West Seattle Driftwood Cottage

Beautiful cottage for a Seattle Getaway. It’s in a fantastic location and easy to find. Many amenities are close such as Lincoln Park and Coleman Pool, Alki and fantastic restaurants in the Alki neighborhood. We stayed one adult and 2 kids and it worked extremely well for us as there was, conveniently, a large bed AND a convertible sofa bed, so plenty of sleeping area. The owner included many useful items such as plates and utensils, cutting board, bath products, coffee . It was all really well stocked! We went to the Target nearby to get some snacks and enjoyed the gas fire pit area and small yard which my kids utelized to burn off some energy. It was clean and comfortable and we just can’t say enough about the great memories we made in Seattle and at the Driftwood Cottage!

Lovely and Convenient Cottage

If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s convenient, comfortable and relaxing, look no further! Gian is a wonderful host and has put so much thought into creating this peaceful space. I really LOVED being able to enjoy the outdoor space with the fire table and reading in the sunshine on the back porch. It’s centrally located between the airport and downtown Seattle. There was a bus stop right around the corner if you don’t have a car. Several grocery stores and restaurants nearby (about 10 minutes from the West Seattle Junction). Very close to Lincoln Park where you can have a nice walk along the water and a picnic at the beach. Looking forward to my next visit! Thank you, Gian!

Convenient, Comfortable, and Relaxing

The cottage is so cozy, comfortable and clean! The backyard is private and we enjoyed hanging out there before we headed downtown. I love all his landscaping— it’s maintained and green and calming! We will be staying here again! Gian is a great host— highly recommend!

Cozy, comfortable and clean!

Driftwood Cottage is a pleasure and a joy as a place to stay. How does he fit everything so comfortably in a studio?  See for yourself!!

Easy bus access, very clean, modern, tech-savvy, comfortable, adorable dog, privacy if desired, nice bathroom, great linens and towels, nice kitchenette with all you need (unless it is an oven).  I would stay here again. 

Walked around the corner each morning for pastries, but made coffee and tea in the cottage. Enjoyed sitting outside on the deck. 

Great, friendly host. 

Wonderful West Seattle Stay

The cottage was the perfect spot to stay for our visit to Seattle. Upon arrival we felt so welcome, made better by the owner's adorable dog. We came to town for a wedding, and since the weather was so nice we reached out to have the fire pit set up for us.  If you need anything, you really do just need to ask.
