Peaceful and beautiful !!

My husband and I loved our 3 night stay at this property. Sandra was so friendly and gave us great tips on areas to see. The area is peaceful and quiet. The views of Pugent Sound are amazing. We experienced incredible sunsets with beautiful after glows until well after 10:00 p.m. There was a lovely breeze despite the 90 degree weather that weekend. The area is close to all the fun and sites that Seattle has to offer. We highly recommend!

Seattle get away

This property was well supplied, comfortable, quiet and exactly what we wanted for our stay in Seattle. Sandra was very responsive when we had a small issue with the washing machine and quickly resolved the situation. The view was beautiful. We will definitely stay here again. Rhonda and Randy

Best of both worlds! Definitely made our visit extraordinary

Where to start? This was our first trip to Seattle and we were torn between staying in the city and staying someplace that gave an amazing view of the sound. This location was the best of both! We were ~7 miles from the city center, a super easy drive, and the views, oh the views. We had everything we needed and Sandra was amazing with recommendations on places to go. We did not leverage public transportation but easily could have. Absolutely wonderful location. PS - keep an eye out for bald eagles flying over and an ear out for seals barking in the bay 💖

Fantastic!

I loved my weeklong stay at this property. It is a well-managed property, and I felt comfortable and safe. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the knives were actually sharp, which was a real treat given my love for cooking. I would definitely consider staying here again. The property owners were kind and responsive.

Beautiful view and convenient location

This property was conveniently located within similar travel times to all the places we planned to visit while in Washington; it is well kept and the hosts were nice and friendly. However, it’s important to mention (as the property description doesn’t include it) that this apartment is right below the owners’ home so you’ll definitely hear them walking around their house (which can wake you up very early in the morning) or see them in the garden and driveway. Overall I think is a good place for a quick vacation.

Book now…you will not be disappointed!

The property was perfect for our needs with an incredible water view! It was clean and modern and more than plenty of room for two people with ample closet and dresser space to unpack and stay awhile. You have access to a spacious grassy backyard and spectacular views! It was an easy drive from the airport, ferry terminal, and downtown Seattle yet you feel very far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sandra and George could not be more hospitable and welcoming. Don’t hesitate to book a stay at this comfortable and cute unit! You will not be disappointed!

Great location, we could bike from the apartment easily through Golden Gardens to Ballard and cross the locks to Magnolia and Downtown Seattle. Sandra and George were lovely hosts! Will definitely stay again our next trip to Seattle!

Excellent and lovely in North Beach

We arrived at a perfect time to enjoy the beautiful view from this place. The backyard felt both open with the view but also private. The inside of our apartment was the nicest VRBO we have ever had. It was wonderfully clean, very comfortable, with full kitchen, nice size bedroom, lots of storage for our things, great shower and bathroom space. It was in a neighborhood that was both interesting and beautiful for walking. The location was convenient to stores,parks, restaurants and an easy drive to downtown. I can not recommend it more highly!

Beautiful view

This is a 1B/1B home. The owners live above but that is not an issue. They respect your privacy and you don't know they are there. I think that's important for people to know from the onset. The home is lovely. The lake view every morning was so beautiful and relaxing. We had visits from 3 sweet cats. They ventured into the backyard but left us alone. Ok, I am an animal person so IF you chose to pet them you could. (In my case only one permitted the pats) The place is well stocked. I like that they encourage recycling and composting! The place is so quiet and relaxing and close to Golden Garden Park. We had a wonderful stay.

A Gem in Ballard

The location, view, and comfortable back yard made our stay memorable. We saw a family of raccoons and many cats in the yard as well as beautiful views of Puget Sound day and night. The weather cooperated so we saw the mountains, stars, and sunsets. The apartment is modern and comfortable. I had a mishap with the bed and the owner was quite gracious about the whole thing. Thanks for a lovely stay!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Brenner

Host profile image
George is one of the few true Seattlites - born and raised on Queen Anne Hill. Also, born and raised in Washington State, I've called Seattle home since 1988 and couldn't imagine living elsewhere. We are both in real estate and love selling homes throughout our beautiful region.

Why they chose this property

The North Beach neighborhood of Seattle is a quiet gem. Close to parks and the restaurants of Ballard, but far enough away to be nice and quiet. The apartment is the lower part of our home, with separate entrance. Guests love the views, quietness and close proximity to everything our city has to offer.
