Miko's Guest House on Vashon island is a wonderful retreat complete with a private outdoor hot tub. The house is cozy with a wood burning stove, kitchen, and shower and the most relaxing bed. Karen, the owner, put together a welcome basket with wine, cheese, bread, coffee, and other local goodies. Of course, the best part was the hot tub. A day of soaking released a few months of stress. I'll definitely go back.

From the gift basket to the fluffy robes and slippers, we felt so comfortable we would have liked to enjoy a longer stay. The little house is filled with art from local artists, most of which is for sale. The downy bed is the most comfortable I've slept in. There was even a beautifully set table for two waiting for us, and a well-equipped kitchen. Miko's is a perfect spot for two people to settle in for a romantic, peaceful getaway. We celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary there just a few days before Christmas, and look forward to returning.

Located on a bluff above Eagle Harbor, there is ample outdoor seating to enjoy the massive expanse of water and sky. A curving set of wood and stone steps lead down to the water where one can barbeque, go kayaking, sit and relax, or walk on the beach. I saw an eagle swoop on some cormorants that were sitting out on a floating dais (they dove and easily escaped him). The view of Mt. Rainier from the beach is unique and if one walks down a ways one can see the Seattle skyline. The place is everything it is advertised to be: the windows overlook Eagle Harbor with the ferries coming and going, the kitchen is well equipped and the stove has gas burners, the bed is very comfortable, the television has more channels than I would ever watch, Wi Fi is free, the bathroom is clean and the showerhead is powerful. The owners were friendly and honored my privacy. Photographers, artists, birdwatchers, couples, small families, kayakers, an individual looking to relax - I could go on - will all find something here. I found true peace and quiet.

The view was stunning and I loved watching the ferry go back and forth each day. The weather was beautiful and I was able to sit outside at the cute table and chairs Claes and Jenny have out on the patio. The inside was very clean and cozy and the wood burning stove was awesome! The owners live upstairs but I never heard/saw them, however, they make it very clear in the information they email you that should you need ANYTHING during your stay don't hesitate to just let them know. It was private, quiet and beautiful. For someone who only gets one vacation a year, it was exactly what I needed and as mentioned, I will definitely be back next year!

I was not an overnight guest but if the main house is any indication of what the guest houses are like, then you are in for a treat. The most amazing this - well 2 of the most amazing things are the view and the theater organ. From the deck you can see the Narrows bridge and it is right on the Sound. You can see MT. Rainier on a clear day. Secondly there is the organ theater. I can't even begin to describe the full room instrument. One must read about it to fully appreciate the history and the creation - but the experience of actually seeing this "instrument" is not to be missed.

There was a significant amount of hair on the pillowcase as well as on the sheet underneath. It didn't seem like the room had been prepared at all for our stay, and I'm unsure if the sink, toilet, and shower had been properly cleaned and sanitized. I was also quoted $187 over the phone and understood that to be the total price. I didn't have an option to book online since the google listing stated that I need to call the hotel directly to book. When I checked the charges the morning after, I noticed additional taxes had been added, which came out to an additional $30. Since I was specifically comparing prices in the area and was considering another option that was less than $187 including taxes, knowing the full price upfront would have affected my decision. It felt dishonest and wouldn't stay here again bc of this lack of transparency Overall, the lack of cleanliness at check-in and the unexpected additional charges were both disappointing and could have been avoided with better attention to detail and clearer communication. The wife was pleasant though, and that was a positive part of the stay. Edit: wow I'm so disappointed at how the owner responded to not just the message I sent him, but to this review that I posted on google. It's funny that he calls me a scammer and that I posted a fake review when I have the receipt to show when I stayed at the property and he's been boasting via text how many 5-star reviews he has, yet is so bothered by this one. Many of the positive reviews seem fake - I work in marketing and can tell based on the frequency and the content of the reviews whether or not they are genuine. HE HAS 4.8 STARS ON GOOGLE FROM FAKE REVIEWS, not bc he has an honest business. He got two more positive reviews in the last 24 hours to make up for this one negative review. Pretty sus for a tiny hotel with limited rooms. Hilarious that he calls this a fake review when he pays for his. So believe every negative review on here bc that is the true reflection of what it's like to do business with this owner. I notified him 45 minutes after bc I didn't want to bother him while he was cleaning the bathroom. You can see the timestamp that literally messaged him about the hair one minute after he notified me that the bathroom was cleaned. We spent about an hour unable to relax and wind down after a long day of walking around the city while our bathroom was getting cleaned and sheets being replaced. Also know that the home is set up like a dorm, where the bathroom is either shared or on a completely separate floor. Very different from what you'd expect from an actual hotel, and feels more like a hostel. In our initial conversation, he never mentioned that it was a subtotal or pretax amount that he was quoting me, and only the morning after I messaged him, did he respond to let me know that it was the subtotal price that I was quoted. I highly recommend seeing the other negative reviews, as they indicate how money hungry Ryan is. I never requested a full refund, only the taxes which he failed to mention which I think is very reasonable, but he went on about his 5-star reviews that he paid for lol. He apparently charges people $15 for a parking pass, without letting them know that parking is not guaranteed. I didn't see one parking spot open in my walk around the neighborhood at 9pm which confirms the disappointment in the other reviews. LACK OF TRANSPARENCY = DISHONESTY and he fails to understand this! I attached my receipt showing proof of my stay, and the messages between us to show proof that I'm not a scammer, since Ryan seems to have a habit of gaslighting people reading the reviews. He certainly lives up to the name of his hotel. If you have ANY hiccups during your stay, don't expect him to be compassionate as he runs his business like a big corporation with a cold heart rather than a small business, lacking an ounce of compassion or accountability even when they are a result of his own mistakes and dishonesty.

Gorgeous, peaceful, and serene getaway!…read more We recently stayed in the suite above the garage, and it was a wonderful experience. The room is incredibly spacious and well-equipped with a king bed, couch, additional seating, a mini-fridge, and an armoire--the perfect amount of space for two people. The bathroom is equally roomy with a great walk-in shower, and Wi-Fi is available. A few helpful logistical tips for future guests: Accessibility: The entrance is up a beautiful stone stairway to a small patio. There is no elevator, so keep this in mind if you are traveling with heavy luggage. Arrival: Pay close attention to the address signs! The driveway is easily missed and the roads leading in are quite narrow. The Vibe: This is a lovely, no-frills accommodation. Communication is minimal and done strictly via email or phone calls (no texting), and it is cash-only. The owners live on-site and whip up a delicious breakfast every morning. Their fresh-from-the-oven popovers were an absolute highlight--we grabbed a handful to snack on throughout the day, and they were just as good cold! My only minor regret is that I would have loved to explore the beautiful property more, but I wasn't entirely sure which areas were off-limits. Next time, I'll definitely be sure to ask the hosts for a quick property tour. The owners are incredibly accommodating, and this location is well worth the stay. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to future guests!

The breakfast was better than anything I was imagining. We were served fresh popovers and jam, a stuffed avocado half with salsa and egg on top, and a fresh pot of French press. Their dog, Max, is adorable and entertaining. We are moving to the area and we will be recommending to people visiting to stay here.

They aren't owned nor managed by a single company. The Bristol Apartments, for example, is owned by one investment company that is different than the empty towers and the Hyatt is a Hyatt property. It's a bit confusing if this review is for the neighborhood? Do we review neighborhoods now? And it is for all intents and purposes a neighborhood. There's one road in and one road out with the Hyatt, the Bristol, Tra, Peyrassol, the Seattle Family Center, Dock and Drink, and Water's Table filling out the portfolio. It is very pleasant with Coulon Beach Park next door and excellent viewing of fireworks when that resumes. With the parking garage there's plenty of parking though I cannot stress more than ever do not leave any valuables in sight in your vehicle. Southport may be isolated, but that isn't a deterrent for thieves. Personally I'd recommend parking where there's foot traffic since the upper levels are vacant I've only seen smashed out windows at those levels. And it is a pleasant place! In the summers it is busy. The water is so close and the views amazing. I love the four restaurants. It can get loud, and with the exception of a few incidents in 2020 due to people being angry about the mandates at the time it is a very safe space where families, dog walkers, and cute couples gather. Many a wedding takes place in the warmer months so it isn't uncommon to see beautiful gowns and fancy tuxedos, though I'm partial to the Indian weddings since the guests come in beautifully colored saris. There is a lot of diversity at the waterfront and that makes it a wonderful place to be. The winters can be busy too with Coulon Beach Park putting up lights for the holidays and Argosy cruises bringing the Christmas boats by. I always appreciate the carolers. I only wish people would acknowledge the road properly. Drivers ignore the speed limit signs, occasionally just stop in the middle street, or try to double park. Pedestrians often aren't much better because though there's a great sidewalk that connects the docks to the Bristol running up to Coulon Beach Park they'll just walk down the middle of the road like it's a bike path. I have seen a few close calls with pedestrians almost being hit because they're walking down the road instead of the sidewalk. It is a great area.
