Houses in Seattle

Architectural Gem, Light-filled, Modern & Cosy
We loved staying in Allory's beautiful home! I especially appreciated the rule for no shoes as I knew the space would be clean and feel like home. The large windows let in streams of sunlight and had a great view of the mountains. Hope to stay here again soon!

Top Floor Apartment; Charming and Private
Janet was very flexible and accommodating. I would highly recommend her Airbnb.

Ballard Garden Flat
This is a comfortable little apartment impeccably maintained, that opens out to a backyard that has been beautifully landscaped. We really enjoyed the neighborhood. The hostess gave us clear instructions and was easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her and the apartment to anyone who wants a convenient place to stay in Seattle.

2BR Greenwood Artists Hideaway
We absolutely loved staying here! The greenery and serene water elements outside made it a relaxing haven and the place was well equipped with pretty much everything we needed (especially the kitchen). Public transit stops were a quick 3-7 minute walk away to get to other areas of Seattle as well. Tip: The bathroom has a wet room style layout, so we brought flip flops / shower sandals for added comfort!

The Lake House - hot tub, waterfront
Amazing, quiet, and beautiful location right on the lake. Very affordable too!

West Seattle Home, Dazzling View, Quiet & Tranquil
I echo much of the same positives mentioned by past guests. Probably one of the cleanest airbnbs I’ve stayed at, if not the cleanest, and you can tell the host cares a ton about comfort when it’s never hard to find a tissue. Every space had tissue boxes, which I think is an amazing touch I’ve never seen elsewhere. Would stay again 100%. Thank you Carter for a fantastic stay!

A Birdie's Nest
A Bird’s Nest was the perfect little getaway for my partner and me. The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly cozy. We loved relaxing in the peaceful backyard, and the town nearby had plenty of great spots for food and coffee. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Modern lakeview studio pet friendly & EV charging
Had a great stay here with our dog Sammie! For a studio it has a good amount of space and felt very homey. Lots of nice touches and upgrades. Really loved the shower space with a lovely frosted window featuring a beautiful forest scene. The deck is fantastic too. Nice and private with outdoor furniture for lounging and a great view of the trees below. The whole place gets wonderful natural sunlight in the morning. It also features a cool work-from-home space with monitors that we took advantage of. There are string lights on the deck which is awesome but we couldn't figure out how to turn them on and off. They seemed to be on a timer? I inquired about how they worked but didn't hear back so we just ended up unplugging them at night so they wouldn't affect our sleep. The well-manicured yard worked well for our little dog but I don't think it's fully fenced in on the side. If your pooch likes to run off, keep an eye on that. Wholly recommended!

Light/Bright/Inviting Udist studio!
I definitely recommend staying in Kristi’s airbnb. The property is absolutely beautiful, located in a quiet and safe neighborhood walking distance from everything you need. Kristi herself was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and her cute little dog Cookie was possibly my favorite part of the stay. 10/10 experience, I will be booking her airbnb again next time I come out to seattle.

Gorgeous 1BR Suite W/ Spectacular Waterfront View
Really great spot, perfect for two! The patio gives a beautiful sunset view. Instructions were super clear and host was responsive when we needed. Highly recommend!

Green Lake Guest Suite - 1 Block to Lake
The location was absolutely perfect! So close to green lake. And the place was spotless. I felt very comfortable. Thank you so much Nadia and Rob for hosting. Will stay again!

Elegant Madrona Studio Apartment close to Downtown
It was such a nice lovely stay. lots of adequate space for one person. i got to wake up every morning to the catio, which was the best part. Lisa is so nice, helpful and understanding. 10/10 would totally stay again.

Spacious MIL Apartment in Lakefront Mt Baker
Very beautiful neighborhood location. A short walk down to Washington Lake walking path. Bus or light rain nearby for easy transportation to Seattle sites. This rental is very clean and comfortable. This is our second stay and we will be back. Thank you Lisa for a pleasant getaway.

Private Mt. Baker Daylight Apartment
Thomas's location was perfect for our weekend trip. The apartment was not just what we needed; it felt like a home away from home. It was cozy, and we felt comfortable. Thomas was a great host. He communicated that the apartment was ready for us when we arrived and that we could check in earlier than the usual check-in time. We did not meet the first day we arrived, but he came down to introduce himself the next morning, and we had a friendly chat to discuss our plans for our visit to the area. This location is ideal for anyone who plans to visit the city to attend any events held at T-Mobile Park or Lumen Field, as the routes to the area are simple and easy to get to. Plus, it is a good location to get to downtown Seattle or Bellevue, with easy access to major roadways. I will consider Thomas's location again for future travels to Seattle.

Cloud Canopy
Incredible is an understatement, both the host and place gave me such a good welcome and experience of Seattle that I almost didn’t want to come back home. Everything from the window view, proximity and warm energy made my stay such a beautiful experience. Staying here is top must especially if it’s your first time!

At Mine - Prime Apartment in Seattle Downtown
Overall really enjoyed my stay at this Airbnb. In a great location, near pike place market + 1st Ave and the price was very competitive. The hosts were really responsive and kind. They have a great bag holding system as well, although I didn’t end up using. There was the occasional loud neighbor and some street/ building noises, but to be expected for the area. I’m a light sleeper, and was able to fall asleep without the use of earplugs (which are nicely provided ). Overall I enjoyed my stay and had no real inconveniences or incidents occur and if I’m in the Seattle area again will try and book here again.

Magnolia Coach House: luxury & comfort
The Magnolia Coach House was the perfect size for myself, mother, and sister. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed the space and our stay with Carly.

Historic Discovery Bay Beach Cabin Stunning Views
My friend and I stayed here for a girls trip and it was perfect! The historic cabin is cozy, cute, and equipped with everything you need for a peaceful getaway. When we weren’t at the cabin relaxing we enjoyed being able to exploring downtown Port Townsend. Darrell and Carlene made us feel welcome and excited to share their beautiful cabin. I highly recommend staying here and plan to be back!

Stylish & Cozy Private Cottage in Greenwood
We had a very comfortable stay. Pros: The checkin instructions were very clear and we did not have any difficulty finding the location. The house was better than it looked in the pictures. The approach road is a bit cramped but we had enough parking space for our vehicle and the neighborhood felt safe . The kitchen was well stocked. Cons: 1. Some smaller windows did not have blinds. Since we are used to sleeping in a dark bedroom, we had a bit of difficulty falling asleep. 2. There wasn't any private space to dress up. This was not a big issue for us since we didn't need it. The stay exceeded our expectations and we had a great time.

Sky Valley GeoDomes | Huge Views + Hot Tub
This stay was not only exactly as described — it was even better in person! The domes were spotless, beautifully designed, and surprisingly cool thanks to the amazing AC. Everything was so thoughtfully set up and aesthetically pleasing. Bonus: it’s pet-friendly, which made the experience even more special. Truly a unique and peaceful getaway. The hosts were incredible — 10/10 all around! Highly recommend.

Private Backyard Studio with off-street parking
I had a wonderful stay at Sheila’s! She kindly allowed me to check in early and provided clear, straightforward instructions that made arrival easy. The accommodation was spotless and filled with beautiful natural light. It made the space feel so warm and welcoming. Sheila was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and personable, always responding within minutes. She even shared great recommendations for my road trip, which I really appreciated. It was a perfect stay from start to finish. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for welcoming me into your home!

Rivertooth cabin retreat- Ultimate river view!
This is the coolest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. There is a little surprise in every corner, Ellen and Cam are so talented and it shows in their space. Can showed me his glass collection and Ellen made me the best muffins. I will never forget this place, thank you guys so much for sharing your whimsical space.

Beach 3 blocks |kitchen|Restaurants 5 blocks!
Very clean, spacious and comfortable. The location close to the beach and parks was amazing. The kitchen and the bathroom were well equipped. Would consider coming back for sure.

Relaxed Garden Cottage Close to Light Rail
This little cottage is an easy to reach oasis after a long day seeing the sights of Seattle. It's nestled in a beautiful garden and is so cozy! It's a quick walk to the train, the grocery store and a beautiful park that has stunning views. It was perfect for our quick get away.

Your guide to Seattle
Introduction
Sandwiched between the waters of Puget Sound and Lake Washington and between the mountains of the Olympic and Cascade ranges, Seattle is a city of stunning views. Combining that allure with its gentle, outdoors-focused lifestyle, the city is an ideal spot for an urban getaway or as a base for a longer trip to explore western Washington. Green parks and tree-lined neighborhoods spread across the city, while Mount Rainier and the iconic Space Needle anchor the skyline. The latter offers a stunning view of the city’s many hills and waterways, including the houseboats along Lake Union and the ferries shuttling passengers across Elliott Bay. Though its surroundings provide a stunning backdrop, the city also lives up to its much-deserved reputation for great music, strong coffee, and ubiquitous flannel shirts.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Seattle
Seattle’s reputation for rain precedes it, but most visitors will find their trip unaffected by it: The rainy season runs opposite tourist season, with the bulk of precipitation coming down from November to March. Additionally, the rain that does fall rarely comes in stormy sheets, but rather in a constant drizzle — the kind that can feel endless to residents, but which rarely calls for canceling outdoor plans. A waterproof, hooded rain jacket provides better protection from this kind of rain than an umbrella. Cool weather arrives in winter, but temperatures rarely drop below freezing during the day. The dry summer season brings delightfully pleasant weather, and is an ideal time to book one of the city’s vacation rentals, with daily high temperatures averaging in the high 70s Fahrenheit and cool evenings in the mid-50s.
Top things to do in Seattle
Fremont
The self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe” epitomizes the quirky, friendly nature of Seattle neighborhoods, with its ample public art like the “Waiting for the Interurban” statues and a waterfront park created from a former gasification plant. Home to many of Seattle’s big tech companies, Fremont also offers an exciting slate of shops and restaurants catering to young, hip crowds.
Olympic Sculpture Park
The outdoor arm of the Seattle Art Museum, this free nine-acre, multilevel public park features temporary and permanent sculptures from internationally renowned artists. The installations dot a hillside cut through by a zig-zag path that leads down to the picturesque Elliott Bay, where it meets up with Myrtle Edwards Park and the Elliott Bay Trail.
Pike Place Market
Dating back to 1907, Seattle’s beloved and enormous market, perched over the waterfront, enjoys fame around the world for the fish from nearby waters. But the colorful displays of flowers, farm stands full of fruit, and dozens of local culinary producers deserve equally high billing. On the lesser-known lower floors and outer buildings, hundreds of craft artists, small businesses, and restaurants serve the community.
