House holiday rentals in University District, Seattle

Picture this: arrive in Seattle and arrive at your condo for 3 pm check in looking straight at the Public Market sign with signature clock (which fortunately I saw on the last day of my stay at 5:50 am when I thought I set my alarm for 5:30 am but it was set for pm!). Drop our family bags and head down to the Market to find inspiration for dinner tonight. Buy great produce and seafood, two kinds of cool pasta, and a humbow to tide me over, go back up to the condo in 20 steps, welcome a few friends and family who chat and laugh and drink while they help me make dinner. So fresh, so real, so perfect in this condo right by the Market that is decked out in all the things needed to cook a great dinner and enjoy time together while ogling the fabulous Seattle waterfront. And that was just day one. Our host Taylor was easily reachable by text anytime we had a question or issue, and so kind and warm. Even helped us idiots figure out that the living room couch was a bed for our 6’4” son

The home is gorgeous. So tranquil and peaceful -- my family took a week-long vacation on Vashon and Brita's was the perfect jumping-off point. The location is super private, the home architecture is extraordinary, and the backyard garden is expansive. If you're looking for a great place to rest and recharge, this is it. There is a lot of great dishware, artistic elements in the home, and incredible views throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom.

What a wonderful relaxing and beautiful spot! My family had a wonderful 3 days here. Super pet and kid friendly.

Hummingbird house was an excellent stay for our elderly parents for 2 months over the summer. The house was very comfortable and well appointed, the backyard and garden were gorgeous with lots of hummingbirds visiting. Mr. Per was wonderful to coordinate with and he was always prompt and responsive with everything we needed.

We loved our stay in Snohomish! The house is very cozy and clean. The kitchen had everything we could need and the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely stay again.

perfect for my little family... next time I'm in town booking the same place again !

I cannot say enough good things about our hosts but also to their cleaning team! House was very homey, lots of extra bedding and towels. All the kitchen things needed to cook big meals for my family! And wow! The games and being baby friendly was so nice! The scenery beautiful and private location! I would recommend anyone with a family to book this home and don’t look elsewhere!

My friends and I ADORED this Air BnB. A beautiful home in a beautiful Seattle neighborhood. It was a very functional and fun space to host a weekend away—kitchen well equipped for cooking, plenty of beds, great outdoor space. Sam was an excellent host who was responsive, accommodating, and communicative. Would definitely book this place again!

Beautiful home, definitely would stay again with a nice view of the city and local lake, big enough for my family plenty of space and lots amenities.

Had a great stay! The house was spacious and perfect for my college friends + SOs to gather for a weekend together. The common spaces could accommodate our full group, which was something that was important to us. And the # of separate bedrooms allowed people to still have some privacy if needed. It's a quiet and lovely neighborhood that's relatively close to downtown. I'd definitely stay again!

Larisa's home is beautiful, cozy, clean, spacious and stocked with all you need for a comfortable stay. It truly felt like home away from home. I highly recommend this home if you have a large group that needs to be comfortable.

This home is a great find! I booked this for a girls weekend and we all had a blast, the house had plenty of space with a gorgeous view. Highly recommend booking Dave’s home!

With a daughter in Florida and a son in Bellingham this Ballard home was the perfect spot to gather! We had so much fun walking to the pubs in Ballard with lots of time to explore the farmer’s market. Highly recommend staying with Joel and Sarah!

We didn’t want to leave! Carter’s home is amazing in so many ways. There is everything you might want in the immaculately clean house, and then more. The view is incredible, we had as much fun enjoying the view on our ‘rest’ day as we did exploring things in the city. As hosts ourselves, we appreciate detailed communication, and Carter provides detailed information about everything in his home! We will certainly return when we come back to the area.

We enjoyed our time at Scott’s place in Bremerton. The house is spacious enough for two families, or like ours, one family and each kid gets their own room. Check in and check out were smooth. The neighborhood is peaceful and extremely quiet. A quick drive from lots of shops. Thanks so much!

Property was clean and very nice. Host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Such a wonderful cabin. It was super cozy and was the perfect get-a-way for our fam of 3 + 1 dog. For a place that is dog friendly, you could not tell! It was super tidy and clean and simple. Fished right off the beach, had fires and also appreciated the tv for movies at night and games. It’s in the description, but just make note of the pathway down! It’s well maintained, but if it’s rainy it can be a little slick. It definitely would not deter us from coming back but if you have a hard time mobility wise, it would be trickier! This place is 10/10

This is the perfect Air BnB experience we all want! This little house is so comfortable and comforting. Beautiful, well appointed, with a great host. We are here in winter, yet the garden is a joy. We will absolutely stay again, hopefully in Spring/Summer to enjoy all the Red Cedar Grove Retreat has to offer.

Nice and easy stay for our Lemons race team for the nearby Pacific Raceways track. We really weren't at the house at all, just returning for shower and a sleep. We also picked this property specifically as it had a garage space and there was a chance we'd need to do some wrenching on our car between race days and might need to get out of the rain. Lucky us though, the car didn't need anything! So yeah, great space, worked well for us and did the trick!

Great place to stay! We had a great time and was more than enough room for us and our friends to stay. Easy walk to the light rail

Naili was an excellent host. Very responsive to all questions and inquiries. Very accommodating to me and my family and made our family Thanksgiving get together a reality with her beautiful home. The home is extremely gorgeous and very well kept with beautiful views and very peaceful. Everything was as advertised. I highly recommend staying at Nali’s house.

Anne and Darrick have such a wonderful and peaceful place! One of the more professional ran places, that feels more like home! Their instructions are helpful and with some great humor! Very clean and safe space!

I work for a vacation rental company, so my standards are extremely high. Steve and Laura literally thought of everything for their cottage. Every thoughtful touch you could think of. We walked in and they had numerous snacks, cereal and bottled water waiting for us. The sheets were soft, the mattress and pillows were comfortable. They had soft towels, shampoo, conditioner and soap. They had all the streaming channels and it was already signed into their account, so we didn't have to spend the time signing into each account. The outside was manicured and they had a nice little deck. It took us 5 minutes to walk to the beach and there's numerous restaurants and a great Ben and Jerry's ice cream store attached to a coffee house. You have a view of the Cascades from the ocean and 3 miles down is a view of the Seattle skyline with an incredible 5 star restaurant called Salty's. Please know that weekend traffic is very, very busy so be patient. We can't wait to book this gem again.
