Why Melissa Rice chose Seattle

Melissa visited Seattle often on business and fell in love with the area. After making several trips to Seattle to check it out to see if it was a good fit for us, we'd decided that Ballard would become home. Ballard is a short drive from Downtown Seattle and is also very easily accessible by public transport. In addition to its proximity to downtown, it has a core business district of its own with unique boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, movie theater and a popular Farmer's Market every Sunday. It sits on the northwestern edge of Seattle, allowing spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and the Puget Sound. Ballard is home to Fisherman's Terminal, The Chittenden Locks and salmon ladder, Golden Gardens Beach, and excellent parks. Our home is situated between Salmon Bay Park and playground and the Loyal Heights Community Center, playground and play field, thereby offering numerous opportunities for recreation and fun play-time with the younger ones. The Nordic Heritage Museum is a short walk from the house all the major Seattle attractions are located within a 10 minute drive.

The value of a Little Red Wagon and Thoughtful, Intuitive Bugalow Owners...

The Rices knew the main purpose of our trip was to visit our daughter and grandchildren and, without our having to ask, they gave us everything we needed to entertain small children at "our place. The Rice's little red wagon, toys, pack-and-play and an excellent tot-lot a block away helped me to re-forge my bond with my twenty-two month old granddaughter--I was worried that my granddaughter would forget us in her move to the west coast. Instead, we got right back to where we left off. The Rices gave me the right tools. It was a wonderful! Many rental owners know the value of a wide screen TV and 400-thread-count sheets--and the Rices know this too--but very few owners know the power of a little red wagon. Their attention to detail is what separates them from the rest. Rent without hesitation--they really want you to be happy in their bungalow.

Melissa and Brain made our stay in Seattle better than anything I could have imagined. We were traveling with a baby for the first time since birth and were a bit nervous about staying in a new place. The Ballard Bungalow proved to be like home. Everything we needed was there. Apart from all the usual creature comforts, Melissa and Brain supplied us with all of the things we needed for our little one (baby gates, diapers, toys, books, stroller, and more)! The place was warm, cozy, and clean. We really felt very comfortable and very well taken care of. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for calm, peaceful stay-away.
Owner's Response: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you and little Pasha again soon!

This was a great place for me to stay while visiting my son and daughter-in-law over the holiday while helping to prepare their apartment for a new baby! I look forward to coming back for grandma visits! It is a very cozy living space, comfortable bedroom and living area. The kitchen works for simple meals or heating meals. The shower is good and the hot tub a great touch. Loved the Spa robe and slippers. Nice touch! The bathroom would benefit from a couple of good hooks for robe, towel, etc. Overall, great space for what I needed. Thanks for allowing my inclusion of my sister from North Carolina for this holiday visit!
Owner's Response: Thanks Quess! We look forward to seeing you again once the baby arrives. We've installed some hooks in the bathroom for you. Thanks for the suggestion. Melissa & Brian

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your "secret garden". We had a great time, except for the rain. You were great hosts. We will probably see you in our next travels.

We have stayed at the Bungalow twice and heartily recommend it. It is exactly as advertised; the guest suite is very private, with its own entrance, and the bed is nice and firm. The neighborhood was friendly, and invited strolling. It was just ten minutes to the Pike market and the Space Needle. The hot tub was awesome. The owners were there, and they were very nice and helpful.

A high school friend and I took our kids to the zoo and stayed at the Ballard Garden Bungalow. Melissa and Brian were amazing hosts. They gave great tips on where to take the kids!
