3B1B Hidden Gem with AC & Private Yard

4.73 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews1 week ago

eo and Vivian’s home was absolutely beautiful—airy, open, and thoughtfully designed. It had everything we needed for family dinners, plenty of entertainment options, and tons of great outdoor spaces to relax in. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the shower was so soothing—it felt like a little spa moment each day. I usually have a hard time getting comfortable while traveling, but I truly felt right at home here. We’ll definitely be back—no doubt about it! Thank you both so much for being such wonderful hosts!

Bold‘n Beautiful Lakeview Getaway w/ private spa

5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviews1 month ago

Spectacular place! This place was a refuge. Gorgeous on the inside and an incredible view of the lake from the main living area. The bed was fabulous for us and the evenings quiet. The Burk-Gilman trail is a block away and the streets are also quiet enough for walking. The place was incredibly stocked and Iris so friendly and helpful.

Elegant PNW Waterfront Beach House with Pickleball

5 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviews3 weeks ago

We booked Chad’s house for a long weekend (mainly for the location on the water). Kayaking with the seals and sea lions was so cool! But the house was equally as impressive- and there was thought put into all aspects of the design and amenities. Chad was also a fantastic host. He was really communicative, and went the extra mile to make the stay special. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had on Airbnb!

Stunning West Seattle View House

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviews3 months ago

We had a fantastic stay—cold, but clear & sunny—a long weekend getaway from Portland. Michelle’s place was beautiful, with picture widows and lovely sunrise/sunset views of the Sound. The house was immaculately clean, and had all of the essentials and more. We cycled into downtown, around Alki, and ate at some yummy places within a .25-5 mile radius. There is always something to do on W Seattle, and Michelle anticipated our questions about cycling, restaurants or other tips. We would definitely return! A nice respite indeed…

Friendly Small-Town Vibes at The Whale's Nest

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviews6 months ago

We are so happy we got to stay at the Whale’s Nest. We had a group and rented the entire home. The location in Edmonds is unbeatable and we hope to come back to stay in the future - right in downtown, close to everything, but still felt totally private & safe. Very clean & super comfortable beds, cozy & well-renovated spaces. The layout was not quite what we were expecting, but it still worked for our group. We didn’t utilize the downstairs living/kitchen at all. Location is 10/10!!!

Newly Remodeled 1st Floor Lakeside Condo

4.75 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews3 days ago

Abrahams place is absolutely beautiful! The lake is a couple steps away and we walked up a couple blocks to a bar/restaurant nearby and Uber’d to downtown Seattle, which was only a 8 minute drive. He was very quick at responding. I had locked myself out(because of my own fault. Nothing to do with the lock itself) and got a response within a couple minutes. The place was exactly like the photos. I would definitely stay here again. 5/5 for sure. Thank you Abraham for letting us stay at your place and making the stay nice and easy!
