About this property

8BR Retreat|Sleeps 20Deck, BBQ, SeaTac | Sophari J

  • The Property:

    Sophari Home J is the largest property in the Sophari portfolio: an 8-bedroom, 5-bathroom house spanning 3,640 square feet across two full floors in Des Moines, WA. Upstairs holds 5 bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a living room; downstairs holds 3 bedrooms, a second full kitchen plus kitchenette, and two more living rooms — with multiple private entrances so both floors can be accessed independently. Standout features include an indoor fireplace, a roof deck, a patio with a BBQ grill and outdoor dining area, multiple dedicated workspaces, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. This is the right home for family reunions, corporate offsites, wedding parties, sports travel, or any group that needs real space to spread out.



    Sleeping Arrangements:

    Twelve beds across eight bedrooms — seven queen beds, four twin beds, and a sofa bed in one of the downstairs living rooms — with 20 guests as maximum occupancy. Exact room-by-room configuration can be shared on request for group planning.



    Building Amenities:

    Sophari Home J is a standalone house, not a unit in a shared building, so there are no building-level amenities like an elevator, gym, or lobby — guests have exclusive use of the entire property, including the large yard, deck, and roof deck.



    Neighborhood:

    Sophari Home J sits in Des Moines, a quiet residential community roughly 1.8 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and about 3.8 miles from Southcenter Mall's shopping and dining. The location works especially well for airport layovers, relocation stays, and group work trips that need easy access to SeaTac without paying downtown Seattle prices.



    Transportation:

    Angle Lake Station, the closest Link light rail stop, is about 1.24 miles from the property and connects directly into downtown Seattle without a rental car. Downtown Seattle — including Pioneer Square and Capitol Hill — is roughly 12 miles away by road. This is a car-friendly, residential setting; guests without a car should plan for a short rideshare to the light rail station.



    Parking Information:

    Parking is free and included with the stay, with space for 5–6 vehicles across the driveway and the rear of the property, plus additional street parking nearby if needed.



    Check-In:

    Sophari Home J offers self check-in, with no front desk or on-site staff. Guests must complete the Guest Verification Form provided at booking, after which access instructions are sent a few days before arrival. Standard check-in time is 4:00 PM.

Lots of space, rooms and decorated nice

The property has enough space to sleep a large group. It was decorated so nicely and the beds were comfortable. The check in was easy. The only complaint was that it had spider webs in room corners and some items from previous guests (a suit jacket and a vape found in cabinets that were not from our group). Would recommend this place for large groups!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
We felt like we got catfished walking into this place. The yard was completely unkempt, long grass overgrown bushes and the code to enter the property was incorrect. When we finally got in we walked around the home and found water damage in most of the bathrooms and upstairs ceiling. We found ants in the living room and coffee maker. Paint was chipping on most of the walls. There was exposed wiring and the fuse panel was completely exposed. The mattresses were basically cardboard and there were nails sticking out of some of the bed frames. The couches and air mattresses were more comfortable than the mattresses the host provided. The grill was COMPLETELY RUSTED. I don’t know why we had to pay an extra 1000 deposit for such a poorly unkept home. We still haven’t received any part of the deposit back. I understand pictures on listings are edited and meant to show off the home but this felt like a catfishing experience. I have pictures of all the damage we saw taken the day we arrived.

Great airport location for larger groups

Very pleasant stay for our extended family. Many comfy beds…nobody was on a bad sofa-bed like you run into sometimes. The house is modest-looking from outside but really nicely remodeled within.

Amazing property

We loved the house - perfect for a large group. Our family had our own spaces in the house and enjoyed the living room to meet together. There is no A/C in the house - but hey, it’s in Seattle. Thanks!!!
