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 20-30 min. (7 miles by car) from downtown Seattle. Guests will enjoy the wonderful views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains from your 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 microwave, 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, pickleball, 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, afford 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 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 Park and the sights there, 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.
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!!
Extremely clean, very well furnished and decorated, every appliance, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, I mean every thing. Like being at home away from home. And the views, especially at sunset are just spectacular. We will definitely stay here when ever we come to Seattle again.
Wonderful locatuon and friendly hosts willing to help out when needed.
Would recommend a stay if looking for a great view, in a wonderful neighborhood.
Second time staying here . It is in a beautiful quiet neighbor and the property is extremely comfortable. We had wonderful communication with the owners and look forward to staying here again!
This place was awesome. Super clean, beautiful views of the mountains and sea. The neighborhood was like a town out of a movie. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
What a beautiful apartment - spotless and very homey with lots of personal decorating touches. The kitchen was very well equipped and the bed was comfy. The location was perfect for our visit and THE VIEW was amazing!! Checkin was easy and the host helped us bring in suitcases which was very nice. Highly recommend staying here and we look forward to returning again!
This is our second stay at the lovely apartment, and we hope to return again! The location is fantastic, walkable to the shoreline and with gorgeous water views! It's so nicely furnished and decorated, quiet, comfortable bed and spacious. Well-equipped kitchen and nice bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay!
We so enjoyed our stay here! The views were beautiful, the sunsets were spectacular, and John and Katherine were wonderful hosts. Their lovely apartment was so perfect for my husband and I. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our morning walks to the beach. I would highly recommend.
Exactly as advertised - beautiful, spacious and fully equiped in a very nice neig hborhood with an amazing view of Puget Sound. It is convenient to Alki and West Seattle shops and restaurants - even to downtown Seattle. John and Kathryn are very friendly and accomodating.
This is a very nice place. One minor issue came up and the owner respond right away and resolved the issue. Unit is well equipped. Easy check in & check out. Great water view from both living room and kitchen. Would defiantly stay there again.
I enjoyed my stay! It was very lovely private and quiet with everything needed. Thank-You!
I stayed for the month of September to see my son and celebrate my birthday. I love Alki Seattle it’s so beautiful.
I loved waking up looking out at the beautiful view,watching the ferry’s boats. I loved the fall colors and wonderful places to eat and I enjoyed going to 6 concerts while there. I had so much fun spending time with my son. Thank-You:)
Lovely apartment, stunning view, and a great stay.
The apartment was perfect for us. We had no difficulty checking in and were very pleased by how cosy and welcoming it is. Everything is set-up for the ultimate comfort of the guest and the view is stunningly beautiful! There are all the essential kitchen and bathroom amenities and the bed was very comfortable. It was perfect for our visit to see our family.
In addition we are so grateful to the hosts who kindly accommodated a difficult situation for us so graciously. Thank you again John & Kathryn. You are premier and "star" hosts. We hope that we can visit again soon.
Note: If you are touring the area, I would highly recommend having the use of a car when staying here.
It was the best decision to stay in this property during my stay in Seattle for around 2 months. It only take less than 20 mins by car to Seattle downtown. The neighboring area are full of friendly people and beautiful sight to be hold.
The owners are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend anyone looking for place to rent in Seattle to consider this place.
PS. I strongly recommend you have your own transportation method.
Great West Seattle quiet neighborhood. Property just as described. Comfortable one-bedroom with a great bed and bathroom shower. Amazing views of Puget Sound and all the boat traffic. Binoculars would come in handy while sitting outside on the bench. Kitchen has everything. There are some steps to walk up to the door, so be aware of that. Property is on a steep hill. Felt very secure in the neighborhood. Truly, one of our best vrbo experiences. Hope to stay again when we next visit our family.
This is the second time we were able to stay at this home. First time was several years ago. It was even more delightful for the second visit. The owners have kept the space in immaculate condition. Every thing you need is there from the start. And they were quick to respond with help and questions when it was needed. The view from the space is stunning, and of course is different every day, and time of day. We were able to get some work done while there, as well. The location was perfect to get to the beach or the main junction. Definitely a keeper spot for our visits to family in West Seattle.
West Seattle destination offers special experience
First, all the communication with Kathryn and John was excellent: before the booking was made; after the booking was made and before our arrival; and after we arrived. In addition to any questions that arose, the apartment had written information - in a binder and strategically positioned notes - that addressed our questions as they arose. This is one of the most intelligently and logically run VRBOs that we've encountered.
As for the location, we couldn't have asked for more. We enjoyed the walk along Alki Beach, in one direction, and then a walk along Beach Drive, in the opposite direction, that took us to Lincoln Park. Believe it or not, there are secluded/rustic park hiking opportunities in this city within a city: check out nearby Schmitz Preserve and a little farther away is Camp Long.
Getting back to the airport was so easy via a ride share service early on the weekday morning. Otherwise, we used public bus transportation to get to all parts of Seattle and beyond at all hours. We even tried the water taxi - great fun.
As vegans, we especially enjoyed grocery shopping at Metropolitan Market in West Seattle. We tried vegan options at the following locations: Cactus, A La Mode, Box Bar, and Luna Park Cafe - all in West Seattle
Thank you to Kathryn and John for an excellent experience.
