Fabulous Staycation
We visit our son and his family every year and this year we thought it would be fun to have a staycation...it was a huge success. The location worked out perfectly for us! I could walk my granddaughter to her school, walk to Lincoln Park (amazing!! fun for all ages!!), or run up to the corner store for needed items (they even had corn starch). The home itself was also great. The bedrooms were comfy, bathrooms great, and with 4 levels, fun for the kids to explore. The g-kids couldn't believe there were TV's in every bedroom, a special treat for them. They also loved the large bathtub in the master bedroom, our 3 yr old wanted to take a bath every night! I like to cook and this kitchen had almost everything I needed, many more gadgets than any VRBO I've stayed at over the past 14 years. Old school kitchen but loaded with the pots, pans, blenders, etc that you might need. Tom and Carolin were great! We were greeted with a refrig with our favorite yogurt and water, and a basket full of snack bars that our gkids loved! For us, it was the perfect family experience!

Fantastic House and Service
We loved this place and highly recommend it! Beautiful home chuck full of character - renovated but in keeping with 100+ year age of the home. We found the owners fantastic to deal with. Tom met us on arrival, gave us practical information and interesting history on the home. We truly appreciate what was set up for guest use on our arrival - from towels and linens to coffee and snacks. Also, we found the location outstanding. Express Bus downtown stops literally right outside the door!

Thanksgiving in West Seattle
We spent a week at this property celebrating thanksgiving with our family. The beach was with in a short walk, restaurant was around the block and a small store for take out or other needs. For a house being this old the heating system was very good and never had a problem with enough hot water for baths/showers. The house itself was very comfortable and in a very nice neighborhood.

A wonderful place to stay.
We had eight guys in town for the football game, and it slept all of us comfortably. Within walking distance, there was an incredible park on the shoreline, and a few great food options. The owner met us as we arrived, and had even baked some fresh cookies for us. While the football game didn’t go our way, the house made our weekend perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic family home!!
We stayed at The Wildwood while attending a wedding in Seattle. Our two children with their spouses and three granddaughter ages 3 to 7 joined us. Tom and Carolin have prepared an incredibly warm, welcoming home, beautifully appointed and cozy. Besides an appealing playroom with children's library, they had prepared an outdoor fishing game (that entertained them for hours) and a fun squirrel artwork scavenger hunt indoors. There is plenty of parking in the long driveway, the neighborhood is beautiful and a beach walk a few blocks away. It is close to one of Seattle's most popular breakfast spots, we also enjoyed breakfast around the large, lovely dining table. We were all extremely happy with the wonderful, comfortable stay. Thank you, Tom & Carolin

Great place, great hosts
Our company came to the Wildwood B&B for a few days together. It far exceeded expectations. The house is large, clean, and beautiful. We were always comfortable - there was more than enough space to work and live without being on top of each other. The hosts couldn't have been nicer. Carolin is a pastry chef and left us some butter cookies, which were amazing. The fridge was stocked with yogurt, sparkling water, and other essentials. Everything worked great, and although we weren't able to really explore West Seattle due to work commitments, we had a couple of nice meals at spots that were less than a block away. Also, there's a bus stop just out front, so anyone who wants to get into Seattle has a cheap and easy way to do so. I will DEFINITELY return if life or work brings me back to West Seattle! Thanks, Tom, for such a great stay!

We had a party for 7 adults for our stay at Wildwood and couldn’t have been more pleased. The property was gorgeous and the feel of history throughout the home was wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about this property. Our host’s were amazing and there to answer any and all questions and even gave us great suggestions for a fabulous dinner within walking distance for anyone ( just right up the block) It’s just a short walk down the hill to the ferry and there is a quaint little beach there beside it to take in beautiful sunsets.

We are here from IN visiting family and friends for a few days. Carolin & Tom's beautiful 5-bedroom, 5-bath property was the PERFECT place to reunite! We were greeted with freshly baked delicious butter, cookies, and a thorough tour of the property. We love to cook, and the well-equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals for 10! In the mornings we dined outside, and in the evening we dined in the spacious dining room. The bedding and linen were fresh and new. The decor was fun. The house was spotless. The gardens are beautiful. Thank you Carolin and Tom. A friend who joined us for dinner last night is already interested in booking a future stay!

Our family of 13 had an outstanding stay at The Wildwood. Great location as a bus stop was in front of the house and restaurants a short distance away. The yard of the home was so peaceful and beautiful. The best VRBO home I have seen with how it was furnished with amenities. The kids loved the ice cream to make milkshakes that Tom and Carolin provided. The kitchen was just like we were at home!!!!! My only concern is The Wildwood may have spoiled us!!!!!!!!!

Summer in Seattle
Tom and Carolyn greeted us with open arms (and amazing homemade cookies). Was happy to see how much pride they took in their former B&B, their beautiful yard and comfortable accommodations. We visited during the summer with my family of 5 (ages from 20 to 65) to visit downtown Seattle and Mt Rainier. It was very convenient to walk a few steps outside of the VRBO and wait a few minutes for the bus. 20 minutes later we were at Pike’s Market. We also visited the Mariners game by public transport. The only thing that I missed in the listing was the lack of A/C in the VRBO. During the cooler months I imagine it’s wonderful to keep the windows open. The two bedrooms upstairs do get warm in the summer so multiple fans were necessary for this Florida family. The restaurant across the street was so good (everyone enjoyed the food) and convenient which was much needed after being exhausted from traveling across the country. We would definitely stay here again just to drink our morning coffee among the beautiful hydrangeas on the side porch or to eat Carolyn’s homemade maple pecan cookies! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Awesome Stay, Great for Families
We had an amazing stay! The house is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. They really go above and beyond as far as amenities in the house, even having ice cream in the freezer so we could use the milkshake machine! (disclaimer: I don't know if that's all the time or we got lucky, but either way it's an example of the increased hospitality. This place is GREAT for multiple families. It almost has separate apartments on different floors. We had 3 different families in the house and it was perfect. It is also WONDERFUL for kids. My kids (2 & 4) absolutely loved this place. They have a bunch of yard games and toys and books for kiddos. The dollhouse in the basement was just such a hit. And the neighborhood is perfect. We loved exploring Alki beach nearby and the other large park nearby. The bus stop is right outside and takes you all the way to right by the stadiums downtown so it's a great place to stay for any events. We were in town for the all star game and it was just the perfect mix of being in a lovely neighborhood but with close access to the city. We love this place and very much appreciate the great communication and hospitality, they made us feel very welcome. We will definitely return if we have the opportunity. Thank you!!!!!

Wonderful accommodation's
We where a party of 12 adults. So convent and easy to use the the rapid transit C line bus that stopped right at the end of the driveway and took us right to T Mobile Park. The beds where comfortable but the fold out coaches where uncomfortable for a adult to sleep on. The kitchen was well equipped and everyone really enjoyed their stay, the outdoor patio and gardens were a haven to sit and relax after the crowds of the baseball games. Hats off to Tom and Carolin for the beautiful job they did on decorating and renovating their house and property.

Seattle visit prior to cruise.
10 adults gathered from 3 states to spend a few days in Seattle prior to taking an Alaskan cruise. The house worked well for our needs overall. We did have 2 80+ aged members of our group, so the only drawback was no bedroom/bath on the first floor, but they managed the stairs slowly. Compared to other similar listings, this house had fewer steps to get into it and, with a powder room on the first floor, they managed well. I cannot say enough about the yard and landscaping! Stunning! So many flowers in bloom when we were there and ripe strawberries on the front lawn were some of the sweetest we ever ate! Very attentive owners and responded very quickly to any communication through VBRO site. Highly recommend and would stay here again without hesitation.
