The space

A one-bedroom, garden-level farmhouse retreat on the quiet north slope of Alki. The bedroom is built around a luxurious premium king bed with water views from your pillow, and the living room adds a pullout queen sofa. Full kitchen, bath, in-unit laundry, private access with your own door code, and one dedicated parking space on the property.

Steps from Alki Beach

A three minute walk puts your toes in the sand, with restaurants and cafes along the way and the free shuttle to the Water Taxi downtown.

Sweeping Puget Sound views

Watch ferries, sunsets, hummingbirds, and the occasional whale from the living room, the bedroom, and the garden patio.

A cozy farmhouse retreat

Electric fireplace, record player, fully equipped kitchen, fast wifi, and a dedicated workspace, surrounded by fruit trees and gardens.

Awesome place. Beautiful views from every room. Insanely cozy. One of the best stays I've had. Location is unbeatable for the area.

This may be the best one my partner and I have stayed at. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Record player, great movies on DVD, and board games. Watching sunrise and sunset from the bedroom was very nice.

An ideal spot for a visit to Seattle. Quiet-in-the-city with easy access to Alki and the rest of West Seattle. Getting downtown is fun and easy on the Water Taxi. The view of Puget Sound and fresh sea air made it even more special.
