The property is very serene. The use of a private firepit and hot tub is super special. There are thoughtful extras, including a sound machine for sound sleep, two coffee makers, and trash & recycling options. It was very quick and easy to get to Seattle without staying in Seattle. We highly recommend the waterview suite.

We had a wonderful stay at this stunning apartment. The view is amazing and Ruth and Richard are great hosts.

We choose this place for the location being close to the airport. The extra bonus is in the place itself with view of the sound in a neat neighborhood perched on the shores.
This is not a quiet place with it being in the glide slope of SeaTac. It seemed the busiest times were early in the morning and about 9 in the evening.
The place was very clean a full of supplies. There's a Trader Joes a couple of miles away so we bought drinks and a couple of microwave dinners.
The owners would kind enough to bake a batch of croissants that we had purchased at TJs as there is no oven.
Overall a very nice place to stay while in the area!

My husband and I enjoyed our relaxed stay. The airplane noise from SeaTac Airport was noticeable because we are not used to it where we live - it did not interfere with our sleep. We enjoyed watching the porpoises through our binoculars in the morning. We were very comfortable and communication with our host was great. We appreciated the wine and yummy chocolate!

Excellent directions to find the place and the door. Reasonable instructions for staying (removing outdoor shoes upon entering to protect floors). Rooms were well lit, comfortable bed. Everything was very clean. We greatly enjoyed sitting outside or inside with the doors open. They provided a kettle, expresso machine (we did not use so can't review specifically), and keurig. Microwave and small fridge were nice too. Extra towels were provided, along with cleaning supplies which we greatly appreciated.
Would love to stay again. However, VRBO messed up the merger with Hotels.com so I'll be deleting this account and using the other one that was created. so when we stay again, it will be under a different VRBO account. This is one property I am saving on the new account.

My husband and I loved our stay at this property. The view is amazing, the home is very comfortable and beautiful with thoughtful touches everywhere.
We did not use any of the cooking appliances but did see a lot of items available.
We appreciated the wine and chocolate!
Communication with Ruth was smooth. She was very responsive and worked with us as we had to change the trip dates a couple of times!
We would definitely stay again!!!

They were kind, attentive, quick to reply, gracious.
I was floored that when I told them i was Lowcarb/Keto, that they left me a bowl full of snacks I could ACTUALLY eat. Small touches mean everything. Will definitely be back here when I return in the spring/Summer.
Thank you for your hospitality :)
PNW is amazing, even in the winter

This was a great stay for us this Christmas. Not just for the beautiful view and the very comfortable accommodations but also for the tremendous hospitality from our hosts. Couldn't be more friendly and helpful. All your needs were taken care of. We will definitely return.

The room was awesome and roomy, the bed very comfortable, great shower, nice large T.V. Terrific view! The eating table was small, a tall bistro table. Would have been nice to have a larger table to play games on, there is lots of room for one. Some footstools for the couch maybe? The gas fireplace didn't work, maybe out of fuel, but owners were gone for the day, so no way to find out. Don't know if there are tanks that have gauges to be checked for levels, but would be nice if guests didn't have to be responsible for that. Didn't meet, but host super friendly by text! :-). One caution if you are a light sleeper, this is near SeaTac airport, so there is a lot of plane traffic, especially on Sunday morning.

This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. The view of the bay from the outdoor seating area was beautiful, and on a clear day you can see mountains in the distance. The location was very ideal as well - right by several state parks, Seattle and Tacoma, Sea-Tac airport, and a small town where you could go out to eat or get groceries. The hosts were very kind and helpful, and the House itself was perfect for cozy couples weekend. We had a great time and would love to return next time we are in town!

We enjoyed our little get away that was conveniently located near Seattle. We used this property as our base camp and retreat after touring the city sites during the day. Our hosts and their family are lovely and welcoming people; and were the best part of our stay!!!

Stayed for a quick weekend trip for my wife's birthday. Communication with Ruth was easy and very pleasant. Arrived to a gift and a note wishing my wife a happy birthday. Studio is as advertised and comfortable. We had a relaxing time sitting on the covered patio area looking out at the sound. Perfect for what we wanted. In the kitchen area you could occasionally hear sounds from the main house but it really was not intrusive at all. On our last day Ruth contacted us saying we could stay a few hours longer as they had no one coming in after us that evening. Would recommend if you are looking for a place in the area.

What a wonderful family! Ruth is very kind and hospital. She takes her time walking us through the cottage, and sending recommendations on where to visit in the surrounding area. She was very responsive to texts and calls.
The place is very cute, with one of the best sunset view we have ever seen. We really enjoy sitting by the fire just spending quiet time watching the sunset and water. The bed is very comfortable with plenty of pillows of various level of firmness for us to choose from. There are plenty of extra bedding, blankets, and towels as well.
There is no AC, but the weather stays nice and cool during our visit, so we didn’t need it. Upon arrival, it felt that there were some sand/debris on the floor. We were able to clean it up with the provided vacuum inside. Overall, the stay was wonderful. Thank you for hosting us!

The location was perfect! The location was very quiet, but close enough to stores / restaurants for ease of access. The views were absolutely amazing. Being able to lay in bed and watch the sunset over the water was spectacular. Next time I book in this area I hope this place is available. Also, the hosts were such lovely friendly people, made it that much better.
