“This place is fantastic! So quiet, clean and supplied with all you would need. The views are gorgeous, Alki Beach is literally right there. The BED. Can we talk about the BED for a moment!? I basically fell into the softness and comfort and didn't want to ever get up!”
Evan · Bremerton, Washington · September 2026
“The property is immaculately maintained, beautifully designed, and in an unbeatable location just steps from the beach. I accidentally left some personal belongings behind, and they went out of their way to find them and arrange shipping. Incredible hospitality from start to finish!”
Yang · New York, New York · October 2026
“I had a hard time tearing my eyes away from the views of the sound. The bed was very comfortable. Lots of kitchen stuff, toiletries, beach gear. Everything was very well thought out.”
Donna · Louisville, Colorado · September 2026
“What a truly amazing hidden gem along Alki beach! The plants have grown beautifully over the walkway so you feel like you're walking through a tunnel of beautiful plants. The home was spotless. Highly recommend!”
Issa · Seattle, Washington · August 2026
“The location and home are beautiful, with incredible views of the Sound from the windows. There are fruit trees throughout the property, and we also had some great opportunities to see local wildlife. We'd absolutely stay here again!”

“Travis's home is very welcoming and peaceful, we felt right at home. The perfect location for a peaceful getaway while also being a short walk to the water taxi for some fun activities downtown.”

“This may be the best one my partner and I have stayed at. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Record player, great movies on DVD, and board games. Watching sunrise and sunset from the bedroom was very nice.”
Isabella · Albany, Oregon · January 2026
“An ideal spot for a visit to Seattle. Quiet-in-the-city with easy access to Alki and the rest of West Seattle. Getting downtown is fun and easy on the Water Taxi. The view of Puget Sound and fresh sea air made it even more special.”
Jim · Seattle, Washington · July 2026
“The sunset views are not to be missed. I felt transported to a quieter time, nostalgic with very modern, clean and up to date amenities. Super close to everything: the beach, great hikes and good food.”
Anna · Milwaukee, Wisconsin · June 2026
“The location is unbeatable. Steps from the beach with gorgeous water views that we didn't want to leave. If you're looking for a relaxing Pacific Northwest escape with a view, look no further.”
Merissa · Broomfield, Colorado · March 2026
“It's tucked away to feel secluded if you want, yet so close to walk to everything. The views were incredible, the apartment was lovely, the bed was soo comfy. Would easily stay here again!”
Allyson · Phoenix, Arizona · June 2026
“Tons of thoughtful details like books, records, popcorn and coffee. We even had an otter visit us right outside the door! A short beautiful walk to the main beach and restaurants with views of the ferry boats.”
Leilani · Washington · April 2026
“Perfectly located walking distance from Alki beach with its abundant dining options. It feels like the perfect place to get away for a digital fast.”
