About this property

Spacious view apartment that is the ground floor of an occupied private home on quiet dead end street. Watch the ferries go by from the large private view patio with French doors. It's well known that summers in Seattle are incredible but fall and winter storms can be spectacular to watch from The Lookout as they forge their way across Puget Sound. With it's heated floors and covered patio The Lookout is the perfect place to cozy up and watch the Northwest seasons change.

It is a short walk from The Lookout to the following:
- Buses to downtown Seattle
(Easy access to stadiums for Mariners, Sounders, Seahawks)

Sorry but no smoking inside or out, and no pets.

PLEASE NOTE: Seattle is a very progressive (some might say aggressive) recycle-conscious community. Detailed instructions for how to separate waste and receptacles for each type of waste are located in the unit. We understand that it may be a little confusing at first but with just a little effort, and reading, it's actually pretty easy to accomplish. If after your stay we feel an honest attempt hasn't been made to separate the waste we may deduct a portion of your deposit. If we don't separate it we get nasty notes and even fines from the city. Thank you in advance for your efforts!

Amazing view

We arrived at the Outlook tired from a long flight from the UK and walked down the path to the most mesmerising view - then spent many hours over the next few days just watching the ever changing scene. The Outlook is in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood, but its easy to get into Seattle via a 10 minute walk to the C line bus, which runs every 10 mins throughout the day. Kristi and Pat are gracious hosts, and answered our queries very quickly. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return before too long.

Wonderful Short Stay + No Cleaning Fee!

We got lucky and the night we arrived it was clear skies so we got to see the gorgeous sunset framed by the Olympic Mountains. (Other two nights were the typical wet, Seattle-gray skies, no mountain views.) Bed was good and you get a view while laying in it. Kitchenette great for breakfasts and reheating leftovers. Shower had good water pressure. Really great location. Quiet neighborhood. The place just felt cozy. The garden was in full bloom (spring visit). Heads up: the owners do live upstairs and, yes, you can hear them. If you're looking for a romantic getaway this isn't the place I would recommend. BUT! If you are like us, visiting a short time, perhaps one of you has a conference to attend then this is soooooooo much better than a hotel. Think of it more like a BnB atmosphere where you get to know the owners a bit (they were wonderful). You don't get breakfast served, but you may end up taking home some bay leaves and rosemary. =) The no cleaning fee is what made staying here a huge bonus for us. Normally the cleaning fee kills 2-3 night stays at Vrbos because it ends up as expensive as a hotel or at times even more. We were so happy to have had the chance to enjoy our cozy-comfy Vrbo vs. a boring hotel. I recommend taking the water taxi from Alki beach into Seattle. If you sign up for their app then you get 8000 points which covers a ride one way (by some weird luck or more likely a tech glitch, it covered me both ways.) For more info... The Hiking Bookworms

Northern lifhts

Not only was the view over the sound toward the white capped mountains amazing but the aurora borealis put on a great show as well. Hosts were welcoming. Apt was clean with sunset light on the patio. Bed was comfortable And the kitchenette had the necessary staples. Location was great for me with adult kids in west Seattle.

The Lookout

From the moment I arrived at this hillside home surrounded by beautiful gardens and trees, I felt at peace. Cannot beat the panoramic view. Watch the ferries come and go from the islands. Comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated.
