" Captain's Quarters", at Sylvanrude, Lakebay WA

AkselRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Victorias place was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The Captains Quarters are a must stay place if you’re in long branch/lakebay. It felt like we were truly a captain of a ship, especially since the view was absolutely amazing. Victoria was so responsive, kind, and gave local recommendations. The private beach is even more gorgeous than the pictures, and it felt like a getaway from home. Our only regret is that we didn’t do more on the property! Would definitely stay here again. Props to Victoria and the amazing space!

Waterfront View Daylight 1-Bedroom Apartment

ToniAnnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was truly one of the most relaxing weekends we’ve had in quite a long time. We met Sara & Jerry upon our arrival- they were very warm & made us feel comfortable right away. The apartment is perfect for a couple that wants to get away to a beautifully serene, relaxing, & quiet place. The apartment is comfortable & decorated very well. Sara keeps the grounds a gorgeous sanctuary for birds & bees. On a few occasions we even got to see the Bald Eagle couple that like to nest in one of the very tall trees of the property. It was so nice to wake up to a stunning view each morning & just enjoy the view. The stars are out at night so bright & if you ask, Jerry will leave you a little fire wood if you’d like to sit down by the little fire pit they have. Sara & Jerry are both kind, gracious, & hospitable people with a great love for the island & their community. Highly recommend!

Fox Island Waterfront Retreat with Amazing View

TiffanyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay! The home had everything we needed: a full kitchen, clean bathroom, two comfy bedrooms, two cozy sitting rooms, and a washer/dryer—which was a huge help with our baby. It was fully stocked with fresh linens, towels, and blankets. The outdoor patio with a fire pit and stunning water views was a perfect place to relax. Jill and Gregg were wonderful hosts—warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Jill even greeted us with homemade brownies and a bottle of wine! The house is family-friendly and included a pack and play, which made traveling with our 4-month-old so much easier. If you’re visiting the Fox Island or Gig Harbor area, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem. We would absolutely stay here again!

Seaside Modern Apartment

DianaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay in Vashon was lovely! My friend and I had a bit of a rough start to our travel, and Joseph was incredibly responsive and accommodating to the light chaos that landed in our lap the first day. Our car arrangements unexpectedly fell through, and I must mention that a car is necessary, both for the transport to and from the ferry terminal and to any sightseeing destinations on the island. The unit was pristine, with a gorgeous fireplace and views that can't be beat - Seattle graced us with some spectacular weather, and I spent most of my time outside while we were there. The amenities in the unit were fantastic, and the welcome guide had a lot of great recommendations by the host of places to eat and see while on the island. The towel warmer in the bathroom and white noise machines in both bedrooms were a nice touch :-)

RiverSide House, patio, garden, 9 mins to Airport

AprilRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This house was perfect for our family of 8! We came to Alaska a few days before our cruise and everything we needed was there, even down to the step stool needed for the little one. Our group ranged from 4 to mid-60s and the accommodations were perfect for all ahead groups. Mila provided very clear instructions and because we had everything we needed there wasn't a need to reach out to her beyond that. Convenient location, beautiful backyard space, quiet area...our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay, highly recommend!

Eagle's Lookout Lodge w/ Hot Tub

RyanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an amazing stay at the Eagle's Lookout Lodge! The place is so cozy and comfortable and the views inside and outside are stunning! We loved the different spaces to play and hang out in. The deck is magical, and is perfect for those hot and sunny days as you're nestled in beautiful shaded trees. We loved eating outside and having quiet evening chats around the fire pit. Melissa was very responsive and available for any needs or questions, and there were some real lovely personal touches to the place and experience. I can't wait to come back!

Gorgeous Renton home with hot tub on Cedar River

MarenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is my second time back to Jeff’s place - I came once with my girlfriends and had to come back with my family for a weekend staycation. The family was just as charmed as me - couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful, peaceful views and how comfy everything was. We had everything we needed to cook a nice dinner and loved relaxing in the hot tub in the evening. It was exactly what we needed after a stressful week and we will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Ron’s place. We were visiting our son and family and were very close to their home. We had a spectacular view of the sound from the condo. Having a washer/dryer wasn’t something we thought we would need but it ended up coming in handy before we left. Ron responded to our texts very promptly. Would highly recommend Ron’s place to anyone visiting the area.

We loved our stay in Seattle, and this property was excellent for our family of three. Our 7 year old took the couch and we had a grand old time walking around the area and watching the sun set on the water. It was very clean and had great instructions for all areas of the property. We felt safe knowing our car was secured and we were in a great area. Wonderful experience!

Waterfront 2BD Next to Pike Place w/ Private Patio

BarryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We absolutely loved our stay at this apartment! The location is fantastic—easily walkable to many of Seattle’s top sights, yet tucked in a spot that felt peaceful and relaxing. The apartment was beautifully set up for our three-generation family of six, with plenty of space, a great kitchen, and thoughtful touches throughout. One of our favorite features was the patio with a view of the water—a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. For the location and amenities, this was a great value. Our trip was relatively short, but we’re already hoping to come back and stay longer. Highly recommended!

Waterfront Wonderful… just steps to Pike Place Mkt

LeoraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fantastic! We have travelled to Seattle many times and stayed at most of the best hotels. However, we planned to start this trip with a camping/fishing trip, and thought that an Air B&B (with a washer) would be best this time around. I fretted about the choose to the last minute. I thought that I would miss the views, but I was pleasantly surprised. We LOVED the location!! It was perfect. The condo was great. The pictures do not do the condo justice. It was lovely and more affordable than a hotel suite. The host was awesome. 5 stars all around!

2-bdrm Waterfront Downtown Seattle

EduardoRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had a great stay at this condo! The host provided very thorough check-in instructions and was excellent with communication throughout my visit. The condo was spotless and well-maintained, making it a comfortable place to relax. I did pay an extra fee for early check-in, but the front desk staff mentioned early check-in is usually allowed without an additional charge—something to clarify in the future. Overall, a positive experience and I’d definitely consider staying here again.
