About this cottage rental

Situated in Ballard, this attractive cottage for $268 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. The quiet and cozy Captain’s Cottage is an homage to the unique history of Ballard, where a large population of Scandinavians worked in the boat building industry at the turn of the 20th century. Inside showcases many treasures from the Captain’s seafaring travels. The house is situated on a corner lot with a front and back yard, where one can sit under the shade of fruit trees or take a walk to explore the neighborhood full of great restaurants, cafes and breweries with outdoor seating.

We loved staying at the Captains Place. It was really convenient to our sons location and places to eat. A perfect way to spend a few days in Seattle.

We stayed for 5 days in this whimsically themed Captain's Cottage that was thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed, including air conditioning. Despite its compact size, the house felt remarkably spacious for just my husband and I, with wonderful light and every comfort we needed. Renee was a wonderful host, responding quickly to every message. The location, in a quiet residential neighborhood, was convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, and transportation. We recommend to others and would happily stay here again.

My husband, toddler and I stayed in this cute cottage for 3 nights while visiting the Seattle area. Very cute and quaint cottage! It was just the perfect size for the three of us and the house itself had so much character. Truly a historic home in an adorable neighborhood. We had quick access to everything we wanted to see and enjoyed every moment of our stay. There were even raspberry bushes in back of the home growing fresh raspberries on them! We would recommend any couples or small families stay here. We had a nice time!

My stay in this nautically themed cottage couldn’t have been nicer! It is a sweet older home that has been charmingly decorated and outfitted with all the modern conveniences. I highly recommend this cute VRBO.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazingly cute little cottage with us. We've loved staying there! It's cozy, warm and very welcoming. You've provided all the things that make it homely and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to escape to Ballard. If I am asked to come back this way for work, I will be reaching out to you to see if there is any availability.

Old established Seattle neighborhood with easy access to buses to everywhere and walking distance to all the great stuff in Ballard. Not a roomy cottage, but it certainly more than works and in summer with the yard, would be fantastic. The hosts were great and I would definately stay here again

Captain’s cottage was perfect for my week in Seattle. Such a quiet neighborhood but an easy walk to everything I needed like local restaurants and grocery stores and to downtown Ballard, Nordic museum and the Locks. I would love to stay here again, maybe in warmer weather so I could sit outside. I also loved all the Captain’s art in the house. Thank you for sharing this cottage!

Reminded me of belowdecks on my grandfather’s wooden sailboat, 1960s: cozy, cunning, comfy.

We stayed at Captain's Cottage for a quick trip to Seattle! We needed easy access the the city but were traveling with our two kids....the cottage house was perfect! Close to the city but also tucked in a sweet and quiet neighborhood, the fenced in yard was a great place for our kids to play in and they loved all the Captain's touches! They kept asking when the sailors were coming home! Clean and well stocked for a comfortable stay! Thank you Renee...

The property itself is small but quaint and had everything we needed. Renee was excellent at communicating. The washing machine and dryer was a pleasant surprise. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The property was close to all the places we wanted to go to. I would recommend staying in this property for couples. We would definitely come back.

The Captain's Cottage was perfect for us. Just a few blocks from our daughter in a quiet neighborhood. My husband loved sitting out front with his coffee in the morning. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Renee provided everything needed. The washer and dryer were especially welcome. I would definitely stay at the cottage again.
