We traveled with my Mom, an 86-year old with mobility problems, our 1-year old son, my 12-year old daughter and my husband and I. Talk about challenging needs for a home and host to meet, but the house exceeded our expectations and Carter, as you will read from numerous other reviews, is FANTASTIC. He went 1,000% above and beyond for us. He secured a pack-n-play from a friend so we wouldn't have to schlep ours; he put out an extra bed for us, gave us great recommendations on things to do in the area and even helped point us in the direction of a great rental car. And, that's not all: we arrived to a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, a teddy bear for the baby and rubber duckies in the tub.

Let me describe the house and amenities: fabulous. You wake to glorious views and, in the evenings, Mother Nature didn't disappoint. Picturesque sunsets behind the Olympic mountains. The patio which has reclining chairs plus 2 tables is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, & has an unobstructed view of Elliot bay/Puget sound.

The master bath is a hedonist's dream. The waterfall shower was a delight, but selfishly I enjoyed the Jacuzzi tub almost daily. R & R for the traveler or anyone in need of some relaxation. The view of the sound from the tub is perfect.

The big screen TV in the living room is wonderful for movie watching which my daughter was thrilled about. There's Xfinity On Demand so movie options are very good.

The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, supplies, cookware. We cooked almost daily.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful with EASY access to everywhere. 25 - 30 min from the airport. 15 - 20 min from Seattle. We had family in West Seattle, so that's why we stayed there. Having stayed 10 days, I wouldn't change a thing. I am glad we chose this location, as opposed to the city proper.

We drove to Snoqualmie Falls which was a great and easy drive. We trekked a bit up Mt. Ranier which was breathtakingly beautiful. Visited all the touristy places also: Pike Place Market, The Chihuly Glass museum { LOVED IT. Worth a visit whether you know his work or not. If you don't you SHOULD. :-) }, Experience Music Project, the Needle, etc. Took an Argosy cruise.

The best part about this trip, besides the house and Carter, was being surrounded by so many lovely vistas and so much nature !

If you can stay here, you won't be disappointed !
