3B1B Hidden Gem with AC & Private Yard

GeorgeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Vivian and Leo, thank you! You really have a well-appointed Airbnb. Clean, nice quiet neighborhood, great use of space along with some thoughtful design aesthetics. We were visiting for a hockey tournament and this is a 5 minutes from the Kraken Iceplex. There is a grocery store down the road. Good to know/see there is a 2nd unit nextdoor in case the next time we need additional bedrooms. Will rebook for sure next time we are visiting.

Modern and Elegant condominium located in Sea-Tac.

SylviaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our stay in SeaTac was very nice. The Airbnb Home was very clean and comfortable and cozy. The furnishings were very nice and there was a television in each bedroom, plenty of towels, blankets and extra pillows. Kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed to cook for our three day stay as well as extras for coffee and drinks, I highly recommend and would book while visiting in the Seattle area again.

Gamble Bay

SusanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A friend and I were in the area for a three day class at Quilted Strait. Wendy’s place was easy to find as it is very well marked at the road. She met us upon arrival and showed us around. The accommodations are spacious, super clean and anything you might need is available. Plenty of towels, blankets, kitchen items, shampoo, conditioner etc. She thought of everything. Also, there were fresh, delicious cookies waiting for us! I asked a few questions that I would have known the answer to if I hadn’t set a bag down on the table and covered up her provided information and she was always quick to kindly text back. The view here is lovely, big trees and a gorgeous bay. Enjoy!

We had a great stay in Seattle. The location was convenient for downtown tourism as well as visiting family in Mountlake Terrace and Everett. The house was impeccably clean, the kitchen was immaculate, bathrooms attached to every bedroom, and everything was comfortable. All at a very reasonable price. Great find!

Naili was an excellent host. Very responsive to all questions and inquiries. Very accommodating to me and my family and made our family Thanksgiving get together a reality with her beautiful home. The home is extremely gorgeous and very well kept with beautiful views and very peaceful. Everything was as advertised. I highly recommend staying at Nali’s house.

Your guide to Seattle Waterfront

Welcome to Seattle Waterfront

The Seattle Waterfront has always been a great spot to soak up views of Puget Sound — where orcas, Giant Pacific octopus, and primitive sixgill sharks swim — as well as the often snow-crowned Olympic Mountains to the west. The city has been revitalizing this popular neighborhood since 2010, creating a promenade, rebuilding piers, and adding an elevated connection to Pike Place Market. The result? A destination that expands upon such popular attractions as the Seattle Aquarium, a Ferris wheel, seafood restaurants, and the free Olympic Sculpture Park along the Elliott Bay Trail, where temporary installations mingle with the park’s centerpiece, 38-foot-tall swoops of scarlet-painted steel that depict an eagle. This former industrial site now forms downtown’s largest green space, and includes a small beach and Chinook salmon habitat. Eventually the waterfront will be a lush, 20-acre park, complete with space for yoga, festivals, a playground, and ice skating rink.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Seattle Waterfront

The inland sea of Puget Sound helps maintain a mild maritime climate, perfect for exploring and outdoor adventures year-round. Despite its soggy reputation, Seattle is actually the nation’s 32nd-rainiest major metropolis, ranking well behind Boston, Houston, and Atlanta. The culprit behind these rumors: clouds, which shadow 226 days annually here. But when they roll back, July and August tend to be glorious — and drier than Phoenix, Arizona. Few sights can be beat when the “the mountain is out,” as the locals say when Mount Rainier can be clearly spotted from town. The 14,410-foot volcano appears to loom over the city, despite standing 80 miles southeast.

In terms of waterfront events, standouts include July’s Seafair — famed for its pirate antics, boat racing, air show, and torchlight parade. Over the holidays, the area lights up with the Christmas Ship Festival and Magic in the Market.


Top things to do in Seattle Waterfront

World Famous Giant Shoe Museum

Pike Place Market houses a peep show that reveals some of the most gargantuan footwear ever crafted. Only one of these shoes has been worn by a human, the world’s tallest man. Drop a few coins into this old fashioned circus display and marvel at his big brogue, alongside a five-foot-long wingtip from the 1920s and other curiosities.

Gum Wall

A candy mosaic brings pops of color to Post Alley under Pike Place Market. This guerrilla art work began organically in 1993, when theater-goers started crafting designs with their chewed gum while waiting for the doors to open. The Gum Wall is so popular it inspired a line of merchandise.

Neukom Vivarium

The Seattle Art Museum maintains a 60-foot decaying hemlock at the Olympic Sculpture Park. The artist encased this “charismatic” tree in a greenhouse to illustrate the life cycle of the region’s forests, where fallen “nurse logs” support insects, fungi, lichen, plants, and even other trees. Volunteers open the display on the weekends, and by appointment two weeks in advance.
