Our stay at Alki Beach was wonderful. The house had a great view of the sound, especially from the deck that faces right at the water. It was fantastic for sunsets and watching ferries floating by (day or night). Shauna and Ben also have a nice chaise lounge facing the windows where you could curl up and read, getting the same fantastic view. The rest of the house was furnished very nicely. It was very clean and modern, with just enough character. Location-wise, it was a cool place to stay if you wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city - a nice beach neighborhood with easy parking and local restaurants and shops. This place must be clutch during the warmer months. What's also nice is you can take the ferry right to Pike Place Market; or, if you're driving, it's pretty quick to get to the busier city neighborhoods. Best of all, Shauna and Ben were great hosts, very responsive and accommodating. They gave us some great tips and were easy to communicate with. We'd definitely stay here again with summer coming along!
