Tucked in the hills of the Shoreline community sits this beautiful two-level home. Enjoy two living spaces and an ultra-private fenced backyard and patio surrounded by forested greenery. Sliding glass doors in the dining room open to the ultra-private patio and fenced backyard. Sizzle supper on the grill and dine alfresco at the table. This quiet wooded neighborhood is nine miles north of downtown Seattle, with nearby parks, trails, restaurants, and grocery stores. The Shoreline area is located just north of downtown Seattle and has over 330 acres of parks and recreation space. Cruise less than three miles to Carkeek Park and explore abundant hiking trails offering stunning views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Your home is less than a mile from the Interurban Trail, with nearly 12 miles of paved surface. Enjoy quick access to a plethora of eclectic eateries and cafes.

Sprawl out on a comfy sofa and two armchairs and enjoy a movie on the 55" TV. Unwind downstairs in the bonus living area equipped with a futon, a set of chairs, an electric fireplace, an art table, and a 42" TV. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances shine in the well-equipped kitchen. Extras include a Keurig coffee maker, blender, and toaster. Sip coffee at the four-seat table in the kitchen. When it's time to eat, gather for home-cooked meals at the dining room table set for four.

The bathrooms are each stocked with a complimentary starter supply of toiletries. Sleep soundly in the primary bedroom, complete with a 32" TV and en suite bathroom with a double vanity. Amenities include a washer/dryer, complimentary WiFi, and books.

Great location
Very nice house in convenient location. A few quirks, a few lamps missing light bulbs and the TV kept turning itself on even though turned it off multiple times (finally I just muted and ignored it). Clean and well stocked. Lots of steps, which is a bit challenging for elderly (we had an 86 year old in our party).

Location was key for us and we liked the downstairs for our grandchildren to play. TV service was also appreciated. Cleanliness was an issue though. We had to clean the place (especially vacuum) before we felt comfortable and we’re compensated for that by Vacasa.

Shoreline WA stay
Property was very good fit for our group. Lots of room, nicely furnished. Had a very small issue with TV remote (no batteries) that was resolved very quickly by management. A couple of suggestions: - Provide dish towels in kitchen. Needed to wash some things daily (e.g. coffee pot) instead of using dishwasher - Add dresser or some type of shelves in bedrooms that did not have them. Overall, very pleasant stay.

Great stay would definitely come back
The house is very spacious and well appointed. Lots of kitchen supplies and space. Everything is very updated and the home was super clean. Just a few small details kept us from giving a 5, some of the lights didn’t work, a couple of the outlets in the bedrooms weren’t working, the remote batteries were dead, just little things that didn’t take away from the overall experience. The location was very accessible and close enough to grocery stores and a gas station and a pretty short drive to the city. Management was super interactive and the mobile app is a great touch. We would stay there again for sure!

Good location; Well equipped house
We stayed there for 2 months--so here you go.... The Good: Close to the best grocery store in Seattle--Central Market; lots of room; well stocked kitchen; attached garage was wonderful for rainy days; 3 bathrooms was awesome; local TurnKey staff was very responsive; enclosed back yard for dog was super. The Bad: Seemed like lots of lightbulbs were out or burned out while we were there (hard to read a book at times); there was no usable vacuum cleaner for us to use (the one they had just pushed the dirt around); lots of steps so if you have knee issues now, they will be worse after staying here.

Beautiful Home, Solid Neighborhood
This home is truly unique, with a peaceful and comfortable layout/design. My husband and I stayed with our three kids and our dog. There was plenty of room for all of us. The home lives up to its "Zen" description. We don't know Seattle well (just passing through) but the area felt safe. It's right across from a shopping complex with a high-end market. Potential guests should know this home does not have central AC, so if you are booking in a heatwave (as we did) be prepared to use the three external AC units that can be placed in window openings. Also, the backyard fencing isn't complete and dogs can escape both under the house and through a break in the fence that wasn't obvious to us although we had inspected. Our 70-pound dog escaped through a missing wooden slat in the fencing and, as the house is right by a major roadway, we were absolutely terrified. The current photo of the back deck (main photo) does not reflect the deck's condition as of our stay. We had some other issues we shared with management and I was told they will be addressed. Overall, I would have given 5-stars were it not for the issues I mentioned in this review. It is such a beautiful home and for travelers with dogs would be a real winner if the security of the backyard is resolved.

Very nice home with multiple maintenance issues
This was a nice home in a very convenient location across the street from a huge grocery market. It was clean and spacious and the Wi-Fi worked. It has the potential to be a 5 star property if the multiple maintenance issues are addressed. These were: 1) The main living area TV was not installed, it was in a box on the floor at arrival, with wires protruding from wall. I called about this and was ultimately refunded $100 as it wasn’t addressed during my stay. 2) 2 of the electric blinds upstairs were sitting on the floor, the third was up and closed but not working 3) the downstairs bathroom faucet is loose, needs to be caulked into the sink 4) the downstairs patio door doesn’t latch properly 5) the back deck badly needs painting. In addition, when we arrived it appeared the thermostat wasn’t working, I eventually figured out the furnace in the garage had been turned off and I had to flip circuit breakers to turn it on (there were no instructions about this). Never did figure out how to turn on the front porch light or use the downstairs electric fireplace (need instructions).

Clean house but broken dishwasher
This house was clean when we checked in. The instructions from Turn Key were very accurate. We loved the backyard and the deck where we could spend time during the afternoons. We had a couple of issues to deal with: (1) The description claimed that the dishwasher was operational. However, we found that it was broken and could not be used. Although they refunded back us an amount of $180, it was not pleasing for us to wash dishes on a vacation (especially with kids). When we go on vacation, the last thing we want to do is to wash dishes. The refund amount was not negotiated and was abrupt. Point to note, the property maintenance person we spoke to was very nice and sounded empathetic. (2) Late check-out: The check-out time of 10 am is a nightmare with kids. We had requested a late checkout and it was denied instantly (although the instructions on the Samsung tablet said we could request for late checkout). (3) Supplies were less in the house. Limited toilet paper rolls, limited dishes, and cups (increased our dishwashing chore)

Home is well decorated and is fully upgraded. Nice kitchen and nice rooms. Nice showers. Can use some cleaning of the walls to keep the home looking nice. Easy access to food and stores. The exterior rooms tend to hear a lot of street noise. Great place to stay with family.
