About this property

Alki Beach Studio Oasis- Quiet Escape & Sweeping Ocean Views. Parking & AC.


Looking to get away from your normal day-to-day household? Need a quiet space to “work from home?” Socially isolate in this quiet studio & walk down to the famous Alki beach or hike at Schmitz Park nearby. Unwind on the deck & watch for whales while enjoying great views of Puget Sound & mountains.

-Washer & Dryer use for stays longer than 4 days, code provided upon request.

Studio is ground level suite (beneath owners personal home that is sometimes rented out to other tenants) . It has its own separate entrance, which is on opposite side of owners entrance for complete privacy. Please make sure all food delivery orders are dropped off at the correct studio entrance on HALLECK Ave.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.) House is located in a steep, hill area-manageable, but challenging for some. We have 9 steps to get up to the studio, so please keep that in mind for your suitcases, elderly and persons with walking disability.
2.) Free street parking on back & side of the house.
3.) We are not beachfront. Our studio is a short walk up the steep hill from the beach, approximately 1 minute walk.
4.) We are a ground level studio suite (approx 400 square feet). Above is our main house where we will either occupy it with our children OR other tenants. So you may hear some footsteps from above. We do have good noise insulation, especially if you close the wooden door in the hallway if the studio suite.

Our house was featured in the 2015 issue of the Seattle Times- just to add in that cool factor :)

Excellent View and Location

Overall, this is a great place to stay. The owner quickly responded to my questions. It is like staying at your cousin’s house, which is just fine, as opposed to staying at a luxury rental. It was clean and comfortable. The downfalls are it says washer/dryer, but it is only available if you stay 4 nights or longer and there is no air conditioning, only a fan. Also

Gorgeous Ocean View

I loved this property. Amazing views. Awesome location. Restaurants in walking distance. Water taxis to downtown Seattle. Loved having coffee on the patio in the morning and a glass of wine at the end of the day. You do need to be able to navigate some stairs and the street is steep. We are in our 60's and it was no problem for us. Would not hesitate to book again.

Perfect Couple's Retreat

We had such a great time visiting the beautiful city of Seattle, but it was great to wake up and go home to this little get away every night. The view was beautiful and it was nice just to sit out on the patio and watch the ferry's go by. We had everything we needed for our stay and after this experience I don't believe we will ever stay in another hotel if we don't have to. We were greeted and given a booklet of information that answered every question we may have had. I couln't imagine a better place to have stayed with my husband on our last little get away before our precious baby arrives. Thank you for sharing your home- it was perfect!

Modern luxurious stay

What a worthwhile stay! My husband and I have booked reservations at four homes and this is by far our favorite. We only wish now that we could have booked this modern, luxurious studio for our entire trip. Don't hesitate to book, there's a reason why availability is slim! Marian was a responsive host and easy to contact via email and text from the get go. While we did not personally meet her, she left very thorough instructions and recommendations in her absence. We appreciated all the amenities provided and will gladly highly recommend this rental to our friends and family. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Caveat Emptor

Pros: Clean. Great view. Nice area. Has internet and Roku for TV. Cons: Much smaller than it appears in the pictures. Basically this property is a small room in a walkout basement. The floor and exterior wall is bare concrete. The bed is not very supportive and does not have a box spring. It's a mattress on a low to the ground frame with only slats for support. Lacks a light over the sink in the bathroom. No stove yet they bill the property as an apartment. Parking can be an issue. We had a problem with the electric power going out. Turned out it was a circuit breaker that was being tripped from somewhere else in the main house. Although the breaker was eventually reset on two different occasions we were without power while trying to get showered and ready for well over an hour and a half. The owner had a rather lackadaisical attitude towards getting the issue corrected. At one point we inquired as to whether the problem was going to be corrected so the breaker wouldn't trip again and the owner's reply to us what that we could leave and go elsewhere and she would refund us for the unused days of our stay. Really? Nothing for our inconvenience or apology for the problems. We ended up not leaving and had no further issues with the power but we were rather offended by the owners lack of concern for a problem that clearly the responsibility for correcting belonged to them. Then to tell us we could leave and not offer to help with other accommodations for us??? Our opinion is that they like collecting the money for people to stay there but they don't want to deal with the responsibilities of being an inn keeper nor do they care about customer satisfaction. Buyer beware. Based on our experience with the owner we would not return to this property.

Cozy Seattle Hideaway

We had a lovely time at the Alki Beach studio. It was a perfect place to lay our head, and it was a great location very close to Alki beach and other areas of interest close by. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe as well. I would never have guessed that Seattle had parts that felt like a beach haven, but I'm so glad we stumbled upon it!

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

The property was just minimal

I would no recommend this property for anyone over the age of 50 and certainly for not longer than 2 nights. There was no closet, no real kitchen and the stairs going up although steep had dirt in-between and not able to roll a suitcase. The blinds were broken and there was so much of their own stuff there was no place to put anything. The patio consisted of 2 hard chairs and a small metal rusted table. Parking was crazy and on a steep hill to unpack and load. All in all I would never stay here again for the money considering the house I stayed in last year.

Serenity on Alki

This property is more than I could've ever DREAMED! This apartment had stellar views, privacy, serenity that could only be captured in this exact spot! Everything was extremely clean and orderly! The amenities exceeded my expectations and allowed it to feel like home! I want to stay here every single time I come to visit! I could come and go as I pleased and all of the personal touches made this stay so special! Also, MJ was so polite and communicative! Thank you for everything! You will never forget your stay with MJ! Now, I will say, the only thing, like others said, parking was a bit of an issue, but that's the area you are staying. Its like this throughout Alki. But really, its COMPLETELY WORTH more physical exertion.

BEAZLEY

There was plenty of parking the place was nice and quiet. You need a box of Kleenex in the room. It was nice to have some kitchen items as we ate some meals in. The only sketchy thing where those stairs up to the place. Really need some kind of a handrail or something they get pretty slick when it's wet.

About the host

Hosted by MJ

Host profile image
My husband and I love to travel and have always stayed at short term rentals when we vacationed, so we know what to consider in making our guests feel comfortable. Our goal when traveling was to "live like a local"--shop at the local markets, walk to nearby cafes, restaurants, catch a local live show, and enjoy the nature at each destination we visited.

When we built our dream home, we immediately knew we had to allocate a space that would become a future Beach escape for others to enjoy. We find ourselves enjoying every minute of hosting & one of our favorite aspects of being a host is the ability to meet colorful people from all corners of the world, helping them get acquainted with our community. It's because of our past travels through AIRBNB that piqued our love for hosting and sharing the local living of West Seattle & Alki-- we can't wait to welcome you to our little Beach oasis!

In February of 2016, we took a year off work to travel the world, using Paris as our home base and hub to venture off to other parts of Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. We returned home to Alki in February of 2017, and welcomed our daughter that same year. Our second daughter joined our hosting home in 2020, just before the pandemic happened! So we're now on another adventure- hoping between home here in West Seattle and other parts of the world (as Covid will allow). You may occasionally hear pitter patter of toddler feet upstairs but it's rare for our kids to be on the floor above the studio unit. All our guests' say the studio unit is very quiet and never hear our kids..but we still want to throw that out there just in case...cause, well...kids are kids :)

We will be available to you in any manner you please, so just let us know! I like to give our guests the privacy they deserve, but again love meeting our guests...and would love to meet you if your schedule allows a quick drop in from me, Marian!

Why they chose this property

Our home was custom built to maximize on the views and location of Alki. We took careful consideration of what makes a space functional with limited space.

Home was also featured in the July 2015 issue of The Seattle Times and we're proud of this milestone with our architect and team who made this home/vacation rental possible.

What makes this property unique

Studio has sweeping views of the Puget Sound, Olympic mountains and Islands. We are steps away from the beach, restaurants & transportation yet we're situated in such a tranquil area, you'd never guess we were so close to the beach! Avoid all the Summer beach congestion by simply walking to the beach.
