My family (my husband, 2.5 year old daughter and I) absolutely LOVED our stay at Courtney’s Alki beach home. We will definitely be back. It is everything we wanted and more.
Courtney is great to work with, extremely fast with her communication and helpful. Checking in was very simple which was a nice way to start our vacation. The keyless entry is easy to navigate and made coming and going throughout our stay flawless. The home was spotless and throughly cleaned, not just surfaced clean, deep cleaned. We were also greeted by a great welcome tray of snacks which we all enjoyed during our beach and Seattle time. I had two inquires for Courtney briefly after our arrival and she responded very fast with great information, I really appreciated her attention to detail and making our stay as relaxing as possible. She even accommodated an early check in for us.
The home is newer construction with top of the line finishes, any kitchen item you might need, ample food storage in the pantry, and comfortable accommodations within seating and the beds. The dining table in the photos shows seating for 4 however there is seating for 6. I believe it’s the same table but has an extension added. If you are traveling with younger kids the home doesn’t have any plastic dinnerware but we always bring stuff for my daughter to be safe so something to account for if you have younger ones and don’t want to risk a broken plate. The bbq on the rooftop was a great plus along with all the tools for it, all of which were spotless.
The rooftop was 100% why we booked this home and it was more breathtaking than any photo could ever show. Courtney’s outdoor furniture is very nice and comfortable. We ate all of our dinners up there and enjoyed wine on the couch until the sunset. A highlight during our time there for sure.
The beds in the home are very comfortable the king in the master is slightly softer than in the other room on the 3rd floor so whatever type of bed you like, firm or soft you’ll be accommodate. The master is quite large with a nice desk and seating area. The chair in that room is different than the image, but is an improvement for sure. The master closet is also really large. The jack n jill master bath is huge with a dual vanity running the length of the room, a private toilet area and a shower/tub combo like Ive never seen. The tub is a nice deep soaker and is separate from the shower while being in the same area (you walk into the shower door into the shower area and the bathtub is right there). It made toddler bath time splashes not an issue ;) The shower was a dual head with a rainfall feature which added to the relaxation component. One thing I would note is while every single window has blinds, they really serve the purpose of privacy and do not block out a huge amount of light. If you’re a sensitive sleeper to light it isn’t like a blacked out hotel room. The room in the front of the home and ground floor would stay darker in general due to trees and home placement though.
There are smart tvs in all bedrooms as well as the living room so if you’re wanting to lounge and watch tv your Hulu, Netflix etc are easy to access.
The home is on a quiet street while being an easy walk to coffee, restaurants, and the beach. We walked it a number of times as parking gets busy during peak times on Alki so having easy parking at the house and walkability was key. Oh and for the beach Courtney does provide a lovely Yeti cooler and two beach chairs.
I can not recommend this rental or Courtney more. I am so happy I found this home for our stay. We will definitely be back again and again. Check out was very easy with minimal things on the checklist. I appreciated the ease of leaving after a great stay without any headache.
THANK YOU COURTNEY!!!
