Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi and AC in lovely Des Moines

Welcome! I'm Mark, a longtime property manager, real estate professional, and hospitality host with more than 25 years of experience caring for homes and serving guests. Since 2014, I've managed furnished vacation rentals and have hosted travelers from around the world.

As a fifth-generation Oregonian, I enjoy sharing the unique beauty, history, and outdoor experiences that make the Pacific Northwest such a special place to visit. My background in property management, construction, and real estate helps ensure that every home is well-maintained, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for your stay.

My goal is simple: provide clean, well-equipped accommodations, clear communication, and a smooth, enjoyable experience from booking through checkout. Whether you're visiting for a family vacation, outdoor adventure, business trip, or special occasion, I want you to feel at home and have everything you need for a memorable stay.

Thank you for considering one of our properties. I look forward to hosting you and helping you enjoy everything our area has to offer.

We chose this home because it offers something that's hard to find in the Seattle area—a peaceful retreat with incredible views while still being close to everything.

From the moment we first visited, we were drawn to the panoramic scenery and the feeling of being removed from the hustle and bustle without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, watching the sunset, or simply relaxing after a day of exploring, the views create a memorable backdrop for your stay.

The location is equally special. You're just minutes from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), making arrivals and departures easy, while also providing convenient access to Downtown Seattle, South Seattle, Renton, Tukwila, Kent, Bellevue, and many of the region's major employers, attractions, shopping centers, and restaurants. Whether you're visiting for business, family, sightseeing, sporting events, or a cruise departure, this location makes it easy to get where you need to go.

We wanted to create a place where guests could enjoy the best of both worlds: a comfortable home with beautiful views and a central location that serves as the perfect base for exploring the entire South Seattle region. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property truly unique is the combination of breathtaking views, generous living space, and an unbeatable location. While many homes offer convenience or scenery, it's rare to find both in one place.

The home is thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of sweeping views that can be enjoyed throughout the day, creating a sense of calm and connection to the Pacific Northwest landscape. Large windows bring in natural light and help blur the line between indoor comfort and the beauty outside.

Unlike a typical hotel room or smaller vacation rental, this property provides plenty of room to relax, unwind, and enjoy privacy. Whether you're visiting for a vacation, family event, business trip, or extended stay, the home offers a comfortable and well-appointed environment.

Its central location is another standout feature. Guests can quickly reach Sea-Tac Airport, Downtown Seattle, major shopping destinations, sporting venues, and many of the region's top attractions while returning each evening to a quieter setting with spectacular views.

For many guests, the combination of convenience, comfort, and scenery becomes the highlight of their stay. It's a place where you can explore everything the Seattle area has to offer while enjoying a home that feels like a destination in its own right.
