About this property

Alki Beach Studio Oasis- Quiet Escape & Sweeping Ocean Views. Parking & AC.


Looking to get away from your normal day-to-day household? Need a quiet space to “work from home?” Socially isolate in this quiet studio & walk down to the famous Alki beach or hike at Schmitz Park nearby. Unwind on the deck & watch for whales while enjoying great views of Puget Sound & mountains.

-Washer & Dryer use for stays longer than 4 days, code provided upon request.

Studio is ground level suite (beneath owners personal home that is sometimes rented out to other tenants) . It has its own separate entrance, which is on opposite side of owners entrance for complete privacy. Please make sure all food delivery orders are dropped off at the correct studio entrance on HALLECK Ave.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.) House is located in a steep, hill area-manageable, but challenging for some. We have 9 steps to get up to the studio, so please keep that in mind for your suitcases, elderly and persons with walking disability.
2.) Free street parking on back & side of the house.
3.) We are not beachfront. Our studio is a short walk up the steep hill from the beach, approximately 1 minute walk.
4.) We are a ground level studio suite (approx 400 square feet). Above is our main house where we will either occupy it with our children OR other tenants. So you may hear some footsteps from above. We do have good noise insulation, especially if you close the wooden door in the hallway if the studio suite.

Maximum of 2 guests only. No pets including service animals due to pet dander allergies our daughter has.

Our house was featured in the 2015 issue of the Seattle Times- just to add in that cool factor :)

A great studio with an ocean view.
A well organized, comfortable studio with a lovely ocean view. The host is easy to contact & is super helpful. It is perfect for a couple to enjoy Alki Beach & a trip to Seattle via the nearby ferry.

Top notch beach stay
This spot is incredible!This was the perfect place to start our week long excursion around WA. My partner and I spent two nights here and to say I'm envious of the owners is an absolute understatement. Alki beach / west Seattle is the cutest little neighborhood with every need within minutes. Owners were beyond kind with an entire book of recommendations of restaurants, things to do, and everything else. They broke down each place better than any google search or Yelp review. We visited a few of the recommendations and they were 100% right. The place was very quiet (although the morning crows were a bit noisy) and had everything you could need. We used the beach supplies provided (chairs, bonfire kit, towels) our second night to enjoy a lovely sunset bonfire right on the beach. The heated floors were probably my favorite feature after multiple dips in the water and walks along the beach! They also provided all possible forgotten bathroom needs. You can walk nearly everywhere around here. I will say the street and entry are not for the physically challenged. Steep! inclines and stairs are all around the house and neighborhood; which is to be expected for a beach side area in the PNW. I loved watching the sail boats, ferries, cruise ships, and more every time I looked out the window or walked outside. 10/10

About the host

Hosted by MJ

Host profile image
My husband and I love to travel and have always stayed at short term rentals when we vacationed, so we know what to consider in making our guests feel comfortable. Our goal when traveling was to "live like a local"--shop at the local markets, walk to nearby cafes, restaurants, catch a local live show, and enjoy the nature at each destination we visited.

When we built our dream home, we immediately knew we had to allocate a space that would become a future Beach escape for others to enjoy. We find ourselves enjoying every minute of hosting & one of our favorite aspects of being a host is the ability to meet colorful people from all corners of the world, helping them get acquainted with our community. It's because of our past travels through AIRBNB that piqued our love for hosting and sharing the local living of West Seattle & Alki-- we can't wait to welcome you to our little Beach oasis!

In February of 2016, we took a year off work to travel the world, using Paris as our home base and hub to venture off to other parts of Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. We returned home to Alki in February of 2017, and welcomed our daughter that same year. Our second daughter joined our hosting home in 2020, just before the pandemic happened! So we're now on another adventure- hoping between home here in West Seattle and other parts of the world (as Covid will allow). You may occasionally hear pitter patter of toddler feet upstairs but it's rare for our kids to be on the floor above the studio unit. All our guests' say the studio unit is very quiet and never hear our kids..but we still want to throw that out there just in case...cause, well...kids are kids :)

We will be available to you in any manner you please, so just let us know! I like to give our guests the privacy they deserve, but again love meeting our guests...and would love to meet you if your schedule allows a quick drop in from me, Marian!

Why they chose this property

Our home was custom built to maximize on the views and location of Alki. We took careful consideration of what makes a space functional with limited space.

Home was also featured in the July 2015 issue of The Seattle Times and we're proud of this milestone with our architect and team who made this home/vacation rental possible.

What makes this property unique

Studio has sweeping views of the Puget Sound, Olympic mountains and Islands. We are steps away from the beach, restaurants & transportation yet we're situated in such a tranquil area, you'd never guess we were so close to the beach! Avoid all the Summer beach congestion by simply walking to the beach.
