Charming 100 year old home - 1 Block from Beach Drive

This century old home sits just one block from the historical Beach Drive - Alki Beach! We just finished renovating the kitchen in February 2020! Not only close to the beach but close to coffee shops, many restaurants, and a fun park with play structure and tennis courts. With a short drive or water taxi to downtown Seattle, this home is the perfect vacation stay for a family or 2 couples. No need for a car on this vacation if you want to explore the city by bike and by water. The West Seattle Water Taxi is 2.5 miles down the boardwalk. The main floor has a queen sized bed and full bath while the downstairs has a king bed, and a 3/4 bath with shower. There's also a single bed in a nook perfect for a child/young teen. Alki Beach is a very popular Seattle destination. *There is not designated parking for this home. It's first come, first serve, street parking.

Great stay!

Cute, well appointed and well provisioned with a great location, this is one of our favorite stays. Outstanding public transportation to downtown Seattle, up the street around West Seattle or just walk a block to the beach and bars/restaurants, this is a fabulous location. We had several questions over the months leading up to our stay and a couple while staying there and the response was immediate. We can't recommend this place enough!

Alki Beach House

Good clean property. It is an old house so the basement area is cold. The heater does not heat that area. All and all a good place to stay that is close to the beach and places to eat.

As advertised and better!

The house is truly home-away-from-home. The new kitchen has all the basic needs. Beds are comfy amd warm. Bathrooms are updated. The whole house is simply decorated and clean. There are plenty of activities to do when you get stuck inside due to a snow storm, like we did! Location is perfect for Alki exploring and West Seattle neighborhood adventures. Parking was not a problem in winter and snow. Stay here...you'll be glad you did!

Christmas 2022

While it was a cold, icy, rainy Christmas we enjoyed our time with family in West Seattle. This house had plenty of room, and privacy, for the grandkiddos. Plus, in the midst of the rain, we loved the big windows which gave us that feeling of "breath". The location of this house couldn't be better for enjoying Aliki Beach and many delicious restaurants. While there were a few issues at the beginning of our stay the owners were quick to respond and resolve the problems. We would stay in this house again.. . . we must remember, it is 100 years old, but wonderful for a grandparent visit.

Super charming bungalow! Lots of space, open and airy, and very nicely decorated -- bohemian chic! Great location right near Alki beach and restaurants. Owners are very responsive. Only thing is parking is very tight and limited on the street, had to circle many times to find a space.

Lovely house very well stocked with everything u needed to enjoy your time at the beach. Parking can be a bit challenging on hot summer weekends but week days we’re not an issue. Only had a couple questions during our stay and when I texted I the host responded promptly. Thanks so much for everything
