Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' There's no more charming or whimsical place to experience Seattle than the Storybook House, a haven for the imagination just one block from Alki Beach. It's an escape for days spent riding bikes, walking along the shore, and enjoying West Seattle's excellent restaurants and shops, with all the wonders of childhood awaiting you back at home. This single-story bungalow sits one block south of Alki Beach Park, in one of the most sought-after areas of Seattle. Go kayaking, put in your paddleboard, take your kids to the Alki Playground and Whale Tail Park only two blocks east, visit the arcade one block north, and catch incredible sunsets on the sandy shore. You'll also be barely over two miles (an eight-minute drive) from the water taxi to downtown Seattle, easily reached via shuttle along Alki Beach. True to its name, the Storybook House has been hand-painted by a local artist to showcase a different children's book in each room. It's utterly charming, from the "Goodnight Moon" living room to "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" eating its way through the kitchen. When you're not outside on the sun-splashed deck, there's wonderful space indoors for reading books or watching movies by the fireplace and playing games at the kitchen table. Whether you're making up your own world with "Harold and the Purple Crayon" or joining Max for a wild rumpus in "Where the Wild Things Are," the bedroom and bunk room promise the best of dreams. "The Little Prince" bathroom is darling in its own right, complete with a clawfoot bathtub. A folding crib, a high chair, many other amenities for small children like a sound machine, and a private washer/dryer are provided as well. Things to Know If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
