3b2b Modern Unit w/ Stunning Green Lake View

The location, space and comfort of the house were all fantastic. We particularly loved being in walking distance of shops and restaurants as well as the unbelievable view of Green Lake, including a giant cherry tree in bloom!

The house is wonderful. The view of Green Lake is beautiful and being able to access the lake with so many options, swimming, boating, etc was great. Nice shops in walking distance and nice evening relaxation on the porch. The access was difficult with unmarked (wrong address) to the steps leading to the house from Green Lake side and a complete inaccessible parking and walkway due to large construction job blocking everything on the East side Woodland Ave side. No warning about this difficulty so it was hard to locate the house. Once in, however, it was wonderful. I am sure once the construction is done, it will be accessible once again.

We loved Green Lake - it’s a great location for a few days/week in Seattle. The lake itself is fantastic for running, walking, boating and this property could not be better located. Also there are plenty of nice cafes and restaurants nearby. It was a pity that the professional manager appointed to liaise with guests and manage the property seems uninterested (polite, yes, but not engaged). Communication was a big issue - we sent a few messages after booking which did not receive a reply. The check-in was messy and the manager noted that they were not used to the VRBO platform. Also, the manager does not appear to know that some items need to be addressed - taken individually none of them are big issues but collectively they give the impression that they are cutting corners to maximise rental yield - there’s nothing wrong with wanting to earn a return on a holiday rental but it is a problem when a property is advertised as a premium holiday letting but it is not managed as such. One issue worth mentioning, as it might be of interest to other potential guests, is the fact that (in summer) it’s broad daylight in the bedrooms from 6 am as the blinds installed are pretty cheap and ineffective in keeping the sun out. This may not be an issue for some visitors…. That said, it wouldn’t take much to address the issues we ran into.
