The Storybook House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

There's no more charming or whimsical place to experience Seattle than the Storybook House, a haven for the imagination just one block from Alki Beach. It's an escape for days spent riding bikes, walking along the shore, and enjoying West Seattle's excellent restaurants and shops, with all the wonders of childhood awaiting you back at home.

This single-story bungalow sits one block south of Alki Beach Park, in one of the most sought-after areas of Seattle. Go kayaking, put in your paddleboard, take your kids to the Alki Playground and Whale Tail Park only two blocks east, visit the arcade one block north, and catch incredible sunsets on the sandy shore. You'll also be barely over two miles (an eight-minute drive) from the water taxi to downtown Seattle, easily reached via shuttle along Alki Beach.

True to its name, the Storybook House has been hand-painted by a local artist to showcase a different children's book in each room. It's utterly charming, from the "Goodnight Moon" living room to "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" eating its way through the kitchen. When you're not outside on the sun-splashed deck, there's wonderful space indoors for reading books or watching movies by the fireplace and playing games at the kitchen table.

Whether you're making up your own world with "Harold and the Purple Crayon" or joining Max for a wild rumpus in "Where the Wild Things Are," the bedroom and bunk room promise the best of dreams. "The Little Prince" bathroom is darling in its own right, complete with a clawfoot bathtub. A folding crib, a high chair, many other amenities for small children like a sound machine, and a private washer/dryer are provided as well.

If you have kids who love to read, this is a wonderful spot. The house is old, so it’s a bit quirky, but generally well-provisioned. We stayed with 4 adults and a toddler. The house would work best for one family with kids, with parents in the Harold room and kids in the Wild Things. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed, although note, no dishwasher. It was a wonderful location - a 5 min walk to Alki and all it has to offer. We were pleased with the house and would stay again if we were traveling without Grandma and Grandpa!

We loved our stay at storybook house. Parking was easy but we didn’t need to drive anywhere because it’s so close to everything on Alki. Beds were comfortable and it sleeps like more than a two bedroom. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook. We also loved being able to sit on the back porch inside the fenced space. Will definitely be making another trip back to storm watch!

I’m sorry to say we won’t be staying at the storybook house again. We were so excited as the theme is great for kids! It started with the lack of parking when we first got there - the listing said 1 designated parking spot, but when we got to the house - there was no spot. I called Vacasa and they said it’s not designated - it’s first come first serve street parking (that was mentioned for the first time in the email you receive the day before - past the cancellation window - I had not gotten the email the day before as we were traveling and got everything else In text message) after many calls and “chat” messaging I was told someone from the local team would call me. No one ever did. I would note when we got back to the house from dinner (we had 3 hungry children with us when we got there), there was the spot that was “designated” available. We never had another problem parking in the “designated” street parking. But never heard from Vacasa again. We also had a plumbing issue with the one toilet - never heard from them either. We just dealt with it. Beware there are 2 chairs at the kitchen table - if you are planning to eat at the same time bring your own. Luckily they did leave 2 tower fans - but it did not appear the windows in the front room open. There was only 1 screen on 1 window - so if you don’t mind bugs or spiders - feel free to open the rest. It really is a cutely painted house in a great location, but there are other options that would be better.

The house was amazing, the kids loved the themes and SO MANY books to read! The location was also great, walking distance to the beach, great restaurants, with parks & playgrounds just a block away. The proximity to the shuttle for taking a water taxi to downtown Seattle was another great bonus. We can’t wait to come back!
