Cozy and so comfy

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!

Cute West Seattle Home

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.

Charming quiet cottage

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 spot in West Seattle

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.

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.

Summer in West Seattle

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.
