Water & Sound View Getaway Suite – A Romantic PNW Escape

Welcome to your private Water & Sound View Getaway Suite, a peaceful retreat tucked inside a historic 1900s beach cottage overlooking the Puget Sound. Local legend says this home once served as a bootleggers cabin during the early days of the Pacific Northwest. Today it has been lovingly restored into a quiet and romantic getaway filled with charm, comfort, and unforgettable views.

This suite is designed forromantic escapes, peaceful solo stays, short visits to the Seattle area, and business travelers who want something far more relaxing than a standard hotel room.

With a private outdoor entrance, breathtaking water views, and your own outdoor relaxation spaces, this cozy suite allows you to fully experience the beauty and tranquility of the Pacific Northwest.

⸻

Stunning Water, Mountain, and Sunset Views

Step through the large French doors and enjoy unobstructed views of the Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and glowing Pacific Northwest sunsets.

Outside you will find your own private driftwood cabana retreat, carefully designed to help you relax and enjoy the scenery.

Your private outdoor space includes:

• Comfortable outdoor lounge seating
• A propane gas fire pit for your private use
• A Salu Spa hot tub for your private use
• An infinity view garden overlooking the water
• Beautiful driftwood accents and peaceful garden surroundings

This entire outdoor area is reserved exclusively for guests staying in the suite, creating a peaceful and romantic setting to enjoy morning coffee, sunset views, or a quiet evening under the stars.

The gas fire pit provides instant warmth and ambiance, perfect for cozy evenings outdoors without the work of wood fires.

The private hot tub offers a relaxing soak while looking out over the water and mountains, one of the most memorable ways to experience the magic of the Pacific Northwest.

⸻

Your Private Suite

Inside the suite you will find a thoughtfully designed space combining natural materials, comfort, and simplicity.

The suite includes:

King Bedroom with Water Views

Wake up to the soft morning light reflecting off the Puget Sound. The king bed offers comfort and quiet, making it ideal for restful sleep after a day of travel or exploring the area.

Comfortable Living Area

The living area features a comfortable double sofa, making it easy to relax, read, watch a movie, or work remotely if needed.

Modern Granite and Glass Bathroom

The bathroom features granite and glass finishes with a clean, modern design that feels fresh and hotel like while still fitting the charm of the historic cottage.

⸻

Live Edge Coffee Bar and Closet Kitchenette

A beautiful live edge wood coffee bar adds natural Pacific Northwest character to the suite.

The suite also includes a small kitchenette located inside a cabinet style closet. This space is designed for convenience rather than full cooking.

Behind the Thai wood closet doors you will find a compact beverage and snack station that opens to reveal:

• Refrigerator
• Microwave with grill function
• Keurig coffee maker
• Espresso machine with fresh ground coffee
• Tea selection
• Toaster
• Dishware and utensils

Please note that this is not a full kitchen. The kitchenette is located inside a closet style cabinet and is intended for light use such as coffee, tea, breakfast items, reheating food, or simple snacks.

There is no stove, oven, or full cooking area.

Many guests enjoy using this space for a relaxed breakfast, preparing coffee before watching the sunrise over the water, or reheating takeout from the wonderful local restaurants nearby.

⸻

• Starbucks Keurig coffee pods
• Fresh ground espresso coffee
• A selection of teas

High speed internet is available throughout the suite.

Explore the Pacific Northwest

The suite is located just 17 minutes from SeaTac Airport, making it an easy and convenient stay for travelers flying in or out of the Seattle area.

The home sits between Seattle and Tacoma, allowing you to explore both cities while enjoying a quiet waterfront neighborhood away from the busy city centers.

Only five minutes away you will find the local marina and town center offering:

• Scenic waterfront walking trails
• Beaches and shoreline views
• Local restaurants and cafes
• State parks and nature areas
• Boutique shops and small local businesses

This area offers classic Pacific Northwest scenery everywhere you look, from saltwater views and evergreen forests to dramatic mountain sunsets.

Many guests enjoy simply walking along the water, watching boats pass by, and breathing in the fresh sea air.

⸻

Easy Arrival and Peaceful Privacy

Guests have off street parking for one vehicle directly on the property. Additional parking may be arranged with advance notice if needed.

The suite has three separate private entrances, allowing easy and flexible access during your stay.

The bedroom is designed to be quiet and peaceful, ideal for light sleepers who want a restful night.

The suite is attached to the main home but is fully locked off and completely private.

Guests may occasionally hear normal household sounds from the living room area of the main home, but the suite itself remains a quiet and relaxing retreat.

Your hosts, Richard and Ruth, respect guest privacy and allow guests to enjoy the space independently while remaining available if assistance is ever needed.

⸻

Good to Know

⸻

Your Pacific Northwest Escape Awaits

We look forward to welcoming you for your Pacific Northwest stay

    The host was so welcoming; they hooked up a new propane tank for us, so that the fire pit would work; the view was stunning; the neighborhood was beautiful! The host was so gracious and sent us a list of places to walk in the neighborhood, and places to eat! The apartment itself was much bigger than it looks online, and they thought of every detail! Will definitely try to book again when in Kent, visiting family! Thank you!

    This property was just perfect for my husband and I. We picked it for the price and beautiful view. We throughly enjoyed sitting outside looking at the sound while using the firepit and/or hot tub. This was so relaxing and perfect start and end to our days here. Our high light was seeing dolphins swimming in the sound. There is a telescope here we were able to use to get a perfect view of them!! This neighborhood is super quiet which was really nice. We planned on going out to eat our meals so the amenities provided here were perfect for us. Richard and Ruth were super quick to get back to us if we had any questions and were very welcoming. Their house is attached but we honestly couldn't even tell they were here. We had a great time here and would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much.

    The pics and descriptions were perfect. Sometimes places aren’t exactly as you see them in the pics and there is a not so great surprise. Not this place. Everything was perfect and beautiful. It wasn’t crowded w signs of ”don’t do this”, and the very little signage they did have was professionally and custom made, which added to my appeal of the place. The art was true art and not some cheap crap. They had personal touches everywhere. In the mornings I’d make my coffee, open the double doors and stare at the water. The hot tub and fire pit were easy to use, while the robes made me feel very cozy. The communication was impeccable. They provided tons of ideas for things to do and eat. Wally’s Chowder House…. Is a must do. I asked about a trip to Bainbridge and they quickly provided tons of info.

    We stayed the weekend before our cruise departed to allow for adjusting to new time zone and to see the area outside of downtown Seattle. The space was exactly as the ad described, peaceful, quiet, and convenient. Our first time staying in a room attached to someone’s house. We never heard or saw the hosts, but she always answered any texts we sent. Until next time!

    I stayed for 2 nights. The unit was comfortable and nicely appointed. I didn't use any of the outdoor amenities or cook, so I can't comment on those aspects. The view is gorgeous. There was some airplane noise as another guest commented, but it didn't bother me. Great communication by the hosts. I really appreciated the outdoor lights, since I arrived each night after dark.

    The property is very nice. There was no propane for the fire pit or BBQ. The hot tub had way too much chlorine, it burned our eyes. The telescope was upside down as well, my husband turned it around.
