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 an entertainer 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

AWESOME HOUSE! We were looking for a place where my husband &I & two young children, his mother, sister & brother-in-law could come together after a death in the family. This house was PERFECT! Because of the age of the house and reasonable price, I was a bit nervous to see what we would find when we opened the door. WE LOVED IT! The kids (and adults) ran through the house investigating every little hidden space. The house was immaculate, comfortable, had everything we needed including extra blankets, towels, shampoo, soap, an iron, even extra toothbrushes. We'll never stay in a hotel again when visiting family in West Seattle. Thank you Ross Family for your wonderful hospitality!

Our Thanksgiving spent here was great! A hotel never would have worked so we decided to give a weekend house rental a try. We worried about the size, which wasn’t a problem even though we had 3+ family households. Our two sons and their families made for a full house. But we cooked the turkey with all the trimmings and felt very comfortable. Our most difficult challenge was Seattle’s recycle program which became a laugh when it came to tossing something- “ok-foodwaste? or garbage?” So funny at times. We loved our experience there, easy to find and very close to downtown and the ferry terminals to the islands. We hope to do it again. Thanks Laura and Joe!

This place was perfect for the 5 of us. We are a family of gals who need privacy 'cause on occasion we have a guy around - and this place had a perfect layout for all of us to have that privacy. The home contained all that we needed and more and the location was really very good and very convenient to everything we wanted to do (Mariners game, downtown activities, etc)...We appreciate the accuracy of the website information and the ease of which to access the home. The owner's communcation was perfect and other than Seattle having so much to offer - meaning we were not "home" much so we did not get to explore the neighbourhood - we look forward to returning and doing just that, especially part of the Alki beach area which is very close. Thanks Laura and Joe.

A casual,comfortable home in a quiet and safe neighborhood for my 4 teenagers, my husband and myself to relax, work on our lap tops, watch cable TV, eat from the frig, or take a 6 minute walk to a Starbucs. Easy access to the bus line where my children took it to the University District to meet up with us at the Univ of Washington. Served our needs with a working washer and dryer,and even a basement cloths line. Plenty of room and beds. Mr. and Mrs. Ross responded quickly and informatively to our e-mails. We really enjoyed BEAUTIFUL Seattle. Sincerely, The Zomback's

We needed a space for family members to be together to support an adult son having cancer surgery at Swedish. The house was great - we had separate spaces if we wanted and great gathering places. Our grandsons could squeal and laugh and go for walks and that was wonderful! And Joe and Laura were like extended family in their willingness to make a stressful time as comfortable as possible. Thanks Joe & Laura!

We rented this home for our family that were coming in from out of town for our wedding. The location and size were perfect for our needs and the price was unbeatable! There was plenty of room for everyone to have their space and the back yard offered a beautiful area to sit and visit. Laura and Joe were wonderful, accomodating, easy to contact and work with,we couldn't have asked for a nicer couple. If you are looking for a nice, quiet, centrally located home away from home, this is the place. The neighbors are nice, the area is beautiful and everything is so close by. I would highly recommend this home, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Laura and Joe, it was definitely a pleasure!
