Great location

It was a great house in a great location. Perfect size for my family of 7. The house was very clean except some of the towers and pillows had a weird smell. We enjoyed our stay except we didn’t like that we had to take out the trash and we had to wash the towels that we used prior to checking out.

Amazing space - wonderful host

this rental was for myself, my partner, our grown daughter, my elderly mother and my brother. As you can probably guess, finding a place to stay for this diverse group that would allow folks to feel connected, have the access everything they needed AND have time/space to "do their own thing" when necessary was a tall order but this beautiful flat fit the bill. Our host (who stayed in a separate unit in the building) was intelligent, vibrant, full of information and tips, and very welcoming. We had everything we needed - the rooms were spacious and comfortable and there was a nice gathering space in the downstairs as well as upstairs. Did i mention that the house is beautiful! The interior is "magazine-like", stylish and well-appointed but also very cozy. The side and back yards are also really nice with places to sit and grill and play bocce ball if you feel like it. The surrounding neighborhood is very walkable. there is a Safeway a few blocks away, several churches and a gas station. Best of all, there are two resident, fluffy cats who are on hand to greet you as you arrive (but who are not allowed inside!) In sum, this rental was far nicer than I anticipated and I would absolutely stay again the next time I have occasion to venture into Seattle.

Great Stay

This was an excellent base for 3 couples for one week. We were there to cheer on the Blue Jays and to get to know Seattle. The owner was very responsive to our every need. Lovely outdoor area. Nice dining room for meals and playing games. The downstairs bedroom had a very firm mattress. Two out of three bedrooms upstairs had comfy mattresses but the master with ensuite was not very comfortable. Other small notable things … no towel bars just hooks and we ran out of cutlery if we didn’t run the dishwasher after every meal. We we were very happy with all the dishes and pans and so convenient to have some spices. Overall a great experience!

The Bocce Ball House is fantastic!

Josephine was great, and communicative before and during our stay at the Bocce Ball house. The house itself was an amazing space for me and my friends to hang out and reunite for a weekend. It's close to grocery stores and many other conveniences! Perfect for a Seattle getaway!

Comfortable and spacious

We are a larger crowd and this was a comfortable and spacious place to relax for an extended weekend while visiting family. The table was large and sat 8 comfortably. The kitchen was supplied well for the initial needs. Safeway is two blocks away for convenience. We did not hear any traffic noise from Roxbury. The house was quiet and warm with radiant heating. All-in-all we enjoyed the space. I will note there is one bedroom that needs blackout curtains. I would recommend that change Thanks very much for letting us stay in your home Josephine.

What a great, spacious place!

Our family truly enjoyed staying here. It’s tough to find any place in Seattle with a yard, making the Bocce Ball House a rare find. Great location with plenty of essential shopping within a couple of blocks. And as a bonus, our hosts shared fresh plums and sunflowers from their garden - so thoughtful! We highly recommend staying here!

Incredible Home Away from Home

My husband and several friends came up to West Seattle for a work project. The Bocce Ball house was large and very well appointed. The landscaping is lovely and the home has a great vibe. The property is a garden sanctuary in White Center and the crew enjoyed many enjoyable evenings out on the back patio. The beds and bedding were high quality and comfortable. The kitchen with well stocked, and there were even condiments in the fridge for guests. Andy is truly a premier host. Throughout the booking process and the stay, he was always very responsive and hospitable. When he learned Seattle was going to have very hot temperatures during the stay, he installed a portable AC unit in the main living room to cool the house down. Probably one of our best VRBO experiences, and we have had many good ones!!

Great place to stay!!!

This is a wonderful home and full of modern amenities. We had many family dinners and there was lots of space for our big inter generational family to feel at home. It was myself, my brother, daughter and her fiancé and two grandchildren. The area had some great spots and I highly recommend the Fresh Flours Bakery! Andy is an exceptional host, very caring, helpful and sweet. We were there for Halloween and they gave the kids treat bags!

We had to stay longer than expected due to the job running longer than planned. Andy was great in working with us to block out days while we figure out how long we really needed. Andy and his wife were very accommodating and we couldn’t have been happier with the house and property.
