We stayed at the Dragonfly Beach House for a few days mid-August and really enjoyed our time there. Originally, our group of four had booked a different one of Laura's Seattle locations; however, when the current guest asked for an extension on their stay for that location, Laura messaged us to ask if we would be willing to switch to the Dragonfly. She was very sweet about it and we did not mind the small change in plans.

The house is just as gorgeous and spotless in person as it looks in the pictures. We were only a block(ish) away from the water and could hear the waves quietly lapping at the beach when we had the windows open at night. Everything in the house has been well thought out with guests' needs, wants, and comfort in mind-- there are soft throws in a basket in the living room, plush robes in each of the closets, and when you're looking for utensils/cookware/anything in the kitchen, they are all right where you'd expect them to be. This place is so welcoming and a great place to return to after a day exploring the city.

The streets are one-lane, which was interesting to navigate when we first arrived well after dark, but they're much less intimidating during the day. There are also a decent number of stairs leading up to the front door, so if you're traveling with someone who has mobility issues, keep that in mind. Our rental car was a Chevy Sonic, which is a pretty small-sized car, and it juuust fit inside the Dragonfly's street-level, open garage. We were excited about that since we had been prepared to park a street or two over in case it didn't fit. (:

Alki Beach is such a short walk away (although there's plenty of parking if you want to drive instead) and the many restaurants along the water looked inviting. The Pacific Northwest is very dog friendly and I will admit to fawning over several pupsters while accompanying my friends to get their morning coffee.

To recap, Laura was fantastic with answering our texts promptly and thoroughly, has created a beautiful beach-adjacent home, and was an important part in making our inaugural trip to Seattle amazing. We really wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy everything this location has to offer (we're envious of those in the guestbook who wrote they'd stayed a month!) and we highly recommend the Dragonfly Beach House as an awesome home base for your adventures.
