Guests can also book a single or couples massage across the street at Alki Massage and Wellness Center. Search "Alki View Massage, Seattle" to book your appointment.

We supply binoculars because you never know when you will spot a harbor seal, sea otter, eagle or orca whale swimming by. Every day one can view the marine traffic, from sail boats and pleasure craft to giant ocean-going vessels heading to the Port of Tacoma and back to the Far East. From the patio or sitting inside the living room, one can view across the bay the port cities of Port Orchard and the Naval Shipyard of Bremerton, plus the island of Vashon and Blake.

The elegant living room features gleaming hardwood floors, stunning stone electric fireplace, European chandeliers, amazing art and has a grand piano and unending views of the ocean and sunsets.

The gourmet kitchen is a true chef’s dream with granite counters, stainless steel Viking range and oven, full-size Viking double-door refrigerator and Viking dishwasher, and the kitchen is fully equipped for everything you'll need to prepare a light meal. There is an adjoining dining room with table and 4 velvet chairs, credenza, European chandeliers and a stereo and record player. There is also a TV room off the kitchen and a seating area that has water views of Puget Sound.

If you’re working from home, enjoy the main floor office for your Zoom calls. The office has a desk and chairs and lots of built-in storage.

Glamourous bedroom features hand-carved King-sized bed with elegant crown and luxurious bedding. There's a closet and luggage rack and chest of drawers for your clothing. You'll be amazed at the King-sized sandstone bathroom with amazing shower for two.

Upstairs at the Villa, you'll enjoy a marvelous stone balcony overlooking Puget Sound and the Salish Sea. (Please note, we supply an umbrella but this must be taken down every evening due to high winds. Even on a nice day, the winds can come up unexpectedly and a flying umbrella can be a danger!)

The Villa features gleaming marble floors, an amazing stone electric fireplace, and beautiful golden chandeliers and European light fixtures. Compact kitchen features granite countertops, induction cooktop, stainless steel refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher and everything you need to prepare a light meal.

Spacious dressing room with double sinks and marble floors and plenty of room for all your clothing during your stay. Luxurious marble bathroom with porcelain sink and deep Jacuzzi soaking tub.

Stroll on the beach, pick up pretty stones and shells, watch the sunset, and it's beautiful even if rainy as one can watch the clouds roll in. During certain times of the year, with storms and King TIdes, watch the breakers from the safety of your Villa. In the summer, there will be scooters and bikes for rent, right outside the Villa. Further down the beach, rent a kayak or canoe. Enjoy crabbing, fishing and fresh seafood at the restaurants along the beach at Alki.

This is a private home for quiet relaxation. While guests have total privacy, owners live on-site and we do not allow parties, gatherings, shindigs, receptions, film crews, loud music, general mischief and mayhem on the premises.

We are an adult-only home, no exceptions. We are also a human-only home, no animals of any kind.

While we have never had any problems, we do have a whole-house security system and an exterior lighting and camera system for everyone's safety and security. PM us for more details.

We have our Villa professionally cleaned by NeuCleans and they clean and disinfect between each guest. We know you’ll love staying here!

Note: Your unit does not have individual heat or cooling control. There is one main thermostat in the managers quarters and that is set for 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celsius). That is comfortable for most people but just in case you are hot or cold, each unit has its own individual oil heater and fan. They may not be plugged in when you arrive but please feel free to use those when you get here, to make your stay more comfortable. Thanks in advance for your understanding!

Also to note, there are security cameras and lights on the exterior of the building, for guests safety and security. The lights come on at dusk and turn off at dawn, and the porch lights are not to be turned off. While we do not have an alarm service, we do ask that everyone make a special point to keep exterior doors locked at all times.

As you enter the home, the first thing you will notice is the grand piano that you are welcome to play and there is music for you in the dining room cabinet.

The main floor features a marble fireplace, grand chandeliers, original artwork and amazing views. There is a main floor fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with an Italian twist: marble countertops, Viking gas range, Viking refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. There is also a comfortable dining room filled with chandeliers, velvet chairs and original art. There is a ROKU TV in the family room/dining room too. Also on that floor is a separate office and a bedroom with a King-sized bed and an amazing all-sandstone master bath with separate walk-in shower. There is also an additional 2nd half-bath on that floor

There are two TV's upstairs, a ROKU TV and a digital cable TV.

WE WELCOME YOU TO OUR VILLA! We know you'll love it!

This Villa is perfect for several adults or two couples. Sadly, we cannot have children because there is no fencing from the home to the street to the Ocean-front beach, so not safe for kids.

We can also not allow animals due to severe allergies on the part of a family member which causes us to have to shut down our guesthouse and perform extensive deep cleaning to return it to an allergen-free environment. We respectfully request guests with animals seek lodging in an animal friendly listing for this reason. However, according to Federal ADA regulations for Service Animals we are required by law to accept these. We are entitled to ask the following questions and make you aware of our expectations.

Please let us know the following:

1. Is your Service Animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has your Service Animal been trained to perform?
3. Is your animal a Service Animal or an Emotional Support Animal? ADA regulations do not include ESA’s.

We have some rules so that both your stay and that of our guests after you will be enjoyable and relaxing. If you have any questions, please ask!

•Your Service Animal may not be left unattended at any time. Do not leave the animal in our apartment by itself. If it's a service animal, it must be with you at all times.
