Absolutely stunning home, the hosts were wonderful at providing a place, that was thought out well, they had everything that you may need to accommodate a family. The house is in a great neighborhood, definitely family friendly. We were able to walk down to some restaurants and back to the house. Definitely a convenient location for driving to places like Pike’s or a stadium game. We really enjoyed our stay here.

This was a great experience. The owners were so responsive and accommodating. The house was in a great location and spotless. The kitchen was the largest of any VRBO we have stayed in. The backyard patio was nice. After the first trip to downtown Seattle we had GPS take us using the side roads and not Highway 5. We found this to be easier, less congested and only took us about 15 minutes.

Seward Park Home

The home is big, beautiful, and clean. Very convenient for our Seward Park weekend. We were Mom, Dad, Grandma, and two kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. The home was recently extensively remodeled and has all the modern finishes while still having a traditional vibe.

Stayed here for Seafair. Beautiful house. Great location.

We had some bobbles in logistics with our trip and the host was super accommodating as we had to flip our trip around due to unexpected family issues. The house is quite large and well appointed. The beds are cozy. It is a great place to stay with extended family. Would stay here again for Seafair.

This house was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and the exact comfy cozy retreat we needed after days out sight seeing. The owners were very responsive.

Family visit

My family stayed here while in town for a visit. The age range ran from 13 and 80 years old and honestly it was perfect for everybody. The outdoor space was wonderful for summer dinners outside the living space is very comfortable and very nicely designed and appointed. I highly recommend this place for folks staying in Seattle’s south end and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Exceptional Stay in a Beautiful Home

We were delighted by our stay and had an incredible experience. The house was spotless, well-organized, and beautifully decorated, with all the essentials for a comfortable few days. The neighborhood felt very safe and is conveniently located just five minutes from the synagogue. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are certain we'll return on our next visit. Thank you, Tami, for your exceptional hospitality!

Seattle- Private location, but close to city.

We loved this rental! The owners have done a great job with this renovated property. We had everything we needed and loved the charm. Parking was easy- and just a five mile drive to the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the waterfront. After spending our days in the busy city, it was nice to spend the evenings in the quiet neighborhood.
