Cute West Seattle Home
I don't want to lave a review because I want to keep this property a secret. I loved this house, It was so cute. The neighborhood is quiet. The house location is easy to get to from the highway. We were not far from shopping, Trader Joes, and Alki Beach. I would stay here again.

Charming quiet cottage
This is a lovely small cottage with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The neighborhood was very quiet. Having a driveway to park the car is very helpful on the tight West Seattle streets. A very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable living room and dining room. King bed was great. 2 A/C units would have been very useful in the hotter days. Luckily we were able to get by with just the fans. Overall, very nice!

Great gem for a Seattle trip
This awesome cottage in West Seattle was a wonderful find. We (my husband, son and myself) traveled for a combined work and personal trip to the greater Seattle area, and we wanted something more comfortable than a hotel room for our stay. Wow! Lori provided a beautiful, well appointed cottage that had many, many accoutrements. Not only was the property impeccably clean, it was beautifully and artfully decorated. While we did not do much cooking, I greatly appreciated the well stocked kitchen supplies and essentials like spices, kitchen towels and cleaning supplies. Bonus items were the beautiful back patio area and hot tub! in addition to having a wonderful place to stay, we had the chance to explore West Seattle and Alki Beach. I am pretty sure that having eaten at many great restaurants (Lori provides a nice list of places), visited fun shops, walked through the neighborhoods and ridden the water taxi to Seattle that we will never stay anywhere else again when visiting Seattle. Staying at a comfortable, beautiful and clean home like Lori's is what makes VRBO such an attractive option for travel. Thank you, Lori!

Great spot in West Seattle
Had a great visit in West Seattle and this house was a perfect set up for us (3 adults). Well maintained and appointed. Plenty of extras (hot tub, gas fire pit) private getaway on a quiet residential street. Easy to walk to restaurants and grocery stores. Water taxi to downtown Seattle was a bit of a hoof but very doable.

This was a beautiful, comfortable home! We appreciated how much thought and creativity was put into the space- and it is in a perfect location - easy to walk or a short drive to stores, Alki beach or the ferry. Lori was very easy to communicate with. Thank you.

West Seattle
My husband and 2 teenage sons stayed at this lovely home in West Seattle. The location was perfect and great for walking, biking and driving. The house had everything we needed- clean, comfortable and we loved the backyard. We sat out back a few evenings with the fire pit while our son used the hot tub- very relaxing and comfortable. The location is great- close to California Street and Alki Beach. We spent a lot of time at Alki Beach walking and the kids rented scooters. Our kids used the 2/4 bikes the host provided and really enjoyed having that option. The drive to Seattle was challenging some mornings, but nothing we aren't used to living in Atlanta. Perfect weather all but 1 day and that wasn't bad either. Took a great day trip to Astoria, Seaside and Canaan Beach in OR and to Mount Rainier. The owner was fantastic- she let us check in early and was very responsive whenever we had a question. We would go back and stay at the same house again.
