Charming 100 year old home - 1 Block from Beach Drive

This century old home sits just one block from the historical Beach Drive - Alki Beach! We just finished renovating the kitchen in February 2020! Not only close to the beach but close to coffee shops, many restaurants, and a fun park with play structure and tennis courts. With a short drive or water taxi to downtown Seattle, this home is the perfect vacation stay for a family or 2 couples. No need for a car on this vacation if you want to explore the city by bike and by water. The West Seattle Water Taxi is 2.5 miles down the boardwalk. The main floor has a queen sized bed and full bath while the downstairs has a king bed, and a 3/4 bath with shower. There's also a single bed in a nook perfect for a child/young teen. Alki Beach is a very popular Seattle destination. *There is not designated parking for this home. It's first come, first serve, street parking.

{ Check out our 5 star rating on our other beach house located on Three Tree Point in Burien #582048. }
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

What a lovely, charming home. We really enjoyed our stay. House was spotlessly clean, lots of cute-beachy touches. A quick walk to the beach and all of the restaurants. Parking is ALWAYS an issue at Alki, but we managed to get a space in front or near the home while we were there. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed 3 nights at this charming historic beach cottage in Alki and really enjoyed it. The cottage is very comfortable and the location is amazing. We walked to great restaurants just one block away and enjoyed the proximity to Alki beach. We rented e-bikes near by at Wheel Fun bike rentals and did a nice bike ride along the waterfront and up to Hamilton Point. For breakfast check out Ampersand Cafe and for dinner we enjoyed Harry's and Driftwood. All within easy walking distance. Street parking only but generally found parking in front of the cottage.

The listing was everything it said it would be! The house itself was very clean and well appointed with every convenience we could want. Beds were very comfortable. It has its 100 year old house quirks, which we are used to living in a 100 year old house ourselves. The location could not be beat - steps from the Alki beach, shops and restaurants. Public transportation is super easy from the house as well. Thank you so much for making our family vacation perfect!

Super charming bungalow! Lots of space, open and airy, and very nicely decorated -- bohemian chic! Great location right near Alki beach and restaurants. Owners are very responsive. Only thing is parking is very tight and limited on the street, had to circle many times to find a space.

Lovely house very well stocked with everything u needed to enjoy your time at the beach. Parking can be a bit challenging on hot summer weekends but week days we’re not an issue. Only had a couple questions during our stay and when I texted I the host responded promptly. Thanks so much for everything

Great stay!

Cute, well appointed and well provisioned with a great location, this is one of our favorite stays. Outstanding public transportation to downtown Seattle, up the street around West Seattle or just walk a block to the beach and bars/restaurants, this is a fabulous location. We had several questions over the months leading up to our stay and a couple while staying there and the response was immediate. We can't recommend this place enough!
