  Great place to stay, had a wonderful time and if I ever get the chance to visit Seattle thus will be the first place I will check for availability. It's great for all ages, my 81 year old mother was with me and truly enjoyed every minute of it. The hot tub was great and the walks on the beach alone with the views were amazing. Pictures on VRBO doesn't do it justice at all. The owners were great and very friendly and helpful.

  The pictures do not do it justice! The house was very clean and modern. It's incredibly spacious. The living room comfortably seats at least 8 people at once. We had 6 in our group and there was plenty of room. It's fully stocked with all appliances you would need, and our kids loved playing the board games and video games. The view is amazing! The water is right across the street. We walked along the beach and went to several wonderful restaurants, all within walking distance. The Alki Beach Café is phenomenal. We went there twice in the same weekend, it was that good. I recommend this rental for sure!

  The house is located just across the road from a public beach and is ideal for walking and biking, and yet very quiet. The view of the Olympic mountains and the Seattle skyline are fabulous. It is also within walking distance of several restaurants. The owner was very easy to contact and very responsive to all my requests. I will certainly recommend this house to my friends.

  We rented this unit for a dive weekend with friends and we are already planning a return visit!! Gorgeous homey unit, full kitchen and laundry in the unit, comfortable bedding, plenty of linens, lots of seating in the living room for large groups, welcome snack on the large dining table, hot and cold water to rinse our gear outside, hot tub with views of the Seattle skyline, I just can't say enough!!! Superb location! Walk across the street to dive the Alki "Junkyard", just down the street from Alki Coves 1-3 and a dive shop for air, half hour from Edmonds Underwater Park, and there are so many other local places to shore dive. Restaurants line the street starting at the next block. Marination restaurant is a MUST TRY at the water taxi pier at Alki Cove 1. Their authentic Hawaiian shave ice is AMAZING!! Downtown Seattle, Pike's Market, the Waterfront, is a short drive or on Summer weekends, just a water taxi ride away! The owners are onsite and available for anything you need. Super friendly and accommodating, above and beyond all expectations. Thank you Dylan for a fantastic weekend!! Hopefully once word gets out how amazing your place is, we will still be able to find openings!

  A group of us stayed at this house, it was clean, very well stocked, and a perfect location for diver's. The owner even hooked up hot and cold water outside for us to wash our scuba gear off. If you are a diver you will know how great that is in the cold weather. We can't wait to return!

  This property exceeded our expectations! It's even better than the pictures show and the location is excellent. It is right across the street from the beach which can be viewed by the living room window on a very quiet street. The area itself is very quaint and it has convenient access to restaurants, shops, grocery shopping and many more amenities. The accomodation is very comfortable and is equipped with everything you need to have a great time away. Dylan is a very flexible and accomodating host. We look forward to visiting again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice get away close to downtown Seattle but has its own ambience and charm.

  Not too often you get to enjoy beach front property in Seattle, watching passenger ferries, container ships, tugboats, sea lions and orcas but here at Alki Beach it is all possible. The Seattle skyline, including the space needle are a pretty sight in the evening and the outdoor activities such as kayaking, jogging and walking the strip are convenient pleasures. The Cactus Restaurant makes a great Margarita and you are within walking distance of at least a half dozen restaurants and a couple of coffee shops including Tully's and Starbuck's. This relatively new ground level construction is a great gathering spot for up to 8 guests. The proprietors make sure your stay is clean and comfortable. We were very pleased with the rental accommodations, the proximity to restaurants and the views - as they say, location, location, location.

  This rental house is perfect! It is spacious, large kitchen (a must for me) and everything you could need in your home away from home. And did I mention that it is in a Perfect location. Easy to get to downtown Seattle if need be but plenty to do in West Seattle (Admiral, Alaska Junction{Bakery Nouveau is a MUST!!}, Alki {Cactus, Celtic Swell and Alki Cafe}). Dylan is very accommodating and responsive, in short a wonderful host/manager! Love this place - already planning a trip back! Highly recommending this house for your upcoming vacation! You will not be disappointed, I promise!
