Welcome to Alki Beach, Seattle's birthplace, and home of the historic Alki cottage. Built in 1907 and recently updated, this cottage is one of the original West Seattle beach houses. Detailed with memorabilia, this two-story bungalow celebrates Seattle's legendary music scene. Enjoy Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views from your front porch and throughout the house. Launch paddle boards or kayaks directly across the street. You'll find the extensive walking and bike path along Alki here as well. When you're ready to go sightseeing or take in a game, hop on the water taxi for a scenic ride across Elliott Bay to Seattle's waterfront and downtown! Styled with an amazing array of memorabilia, the living room is a music lover's dream! Choose an album to play from the well-stocked collection. Or settle in on the sleeper sofa and watch a movie on the 58-inch Smart TV. The reading nook also offers a record player and gorgeous water views.

Prepare meals and beach snacks in the well-appointed kitchen, equipped with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. When you're ready to eat, gather around the welcoming table in the dining area. Start your day sipping coffee on the porch with a full view of Puget Sound and the Alki boardwalk. A firepit, ample seating, and gas grill await on the patio. In the yard, you'll find a gas grill and picnic table - perfect for a sunlit al fresco meal. This relaxing retreat is steps from the Alki Beach Volleyball courts as well as numerous eateries and pubs. Spend the day tide-pooling or take in breathtaking sunsets at one of the fire pits along the beach!

The passenger-only water taxi at Seacrest Ferry Dock is less than a mile away. Grab the free shuttle or skate, bike, or walk to it as bikes are allowed on-board. Enjoy the stunning views of downtown Seattle as the water taxi transports you to Colman Dock. Then stroll to popular attractions like Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum, historic Pioneer Square, and the sports stadiums (Century Link and T-Mobile Park). There is the bustling West Seattle shopping district - The Junction (home of Easy Street Records, Husky Deli, Bakery Nouveau, etc) for a local experience.

Interesting but not recommended

The location was nice and the record collection was amazing. Overall, the home is very old and the condition reflects that. Lacking in privacy, and the noise from Alki Way is loud.

Retro beach house

Great location across the street from the water. Plenty of room for our teen boys to lounge around the house. Great music memorabilia throughout the property. Borrowed some bikes to get to a beach bar down the street.

A Challenging House

The location and view was great, the beds were comfortable aside from the yucky things I found on the sheets. There were more stairs that anticipated that were a bit treacherous for my small kids. In the house the floor levels changed all over the house causing me to trip and nearly fall so accessibility of the house is not very good at all. There were tons of broken toys in the beach bin which is understandable but would have been nice if they had just been thrown away. We were only provided with a partial roll of toilet paper with no spares in the house and told it was our responsibility to replace it which I found to be ridiculous for a place we were paying to stay at. Luckily the property manager had some sent to the house. This is not a place I would stay again primarily due to the inaccesibility of the house.

Fun place!

Amazing media collection, nice view and yard, a stone’s throw from Alki. What more could you want? Oh fun, music memorabilia in every room?! Check! A must stay for any music fan.

EXCELLENT STAY- highly recommend!

This might be the best VRBO house we have stayed in and we travel quite a bit. It is cozy, eclectic, and charming. We are so glad we had the opportunity to stay here. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect. There were 6 of us- 2 parents, 4 "kids" (21, 18, 16, and 13).

Best House!

This was our first time renting a house in Seattle. All the music culture was so cool to see. You can play vinyl records and see a bunch of different music posters. The fire was all set up for us all we had to do was light it! I highly recommend this house for families.

Wonderful time.

This historic property was like sleeping in a Seattle rock museum. Many amenities were also provided. Everything was clean and the view was amazing. I would recommend this property to friends or people coming to visit the beautiful city of seattle.

Historic Alki Home

I really don’t have words to describe how cool this house is. It is truly evident how much love has gone into the home. The walls are covered floor to ceiling with fascinating music memorabilia. Everywhere you looked there was something new to see. We wished we’d had more time to check out each nook and cranny and listen to more of the fantastic vinyl collection. The location is wonderful with a gorgeous view.! The beds were super comfy. The amenities were great. Thank you, Matt and Connon for getting us straightened out with being able to play music. Everything was perfect and we had a wonderful time.!

Great home in a great location!

My family and I loved the home and the area. Please remember that this is a 100+ year home and as such there are some creaks. The home overall has all the amenities needed. The WiFi was great. There was one day that it did go out due to maintenance but the owner came over and explained. I would definitely recommend!

Groovy Beach Home

I come over to West Seattle monthly for diving. I stay in this unit for several reasons - first and foremost, it is cool. If you recall the Grunge explosion, this will be like sleeping in nostaglia. Excellent and eclectic records collection. It is close the restaurants (walking distance) and on the beach. Recommend it for anyone.

Hidden Treasure

The approach to the property was sketchy with the address on a stump by the road which took a while to find. The front porch furniture had seen better days. There was no house number on the house. There was a lock box so we tried it. It took several tries to work. Inside was welcoming, clean and housed the owners collection of albums, posters, books, videos and two turntables to play the music. All of the modern amenities were there: a TV in each bedroom, kitchen supplies and towels, washer and dryer. It was a fun place to stay that broke the tradition of white sterile vrbos. We enjoyed our stay very much. Very comfortable I can see why the host Luis rated highly. Highly recommend! Thank you!
