About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Lookout Private, Close to Beach, No cleaning fee. Free parking. No smoking.

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/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, Thai, Wings) and other stores for your convenience (QFC, Rite Aid Pharmacy).

Amenities:
- Queen size bed
- Kitchenette (no stove) with sink, refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, air fryer, coffee maker, & teapot
- Fubo streaming
- Wireless Internet
- Street parking (free but tight)

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!

1st Visit to Pacific Northwest for RHCP Concert at Gorge
I went with my 5 year old for the first time to Seattle for a concert at the Gorge, to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The house had three levels and the unit was at the bottom, nice little walk around the house through a beautiful garden that reveals an amazing view. And the views were truly amazing, and improved daily, as the sky cleared it reveled more and more. The neighborhood was very nice, calm, not too far a drive to the downtown area. The place was super cozy, very home-y, my son loved the books, and playing on the rug in the living room area, I loved laying on the couch and watching tv while having the fantastic view out of the glass doors. It has a nice little covered sitting area outside with the same views, perfect for sitting and enjoying a nice glass of wine (or in my case, a Mike's Harder Lemonade) and taking in the views and weather. The owners do live upstairs and although you can hear them some, it did not affect or bother us at all. They made themselves available and communication was great, answering and addressing all our concerns. I can't say enough good things about them, I left some things behind and they were gracious enough to mail them to me. I would recommend this place and would definitely stay there again if I'm ever back in the area (which I plan to).

Amazing view
A wonderful getaway. Pat and Kristi were very nice and welcoming. The Lookout is exactly as described. It is curated with interesting art pieces and fresh flowers. Walking distance from the beach and walking trails. We had an amazing time!

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

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.
