About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Lookout, Close to Beach, No cleaning fee. Private and lovely view.

Spacious view apartment that is the ground floor of an occupied private home on quiet dead end street. Watch the ferries go by from the large private view patio with French doors. It's well known that summers in Seattle are incredible but fall and winter storms can be spectacular. With it's heated floors and covered patio The Lookout is the perfect place to cozy up and watch the Northwest seasons change.

It is a short walk from The Lookout to the following:
- Buses to downtown Seattle
(Easy access to stadiums/arena for Mariners, Sounders, Seahawks & Storm)

Even better than expected!

The property was even better than the listing. The view was amazing, the neighborhood was great (just 20 minutes from downtown, but still a great escape from the city), and the hosts were very friendly. I would love to stay here again.

Wonderful view

There's a fair amount of noise when people are upstairs and walking around, but the view and accomodation are wonderful. It's an absolute zen moment after a rough day to sit on the terrace with a glass of wine and look out over Puget Sound and the snowcapped Olympic mountains.

Great view and excellent host in West Seattle

My wife and I stayed for a week in this charming place in West Seattle in order to be close to our grandkids. The place is located in a super quiet and charming neighborhood. Amazing view and plenty of space for the two of us. Hosts are very responsive but experienced no issues at all with the clean and well appointed apartment.

Perfection

Just sit on the patio or, if it’s cold just sit on the sofa with a warm beverage and watch the fantasy world of the puget sound unfold. Your 15 min drive from all the downtown Seattle stuff but it is so so quiet both day and night. We’ll be back. Perfect set up for 2 the kitchen is small but not lacking in one thing. Very well organized space. And the gardens. Take good care of it if you go because I will be back often Thank you

Wonderful Short Stay + No Cleaning Fee!

We got lucky and the night we arrived it was clear skies so we got to see the gorgeous sunset framed by the Olympic Mountains. (Other two nights were the typical wet, Seattle-gray skies, no mountain views.) Bed was good and you get a view while laying in it. Kitchenette great for breakfasts and reheating leftovers. Shower had good water pressure. Really great location. Quiet neighborhood. The place just felt cozy. The garden was in full bloom (spring visit). Heads up: the owners do live upstairs and, yes, you can hear them. If you're looking for a romantic getaway this isn't the place I would recommend. BUT! If you are like us, visiting a short time, perhaps one of you has a conference to attend then this is soooooooo much better than a hotel. Think of it more like a BnB atmosphere where you get to know the owners a bit (they were wonderful). You don't get breakfast served, but you may end up taking home some bay leaves and rosemary. =) The no cleaning fee is what made staying here a huge bonus for us. Normally the cleaning fee kills 2-3 night stays at Vrbos because it ends up as expensive as a hotel or at times even more. We were so happy to have had the chance to enjoy our cozy-comfy Vrbo vs. a boring hotel. I recommend taking the water taxi from Alki beach into Seattle. If you sign up for their app then you get 8000 points which covers a ride one way (by some weird luck or more likely a tech glitch, it covered me both ways.) For more info... The Hiking Bookworms
