About this property

Amazing and serene view house, art deco charmer, fully restored

New VRBO launched March 2021. Owner Michelle has been a five-star VRBO host for seven years with another Seattle listing.

Casa Florence is a beautiful 1936 house located on a serene bluff with expansive westward ocean and island views.

Named after Ms. Florence, who lived in the house over 60 year, and at 102 years old decided to move into a smaller place.

The house sits far back from the street on a view bluff. There is ample street parking. 15 wide and gradual stairs through the park-like front yard bring you to this amazing setting.

The main floor has a large living room with enormous picture windows to the view. A beautiful dining room also allows access to the 150 sq ft entertaining deck. The fully appointed kitchen has all the dishes and equipment necessary to cook the meal of your dreams, or to spread out a take-out feast.

The grand staircase leads up the large master bedroom with seating area and view windows. The 2nd bedroom is also upstairs, its flexible configuration has two twin beds which convert to full sized beds. This is also a view bedroom. The spa-like bathroom is also upstairs. It includes a large deep vintage tub for soaking and a separate shower.

The house is a westward facing bluff. Set far back from the street, with city forest land below it, the location is serene. Casa Florence offers stunning 180 degree ocean views of the Puget Sound and its silently gliding ferry boats and ship traffic, islands across the water and the Olympic Mountains.

And the sunsets! The house faces west and golden sunlight fills the house every afternoon and evening. Each day has its own special sunset.

Privacy - nearly all windows face the view, giving guests excellent privacy and opportunity to enjoy the view at the same time.

Sorry, no dogs. No emotional support animals either. Only service animals that have been extensively trained to perform specific tasks.

Family-friendly with adult style
I did a mommy and me trip here with my two young children. This house was great for kids and the perfect place to wind down in the evening after their bedtime. Fantastic views from every room. Kids loved the twin beds, little stuffed animal friends to hug, and watching the ferries right outside their bedroom window every single day. Touch lamps were great for little kids, tub, and TV gets any cartoon they want, heaters work great. It was raining so we didn't enjoy the grounds much but loved the whimsical garden. A note for parents with babies - the stairs have a secure baby gate at the top of the stairs and a crib or pack and play was offered. Host communication was outstanding and my special request was met perfectly. House has everything you could want to make meals at home. Location is sleepy and safe - we slept like babies and woke up to birdsong. Lots of people in the neighborhood just walking their dogs. Walk to Alki Beach is strenuous, especially with a stroller. Recommend just driving and parking. This is the best location to stay that is close to tourist activities and excursions while avoiding exposing little kids to street life in Seattle if you know what I mean. Could not have chosen a better place to stay in West Seattle and we want to come back again already! Amazing host thought of everything!

Better than expected.
Minus the owners son (they live next door) playing Nicky Nicky nine door, everything was incredible.

Love the view!
Had a great time. Able to watch the boats/ferries/ships pass by, and the Olympic Mtn range was the backdrop. Nice drive down Alki Beach to seafood diners, and lots of dining/shopping along California Ave.

Family Vacation
This rental is highly recommended. Wife and daughter loved the area's relaxed atmosphere. Property owner was very courteous and communicated well. The internet and TV services were exceptional. You have to try some of the area restaurants, and the Frensh Bakery. Enjoyed the view in the evening for 9 days. Sunset is awesome.
