Not for older adults
Main problem was stepping over a high tub to get into shower although there was a sturdy grab handle it could really be a problem with someone of limited agility. The remainder of the bathroom was tiney. We layed out our toilet items in the kitchen which had ample space. Also a downstep was needed to get to the bathroom which calls for care especially at night.

Everything we needed
The Captain's Cottage was perfect for our mother-daughter visit to Seattle. We loved being in a quiet neighborhood with easy parking and in/out access. The house is tiny but had every amenity we could have hoped for.

Quiet and restful
This was a lovely place to rest and decompress, yet close to bus lines that took me right into downtown. I can’t think of anything that was missing. Do stay here; you’ll like it.

Excellent vacation for Seattle area fun.
This was our second stay at the Captains Cottage at Christmas time. small house, but warm and inviting. In the Woodland neighborhood within walking distance of Ballard central amenities and the brewery district (and our grandson!). Only a few blocks to the express bus stop to get down Town Seattle. I would bet it’s every bit as great in the summer when you can hangout in the front yard and watch the world go by! The hosts were very accommodating and kept a tidy and unique property.

Contemporary cottage
We stayed for 5 days in this whimsically themed Captain's Cottage that was thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed, including air conditioning. Despite its compact size, the house felt remarkably spacious for just my husband and I, with wonderful light and every comfort we needed. Renee was a wonderful host, responding quickly to every message. The location, in a quiet residential neighborhood, was convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, and transportation. We recommend to others and would happily stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay in Ballard!
My husband, toddler and I stayed in this cute cottage for 3 nights while visiting the Seattle area. Very cute and quaint cottage! It was just the perfect size for the three of us and the house itself had so much character. Truly a historic home in an adorable neighborhood. We had quick access to everything we wanted to see and enjoyed every moment of our stay. There were even raspberry bushes in back of the home growing fresh raspberries on them! We would recommend any couples or small families stay here. We had a nice time!

My stay in this nautically themed cottage couldn’t have been nicer! It is a sweet older home that has been charmingly decorated and outfitted with all the modern conveniences. I highly recommend this cute VRBO.
