We like the location and the pool. The house has a lot of windows, which is great, but the master bedroom lack window shades for the top windows.

My stay at this home was 3 months and very comfortable. Host is helpful and responsive and desk and wifi connection were great, so I worked from home. Internet is strong and reliable. Pictures in the listing describe the home well, kitchen is fully equipped and the home has a great layout. Sofa, Bedding and Towels were all brand new. The gas fireplace is a great feature to enjoy during the winter season and is super easy and safe to use. I walked the neighborhood with my dog every day and also enjoyed the park, it is only a 5 minute walk away. I will definitely return to this home, hopefully in the summertime so i can use the pool. It looks amazing!

Unfortunately, this house did not live up to its promise or price tag, as advertised at the time of booking. It is far from a “luxury, executive rental” and other various details posted in the listing are misleading. Although the hosts were accommodating in fixing some things, luxury homes do not have so many glaring issues that need attention. In its current condition, this house is very tired and needs quite a bit of improvement. To start, the cleanliness of the house was insufficient, with horribly stained down comforters and bed pillows, a kitchen garbage can that was filthy with rotten food from previous guests, a vacuum cleaner that was full of debris from previous guests, half eaten food in a drawer, etc; the laundry room is unfinished; there are no window coverings in a bedroom with almost floor to ceiling windows on two sides that face half the house including the family room, dining room and backyard, fully exposing the bedroom to those in the house and anyone in the backyard, which includes yard maintenance people, gardeners and pool maintenance people, offering no privacy while sleeping, dressing, or any other activity one should be able to do in the privacy of their bedroom; carpet needs replacing; damaged furniture needs replacing; host’s personal items are scattered throughout the house and in each closet and many drawers. I will also note the “separate guest house on property” is not separate, it’s the attached garage that they’ve converted into living space so you are in fact sharing walls with others if it’s rented, as it was when we were there. What we did enjoy was its location in a very quiet neighborhood and its proximity to various parks and downtown Bellevue. The mattress in the master was comfortable and the sunken living room was cozy. Hosts were quick to respond when I reached out. With proper attention and/or an updated description, this home could be a wonderful stay. As it was advertised when I booked, it was quite disappointing.

Overall this property served our family's emergency housing needs, but also presented several issues along the way. Pros: Our kids enjoyed the neighborhood and nearby parks. The adults appreciated the location as well with easy access to downtown Bellevue and freeways. Pet friendly, we were able to bring our two adult cats along Cons: No washer and dryer available on-site for the entire stay, owner paid for laundry service twice a week which was nice but not sufficient with kids and limited clothing (we had to vacate our house quickly and grab enough for one suitcase) Construction going on in the house. This was not advertised. Laundry room was blocked off and in the middle of remodel. Sliding door in living room was not framed and in middle of remodel. Building materials were covered on front porch. This house is actually hosting two rental properties with another unit next door. The units share garbage and recycle bins which made for quick fill-ups on all fronts. Landlord visited our garbage bins multiple times without giving us any notice and monitored our garbage and recycling usage. This made our family very uneasy and felt like we were being watched. Dead rat in the back yard, we have no clue how it got there (our cats are indoor) but when we notified the landlord she simply asked us to just throw it away. In retrospect we probably should've called VRBO as this might be a potential vermin issue. Upon arrival we were met with horrible smell throughout the house. Carpets were covered in large animal urine stains that clearly had never been cleaned. Overall smell of the home is really bad. Think dirty hippie crosses moth balls mixed in with pet odor. We immediately bought 9 glade plug ins after moving in to make our stay a little less miserable. This is something we should've called VRBO about immediately but didn't think to at the time. The plug-ins helped a little but all of our belongings that were in the home for our stay had to be washed twice in order to get the smell out. The kitchen counters and stove top were covered in crumbs, oven was dirty, and inside all the drawers and cupboards were littered with crumbs and dirt. Our family wouldn't stay here again. We are thankful to have had a place to stay while we were in crisis and our home was being restored. What we've learned from this experience is to CALL VRBO WHEN ISSUES ARISE. We didn't do that and our only re-course now is providing this review.

Had a wonderful stay in Bellevue at this property. Hosts were helpful and prompt. Would highly recommend. Come in the summer to use the pool!

We spent two weeks in Clyde Hill in July and had a great time. The two differentiating factors for the house are its homeliness and its location. Comfortable bedrooms, a nice dining room and a cosy family room with Netflix. The location in Clyde Hill is quiet, yet close to the Bellevue center. And in all cases it cost us less than 20 minutes to get to Seattle, despite the overall horrendous traffic in the wider Seattle area. Finally, Uli and Victor are very helpful as hosts.

Nice, large house in nice neighborhood. Had everything we needed and close to the things we wanted to do. Owners were very nice.

Once again, this place was outstanding! Uli, the owner, is always so welcoming and makes sure I have everything for the most comfortable stay possible. I was able to relax for my short stay and enjoy the wonderful, cozy fireplace and amazing kitchen. I will continue to keep coming back every time I am in the Seattle area.
