Photos and Description of the Seattle vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 8)

You couldn't ask for a more convenient location! Our home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood at the north end of beautiful West Seattle. Walk 1/2-block up the street for a spectacular panoramic view of the moon over Elliot Bay, the Space Needle, and the downtown skyline.

Our location offers quick access to Safeco Field for Mariner's baseball!

This 1920's home is a classic gem. From the white picket fence out front to the soaring coved ceilings, many small details lend to its charm. With a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace, large dining room, and a kitchen with breakfast nook, it's the perfect home-away-from-home for your entire family. The house has 4 bedrooms and one full bath and sleeps up to eight guests. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor: one with a queen and one with two twin beds. One upstairs bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and twin-sized daybed, the other has one twin. A portable crib is available upon request. Towels and linens are provided, as well as basic kitchen gear, coffee, and tea, wireless high-speed internet, cable tv, and a washer/dryer.

The Moonlight Guest House is located just 10 minutes from downtown Seattle. You will be just a few blocks away from the start of Harbor Ave, which is perfect for jogging, walking, biking and rollerblading to Alki Beach (Seattle's premiere beach). There is also a convenient water taxi (walk on ferry) to take you from the beach to downtown Seattle. The location also features easy bus access to downtown.

Within a few blocks of our house you will find a nice variety of restaurants and cafe/diners such as Luna Park Cafe, one of the best breakfast diners in Seattle. The Skylark features pub fare and live music on the weekends as does The Bridge, all within walking distance from our house. And you are a short drive to Alki Beach where you'll find a myriad of fine and casual dining choices.

This is the perfect jumping-off point for fantastic sightseeing, museums, the Pike Place Market, the Seattle Center (which houses the Pacific Science Center, Experience Music Project and Space Needle) Aquarium, Zoo, fine restaurants, ferries, and all of the hiking, skiing, and outdoor adventure that our surrounding mountains have to offer.

About Laura and Joe Ross

Having both owned houses before we married in February of 2009, we decided to try the vacation rental business rather than sell either. Our first guests were Laura's family, in town for the wedding. Since then, with Joe's work as a musician and dancer and our joint project of raising our two sons, we are plenty busy! However, we take pride in putting our visitors first and have really enjoyed meeting our guests and sharing the city we love with them.

Laura and Joe Ross purchased this house in 2008

Home Away from Home

5 of 5
Submitted: March 7, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
What a treasure for a traveller! The house is filled with wonderful love, energy and generosity. I longed to come home to it every night for the warmth and relaxation within its walls. Its in the perfect neighborhood about 5 minute drive to downtown Seattle. I also loved taking the bus to go get food at Pike Place Market. I loved cooking in the house which for me is very unusual since I love eating out in new cities I visit, but after seeing the eye popping fresh food at the market I felt inspired to cook meals in the beautiful, warm house-it was the perfect match. Which in turn made me start to feel like it was "home"! This rarely if ever happens when I am staying in rentals, hotels ect. while traveling. The house is fully stocked with every type of dish, pan, wine bottle opener, coffee maker, ect., it even had basic condiments! Everything in the house, every detail is so generously and thoroughly thought out by the owners to provide maximum comfort and warmth. The backyard is really beautiful and sweet. I just loved it! I actually felt sad to leave, but I feel so good knowing that whenever I visit Seattle I have a "home" to come to. I especially want to thank Laura and her husband for creating such an inspired, generous loving environment for travelers-a rare gem!

The Real Deal

Submitted: February 21, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The owners of this great old house have everything ready for guests to enjoy their stay. The updates needed fit perfect and the original fixtures make it so nice and create a feeling of escape in Seattle. Very nice, personable owners that where always there for us through the whole booking and stay. The kids loved it, we loved it, can't wait to get back to those wood floors and cold, wet Seattle! Good shower head too! Hit California Ave. ...The West 5 for sure...
THANK YOU

We had a very nice time in West Seattle and the place was warm and comfortable. It was temporary housing for our move to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We loved it!

Excellent Spot

5 of 5
Submitted: October 17, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Two families stayed here, both will small children. The place was in good shape, very clean and there was enough space for all of us. The owner met us and was very helpful. The location is fantastic. It's a very short car ride over to downtown, the Mariners and Seahawks. West Seattle is very cool, California Avenue has some great restaurants and pubs. We spent some time just driving around the neighborhoods, its all good. Be sure to hit the Luna Park Cafe for breakfast and beer, the kids loved the Batman ride.

Clean and well furnished

Submitted: October 14, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We were pleasurably surprised with the cottage and the accomodations. The cottage was clean and well maintianed and everything for an enjoyable vacation experience was provided, even down to a wlecome basket.

The owners are also very friendly and hospitable, being available if we needed them but not at all intrusive.

The only negative experiece was getting bitten by some kind in insect but the effect was temporary.

I would certainly give this place a 'thumbs up'.
