This home has hosted as few as two as well as families for holidays, wedding visitors & reunions. The home boasts three defined spaces- city view master suite, main floor living with a king suite, & garden level suites and living area. Japanese maples & towering stones grace the front courtyard with huge terra cotta pots at the entrance. Through the front door, functional art lights a wide entry with a fireplace. Custom inlaid stairs lead to the large city view master suite and bath, large closet, & adjoining office. Dual sliders open to a 750 square foot deck that views Elliott bay, downtown Seattle, and the Cascades south to Mount Rainier. Main level holds a custom kitchen & great room. If you enjoy the preparation of food, this is your place. The granite and stainless kitchen have dual sinks, Thermador ovens, Dacor 6-burner cook top, warming drawer, separate full-size fridge/ freezer, microwave, and diamond-shaped island. Great room holds HDTV, Bose surround sound, and wireless internet and printer available. The entertainment center is designed to be used without losing interaction with anyone cooking in the kitchen. Please check out the pictures of the Spa bath; we've been told this is a highly unique vacation rental that shows even better than the pictures. We hope you get the chance to enjoy!
Warm Regards, Alex

Surpassed our expectations. Great place for a family gathering. West Seattle was a great place to stay. Easy access to main arteries, to Alki Beach, groceries, and to water taxi. Bonus weather so we were able to enjoy the deck for our entire stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.

We were travelling with another family and two exchange students who were visiting Seattle for the first time. The house was very spacious and while the adults stayed on the top two floors, all the kids were in the daylight basement. The beds were very comfortable and the shower in the downstairs area was awesome. The kitchen had lots of neat features and the fridge could store enough food for an army of people for a week! The dining room table seemed small for the size of the house and the number it can accomodate however. If you enjoy wine, there is a wine cellar with an opportunity to purchase from their stock. The house was about 1/2 mile (uphill) from the bus stop and a mile from a Safeway store. Alkai Beach was a mere 3 1/2 mile away. Overall, these were great accomodations for a large party.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Sarah for the review! Your group was wonderful! Glad you enjoyed our home!

High end house with all the amenities you would ever need. If you have young kids (<3 yrs). you will have to keep an eye on them at all times due to the open stairwells/layout. Everything was very clean and orderly. Great communication with the owner throughout the rental process. You should have no hesitation renting this unit.Did you find this review helpful?

This home was beyond amazing. It is all that it is stated on the site plus oh, so much more. We had a party of eight adults and we never felt crowded or cramped at all. It has so many personal touches that one would include only in a home that you lived in all of the time. The owners were very special people and the neighborhood was great. Easy access to the local markets, restaurants, and yes, the water taxi to Seattle. There is ample parking off the street. You could easily park three cars in the driveway. The views, the kitchen, the bathrooms, all king sized beds (which you never find) and I could go on. I have rented over a dozen homes from VRBO and this one tops all of them. I highly suggest that you rent this wonderful property!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

50 Wedding Anniversary.

We stayed in Lisa and Alex's VRBO for five days in August celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Our family flew in from Boise, Denver and Pittsburgh. Saturday our first day everyone found a bedroom to suit them. The grandchildren and our daughter and partner stayed in the two bedrooms on the lower level and we showed pictures and video's of our 50 years together on the lower level also.. I connected my MacBook Air to HDTV to show the images. On Sunday we had a gathering of family and friends on the main level. My son an executive chef at Act 3 Catering provided the food for everyone. On Monday we all took the foot ferry over to Pikes Street market. On Tuesday we all climbed aboard an electric boat for a 2 hour cruse of Lake Union. The top level deck overlooking the city was a favorite place to hang out in the early morning and the evening lights of Seattle were spectacular. The top deck was also a great place to take group pictures with the flowered lattice as a backdrop. We met Lisa the first day of our rental and she was very welcoming and helpful in "showing" the house. The house with its three levels was great for everyone to find some space for themselves. All in all having our 50 there turned out to exceed our expectations.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

We absolutely loved staying in this house while visiting Seattle for our nieces wedding. There were 7 adults and we had more than enough room for all.... the view from the deck is just awesome, spent many a night sharing a glass of wine with my sisters and my brother in law loved cooking in the gourmet kitchen. Seattle a 10 min drive downtown was easily accessible and stores, groceries only a short drive from the house. Definitely recommend this home, it is extremely well kept and the ammenties are top of the line. Hope to be back soon! Thank you Lisa and Alex!Owner response: Thank you so much for your stay; I often feel like we get to share in folks vacations, it's a great experience!

We stayed at this lovely home for a family reunion and could not have chosen a more perfect place! The layout of the home (three levels with large deck and lovely Zen backyard) was ideal for our group as everyone had his/her space. Liked the fact that there are two large TVs with adequate seating in two different areas of the house - for multi-generational viewing. Very well appointed with whimsical decor added to the ambience. The kitchen truly is a dream! Top of the line appliances with extra touches such as an electric food warming drawer, double oven, six-burner range with pot filling faucet, and extra-large fridge/freezer. Temperature-controlled wine room was convenient too! Deluxe LG washer and dryer were convenient. The 180 degree view from the top deck of the city and Cascades is to die for - we spent many evenings watching the sun set over the trees from there. West Seattle is very convenient - the house was only a few minutes drive down to the foot ferry(a 10 minute ride for only $4 per person each way) that drops you right at the Seattle market. The drive over the West Seattle bridge was quick - we made it to the Seattle train station and back to the house on a Monday morning in only 25 minutes. A Safeway and a gourmet whole foods type market are also only a few minutes drive over the hill. A Trader Joes is also within a few minutes' drive. There are several great bars/restaurants in West Seattle if you don't want to venture over to the city. Over all, this was a wonderful home in a great location with a fabulous view - A+ in our book! Thank you!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for the wonderful review and we are glad that you had a great time at our home while in Seattle.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1997
About the owner: Hello, My name is Alex and I enjoy a good chat and friendly folks. The opportunity to induce a laugh, or even a smile brightens the day. My favorite victim is my wife Lisa, she's wonderfully patient.
Why the Owner Chose West Seattle:
I came across this house in 1997 and spent the better part of a decade with a full remodel. I loved the attractions of the neighborhood; The 'Junction' and Alki beach areas of West Seattle have unbelievable food, a high rate of supermarket saturation, easy and mostly free parking, huge views of the water, ferries, and the downtown skyline all the way to Mt. Rainier! In addition, our proximity to the heart of Seattle is very, very close; we even have a foot ferry that, in a picturesque 10 min. ride, will drop you off in Seattle's entertaining waterfront area close to the Pike Place Market.
