About this property

Amazing and serene view house, art deco charmer, fully restored

Casa Florence is a beautiful 1936 house located on a serene bluff with expansive westward ocean and island views.

Named after Ms. Florence, who lived in the house over 60 year, and at 102 years old decided to move into a smaller place.

The house sits far back from the street on a view bluff. There is ample street parking. 20 wide and gradual stairs through the park-like front yard bring you to this amazing setting.

The main floor has a large living room with enormous picture windows to the view. A beautiful dining room also allows access to the 150 sq ft entertaining deck. The fully appointed kitchen has all the dishes and equipment necessary to cook the meal of your dreams, or to spread out a take-out feast.

The grand staircase leads up the large master bedroom with seating area and view windows. The 2nd bedroom is also upstairs, its flexible configuration has two twin beds which convert to full sized beds. This is also a view bedroom. The spa-like bathroom is also upstairs. It includes a large deep vintage tub for soaking and a separate shower.

The house is a westward facing bluff. Set far back from the street, with city forest land below it, the location is serene. Casa Florence offers stunning 180 degree ocean views of the Puget Sound and its silently gliding ferry boats and ship traffic, islands across the water and the Olympic Mountains.

And the sunsets! The house faces west and golden sunlight fills the house every afternoon and evening. Each day has its own special sunset.

Privacy - nearly all windows face the view, giving guests excellent privacy and opportunity to enjoy the view at the same time.

Sorry, no dogs. No emotional support animals either. Only service animals that have been extensively trained to perform specific tasks.

We enjoyed our stay here. Appreciated it more every day. Would love to stay here again.Things I wish were better:-Master bedroom could have a king size bed.-There should be an antenna on the television. I would have loved have had a relaxing Sunday in the house watching a football and enjoying the property.Highly recommended.

Fun little house for our girls weekend! It had everything we needed and was in a great location for visiting downtown and Mt. Rainier. Plus, the view from the back of the house is beautiful to wake up to or watch the sunset.

Close Enough - But Quiet Enough

great little location in West Seattle. Within striking distance of downtown Seattle (via water taxi) and within walking distance of West Seattle eateries, etc, but far enough away to avoid all the noise of night life. Recommend it highly and will stay here again when in the area.

Good stay, accurate listing

We've stayed in many older homes and this was one of the better ones as it was well heated. The trampoline was a nice touch and the kids loved that. I did think the home was closer to the ocean (15-20min walk), so clarifying that would be nice, but otherwise a good stay.

Wonderful house, hosts, and location

We stayed for a long weekend with our two elementary age kids, and it was wonderful. Spent the days out exploring, and came home in the evening to a calm, comfortable house with a killer view. The hosts were very accommodating when we needed help after checking out, and the house had everything we could have needed. The area is wonderful and easily accessible.

Girlfriends weekend getaway

Had such an amazing time. The house is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood and gorgeous view of the bay. We spent 90% of our time on the deck. We even got to see the Northern Lights. I would come back in a heartbeat. One of my best experiences yet.

Memorial Day 2023

We truly enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend. The sunset and views were exactly as advertised. Short walk to many places to eat and incredible views across the water of Seattle. Communication with the owner was perfect and information on commonly asked questions was on display throughout. It was easy to feel at home.

Family Vacation

This rental is highly recommended. Wife and daughter loved the area's relaxed atmosphere. Property owner was very courteous and communicated well. The internet and TV services were exceptional. You have to try some of the area restaurants, and the Frensh Bakery. Enjoyed the view in the evening for 9 days. Sunset is awesome.

Nice Neighborhood, Accurate Listing

There's not much to say about this listing that has already not been said. Super Clean, Communication is friendly and immediate. The neighborhood is nice, lots of trees, plants everywhere, We're from Texas and one thing we liked no mosquitoes. The drive into Seattle from West Seattle is easy. Lots of coffee shops and grocery stores very close. Temperatures were starting to get warm in June, but nights were cool. We used the house as our home base while visiting the city, Mount Rainer, Olympic National Park, Picks Place, and more. All appliances were in good working order and the kitchen had everything you'd need. Street parking is available just up the steps as pictured on the listing. A few things to consider... If you need a washer and dryer on site there is not one here and it is listed appropriately. The other is there is only one bathroom. We were a group of 3 and it was never a problem. Lastly the steps in the pictures are accurate, if you have mobility issues or need a wheel chair it might be rough. Overall spectacular listing and gracious management. Nights on the deck were perfect. When entering the house there are little notes/stickers everywhere explaining odds an ends of the house. The host has provided a directory, on the table, with local suggestions and travel needs. I cannot say enough about the location and cleanliness of the house.

Great view, parking on street was easy, easy to get to different events, great shopping at Safeway--

The kitchen was well stocked with all cooking Utensils--I could have used 1 more fry pan. Appreciated the use of the laundry--maybe have more bath towels for those of us who stay over a week. The only things that we had problems with was all the stairs & the tv was hard to get to find stations.
