The host was so welcoming; they hooked up a new propane tank for us, so that the fire pit would work; the view was stunning; the neighborhood was beautiful! The host was so gracious and sent us a list of places to walk in the neighborhood, and places to eat! The apartment itself was much bigger than it looks online, and they thought of every detail! Will definitely try to book again when in Kent, visiting family! Thank you!

Anniversary getaway

This property was just perfect for my husband and I. We picked it for the price and beautiful view. We throughly enjoyed sitting outside looking at the sound while using the firepit and/or hot tub. This was so relaxing and perfect start and end to our days here. Our high light was seeing dolphins swimming in the sound. There is a telescope here we were able to use to get a perfect view of them!! This neighborhood is super quiet which was really nice. We planned on going out to eat our meals so the amenities provided here were perfect for us. Richard and Ruth were super quick to get back to us if we had any questions and were very welcoming. Their house is attached but we honestly couldn't even tell they were here. We had a great time here and would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much.

Perfection!

The pics and descriptions were perfect. Sometimes places aren’t exactly as you see them in the pics and there is a not so great surprise. Not this place. Everything was perfect and beautiful. It wasn’t crowded w signs of ”don’t do this”, and the very little signage they did have was professionally and custom made, which added to my appeal of the place. The art was true art and not some cheap crap. They had personal touches everywhere. In the mornings I’d make my coffee, open the double doors and stare at the water. The hot tub and fire pit were easy to use, while the robes made me feel very cozy. The communication was impeccable. They provided tons of ideas for things to do and eat. Wally’s Chowder House…. Is a must do. I asked about a trip to Bainbridge and they quickly provided tons of info.

Pre-cruise visit

We stayed the weekend before our cruise departed to allow for adjusting to new time zone and to see the area outside of downtown Seattle. The space was exactly as the ad described, peaceful, quiet, and convenient. Our first time staying in a room attached to someone’s house. We never heard or saw the hosts, but she always answered any texts we sent. Until next time!

A peaceful hideaway

I stayed for 2 nights. The unit was comfortable and nicely appointed. I didn't use any of the outdoor amenities or cook, so I can't comment on those aspects. The view is gorgeous. There was some airplane noise as another guest commented, but it didn't bother me. Great communication by the hosts. I really appreciated the outdoor lights, since I arrived each night after dark.

Beautiful location and lodging.

My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights. Ruth made sure communication was smooth and sent us recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc. The location is beautiful and quiet except for the airplanes going over. Didn't bother us at night to sleep, but as suggested we had the doors open in the evening to cool things down since there is no air conditioner. So every time a plane went over it was loud. With the doors closed it wasn't an issue. The location is not far from the freeway and/or getting into Seattle for touristy stuff. There aren't a lot of restaurant options nearby - have to go about 5 miles to find more than a couple. But there is a Safeway about 2-3 miles away. And that's the whole point of staying here - it's NOT in the city. But you need to plan in advance that it's NOT in the city. With the fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc it's not hard, just need to be aware. IT'S WORTH IT, but that's the reason I gave a 4 for location. Internet was great if you need to work. Owners were responsive to our requests and we barely even knew they were on the property at all. If we needed something they would drop it off on the porch and text that it was there. Would recommend.

A slice of paradise for sure! We even saw some porpoises in the Sound! The only downside and it's VERY minor. There truly is NOT a kitchen or kitchenette in the property. There is a small fridge, a hot plate and coffee pot but not a sink, etc. that you would call a kitchen. However, again, we didn't really plan on cooking anyway. 5 star location and hosts!
