We had a great time in the Storybook house! It is walkable to the beach which was so fun for our landlocked kiddos. Lots of restaurants down by the water- we enjoyed Chupacabra for tacos. We did have a couple worries with our toddler- some unsecured furniture was a bit sketchy with her wanting to pull on things. There is no dishwasher, just an FYI. But the closet off the "master" was big enough for a pack-n-play! And they provide a mini crib with mattress/sheets which was nice. There is also a high chair. We were on a long road trip and did multiple loads of laundry during our stay with no issue. Overall, the kids (and grown-ups) loved the creativity and enjoyed our stay!
This was perfect for our family. Although our kids are a little older (18 & 15) they loved the story book theme, they liked remembering reading all the old stories and talking about them. The town is beautiful and everything is within walking distance. We rented a 4 person bike and road up and down the bay. The views from the beach were breathtaking. While walking one evening we even saw a family of Orcas in the bay. Public transportation was easy and parking was no issue.
The house is unique in that it features special decorations, with each room inspired by a classic book. We appreciate the owners' effort in remodeling the house and their attention to detail in creating a literary-themed experienceâwe love it!Another positive aspect is the location; it's very close to the beach, great restaurants, and the water taxi that takes you to downtown Seattle.However, we want to inform future renters that this is an old house, and there is a noticeable smell. The manager explained that itâs natural due to the houseâs age. It was difficult for us on the first day, but we eventually got used to it.
Things were greatly decorated. Underneath and between the couch cushions need to be cleaned .We found popcorn and hair , puzzle pieces under the couch. The chairs in the kitchen were cute .Bench And 1 pink chair is very unstable . We found dishwasher soap, no dishwasher. Oven door was very low, as if broken . Dishes were slightly unwashed, previous food stains . Needed potholders and trash bags . Vent under the kitchen table kept popping off we slept very well And safe from the cold. Great quiet location.Thank you.
Adorable cottage with obvious creativity and a focus on readers, especially the little ones. It is the perfect spot to land and visit with others.BYO items like coffee, lotion, and if you are 5â ish and over 60, a mirror!Be prepared to make a high climb on slippery footing to exit the vintage clawfoot tub.
Iâm sorry to say we wonât be staying at the storybook house again. We were so excited as the theme is great for kids! It started with the lack of parking when we first got there - the listing said 1 designated parking spot, but when we got to the house - there was no spot. I called Vacasa and they said itâs not designated - itâs first come first serve street parking (that was mentioned for the first time in the email you receive the day before - past the cancellation window - I had not gotten the email the day before as we were traveling and got everything else In text message) after many calls and âchatâ messaging I was told someone from the local team would call me. No one ever did. I would note when we got back to the house from dinner (we had 3 hungry children with us when we got there), there was the spot that was âdesignatedâ available. We never had another problem parking in the âdesignatedâ street parking. But never heard from Vacasa again. We also had a plumbing issue with the one toilet - never heard from them either. We just dealt with it. Beware there are 2 chairs at the kitchen table - if you are planning to eat at the same time bring your own. Luckily they did leave 2 tower fans - but it did not appear the windows in the front room open. There was only 1 screen on 1 window - so if you donât mind bugs or spiders - feel free to open the rest. It really is a cutely painted house in a great location, but there are other options that would be better.
