About this property

'Alki-Soundview' is located just 25 min. (15 miles) from SeaTac Int'l Airport and 20 min. (7 miles by car) from downtown Seattle. [The high-rise West Seattle Bridge reopened on September 18, 2022 after a 2 1/2 year closure. ] Guests will enjoy the wonderful views from your apartment of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mtns, and looking over Alki Beach/Point from this well-appointed, garden level apartment (1200 sq feet) on Genesee Hill in West Seattle.

This private apartment has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, one bathroom with a large tile shower (no tub). The apartment can accommodate five people. Additional, sleeping beds are fold out beds. We charge $15 per person per night for guests after the first two.

The large, fully furnished kitchen includes all major appliances and a coffeemaker and toaster. Parking is available on the dead-end street beside the apartment. We list exclusively on VRBO/Homeaway and affiliates. If you find this listing on Craigslist, it is fraudulent.

Relax outside in your private covered entrance area with your favorite beverage and enjoy the view over Alki Beach/Point, Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and Islands.

'Alki-Soundview' is a perfect home- base with which to explore the Greater Seattle area. Walk down the hill to Alki Beach (.7 mi.) for picnicking, biking, tennis, beach volleyball and walking or jogging several miles of beach walk, exploring and enjoying water-oriented activities.

Good public bus transport, walk-on Water taxi to downtown, and WA State Ferries to Vashon Island and Kitsap Peninsula, affords you the opportunity to access all the entertainment, and sights of interest of the region. Also consider using Uber or Lyft which are readily available plus several car or bike sharing services. There are lots of places to see: Seattle Center (Space Needle, Science Center, Museum of Pop Culture), Pike Place Market, the Central Waterfront, Pioneer Square, Seattle Downtown, Capitol Hill, University of Washington, Boeing Tours, Museum of Flight, a fine assortment of museums and Pro Sports and Performing Arts.

A note about Seattle taxes: we are disappointed to report that starting in 2019 the City has imposed a 15.7% tax vacation rentals less than 30 days long. If you are planning a long visit, you might save a lot by staying 30 days or more.

Come visit and enjoy all that we have to offer in the Northwest.

Spring trip to West Seattle

Great West Seattle quiet neighborhood. Property just as described. Comfortable one-bedroom with a great bed and bathroom shower. Amazing views of Puget Sound and all the boat traffic. Binoculars would come in handy while sitting outside on the bench. Kitchen has everything. There are some steps to walk up to the door, so be aware of that. Property is on a steep hill. Felt very secure in the neighborhood. Truly, one of our best vrbo experiences. Hope to stay again when we next visit our family.

Beautiful, Safe and close to Seattle downtown

It was the best decision to stay in this property during my stay in Seattle for around 2 months. It only take less than 20 mins by car to Seattle downtown. The neighboring area are full of friendly people and beautiful sight to be hold. The owners are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend anyone looking for place to rent in Seattle to consider this place. PS. I strongly recommend you have your own transportation method.

Peaceful time

This is the second time we were able to stay at this home. First time was several years ago. It was even more delightful for the second visit. The owners have kept the space in immaculate condition. Every thing you need is there from the start. And they were quick to respond with help and questions when it was needed. The view from the space is stunning, and of course is different every day, and time of day. We were able to get some work done while there, as well. The location was perfect to get to the beach or the main junction. Definitely a keeper spot for our visits to family in West Seattle.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn and John

West Seattle has been our home for over 35 years. We bought this house in 2005 and spent several years doing a 'down to the studs' remodel which added a self-contained apartment on the garden level for family, friends and guests. We live upstairs.

We enjoy travel, meeting travelers and sharing our love for this area. Now that we are empty-nesters, we are ready to offer the apartment and to extend Northwest hospitality to our visitors.

Why they chose this property

West Seattle has a remarkable mix of resources and activities. It is like living in a small beach town yet Seattle's downtown is just 45 minutes away. This should improve when the West Seattle Bridge reopens in mid-2022.

What makes this property unique

This is a large, private, tastefully furnished and decorated view apartment in a great location. We are a 10-12 minute walk from the action at Alki Beach. In the peak summer months it's great to be part of the action, but it's also important to be able to get away from it. We are a few blocks from two different bus lines and a free shuttle to the Water Taxi that travels across Elliott Bay to downtown Seattle. Whether you travel downtown by bus, water or car (about 15 minutes), there is plenty to do once you get there.
