There was one low review for the property so I contacted the host to check out some things before. The response was fast, the place was clean and just steps from the beach! It accommodate our group of 6 people really well! Only suggestion would be that this would be difficult for someone to access in a wheelchair or unable to walk up and down steps as there are a lot of them. But my 86 year old dad was up to the stairs and did fine! We will definitely stay here again! ##### Stacey R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grace G. 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved our stay. The house was spacious and in a great location. There were a lot of restaurants near by, along with the beach. It was easy to get to downtown Seattle but nice to be away from downtown. Our host was very responsive. ##### Grace G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corrinne Y. 20 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Top floor bedroom has a great beach view and a standing desk. Walking distance to the beach and Alki restaurants. Second floor has a deep soak tub. The basement and the second floor bedrooms stay cold and cool and in the hottest summer days. Host is active and responsive with messages. I had a great stay. ##### Corrinne Y. Stayed 21 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Eddie M. 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy The pictures on the listing and the listing are completely inaccurate one TV in the whole house. The only redeeming quality was the kitchen area bedrooms are small bathrooms are 1930 vintage tiles filled with mold bathroom towel smelled of mold. Beds were not made. We have to wash our towels And bedroom sheets, cause they had an awful smell to them. Then to make matters more interesting we were not able to access the house because the electronic lock stopped working. This hose should add accurate pictures to show just how decrepit and dated the property is. The only good thing about the property was how close it was to the beach area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4e8bfe69-dd42-4142-892a-ff8658808df6-1759096905807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0bed9ead-c873-4e22-a77a-385b77fe8680-1759096905949.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6d0c4289-0023-4b4c-af9f-ecf4a19b749d-1759096905833.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09f45461-fdd6-44d3-8fbe-21287cbc1445-1759096905748.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Eddie M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen Sweeney 6 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointed It took two hours for us to enter the property as there was a failure with the locking system and the code to open the door. We finally got in using a key we got from a lock box. There is a major ant infestation on the front deck. There are also ants in the kitchen. We did not have access to paper products so we had to provide our own including toilet paper. They have several large tvs you have to provide your own streaming information in order to watch them. The wifi did not work at all the entire time we were there. I would not stay at this property again as they advertise that there are certain features and they dont work. ##### Karen Sweeney Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels with Pool in Swiss Alps](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swiss-Alps-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d553248630201290476-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Midtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Midtown-New-York-Hotels.s50-n6203489-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Spark by Hilton Seattle Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-Spark-By-Hilton-Seattle-Airport.h28275.Hotel-Information) > > [The Paramount Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-The-Paramount-Hotel.h58703.Hotel-Information) > > [The Moore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-The-Moore-Hotel.h1585072.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Redmond Seattle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Redmond-Town-Center.h45572384.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunas Douradas Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almancil-Hotels-Dunas-Douradas-Beach-Club.h13377592.Hotel-Information) > > [diamondresorts Hotels in Lancaster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Diamond-Resorts.0-0-d4673--bDiamondResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-Hilton-Seattle.h7910.Hotel-Information) > > [Staypineapple, Hotel FIVE, Downtown Seattle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-Staypineapple.h11969.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasa The Oxford Seattle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seattle-Hotels-Kasa-The-Oxford-Seattle.h57698380.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leavenworth-Hotels-Bavarian-Lodge.h10071694.Hotel-Information) > > [Wedding Hotels in Santorini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Wedding-Hotel.0-0-d177970-tWeddingHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Leonardo Kolymbia Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Leonardo-Kolymbia-Resort-All-Inclusive.h3625684.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Hulhulé (MLE) to Bang Phli (BKK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mle/bkk/male-to-bangkok) > > [British Airways Hounslow (LHR) to Oklahoma City (OKC) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-heathrow-to-will-rogers-world/ba/lhr/okc) > > [Helvetic Airways](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Helvetic-Airways-Flights.c2L.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Bangor (BGR) to Corballis (DUB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bgr/dub/bangor-to-dublin) > > [Flights from Barry (CWL) to Detroit (DTW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cwl/dtw/cardiff-to-detroit) > > [Flights from Bishop's Stortford (STN) to Gibraltar (GIB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/stn/gib/london-to-gibraltar) > > [Flights from College Park (ATL) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/atl/ord/atlanta-to-chicago) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Abruzzo Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abruzzo.d6048566.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
