About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cute West Seattle Cottage

Our studio has tall ceilings and big windows making it light & bright. It has a queen sized bed, allowing for a maximum of 2 adults in a studio setting. The studio is especially great for one couple. There is a 42” smart tv and a desk where you can set up your laptop to take advantage of our high-speed wireless internet. In addition to a closet full of games, there is also a pinball machine and shuffle board for you to use.

In the kitchen, you will find a refrigerator, oven/stove, coffee maker, and microwave. The cabinets are filled with all the dishes and equipment you may need during your stay. We stock coffee and some pantry items to get you started. The bathroom includes all the necessities and a few extras. It has a shower only, no bathtub.

The studio is situated on the North side of the main house and next to the Charlestown Water Tower. The yard is a pleasant place to relax.

Although you may feel comfy cozy nestled inside the quiet, peaceful studio, you will be just a few blocks from the heart of our neighborhood. Walk down the street to the West Seattle Junction, a pedestrian hotspot with excellent artwork, antiques, coffee shops, great restaurants, a pharmacy, grocery stores, year-round Sunday Farmer’s Market and nightlife.

You are also just a short distance from Alki Beach, Lincoln Park and the Elliot Bay Water Taxi. Alki Beach is a great place for summer fun and beautiful views of downtown; Lincoln Park is great for a hike in the woods or a dip in the saltwater swimming pool (in the summer). The Elliot Bay Water Taxi from Seacrest Pier to downtown Seattle is a great way to experience amazing views on a quick ride to downtown and avoid downtown parking. By car, downtown Seattle is just 10 minutes. Or, another great hassle-free option is to hop on a metro bus and ride just 15-20 minutes.

A perfect home base to visit Seattle. Close to the airport, museum of flight and a quick, fun water taxi ride to downtown. In addition to a relaxing walk to the Sunday farmers market. After our adventures, we knew we were coming home to a quietly oasis. aclean,comfortabloasis

Fun and Charming Retreat in Seattle

This cottage in West Seattle hit all the marks that a vacationer could want or expect. The layout is excellent. The bed is very comfortable. The smart TV is nicely situated and comfortable to watch from the couch or the bed. The location is convenient to cool bars and restaurants. And the hostess is accessible and friendly. Highly recommended!

Quiet guesthouse in nice neighborhood

The neighborhood is very quiet and cute, within walking distance from restaurants and shops. The cottage is open and bright and had everything we needed. We might suggest for guests who are light sleepers to bring eye masks since it is so bright. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there even were a lot of games, including pin ball and shuffleboard. We enjoyed our stay!

Charming and Well Stocked

We loved our stay in this guest house. It was clean, comfortable and quiet, and the Shafis are friendly and welcoming. It's pretty obvious that they put a lot of thought into preparing for guests, as the place is well stocked with the usual needs, plus games and even picnic supplies. There is also plenty of seating in their lovely garden, which alone is worth the price of admission. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to stay there again when we find ourselves in the area.

Great location, wonderful host(s)

This cute cottage in West Seattle met all our expectations, and exceeded some. As a person who uses a wheelchair, I can say that this cottage was by far the most accessible accommodations I have ever stayed at. The host was very helpful in suggesting things to do, and three best way of transport to get there. I would definitely stay here if I ever find myself in Seattle again! Thank you, Janet, it was a pleasure to meet up and chat.

Great place!

This place is bright with lots of windows, roomy and comfortable. The bed was great and plenty of pillow options to find the just right one. The kitchen is well stocked. The air conditioning was a nice treat. The garden outside is beautiful and the neighborhood is quiet. You are close to everything. Constellation Park is a 5 minute drive with great tide pooling. I enjoyed Ampersand Cafe on Alki with great coffee, breakfast items, and a waterfront view. There is also Metropolitan Market nearby with great produce, deli and hot bar. Janet was an incredible and thoughtful host.

Better than advertised

My only regret is not staying longer. The cottage was very nice, my wife and I both said Wow at the same time as we entered. It’s a beautiful place, and the host was fabulous. I never got to meet Janet, but we communicated through the VRBO portal. She seems like she has a very sweet demeanor. She was very responsive and helpful, making suggestions to restaurants and sights. She had notes throughout saying, Help yourself to anything in the cabinet. I felt more like a family member than a customer.

Absolutely fabulous place to stay while in Seattle.

My boyfriend and I just stayed here for three days and we can't say enough about what a gem of a property it is.. The cottage is just adorable and one can see how much the property owners love this cottage by the decor, attention to detail, cleanliness, quality of furniture, lines, towels etc. The property is in a fabulous location (2 miles from the beach, a mile from the Junction (wonderful restaurants and stores), easy ride via car or water taxi into Seattle) and I know the next time we are in Seattle we will be staying there again. Janet and Roshon are the best hosts ever. We were fortunate to have met them in person and spent some quality time talking with them and getting to know them. They sincerely care about the well being of their guests, you just can't get any better. I've been using VRBO for my vacations for a long time and this one was the best ever.
