Colvos Bluff House
The home is gorgeous. So tranquil and peaceful -- my family took a week-long vacation on Vashon and Brita's was the perfect jumping-off point. The location is super private, the home architecture is extraordinary, and the backyard garden is expansive. If you're looking for a great place to rest and recharge, this is it. There is a lot of great dishware, artistic elements in the home, and incredible views throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

Pike Place Oasis
Amazing stay right in the heart of downtown. So easy to walk to Pike Place Market and conference center. So much to do in Seattle that was easily accessible from this location. Target underneath a huge plus for things we might have forgotten to pack. Taylor was very responsive and available for questions or concerns. Beautiful condo with amazing views. Amenities in the building (gym, pool, sauna, hot tub) were amazing. We were sad to leave, but can’t wait to come back to visit in the future.

Seattle CONDO free parking!
Absolutely a great place to stay and perfectly located to everything you would want to have and see. A parking spot is available, but it’s so easy to get to her place from the airport and we would highly recommend using the public transportation and forget the car. Enjoy Seattle on foot. No shortage of interesting things to see on foot. This was a wonderful place to stay with great amenities and safe and secured access to the building. We will be back and this will be our go to place to stay anytime we come to Seattle in the future. A shoutout to Judy for being a great host.

Beautiful Oasis in Seattle's Seward Park!
Jessica's place is perfect for a family get-together with generously sized bedrooms and comfy shared spaces. This was our second time staying there, and we hope to stay there again whenever there is a family occasion in Seattle. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool in the backyard, and we also loved being close to the lake. We especially appreciated being able to borrow the kayak and paddle boards.

Waterfront Gamble Bay House +Seasonal Heated Pool
Lovely house with water views right within a quick drive of many Seattle area attractions. We had a great stay for a May wedding in the area. Allison has put a lot of thought into the house, with fun games, comfortable beds, and clear instructions for everything. Nearby Poulsbo is high on our list of recommendations.

Bellevue Oasis with 6 BR Haven!
Great house for a large group. Loved the kitchen and plenty of space!

Carlyle Retreat! Spacious 2BR home w/ Parking!
The place was great location , didn't expect it to be close to the center but yes I chose the right location close to everything. As for the host she was kind, quick to respond, and the cleanliness was top-notch. again walking through the trees,forest kinda to the house was the best peaceful thing ever happened to me since the year began. I think i will just make this my second home every time I'm in town.

Ballard home w/Sauna, EV charger, & Chef's kitchen
This is a great location, in a lovely area and easy to get to the sights in Seattle. Place is as advertised and clean, with great instructions provided on all aspects of use. We enjoyed the little extras provided by the host, including sparkling water and ice cream treats. Beds are comfortable and shower head options are excellent. This location is a very short drive (or lovely long walk) to downtown Ballard area with many restaurant, bar, and shop options. Host was very responsive as well.

Spacious Modern 1-BR
Sam's place was a perfect getaway for our short stay in Anchorage. Unit is well stocked, comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay again!

Linden Gardens at Green Lake
Betty was a great host! The place is squeaky clean and had all the amenities you could ever need. The location is quiet and peaceful. You can take a short walk to reach public transportation, many restaurants, and the Green Lake!

2BR Greenwood Artists Hideaway
This home has a lot of character with colorful walls, lots of indoor plants, mirrors and bamboo plants at the entrance. A lot of thought seems to have gone into the decor. The place is close to a busy street, but the double paned windows kept the noise out, and it felt very peaceful inside. The rooms are all good size and the kitchen is excellent. The only minor complaint is about the shower area - a little too small with short curtains that did not prevent water from splashing outside the shower area. The host provided clear check-in and check-out instructions.

A Birdie's Nest
We loved this peaceful place! Fit us just right. Very friendly and a wonderful place. We will stay again! Thanks so much.

Ballard Birdhouse - 93 Walking Score/Garage/AC/Gym
We found everything we needed including plates, cups and cutlery for our toddler. The only thing that we would suggest as an improvement would be better pillows.

Greenlake Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay in Greenlake. We were in Seattle to look at our relocation options, and the house was central to what we needed. Very cute and easily accessible to walk at Greenlake, visit local cafes, have good food, and of course, easy to commute to downtown. The home was as described, perfect for two people, and we really enjoyed our meals on the patio. We did have to visit a cafe for wifi access since we worked a few times while there. That's my only "warning," however. Just be ready to have options if you need to work, especially two people, eating up video and internet time. Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay! I also appreciated that Jennifer let us check in earlier due to our early flight arrival. That was very kind of them!

Playful Ballard Getaway: The Shuffleboard House
We loved staying here. It was perfect for our family. We loved having designated off street parking as we were traveling with our kids and 3 small grandchildren. Kevin was very responsive and accommodating.

Modern, Cozy 2 bedroom Family Friendly Home.
The neighborhood where the house is located is wonderful—very quiet, extremely safe, and just about 15 minutes by car from downtown, with easy access. There are plenty of shops and stores nearby, which was super convenient. Ryker was always very friendly and polite, and the communication was clear and easy to follow. The house itself is beautiful, with lovely decor and all the amenities you could possibly need. A truly great stay!

NEW Fremont Retreat! Safe & private
Great spot in one of the best areas of the Seattle. The house is very nice and new with lots of street parking. Would absolutely stay here again.

Ballard Bliss! 3BR/2BA with Garden + Office
We were in Seattle for our grandson's bar mitzvah and found this place because it was close to where the service was happening. We really love this house. It had everything we needed, including and cooking pans and opportunities for recycling and composting. The beds were very comfortable and the master bedroom upstairs with the king bed was so relaxing and sleep Able. There was even a highchair for our one year-old granddaughter who came by for dinner. The kitchen was small, but we were able to make enchiladas for a big group of people with the things that we found their plus we got two 9 x 13 glass pans from IKEA that we left there for the next person. At first, after we had been in the house and left and came back, we could not remember the door code and reaching out to Airbnb was a nightmare. At one point, we got a message that we would have to wait 24 hours to try again. But then I remembered the code and we got in, but it was a bit stressful to say the least.

Fremont Garden Oasis - Walk to 25+ Restaurants
Perfect stay for a Seattle vacation. Loved the space and neighborhood. We felt safe and would definitely book this spot again. The living room was super cute— just like the photos.

1950s PNW Modern in Ballard
We loved our stay. The home is warm and welcoming. It is charmingly decorated. Lots of light. Great landscaping. The beds are very comfortable with quality bedding. The neighborhood is lovely and it is a great Ballard location. The hosts are very responsive and helpful. Lots of fun details to make it feel like home. A lot of thought and care went into this property. We would highly recommend and hope to stay again sometime.

Cute and cozy stay for our family of 4! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was adequately stocked for cooking some quick meals during our trip

Modern Townhome in Walkable Ballard
Excellent rental in a newly built building on a residential lot in the heart of Ballard. A quick walk to shops, restaurants, bars, concert venues, and the farmers market. Easy access to the beach and to the great Burke-Gilman running and hiking trail. The guys are extremely responsive. The place is spotless and clutter free. Neighbors are very nice, too. Great spot - stay here and relax.
