Lots of extras
The property is very serene. The use of a private firepit and hot tub is super special. There are thoughtful extras, including a sound machine for sound sleep, two coffee makers, and trash & recycling options. It was very quick and easy to get to Seattle without staying in Seattle. We highly recommend the waterview suite.

Great jumping off place.
We choose this place for the location being close to the airport. The extra bonus is in the place itself with view of the sound in a neat neighborhood perched on the shores. This is not a quiet place with it being in the glide slope of SeaTac. It seemed the busiest times were early in the morning and about 9 in the evening. The place was very clean a full of supplies. There's a Trader Joes a couple of miles away so we bought drinks and a couple of microwave dinners. The owners would kind enough to bake a batch of croissants that we had purchased at TJs as there is no oven. Overall a very nice place to stay while in the area!

Perfect for our stay
My husband and I enjoyed our relaxed stay. The airplane noise from SeaTac Airport was noticeable because we are not used to it where we live - it did not interfere with our sleep. We enjoyed watching the porpoises through our binoculars in the morning. We were very comfortable and communication with our host was great. We appreciated the wine and yummy chocolate!

Clean and Cozy
Excellent directions to find the place and the door. Reasonable instructions for staying (removing outdoor shoes upon entering to protect floors). Rooms were well lit, comfortable bed. Everything was very clean. We greatly enjoyed sitting outside or inside with the doors open. They provided a kettle, expresso machine (we did not use so can't review specifically), and keurig. Microwave and small fridge were nice too. Extra towels were provided, along with cleaning supplies which we greatly appreciated. Would love to stay again. However, VRBO messed up the merger with Hotels.com so I'll be deleting this account and using the other one that was created. so when we stay again, it will be under a different VRBO account. This is one property I am saving on the new account.
