This property fit my family perfectly and was nearby to family we were visiting. Very convenient.
We had a great visit to Seattle. This bungalow is in a great neighborhood, was well furnished, and comfortable. Lori was responsive to my messages and we hope to stay here again when visiting our son and his family.
Our stay at this bungalow was great in so many ways: the cottage itself was cozy and comfortable, appointed and decorated more like a real home, not a temporary one; the neighborhood was quiet, but within easy walking distance of shops, grocery stores and restaurants (check out Circa, it’s great!); and Lori was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We’re already looking forward to a return visit!
I don't want to lave a review because I want to keep this property a secret. I loved this house, It was so cute. The neighborhood is quiet. The house location is easy to get to from the highway. We were not far from shopping, Trader Joes, and Alki Beach. I would stay here again.
This is a lovely small cottage with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The neighborhood was very quiet. Having a driveway to park the car is very helpful on the tight West Seattle streets. A very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable living room and dining room. King bed was great. 2 A/C units would have been very useful in the hotter days. Luckily we were able to get by with just the fans. Overall, very nice!
Great location in West Seattle. The house was very clean, comfortable and very nicely decorated. We would have loved to stay longer and would definitely stay again.
This place is so charming, clean, and fun. The hot tub grotto is amazing, private, and so relaxing. We will be staying here again.

Felt right at home
Cutest place ever! And so clean..we loved our stay here from the comfy beds to the delicious fresh herbs growing in the garden to the well equipped kitchen. Everything you could possibly need was there. Even some of our favorite games that we played in the evening.
Very nice property, could tell the host put a lot of thought and care into it. Very accommodating. I would recommend it to anyone. Worked out very well for us.
Lori was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly accommodating!
The home literally had everything you could possibly need to have an enjoyable stay. Private backyard, grill, hot tub, cozy cottage. Kitchen with all the supplies ! And various coffee options for even the snobbiest of Seattle coffee drinkers :). Just perfect !
Had a great visit in West Seattle and this house was a perfect set up for us (3 adults). Well maintained and appointed. Plenty of extras (hot tub, gas fire pit) private getaway on a quiet residential street. Easy to walk to restaurants and grocery stores. Water taxi to downtown Seattle was a bit of a hoof but very doable.

Great house, perfect location
We we're more than pleased when we arrived. The house is great. Well appointed, everything we needed. The house is 15 minutes to downtown. 15 minutes to the airport. Restaurants and store are a short walk away through the park. We will rent again if available on our next visit.

Charming Cottage, Great Location
Wonderful stay! Lori was very responsive and even had a brand new gas grill dropped off to replace one that had broken when I asked about it. Clean, comfortable, plenty of room in the house. Amenities are awesome and we enjoyed the hot tub in the cool mornings. Nice neighborhood for walk any time of day and within walking distance of waterfront, nice restaurants, stores, etc. I have nothing negative to say and highly recommend the property.
We loved this property. Had everything that we could possibly need during our stay. Close to California Ave and fairly easy to get into Seattle during non-rush hours. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was a plus. The back yard area was secluded and very nice for sitting out. The AC was a portable unit, not central, but was mostly comfortable even with temps in 80's. Had a wonderful time.
