About this property

Quiet 1200 Sq Ft View Apartment, Near Beach

'Alki-Soundview' is located just 25 min. (15 miles) from SeaTac Int'l Airport and 20 min. (7 miles by car) from downtown Seattle. [The high-rise West Seattle Bridge reopened on September 18, 2022 after a 2 1/2 year closure. ] Guests will enjoy the wonderful views from your apartment of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mtns, and looking over Alki Beach/Point from this well-appointed, garden level apartment (1200 sq feet) on Genesee Hill in West Seattle.

This private apartment has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, one bathroom with a large tile shower (no tub). The apartment can accommodate five people. Additional, sleeping beds are fold out beds. We charge $15 per person per night for guests after the first two.

The large, fully furnished kitchen includes all major appliances and a coffeemaker and toaster. Parking is available on the dead-end street beside the apartment. We list exclusively on VRBO/Homeaway and affiliates. If you find this listing on Craigslist, it is fraudulent.

Relax outside in your private covered entrance area with your favorite beverage and enjoy the view over Alki Beach/Point, Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and Islands.

'Alki-Soundview' is a perfect home- base with which to explore the Greater Seattle area. Walk down the hill to Alki Beach (.7 mi.) for picnicking, biking, tennis, beach volleyball and walking or jogging several miles of beach walk, exploring and enjoying water-oriented activities.

Good public bus transport, walk-on Water taxi to downtown, and WA State Ferries to Vashon Island and Kitsap Peninsula, affords you the opportunity to access all the entertainment, and sights of interest of the region. Also consider using Uber or Lyft which are readily available plus several car or bike sharing services. There are lots of places to see: Seattle Center (Space Needle, Science Center, Museum of Pop Culture), Pike Place Market, the Central Waterfront, Pioneer Square, Seattle Downtown, Capitol Hill, University of Washington, Boeing Tours, Museum of Flight, a fine assortment of museums and Pro Sports and Performing Arts.

A note about Seattle taxes: we are disappointed to report that starting in 2019 the City has imposed a 15.7% tax vacation rentals less than 30 days long. If you are planning a long visit, you might save a lot by staying 30 days or more.

Come visit and enjoy all that we have to offer in the Northwest.

This home was the perfect stay for our trip in Seattle! It was just the right amount of distance from the city with a quick commute in, but far enough to relax from the hustle and bustle. The view was absolutely gorgeous.

This place is amazing. The views are phenomenal. The house is immaculate. Everything we needed was there. We loved the location. It is close to Seattle but far enough away to feel relaxed. The drive to everything we wanted to do was easy. We didn't try the water taxi because the times didn't work but that was okay. We did walk to the beach and found a nice nature reserve park to walk though on the way back. The house sits on a steep hill so we did drive down a few times instead of making the climb back up.Check in was easy and the host accommodated our flight times, which was super nice. Parking was easy also and we could see the car from the windows which I liked.Also within a short drive were restaurants, a winery, breweries and a few cute shops.This was a perfect stay!

Lovely stay!

Our stay in West Seattle was lovely. The apartment was in a great location and our first morning there we took a walk to the beach. The apt. was clean, quiet, and serene. The hosts had many extra amenities for their guests which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again. Five stars for certain!!

Gorgeous place and view. Gracious hosts like the owners make the place even more desirable. We spent several evenings sitting in the front porch area, basking in the evening sun. Not very hot all (we are Floridians).Definitely need a car and enhanced driving skills. Lots of hills and narrow streets with parked cars to contend with. A couple of miles from the apartment, all around really. That is Seattle.

The property has a great location and nice views. Directions from owner were helpful and clear. The apartment was a perfect size for a couple.The amenities were just ok. The apartment is dated and seemed somewhat dingy. We found a stain on one of the living room pillows that seemed to be some sort of body fluid, we found a couple if pieces of candy on the bedroom floor when we arrived, the extra blankets were wool, stiff and had a smell. The pillows were very worn and not comfortable. The two cooking knives were very dull, unable to use for cutting food.Additionally, the owner came to meet us and made a negative comment about the governor of the state we are from. I was taken aback at the inappropriateness of the comment and assumption she made about how her comment would be received. I have never had a rental property owner make any political statement to me and I have never discussed politics with a property owner in the course of renting a vacation property. It was in bad taste and not appropriate. We would not rent this property in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn and John

West Seattle has been our home for over 35 years. We bought this house in 2005 and spent several years doing a 'down to the studs' remodel which added a self-contained apartment on the garden level for family, friends and guests. We live upstairs.

We enjoy travel, meeting travelers and sharing our love for this area. Now that we are empty-nesters, we are ready to offer the apartment and to extend Northwest hospitality to our visitors.

Why they chose this property

West Seattle has a remarkable mix of resources and activities. It is like living in a small beach town yet Seattle's downtown is just 45 minutes away. This should improve when the West Seattle Bridge reopens in mid-2022.

What makes this property unique

This is a large, private, tastefully furnished and decorated view apartment in a great location. We are a 10-12 minute walk from the action at Alki Beach. In the peak summer months it's great to be part of the action, but it's also important to be able to get away from it. We are a few blocks from two different bus lines and a free shuttle to the Water Taxi that travels across Elliott Bay to downtown Seattle. Whether you travel downtown by bus, water or car (about 15 minutes), there is plenty to do once you get there.
