We always looked forward to coming back after our long day trips to the surrounding national parks to rest and recharge for our next adventure!

Great cozy and quiet spot in West Seattle.

My wife and I stayed here for a week, and the property was very comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. Really appreciated having everything we needed provided for us by our hosts. We will definitely be returning and staying here if the property is available. Thanks so much!

The Seattle House -Guest House was perfect for our recent 4 night stay in West Seattle. All of the details of the house were very well thought out. It was great to come back to the guest house after a full day of exploring to the comforts of this home. We loved the view from the balcony and took in a gorgeous sunset one night. The shops and restaurants of West Seattle were fun to explore. We loved the water taxi instead of driving and parking in Seattle. Thank you to Shawna for answering all of my questions and giving recommendations. Check in procedures and directions were clear and concise which made arriving at 3:15am less nerve wracking. We all highly recommend staying at The Guest House and would definitely return to West Seattle in the future

Super cute, nice finishes, every thing you could want in a rental! Stair/ladder was very steep which ended up keeping our toddler off of it, which was great. Only room for improvement is the shades are all very thin and there’s no shades on the skylights so the loft stays bright throughout the night due to the street lights. Place is on a very quiet street.

Charming!

My mom and I stayed here for a few nights during our time in Seattle. This was easily the best rental I’ve stayed in. The quality of everything was so far beyond expectations. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need and more (also several different coffee makers/options, which we loved!) The place was close to downtown, as well several shops and restaurants very close by. Would absolutely stay here again!

Best rental I've ever stayed in

This was my favorite rental I've ever stayed in. It's like staying in your own mini boutique luxury hotel. It's small, but has everything you need. Styled so beautiful, the view is lovely, the neighborhood is great. The ladder stairs getting upstairs are steep, so if you have issues walking or getting around this might be challenging. Other than that, I would stay here every time I visit Seattle. Loved it!

Darling Gem in West Seattle

This was such a beautiful little staycation love nest for a romantic weekend getaway. Loved the boho style decor and were delighted with the amenities and thoughtfulness. We arrived to soft music and the place smelled amazing. It was raining the whole weekend so we snuggled up with the plush blankets provided and enjoyed the fireplace. There are very steep stairs to an upper level which we only climbed once to see the rainy view. A younger couple would enjoy that area more haha. A short drive to West Seattle destinations. Not much within walking distance but we did brave the weather to get the best teriyaki a few blocks away (shout out to Grillbird). One of our better VRBO experiences.

Great West Seattle Property

The property is adorable and super clean. The use of space is amazing, our family of three never felt cramped at all. Everything looks to be brand new or very recently added. I had one question for the owner and she answered me right away. We loved the location in West Seattle and could even enjoy a water view from the cute little rooftop deck. We enjoyed ourselves and wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you for sharing your space with us, we will definitely think of you the next time we travel to Seattle!

Beautiful house with gorgeous views!

We weren’t sure what to expect staying in West Seattle but we couldn’t have been happier with our stay! The house was located in a nice quiet neighborhood about a 10 minute drive from Alki beach. We weren’t going to rent a car at first but really glad we did. We were about a 20-25 minute drive from downtown and a 10 minute drive to most restaurants. So the location was great! The house was very comfortable for us a family of 3. Our 11 year old daughter loved staying up in the loft and we were very comfortable in our bedroom downstairs. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was really nice having laundry at the house. Every detail of this house was immaculately put together. It was very clean and beautifully designed. I would definitely stay here again on any future trip to Seattle. Thanks for having us!

This place was the best VRBO I've ever stayed in. Every detail was SPOT ON. Beds are super comfortable. The loft is tricky to climb up, but a kid or springy adult can easily do it. The outdoor areas are perfect, and has great view of sunset colors on the mountains/water. Kitchen is perfectly outfitted, host even had top shelf instant oatmeal, coffee, and cream handy. Bathroom is beautiful, washer & dryer was so appreciated. Plenty of paper products and nice soap. Convenient location w free parking a few minutes outside city central. Loved every single thing.

Cute Quiet Neighborhood

We absolutely loved our stay. The guest house had everything we needed (cozy blankets, cooking supplies, plenty of towels, etc.). The location is awesome. The bus stop is only one block away, the grocery store is nearby, and it's just a short walk to delicious restaurants. Itto's Tapas is amazing! We enjoyed visiting downtown Seattle, but were excited to return to the nice quiet house. Thank you Shawna!

We stayed at the house for about a week and it was amazing. You can see the ocean and it's close to lots of activities. The hosts were super nice and answered every question we thought of. If we come back to Seattle, this will be the first pick!

I would highly recommend staying at the Seattle House. The interior of the house was straight out of AD. The esthetics were thoughtfully curated by every detail put into the design and the decor; beautiful and cozy. It was very clean and had everything you could need for a stay. The location was perfect, close to downtown and other neighborhoods, yes there was the usual traffic but it always seemed to be going the other direction. It was actually nice to be able to escape to West Seattle from the mayhem of downtown. The mountain and ocean view were accompanied by a gorgeous sunset which you could view from the rooftop deck. Will definitely stay here again. Shawna was timely in her responsive the one time I needed to reach out to her.

A Cozy, Stylish Gem with Thoughtful Extras!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming little home! It felt like a perfect blend of tiny home living with all the amenities and thoughtful touches you could ask for. From the heated tile floors in the bathroom to the well-stocked pantry, everything was designed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, adding to the relaxing vibe of the trip. Inside, the decor was simple yet stylish, giving the whole space a clean and welcoming feel.
