Mardy and Kate cottage is a great experience and I highly recommend it for those wanting to stay in Seattle without being downtown. There are peaceful walks to the beach, and you can see the ocean from the cottage upstairs window. The cottage itself is in great condition and well stocked up for a long stay like ours. This is a great place to stay if you like going for walks with many great beach restaurants and activities in walking distance. I would recommend it to anyone staying in west Seattle!
