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)
- Fauntleroy Ferry dock

- 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).

EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Wonderful property! The Lookout was clean, quite, comfortable, and had an awesome view of the sound. The host was communicative and responsive. When returning to Seattle I would not stay anywhere else if the Lookout was available. We are so appreciative the hosts have opened their home to share with others! What a treat to experience this wonderful location! The property is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of trees, shrubs, and garden areas and overall felt very serene and safe. We are already looking forward to our next stay at the Lookout!

Gorgeous Sunsets
The Lookout is a lovely unit and very appropriately named. We stayed for 3 nights after an Alaska cruise, so that we could enjoy a little more of Seattle. Location is an easy 20ish min drive to Seattle. The furnishings are comfy. The Lookout is a wonderful cozy place to return to after exploring during the day. Our favorite part of staying here was the spectacular sunsets that can be viewed from the covered patio. Owners are very responsive and easy to communicate with. Hope to get a chance to come back again some day. We have already recommended to friends.

Pros and Cons
This property was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed at. The Sunset in Puget Sound was awesome... Everything was clean and presentable. The amenities were excellent.. My wife and I were more than impressed... However, just a few things for the owners to think about. 1. The curtains on the glass doors need to be full sized to fit the entire glas area and dark enough to allow watching TV in the evenings with the afternoon sun shining in off the bay.. 2. Need a Screen on the bedroom window and no air conditioning. 3. A little larger refrigerator. 4. The toilet water does not shut off all the time when flushed. I found that the chain holding the flapper in the tank was too long and blocking the flapper. 4. Now I know there is nothing the owners can do but the streets were quite narrow and parking was haphazard... Now don't get me wrong even with this little bit of nit picking the rental was absolutely amazing. This is just suggestions not criticisms.

The property was comfortable and had a gorgeous view. We felt safe didn't have to share our life with neighbors. Only negative was that it wasn't really set up to cook meals in. Great for breakfast and lunch, but luckily we went out with friends for dinners. Everyone should get a reservation at La Rustica in Alki Beach. Not far away and a real find. It was so good we had dinner there two nights. So we didn't miss cooking our own dinners. The flowers are abundant and beautiful. A very nice VRBO to visit beautiful West Seattle.

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
