We had a great 2 month stay! The beach cottage is small, but mighty! The beaches of Alki are 1 mile away, and we biked there every evening for beach time. My kids loved watching the ferries cross and the sunsets are magical. My only small suggestion would be to add grass to the back yard space (it's currently concrete) and make a little private oasis there. I have fallen in love with West Seattle after this stay!
