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, Close to Beach, No cleaning fee. Low monthly winter rates.

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/arena for Mariners, Sounders, Seahawks & Storm)
- 3 neighborhood restaurants/bakery
- Lincoln Park and outdoor saltwater pool (pool open Memorial Day to Labor Day only)

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).

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

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.

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

Really is as good as it looks
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lookout. The apartment was clean, comfortable, warm, updated, quiet, private, and with a killer view of Puget Sound. The location was convenient to restaurants in Endolyne; it's super close to the Fauntleroy ferry (which we took for a fun night out on Vashon Island); and close to Lincoln park for a fun walk along the beach. The hosts--Kristi and Pat--were super fast on communication and very helpful with their suggestions. We hope to return here on our next visit to West Seattle.

Morning coffee and a view!
We had a wonderful experience staying here. Such a cozy and pleasant time. We really enjoyed waking up and relaxing with this great view. I looked forward to getting up and spending some time with my books over some breakfast each day. Property owners maintain this place well keeping it very clean, organized, and stocked. The neighborhood is also very quiet and parking was easy. There’s a nice path that takes you right down to the beach with a bench where I was able to enjoy some more reading. Ferry access was an absolute breeze as the loading pier was just right down the street. We were really happy to be just south of the hustle n bustle of the city as we came from oregon and had more plans out of town. We would definitely stay here again. 10/10!

Lovely fall getaway
My partner and I stayed at The Lookout for a long weekend in October. Everything about it met or exceeded the online listing and reviews. We wanted somewhere quiet and out of the way to relax and recharge. The Lookout was the perfect spot for this. The view was spectacular, and the accommodations cozy, comfortable, and inviting. We wanted for nothing during our stay. The hosts have thoughtfully anticipated guest needs and stocked the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom with a variety of items to make your stay more comfortable. We used public transportation during our visit and found it easy to walk to the C-Line bus stop to get into the city. The charming neighborhood along the way was an added bonus. I can't say enough good things about our visit. We hope to return again someday. Thanks Oat and Kristi for opening up your little slice of paradise to others.

A must stay in every way!
I booked this location for my sister who was visiting the Seattle area from Florida. It was perfect for her to stay on her own. The property was at the end of a very secluded street making her feel very secure. The view from the property was incredible, overlooking the water and the hill on which the property resides. From the perspective of a Floridian, it was not a hill but referred to it as "a mountain" :) The property was clean and well stocked with basic needs. The brief opportunity I had to meet with our host Kristi was wonderful; she was very kind. I would absolutely recommend this location to anyone visiting the area.
