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.

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.

Maximum of 2 guests only. No pets including service animals due to pet dander allergies our daughter has.

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