures show and we immediately felt at home. Adult son enjoyed his own space, dad appreciated the location and mom felt extremely pampered. Took advantage of the hot tub and loved the extra room for changing, etc. Our stay there was perfect and we will definitely stay again!

  Just now rating our stay at the Beach Bungalow for our July 2012 vacation. The bungalow is quite lovely and had all the features we needed for a comfortable stay. The house, deck and yard are all neat and clean. The key code door entry worked great. My sister and I occupied the upstairs, main area of the house while my niece and her friend used the lower space for relaxing and sleeping. We enjoyed the kitchen/deck area the best and spent most of our time there. The deck looks out the back of the house at the landscaped yard, the parking space and the alley. The parking space is small and accessed via the alley and we had a tough time parking our mid-sized rental car but managed OK by posting guides at the front and back of the car and by moving the trash cans to provide more space to pull in to the property. It was impossible for us to find parking space on the street in front of, or near the house. I enjoyed walking around the residential areas and down to the beach. There are some terrific views from some side streets and some really cool "Seattle beach-style" houses to see. We wanted to cook at the bungalow to save some $$ but discovered that the nearest store (within walking distance) was on the street at the beach and had very little selection at very inflated prices. We highly anticipated the West Seattle Street Fest that happens in July and were very disappointed - not worth the bother. Walking the beach and people-watching is what we did most in West Seattle. I have to admit that there were a few times that we were uneasy about some cars cruising the beach areas and roudy parties at the beach. But there were families with kids mixed in the crowds so we didn't feel unsafe- just a little anxious... The tour of the lighthouse was informative and worth the visit. Overall, a fun trip and a nice stay at the beach bungalow. The bungalow was a good value and I would recommend it to future vacationers to Seattle. Lastly- outside of 2 days, we relied totally (from SeaTac to front door) on public transportation - Sounder train, water taxi, ferry and city bus. Had a little difficulty finding a taxi company servicing West Seattle - not sure what that was about... Anyway, a "thumbs up" for the bungalow! Hope this review helps you decide.

  This family of four with two pre-school-aged kids traveled to Seattle to visit a relative. We were looking for a house in a safe neighborhood to save money on food and activities. Did we ever hit the jackpot! This home was lovely and provided hours of fun with the hot tub, fish pond, and short walk to the beach, all for the same price as a hotel room downtown. My youngest daughter still asks when we are going to go back to our other house, meaning this VRBO in Seattle. It was our home away from home, and we can't wait to stay there again on our next visit!

  We normally stay at 4 star hotels, but decided to try VRBO instead. We were not disappointed!! This is a charming bungalow that far exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place. Everything was spotless!! We enjoyed having all of the extra space. The house is stocked with absolutely everything you need! They didn't forget a thing!! It is in a great location within walking distance of the beach & restaurants. We look forward to our next stay when all of the beautiful gardens are in full bloom.

  We loved our short but wonderful stay at your Bungalow. The house was neat and clean and very nicely decorated I might add. Had the weather been nicer we could have taken advantage of the nice deck area in back. It was very convenient as my son lived only three blocks away. I would definitely consider staying there again

  A Perfect experience with owners Tom and Pam from beginning to end - very prompt in answering our questions and suggesting things to do... Perfect location - a couple of blocks away from Alki Beach where we walked along the beach, dined at the diverse restaurants and caught a water taxi to downtown Seattle. Perfect lodging - with 2 separate living/sleeping areas, it provided the ultimate privacy... the attention to details made us feel like we were 'home.' Perfect place for relaxing - in the beautifully decorated cottage or on the deck surrounded by the blooming flowers and the soothing sound of water. A perfect home-base return destination to see the Seattle area sights we missed during our short stay in September! Can’t wait to come ‘home’ in the near future!

  This house was quite obviously so much more than a rental home from the moment we called Pam and Tom to see if we could drop off our bags a bit early on arrival. We could not have asked for a better ending to our two weeks in Seattle than the comfort, quiet and relaxation that this gem on Alki offered us. There are so many wonderful little touches here that show just how magical a place Alki (and Seattle) are, and just what the people here are all about. The backyard was our main living space for our (much too brief) time here. From all of the wonderful plants and flowers, to the young Koi and all the fun and funky hand-crafted, artful items in the yard. We found ourselves at a point of relaxation that we haven't experienced in years. I cannot wait to come back to this fantastic, magical place. Pam and Tom...thank you soooo much for the use of your home. I'll be in touch when your next property comes available as weel. ;-)

  My significant other than I wanted to do a family vacation with 2 teens. We had no idea what to expect. We usually stay at the Hotel 1000 in downtown Seattle. We were nervous about amenities but this house is fabulous! Pam is awesome. They provide you with everything little necessity which I didn't realize would be there. The pictures do not do it justice. The upstairs main focus is the beautiful kitchen, deck, pond, peaceful, just breathtaking!!! The water pressure in the house was great (it's the little things that count) and wonderful dressing room and bedroom. The living area is beautiful but we used the back deck and kitchen more. The downstairs had a utility room with washer/dryer, bedroom with TV, and living room made up just for us for the second teenager by Pam who did I mention is wonderful?. The location is perfect, literally a block and a half from the beach where there are restaurants, coffee bars, etc. I had a BBQ while there with some friends and family...they are thinking of renting it for a week next summer so they can just hang at the beach...they live in Seattle!! That's how great we think this place is. Definitely recommend it 100% for families or a few friends for some activities and quiet time.
