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.

This little one bedroom daylight basement stay is lovely. The view is beautiful and secluded. You will hear the owners walking around, but the view and quiet stay is so worth it!

Perfect Lookout Stay
The Lookout is everything you'd want in a stay. Perfect for 2 people, it offers a rustic charm overlooking the Sound. The hosts were very kind and responsive when needed. We highly recommend this place if youre in the Seattle area.

EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Wonderful property! The Lookout was clean, quite, comfortable, and had an awesome view of the sound. The host was communicative and responsive. When returning to Seattle I would not stay anywhere else if the Lookout was available. We are so appreciative the hosts have opened their home to share with others! What a treat to experience this wonderful location! The property is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of trees, shrubs, and garden areas and overall felt very serene and safe. We are already looking forward to our next stay at the Lookout!

Gorgeous Sunsets
The Lookout is a lovely unit and very appropriately named. We stayed for 3 nights after an Alaska cruise, so that we could enjoy a little more of Seattle. Location is an easy 20ish min drive to Seattle. The furnishings are comfy. The Lookout is a wonderful cozy place to return to after exploring during the day. Our favorite part of staying here was the spectacular sunsets that can be viewed from the covered patio. Owners are very responsive and easy to communicate with. Hope to get a chance to come back again some day. We have already recommended to friends.

The “Lookout” was perfect for us. We relaxed, walked to a great dinner and then enjoyed some wine as we watched a beautiful sunset! Highly recommend staying at the Lookout.

Pros and Cons
This property was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed at. The Sunset in Puget Sound was awesome... Everything was clean and presentable. The amenities were excellent.. My wife and I were more than impressed... However, just a few things for the owners to think about. 1. The curtains on the glass doors need to be full sized to fit the entire glas area and dark enough to allow watching TV in the evenings with the afternoon sun shining in off the bay.. 2. Need a Screen on the bedroom window and no air conditioning. 3. A little larger refrigerator. 4. The toilet water does not shut off all the time when flushed. I found that the chain holding the flapper in the tank was too long and blocking the flapper. 4. Now I know there is nothing the owners can do but the streets were quite narrow and parking was haphazard... Now don't get me wrong even with this little bit of nit picking the rental was absolutely amazing. This is just suggestions not criticisms.

The property was comfortable and had a gorgeous view. We felt safe didn't have to share our life with neighbors. Only negative was that it wasn't really set up to cook meals in. Great for breakfast and lunch, but luckily we went out with friends for dinners. Everyone should get a reservation at La Rustica in Alki Beach. Not far away and a real find. It was so good we had dinner there two nights. So we didn't miss cooking our own dinners. The flowers are abundant and beautiful. A very nice VRBO to visit beautiful West Seattle.
