"The Lookout" Private, Blocks to Beach, No cleaning fee. Free parking. Discounts

Spacious view apartment that is the ground floor of an occupied private home on quiet dead end street. Watch the ferries go by from the large private view patio with French doors. It's well known that summers in Seattle are incredible but fall and winter storms can be spectacular to watch from The Lookout as they forge their way across Puget Sound. With it's heated floors and covered patio The Lookout is the perfect place to cozy up and watch the Northwest seasons change.

It is a short walk from The Lookout to the following:
- Buses to downtown Seattle
(Easy access to stadiums for Mariners, Sounders, Seahawks)
- 3 neighborhood restaurants and bakery
- Lincoln Park and outdoor saltwater pool (pool open Memorial Day to Labor Day only)
- Fauntleroy Ferry dock
- Local beach access

Also located in West Seattle within 5 miles of The Lookout:
- Alki Beach - A true beach community with beach volleyball, fire rings, restaurants, great people watching, a passenger ferry to downtown, and the best view of downtown in all Seattle.
- The Alaska Junction - A vast variety of restaurants, brew pubs, deli's, bakeries, and our own Easy Street Records (they sell vinyl and breakfast!)
- The Admiral Junction - Similar to the Alaska Junction but with a flavor all it's own. And a movie theater!
(FYI: these "junctions" are where SW Alaska Street and Admiral Way SW each cross the main West Seattle north-south street, California Ave SW. There is also the smaller, but closer Morgan Junction about 2 miles from The Lookout.)
- Westwood Village Shopping Center -1 mile from The Lookout with a variety of stores (Target, Marshall's), restaurants (Starbucks, Vatsana's Thai) and other stores for your convenience (QFC, Rite Aid Pharmacy).

- Kitchenette (no stove) with sink, refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, & teapot
- Basic cable Xfinity
- Wireless Internet
- Street parking (free)

Apartment is accessed by short garden path and 6 steps down to patio and lawn area.

Sorry but no smoking inside or out, and no pets.

PLEASE NOTE: Seattle is a very progressive (some might say aggressive) recycle-conscious community. Detailed instructions for how to separate waste and receptacles for each type of waste are located in the unit. We understand that it may be a little confusing at first but with just a little effort, and reading, it's actually pretty easy to accomplish. If after your stay we feel an honest attempt hasn't been made to separate the waste we may deduct a portion of your deposit. If we don't separate it we get nasty notes and even fines from the city. Thank you in advance for your efforts!

Wonderful Short Stay + No Cleaning Fee!
We got lucky and the night we arrived it was clear skies so we got to see the gorgeous sunset framed by the Olympic Mountains. (Other two nights were the typical wet, Seattle-gray skies, no mountain views.) Bed was good and you get a view while laying in it. Kitchenette great for breakfasts and reheating leftovers. Shower had good water pressure. Really great location. Quiet neighborhood. The place just felt cozy. The garden was in full bloom (spring visit). Heads up: the owners do live upstairs and, yes, you can hear them. If you're looking for a romantic getaway this isn't the place I would recommend. BUT! If you are like us, visiting a short time, perhaps one of you has a conference to attend then this is soooooooo much better than a hotel. Think of it more like a BnB atmosphere where you get to know the owners a bit (they were wonderful). You don't get breakfast served, but you may end up taking home some bay leaves and rosemary. =) The no cleaning fee is what made staying here a huge bonus for us. Normally the cleaning fee kills 2-3 night stays at Vrbos because it ends up as expensive as a hotel or at times even more. We were so happy to have had the chance to enjoy our cozy-comfy Vrbo vs. a boring hotel. I recommend taking the water taxi from Alki beach into Seattle. If you sign up for their app then you get 8000 points which covers a ride one way (by some weird luck or more likely a tech glitch, it covered me both ways.) For more info... The Hiking Bookworms

Northern lifhts
Not only was the view over the sound toward the white capped mountains amazing but the aurora borealis put on a great show as well. Hosts were welcoming. Apt was clean with sunset light on the patio. Bed was comfortable And the kitchenette had the necessary staples. Location was great for me with adult kids in west Seattle.

The Lookout
From the moment I arrived at this hillside home surrounded by beautiful gardens and trees, I felt at peace. Cannot beat the panoramic view. Watch the ferries come and go from the islands. Comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated.

My daughter and I really loved staying at this beautiful place. It was a perfect size with all of the amenities that we needed for comfort. The view was breathtaking and I loved having coffee in the morning and watching the sunset at night thank you so much!

Amazing sunsets!
We really enjoyed our stay at "The Lookout"...morning sunrise lights up the Olympic Peninsula Range in the distance, and simply glorious sunsets! Very comfy space, and stocked with basics plus ground coffee, a french press (our preference) or coffee maker & creamers in the fridge. Really appreciated the washer/dryer available too! The street is quiet, and tho you have to negotiate the turn around & parking, there is adequate space to tuck in and park. Will stay again whenever bodywork training brings me back to West Seattle in the future. Thanks for sharing this sweet little spot, Kristi & Pat.

Perfection
Just sit on the patio or, if it’s cold just sit on the sofa with a warm beverage and watch the fantasy world of the puget sound unfold. Your 15 min drive from all the downtown Seattle stuff but it is so so quiet both day and night. We’ll be back. Perfect set up for 2 the kitchen is small but not lacking in one thing. Very well organized space. And the gardens. Take good care of it if you go because I will be back often Thank you
