Luxe Puget Sound Private Getaway in Burien!

Not as clean as I would expect for a nightly rental. Kitchen not stocked well for cooking. Otherwise it was a nice home.

The house was beautiful however some things were poorly fixed. Drains in bathroom tub were not done properly the front door was difficult to open and close the refrigerator door handle is falling off. The trash can in front yard was over flowing. The neighborhood was a bit rundown not comfortable to walk. The host were easy to get a hold of through message. someone lives in the garage? Showed up at the door before we left on Friday asking about a leak. A few days stay wasn’t bad with a house full of adults.

We were really looking forward to our vacation, but unfortunately, this rental did not live up to expectations. When we arrived on Thursday, May 22nd, we discovered the air conditioner was not working—a huge issue in the warm weather. To the owner’s credit, a repairman was sent out that same day to fix it, which we appreciated.However, things quickly went downhill. On Friday morning, we noticed a leak in the ceiling of the family room. It was obvious this wasn’t a new issue, as there were visible signs it had happened before. We traced it to the Master bathroom, which was leaking. We immediately contacted the owner, but this issue was never addressed, and as a result, the Master bathroom was completely unusable for the remainder of our stay, which ended on Sunday, May 25th.In addition, one of the other bathrooms had a toilet that would not flush properly—it required jiggling the handle multiple times to get it to work. And the porch screen door was broken, completely off the tracks and unusable.Given all of these issues, especially the unresolved plumbing problem that left us without use of the Master bathroom, we feel this rental was misrepresented and not properly maintained. We were extremely disappointed in the quality and believe a refund is warranted. We are requesting a full refund of the monies paid for this stay.We cannot recommend this property and hope the owner takes steps to correct these ongoing problems for future guests.

We came to the Seattle area for some site seeing before our cruise with 2 other couples. We really enjoyed the location and ease of access to the areas we visited. We booked this house so we could all have our own king size bedroom with private bathrooms. We found the house to meet all our needs & enjoyed our stay.

It was extremely dirty, ants, bathroom not cleaned, carpets dirty nor vaccum

This house is exactly what it shows in the pictures. I would definitely stay here again. The house was perfect. Every bedroom had its own bathroom. It’s close to restaurants and shopping and close to downtown.

The property is easy to get to and convenient to most locations that we were planning to visit. The furnishings were comfortable, the house was spacious everything seemed modern and up-to-date. The only issue was that it seems like this was a work in progress. There were very few amenities that I am used to finding in a rental other than a few pots and pans, dishes for less people than it can sleep, one blow dryer for the whole house, etc. A lot of the bathroom fittings were incomplete like caulking on tiles in the showers and toilet seats not being attached. Right before check in we found out that the plumbing in the master bathroom was going to be turned off for the bathtub and shower. You can't lock the front door from inside the house only from outside the house. We couldn't find one of the trash cans either at the curb or around the house to put out or take in. The fees for this location were higher than most of the other ones we saw but we picked it due to the number of bedrooms. Overall I'd say that one good solid weekend of work could finish this house. Add a few small kitchen things and you're good to go.

On our way to the property we were informed that they had scheduled a plumber during our stay on monday when we were scheduled to be at a football game. Upon opening the front door, it was a lock box w a key. Anyone can have a copy of that key. it wasn't an touch pad key code style like normal. Upon going in to the kitchen to get inventory of what we would need for the week stay, the dishwasher had a terrible horrible smell. Informed the company about that and long term renter in the garage came over to try to fix it. He didn't know anything. We decided to just leave it closed as the smell went all through the house and upstairs. Never saw a hot tub that was broken In the am when i went to make breakfast for my family with grocery that we bought. Nothing worked! The stove, microwave and coffee maker had no power. There is a power glitch somewhere and non of it worked. -during our WHOLE stay-. Again the long term renter came over to try to fix it with no results. More time wasted for us. We had to purchase a new Ninja to be able to cook our food. On monday we waited for the plumber, he came and didn't know where the leak was or anything about it. After wasting 2 hours of our time we had to tell him to leave as we HAD to leave for our game that we have every expensive tickets for. Missed the beginning fun of it sadly. The following day we were asked to stay home for the electrician to come. We did declines as that point we had figured it out and decided to just live with it for a while. The house is ONLY 4 bedroom. They all have a bathroom which was cool. The bed have only a sheet and no mattress protector which not sanitary. There was nothing in the kitchen, we had to buy trash bags, there is no trash reciptible either so the garbage is just outside where animals can eat through it. No paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing soap, sponge, can opening. Litterly was missing everything to run a normal household. The upstairs patio door didn't lock properly. No extra towels, One super small towel was all that was provided. Most of these small items would have been overlooked if the major parts of the house would of been good. This house is just ready to be a VRBO home. Not the normal standard that VRBO is whatsoever. Save you money and stay somewhere else.

We had an awesome time! The house was spotless, well maintained and conveniently located for multiple day trip outings. We appreciated the host for being responsive when we had questions.

BEWARE. This house was NOT built to code and is falling apart. Doors and cabinets fall off if you barely touch them. Travertine tile from below the master tub (that was out of order) fell off and almost took off my toe. The outlets are exposed and not GFI protected. There are very few, if any supplies for basic living (no broom/dust-pan, missing pots/pans, no grill, etc). Multiple safety hazards, not to mention the homeowner has a shady little apartment DOWNSTAIRS that they didn't tell us about, he came and went the entirety of our stay. The property is shared with another house that has VERY suspicious activity happening day and night. The recycling/garbage was not there and when we found it out on the street, it was full and never was picked up. All of this said and then the HOST had the nerve to charge my card for damages that were due to the shoddy job that they did remodeling the house! STAY AWAY!!
