Stunning Waterfront//Beachfront Condo on Alki Beach/W. Seattle
- Minimum stay:3-4 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
The building is small with only 3 units, ours is the top unit with the most spectacular views. If you want to spend the day beachcombing for treasures on the beach, it's right in front. Sleeps 1-4 with 2 baths. One of the most unique aspects of our property is that it is directly on the beach where the tide rarely comes all the way in so you can ALWAYS enjoy the beach. There is always beach access. Within minutes of arriving, you feel calm and serene as you listen to the waves and gulls & watch for seals and other wildlife. We're just 4 houses down from the Alki lighthouse. It is in lee (shelter) of Alki Point. During the summer it's calm and warm, degrees higher than around the point where the north wind blows cool marine air across the water and directly onto the beach. The large private deck will add to your enjoyment as you watch the sunsets, gulls, boats, or linger over a leisurely meal.
Keywords: Condo on Alki Beach of Puget Sound with incredible views of several islands, Mt. Ranier, the Alki Lighthouse (4 doors down) & the Olympic Mountain range. Beautiful beachfront condo. Throughout the year watch gulls, seals, eagles & other aquatic sealife as well as ferries and other fantastic boat traffic just out the front door.
West Seattle is an incredible location and community. With outdoor activities such as beachcombing for treasures, kayaking, biking, jogging, walking, roller blading, swimming...etc. only a short stroll away from the condo. City life in downtown Seattle is only 15 minutes away by ferry, car or bus where you can enjoy great shopping, theatre, restaurants, museums, Pike Place Market, Seattle Waterfront, the Zoo, the Aquarium and much more!!! Public transportation is readibly available.

Not only will the views sweep you off of your feet, but the kitchen is over the top and the bathrooms match. This condo is on the top floor of a super convenient complex within walking distance of somewhere people from all over Washington and beyond come to enjoy, which is Alki Beach and its endless entertainment from watersports to biking to nightlife. The water traffic you will observe while barbequeing from the deck of the condo is in itself pure entertainment. Oh and did I mention the sunset?!?!? This made our "staycation" epic! Janice is so easy to work with and leaving the condo was as easy as showing up. If you are coming to the Emerald City, this is the place to be!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

The Alki Beach Condo is a remarkable place to call home while visiting Seattle. I was in Seattle on an extended business trip and decided to spend time on Alki instead of downtown Seattle. I selected this condo and am so grateful that I did. I travel often and sometimes for an extended time so when I find a place that I really feel at home, I count my blessings. I will begin counting with Janice and Brian; they are wonderful owners who make you feel welcomed in their home. They are helpful without being intrusive. The condo is beautiful while maintaining a “homey” feel. I spent time here in January so the fireplace was a must have. Sitting in front of the warm fire and watching the action on the sound was such a wonderful experience, it looked as if the water started right outside the sliding glass doors. The condo really exceeds its’ description. It is beautifully adorned with showroom bathrooms and kitchen. I loved that the bathroom was large enough to store my entire month’s worth of getting dressed items! If you are considering a stay on Alki, I highly recommend this condo. You will love it here. Janice & Brian, Thank you so much for your hospitality. I look forward to staying at the condo again someday.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Sonia, Thank you so much for the lovely review. It was truly our pleasure to have you stay with us. You were the perfect guest! We do hope you'll find the opportunity to return to Seattle and stay with us again. Our very best, Brian and Janice

I loved the condo as soon as we walked in. It is very warm and inviting with a real homey feel. We arrived after dark so didn't realize how beautiful our surroundings were until we woke up in the morning. In walking down the hall from the bedroom all you see out the window is water, just amazing. While sitting on the deck one afternoon the waves actual lulled me to sleep, nice little nap. The condo is also big enough that I could escape to the bedroom to watch a movie while my husband and sons watched the game. Alki beach is a great location. We would go for a nice long walk along the beach in the morning, stop on the way back at the cafe for breakfast and then grab a Starbucks to take back to the condo. It's a 5 minute walk to the shuttle and bus stops. We took the bus to a Mariners game, really easy and we didn't have to find parking. Thank you Janice for your hospitality. Hopefully we can make it to your place again next year.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Reeny for your lovely review. I'm so thankful for guests like you who enjoy our place. We feel truly blessed to have such a unique place and that we're able to share it with great people like you! Have a wonderful holiday season. All our best, Brian and Janice

My family of four (two teens 18 and 16) spent a few days in the Seattle area and found this VRBO to be a perfect fit. The photos don't do it justice. It has a great location! It's an easy drive to the ferry to head to Seattle (the ferry has a shuttle as well), within walking distance to the public beach and several great restaurants, yet secluded enough that we felt like we had privacy. We did some sight-seeing, read, played games and enjoyed being a family away from our busy world at home. Thanks for opening up your home Janice. We loved it!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.
Owner response: Hi Tracy, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We so appreciate hearing that you had a wonderful time and that you enjoyed staying at our place. We hope you will come back to Seattle soon. All our best, Janice and Brian

Our family stayed at Janice's property for Thanksgiving. It was super convenient to Alki Beach and just as lovely as pictured. Janice had great communication, and even helped supply us with key equipment for our Thanksgiving feast. The weather wasn't very cooperative, so we couldn't enjoy the amazing views, but literally you feel as if you are on top of the water. One night a neighbor knocked on the door and offered us some pizza he had cooked in his wood brick oven. The building was small and quiet, and a perfect fit for us. You can walk to many restaurants and bars, and it was a quick drive up to grocery stores. The location is ideal! Thanks, Janice for your hospitality and speedy return of our security deposit. We appreciate it. Hopefully we'll be back soon to visit our daughter, son-in-law and newborn granddaughter. It was certainly a memorable trip for us, and the accommodations just added to the experience.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

The location is perfect.. Choose between enjoying the quiet side of the Alki area from the deck or beach or walk a couple of minutes to the public beachfront and all the activity it has to offer. Sit on the deck and watch the water and the mountains with a bonus view of Mt. Ranier to your left. The condo looks even better than the pictures on this site. Janice has put a lot of energy into the details in her home, everything is top quality. You can tell from the property how much she cares that guests have a great experience at her condo.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Hi Janice, Oh my goodness! What a wonderful stay! It was so peaceful and relaxing. Just what we were looking for and it was just the kind of quality time we wanted to spend with our friend. We got back this morning at about 1am after a long long drive. But the trip was well worth it! Thank you so much for your flexibility and prayers! It is very likely that our next trip to Seattle will include another stay at your condo! Thanks! ChesiDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Janice, Thank you so much for letting us stay, it will be a trip we remember for a long time. It will be somewhere we recommend for sure and we will definitely be back and would think of nowhere else to stay but on Alki beach at your house. The morning walks with my daughter to get coffee every morning were priceless and we had a meal at La Rustca that was amazing. The red clam chowder was the best I ever had and we ate the leftovers for breakfast before we left yesterday morning. Your house made the trip wonderful thank you so much again. Maybe next time we will get to share some wine with you guys. JeanDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

When you walk in you are absolutely CAPTURED by the incredible VIEW! WOW! It is stunning! Then, after you catch your breath...you turn around and cannot believe this beautiful living space! The wood floors are gorgeous. The kitchen is quaint yet modern and the granite is beautiful. The lighting above the bar is fantastic! The granite in the master bath is GEORGOUS! As is the tile work. I LOVE the way you tiled the toe kick like the floor. Very nice touch. Walking along the water was so much fun and you can go in both directions! We enjoyed this immensely! And people were so very nice. Your location on the top floor is exquisite. Having the wide open deck on the top floor is sooooo much more awesome than the other two units. Definitely the BEST! We especially loved the lighthouse! What a beautiful part of the view with the lush green grass and very fun at night! The deck is so much fun to sit on and enjoy! We love watching the wildlife and hearing the surf. The sea lions were my favorite. Soooo relaxing and beautiful to watch the changing views. With fog and without it was all so beautiful. The leather reclining chairs are the most comfortable chairs we've ever sat in. These are just some of the things we loved so very much about staying at your condo. Everything was close and convenient. Your maps and instructions were wonderful & we never wanted for anything! Thank you so much for your hospitality. We look forward to staying there again someday.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We were happily surprised that the condo exceeded its description. It is full of pretty details and "show house" worthy bathrooms and kitchen. When we were sitting in the living area it looked as if the water started right outside the sliding doors. The owner was very thoughtful and left coffee, etc for our use, suggestions about the area and use of the appliances. We certainly will apply to stay there again the next time we are in West Seattle.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much for a wonderful review! I'm so happy that you found everything better than expected! All my best, Janice

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: My husband and I love life, both the ocean and the mountains, and love West Seattle!
Why the Owner Chose West Seattle:
We used to have a home up the hill with views of the city, but longed for the incredible sunsets & the sounds of the waves lapping the beach. This area of Seattle is truly the best, as you are close to the downtown area, but also world's away.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Right on Alki beach with fantastic restaraunts, coffee shops (yes, Starbucks among others), a great art gallery , a convenience store...just down the beach a couple of blocks...a short walk. This is truly a 'walkers' paradise. The 'best' Seattle grocery store just 2 miles away. There is public bus transportation to Seattle a few blocks from the condo on the Alki Beach boardwalk. Our property is next to the picturesque Alki Point lighthouse. You have the ability to be as private as you want, or as involved in the Seattle beach seen as you like! Our location is enough off of the beaten path that you can feel you are in your own private hideaway, though just steps away is the fun action of Alki Beach. Alki Beach is the only natural sandy beach in Seattle & was the first point where settlers arrived, so there is some wonderful history. Wonderful beach with firepit and great logs for furniture! The beach is really just out your front door! Truly an amazing property. You will not be disappointed! This is a one of a kind place.
20 minutes from SeaTac Airport, 10 minutes to downtown Seattle... Great access to downtown for those Husky football games!
