Mercer Island is a peaceful oasis nestled in the heart of Lake Washington—a rare blend of small-town charm and city convenience. The neighborhood is quiet, friendly, and full of natural beauty. Think tree-lined streets, scenic walking trails, and sparkling lake views around nearly every corner.
You’ll find charming cafés, locally owned shops, and excellent markets nearby, especially around the town center, which is just a short stroll or bike ride away. It’s a welcoming, upscale community that feels like a true escape—but with everything you need close at hand.

Ensuring the safety and security of our guests and property is our top priority. For guests without a strong recent history of bookings or those making last minute reservations, we may require a screening through a third-party background check called Autohost. This process may require additional information such as credit card and government-issued ID to verify your identity.

Additionally, as part of our safety protocol, we may require you to sign a rental agreement prior to your stay. We understand that this may seem like an inconvenience, but we promise it's painless and easy. We want you to feel comfortable and secure during your stay, and these measures help us to achieve that.

If you're a seasoned Airbnb user or here for business purposes, we'll happily waive the requirement. Our goal is to create a welcoming and hassle-free experience for all of our guests.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay with peace of mind knowing that your safety and security is our top priority.

You can rest easy knowing your space is covered with $1,500 In “All-Risk” Damage Protection. Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally, this was managed via a security deposit or vacation rental damage insurance purchased by the guest. Both are cumbersome and often have big limitations in protection.

With “all-risk” protection, accidental damage from a guest is covered unless it’s specifically excluded such as, but not limited to, normal wear and tear, infestation, or prior damage.

Relax and Enjoy Your Stay
It’s vacation time, so enjoy it with the peace of mind knowing that if an accident happens and damage occurs, you are protected under Waivo!
Any noise violations incurred during your stay are your responsibility and are not covered under the damage protection.

If you're flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), you’re just a 20–25 minute drive away. The most convenient option is to grab an Uber or Lyft from the airport—Mercer Island is directly off I-90, so you’ll be cruising across Lake Washington in no time.
Coming from downtown Seattle? It's just a 10–15 minute drive or a short light rail and bus combo (Link light rail to Judkins Park or Rainier, then a quick bus ride). Mercer Island’s central location makes it a perfect jumping-off point whether you're heading into Seattle, Bellevue, or the Eastside.
