About this property

Charming 100 year old home - 1 Block from Beach Drive

This century old home sits just one block from the historical Beach Drive - Alki Beach! We just finished renovating the kitchen in February 2020! Not only close to the beach but close to coffee shops, many restaurants, and a fun park with play structure and tennis courts. With a short drive or water taxi to downtown Seattle, this home is the perfect vacation stay for a family or 2 couples. No need for a car on this vacation if you want to explore the city by bike and by water. The West Seattle Water Taxi is 2.5 miles down the boardwalk. The main floor has a queen sized bed and full bath while the downstairs has a king bed, and a 3/4 bath with shower. There's also a single bed in a nook perfect for a child/young teen. Alki Beach is a very popular Seattle destination. *There is not designated parking for this home. It's first come, first serve, street parking.

Wonderful rental!

This cozy bungalow is right near the beach and restaurants! Parked right in front except for on Saturday. After driving into the city, we learned right away that stsying in West Seattle was definitely the right decision. Would definitely stay here again!

Delightful get away

We stayed at the house instead of a hotel for a Seattle wedding. Delightful location, house and amenities. Very organized and easily sleeps 5. Owners were very responsive. Heads up that there no grocery store within walking distance but there is a lovely one a quick ride away. Highly recommend.

Perfect location! Short walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops. Well appointed home and everything you need. Parking can be tricky but still worth it for the location. Definitely will be back.

Perfect place

We stayed in this darling charmer over MLB All Star Week and it was perfect. Never staying at Alki before, we didn’t really have a whole lot of knowledge of the area. It was so great to be so close to the beach and only a 10 minute drive to downtown/stadium area. We were appreciative of the beach umbrella and the games. The teens had fun with access to the scooter rentals and we felt very comfortable letting them be outside on the promenade. We made breakfast in the adorable kitchen and ate out the remainder of our meals. The only thing I wish we would have known is there is not a door on the bedroom downstairs. We made due just fine though. Parking was a little nutty but we expected that and was able to deal accordingly. We would be happy to rent this bungalow again.

Beach house in Seattle

We really enjoyed our stay at Alki Beach. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for a week of cooking. The location so close to the beach was fantastic. We saw some blue herons on morning walks. The location was perfect for us to be able to get downtown as well as to the highway for visiting the national parks. Thanks for sharing your home!

About the host

Hosted by Todd and Tiana Manola

We have been in the vacation rental business since 2013, this is our second VRBO. We enjoy the Pacific NW and all it has to offer! Our family of 4 lives on Three Tree Point in Burien, WA. We love boating, fishing, beach combing, pretty much anything relating to water.

Why they chose this property

Alki Beach is one of our favorite places in Seattle. The boardwalk is a great place to walk, rent bikes, people watch, etc. We love many of the restaurants and this house is so close to all of them! We thought the location of this property would be the perfect vacation rental. We have decorated the interior in bright whites and natural fibers making it warm and organic feeling. We love this house and had so much fun working on it and making it feel like vacation!

What makes this property unique

The BEST part of this house is the location. With just a short walk to coffee and restaurants and a beach stroll in between, what more could you want? The views just outside the house are amazing. Alki is so beautiful and with a quick bike ride or 2.5 miles walk, you can hop on the ferry to downtown Seattle and take in big city sights!
