I rented this house for a week in July while we were looking at colleges for my twin sons. I chose this property over others listed here because of the price (which is a great value, especially when we considered what it would cost for 8 people in a hotel for a week) so I really wasn't concerned about any of the amenities or the size of the property. I figured as long as the home was in a nice, safe area that was good enough for me. Boy was I pleasently surprised!!! First of all the house is beautiful, full of character and charm and it is MUCH larger than it looks in the pictures! With spacious bedrooms that easily fit 4 teenagers and two nice sized bedrooms on the first floor. All the rooms were big enough to accomodate our large group comfortably and the bonus was the big basement with its own shower! We could send the kids down there when we wanted quiet and have the boys shower down there so they didn't hog the bathroom. It was great! There was a lovely backyard which my two youngest loved with an awesome view of the mountain. Loved it!! The area is great and after seeing all of seattle we prefered it to anywhere else. It is quiet, near everything you could want including an easy drive to the Water Taxi and the beaches. It is also a short walk to the busstop if you prefer and we used both means of transportation to get around. It was a piece of cake, even with 5 kids in tow. Laura and Joe are very nice people, and came to introduce themselves and offer any help after we arrived. Joe was helpful with a question I had to cal him with about some directions and Laura was very kind and returned my security deposit the same day we left the property which was great! All in all it was an awesome stay and I cannot wait to go back!
