Amazing and serene view house, art deco charmer, fully restored

Casa Florence is a beautiful 1936 house located on a serene bluff with expansive westward ocean and island views.

Named after Ms. Florence, who lived in the house over 60 year, and at 102 years old decided to move into a smaller place.

The house sits far back from the street on a view bluff. There is ample street parking. 20 wide and gradual stairs through the park-like front yard bring you to this amazing setting.

The main floor has a large living room with enormous picture windows to the view. A beautiful dining room also allows access to the 150 sq ft entertaining deck. The fully appointed kitchen has all the dishes and equipment necessary to cook the meal of your dreams, or to spread out a take-out feast.

The grand staircase leads up the large master bedroom with seating area and view windows. The 2nd bedroom is also upstairs, its flexible configuration has two twin beds which convert to full sized beds. This is also a view bedroom. The spa-like bathroom is also upstairs. It includes a large deep vintage tub for soaking and a separate shower.

The house is a westward facing bluff. Set far back from the street, with city forest land below it, the location is serene. Casa Florence offers stunning 180 degree ocean views of the Puget Sound and its silently gliding ferry boats and ship traffic, islands across the water and the Olympic Mountains.

And the sunsets! The house faces west and golden sunlight fills the house every afternoon and evening. Each day has its own special sunset.

Privacy - nearly all windows face the view, giving guests excellent privacy and opportunity to enjoy the view at the same time.

Sorry, no dogs. No emotional support animals either. Only service animals that have been extensively trained to perform specific tasks.

Great view, parking on street was easy, easy to get to different events, great shopping at Safeway--

The kitchen was well stocked with all cooking Utensils--I could have used 1 more fry pan. Appreciated the use of the laundry--maybe have more bath towels for those of us who stay over a week. The only things that we had problems with was all the stairs & the tv was hard to get to find stations.

Beautiful Location but be warned

This is a BEAUTIFUL little house - the location and view are so worth being on the edge of the city but be warned - the comfort level is low.This is by far the best equipped home I’ve ever stayed in. You’ll want for nothing in terms of supplies including all the condiments. The furniture, however, is worn, sparse and not comfortable. The beds are the worst and the pillows feel like cardboard. Not good enough for the price and not worthy of such a wonderful house. Despite the comfort level, we LOVED our stay. The garden and the deck were everything.

Nice Neighborhood, Accurate Listing

There's not much to say about this listing that has already not been said. Super Clean, Communication is friendly and immediate. The neighborhood is nice, lots of trees, plants everywhere, We're from Texas and one thing we liked no mosquitoes. The drive into Seattle from West Seattle is easy. Lots of coffee shops and grocery stores very close. Temperatures were starting to get warm in June, but nights were cool. We used the house as our home base while visiting the city, Mount Rainer, Olympic National Park, Picks Place, and more. All appliances were in good working order and the kitchen had everything you'd need. Street parking is available just up the steps as pictured on the listing. A few things to consider... If you need a washer and dryer on site there is not one here and it is listed appropriately. The other is there is only one bathroom. We were a group of 3 and it was never a problem. Lastly the steps in the pictures are accurate, if you have mobility issues or need a wheel chair it might be rough. Overall spectacular listing and gracious management. Nights on the deck were perfect. When entering the house there are little notes/stickers everywhere explaining odds an ends of the house. The host has provided a directory, on the table, with local suggestions and travel needs. I cannot say enough about the location and cleanliness of the house.

Close Enough - But Quiet Enough

great little location in West Seattle. Within striking distance of downtown Seattle (via water taxi) and within walking distance of West Seattle eateries, etc, but far enough away to avoid all the noise of night life. Recommend it highly and will stay here again when in the area.

Good stay, accurate listing

We've stayed in many older homes and this was one of the better ones as it was well heated. The trampoline was a nice touch and the kids loved that. I did think the home was closer to the ocean (15-20min walk), so clarifying that would be nice, but otherwise a good stay.

Charming home with thoughtful touches

Michelle was very helpful and communicative from the start. Everything was labeled clearly in the house and there were several thoughtful conveniences. The loaner backpacks, umbrellas, and charging cords were helpful. The door is a little tricky. ;) But those things happen in an older home. We would definitely stay here again.

Girlfriends weekend getaway

Had such an amazing time. The house is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood and gorgeous view of the bay. We spent 90% of our time on the deck. We even got to see the Northern Lights. I would come back in a heartbeat. One of my best experiences yet.

Beautiful home with even more beautiful views.

Gorgeous views, beautiful neighborhood, perfect for walks or runs. My only cautions-NOT criticisms-are that if anyone in your party has mobility issues or difficulty with stairs, understand that the house is built on the side of a hill and there must be stairs to make it work. Also, no washer or dryer, but found a coin laundry only a few minutes away.

Family-friendly with adult style

I did a mommy and me trip here with my two young children. This house was great for kids and the perfect place to wind down in the evening after their bedtime. Fantastic views from every room. Kids loved the twin beds, little stuffed animal friends to hug, and watching the ferries right outside their bedroom window every single day. Touch lamps were great for little kids, tub, and TV gets any cartoon they want, heaters work great. It was raining so we didn't enjoy the grounds much but loved the whimsical garden. A note for parents with babies - the stairs have a secure baby gate at the top of the stairs and a crib or pack and play was offered. Host communication was outstanding and my special request was met perfectly. House has everything you could want to make meals at home. Location is sleepy and safe - we slept like babies and woke up to birdsong. Lots of people in the neighborhood just walking their dogs. Walk to Alki Beach is strenuous, especially with a stroller. Recommend just driving and parking. This is the best location to stay that is close to tourist activities and excursions while avoiding exposing little kids to street life in Seattle if you know what I mean. Could not have chosen a better place to stay in West Seattle and we want to come back again already! Amazing host thought of everything!
