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.

Besides the check-in process, which was very frustrating due to not being provided with the access code to enter the property before arrival, the overall stay was great after.

We had a great visit to Seattle. This bungalow is in a great neighborhood, was well furnished, and comfortable. Lori was responsive to my messages and we hope to stay here again when visiting our son and his family.

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.

Wonderful Stay
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.

Great getaway
House is comfortable and clean, located in a friendly neighborhood and close to shopping, parks, and views. Owner was easy to communicate with. We even lost an important item outside in the snow, which to our appreciation, the owner later found and mailed back to us.

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.

Charming Bungalow
My husband and I enjoyed our cozy little bungalow over the holidays. A small Xmas tree greeted us and outdoor icicle lights were very welcoming. Easy access to the owner when we had questions. We recommend this property.

Fabulous Cottage!
This was a great place to stay while we visited Seattle! The cottage is so charming and well stocked. The homey feel was supplemented by comfort all around. The book of instruction and suggestions was so welcomed for ‘newbies’ to the area. It was so easy to get around either by vehicle or foot. I wood definitely come back if they would have me!

Summer in West Seattle
We loved this property. Had everything that we could possibly need during our stay. Close to California Ave and fairly easy to get into Seattle during non-rush hours. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was a plus. The back yard area was secluded and very nice for sitting out. The AC was a portable unit, not central, but was mostly comfortable even with temps in 80's. Had a wonderful time.

Charming Cottage
My family enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. It is decorated very nicely with all amenities included. The owner is friendly and easy to contact. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, and is in walking distance to parks, restaurants and grocery stores. Alki beach is a short car or bike ride away. We hope to be back soon.

Great location, great house
We very much enjoyed staying here. It's in a great location in West Seattle: walking distance to parks and the Junction (stores, coffee, food...). Enjoyed availability of bikes to broaden our excursions. The house has three comfortable beds (2 bedrooms) and lots of good bedding. The outdoor space is particularly special. We used the grill to host dinner for friends on more than one occasion. Also loved the hot tub. Not all of the jets worked but it really didn't matter. Sitting outdoors in a hot tub on Seattle nights (cool) is a perfect temperature combination. Perhaps of greatest importance, the owner was very flexible and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay there again!

Charming Cottage, Great Location
Wonderful stay! Lori was very responsive and even had a brand new gas grill dropped off to replace one that had broken when I asked about it. Clean, comfortable, plenty of room in the house. Amenities are awesome and we enjoyed the hot tub in the cool mornings. Nice neighborhood for walk any time of day and within walking distance of waterfront, nice restaurants, stores, etc. I have nothing negative to say and highly recommend the property.

Tasteful comfort
Home away from home (if home had a hot tub!). The house is tastefully furnished, lacks nothing, and if we couldn't figure something out Lori was always quick to respond.
