Welcome to Alki Beach, Seattle's birthplace, and home of the historic Alki cottage. Built in 1907 and recently updated, this cottage is one of the original West Seattle beach houses. Detailed with memorabilia, this two-story bungalow celebrates Seattle's legendary music scene. Enjoy Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views from your front porch and throughout the house. Launch paddle boards or kayaks directly across the street. You'll find the extensive walking and bike path along Alki here as well. When you're ready to go sightseeing or take in a game, hop on the water taxi for a scenic ride across Elliott Bay to Seattle's waterfront and downtown! Styled with an amazing array of memorabilia, the living room is a music lover's dream! Choose an album to play from the well-stocked collection. Or settle in on the sleeper sofa and watch a movie on the 58-inch Smart TV. The reading nook also offers a record player and gorgeous water views.

Prepare meals and beach snacks in the well-appointed kitchen, equipped with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. When you're ready to eat, gather around the welcoming table in the dining area. Start your day sipping coffee on the porch with a full view of Puget Sound and the Alki boardwalk. A firepit, ample seating, and gas grill await on the patio. In the yard, you'll find a gas grill and picnic table - perfect for a sunlit al fresco meal. This relaxing retreat is steps from the Alki Beach Volleyball courts as well as numerous eateries and pubs. Spend the day tide-pooling or take in breathtaking sunsets at one of the fire pits along the beach!

The passenger-only water taxi at Seacrest Ferry Dock is less than a mile away. Grab the free shuttle or skate, bike, or walk to it as bikes are allowed on-board. Enjoy the stunning views of downtown Seattle as the water taxi transports you to Colman Dock. Then stroll to popular attractions like Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, historic Pioneer Square, and the sports stadiums (Century Link and T-Mobile Park). There is the bustling West Seattle shopping district - The Junction (home of Easy Street Records, Husky Deli, Bakery Nouveau, etc) for a local experience.

Our vacation was spent listening to records, sitting at the beach and visiting Pike place market. If you are a fan of all things vintage, this place is perfect for you!

A Challenging House
The location and view was great, the beds were comfortable aside from the yucky things I found on the sheets. There were more stairs that anticipated that were a bit treacherous for my small kids. In the house the floor levels changed all over the house causing me to trip and nearly fall so accessibility of the house is not very good at all. There were tons of broken toys in the beach bin which is understandable but would have been nice if they had just been thrown away. We were only provided with a partial roll of toilet paper with no spares in the house and told it was our responsibility to replace it which I found to be ridiculous for a place we were paying to stay at. Luckily the property manager had some sent to the house. This is not a place I would stay again primarily due to the inaccesibility of the house.

EXCELLENT STAY- highly recommend!
This might be the best VRBO house we have stayed in and we travel quite a bit. It is cozy, eclectic, and charming. We are so glad we had the opportunity to stay here. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect. There were 6 of us- 2 parents, 4 "kids" (21, 18, 16, and 13).

Best House!
This was our first time renting a house in Seattle. All the music culture was so cool to see. You can play vinyl records and see a bunch of different music posters. The fire was all set up for us all we had to do was light it! I highly recommend this house for families.

Groovy Beach Home
I come over to West Seattle monthly for diving. I stay in this unit for several reasons - first and foremost, it is cool. If you recall the Grunge explosion, this will be like sleeping in nostaglia. Excellent and eclectic records collection. It is close the restaurants (walking distance) and on the beach. Recommend it for anyone.

Hidden Treasure
The approach to the property was sketchy with the address on a stump by the road which took a while to find. The front porch furniture had seen better days. There was no house number on the house. There was a lock box so we tried it. It took several tries to work. Inside was welcoming, clean and housed the owners collection of albums, posters, books, videos and two turntables to play the music. All of the modern amenities were there: a TV in each bedroom, kitchen supplies and towels, washer and dryer. It was a fun place to stay that broke the tradition of white sterile vrbos. We enjoyed our stay very much. Very comfortable I can see why the host Luis rated highly. Highly recommend! Thank you!

Wonderful (and musically mind-blowing) beachside cottage
This was a truly beautiful beachside cottage in a fantastic location. Very cosy, but spacious too. Comfortable beds, TVs in every room, big dining table, and everything you need in the kitchen. The laundry was a godsend. And it is full of the very coolest music memorabilia!! Seriously, amazing. Was in awe of it all. Oh, plus the views from the cottage are spectacular, especially when the mountains are out. Would have loved to spend more time here, a week wasn't long enough.

Music and Love for Artists!
How generous and wonderful to have such a collection of music and posters surrounding us at this oldest standing Beach House on Alki. There was such a feeling of love for the Pacific Northwest history of the music scene. We are Seattlelites and this was an absolute treasure of the location to land on. Will be back again!

We had so much fun at the house. Beautiful location and easy to get to. Unfortunately the owner is a rental company which didn't allow for any flexibility or easy contact, but it was a great property. So cozy and unique

Nice view
I did not have a good experience. When we arrived there was NO extra toilet paper - no bedding for the hide a way bed - remote for main living room TV was missing - only one set of towels for a 3 day stay with 6 people. I called the number provided to report the missing necessities on Saturday morning and we NEVER was provided the linens or toilet paper.CSR who took my call assured me someone would call before arriving with essentials. NO ONE ever called or came by.

Amazing Experience
This property was everything advertised and more. While the cottage had comfortable beds and furniture and provided nice living space and amenities, the view of the Sound was excellent and the cottage itself was an amazing experience - from the memorabilia that you could spend hours and hours enjoying to the vinyl record collection and excellent sound systems to enjoy them on - we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come again!

Amazing views. Great owner. Lives up to the advertising.
Highly recommend this property. Beautiful views. Wonderful artistry and memorabilia. Brought me back to the good ol days in Seattle where music was thriving, people were happy to say hello and not a care in the world. It was exactly what we needed and feel very grateful for the hospitality shown. We look forward to a return stay. We also look forward to enjoying meals at easy street records. Please do consider this property. You will not be let down! We do recommend if you add nights to your reservation to make sure Turnkey is aware even though they extend your stay. We unfortunately got locked out twice. Thankfully the technicians were on it and in there within no time.
