  I would highly recommend the Magnolia Blue Heather Cottage! My husband and I took our two children (ages 18 and 22) and our son's girlfriend and this property was just perfect for our family! The property is tastefully decorated and very clean. We loved
  the location, just a few minutes from downtown Seattle yet far enough away from the city when you needed to get away. Magnolia is a quaint community and downtown is just a short walk away. Our first night in Seattle we stayed in a downtown hotel which was
  very nice; however, the rental of the Magnolia Blue Heather Cottage was roughly the same cost per night and we had all the conveniences of home. It was so nice to have a "home" to come back to rather than a hotel room each night. So very nice to have a washer/dryer
  to keep the laundry clean as well. Thanks for an amazing stay. We are scheduling our next trip around the availability of this property...we loved it!

• I cannot wait to go back! My daughter and I stayed in the cottage and loved walking to town for coffee in the morning, dinner and wine bars in the evening! It was perfect plus a very easy drive into the City!

  We loved this house! Our goal was to escape the July Texas heat, relax, and reconnect as a family by leaving our busy schedules behind. We were not disappointed. Everything we wanted to do was just a quick walk away; we will most definitely rent this house again.

  We chose the Magnolia Blue Heather Cottage because it was just a short distance from our daughter's home in Magnolia. We made the right choice - convenient location (to our daughter's home, downtown area of Magnolia, and the Pike Place Market). The kitchen was well furnished with utensils, the furniture was in excellent shape, and the entertainmnet center was great. It appeared that a new washer and dryer, water heater, and heater had been recently installed. The house was spotless when we arrived and we tried to leave the house as we found it. The property management company was so good in working with us to accomodate the dates that we chose to stay in the house. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend and we hope to be able to rent the Magnolia Blue Cottage in the future.

  This was a great property and location for our family of 4. We spent 6 nights and were so glad to have all the comforts of home: separate bedrooms, cozy living room, flat screen TV, well equipped kitchen and a small front yard where the kids could juggle their soccer ball! Took some nice runs along Magnolia Blvd with Puget Sound in the background. We would stay here again!

  Really clean, spacious, well-appointed, comfortable. Ten minutes from the heart of Seattle. Loved it!

• This charming cottage in a quiet neighborhood provided the perfect respite from the busy city (especially if you're not use to all the hustle and bustle).

  You can enjoy coffee on the front patio while walkers, joggers, etc. occasionally pass by or you can retreat to the serenity of the private back yard. This cozy cottage is very nicely decorated and was a welcome haven for our family during our stay. Great place to stay!
  
  Note to the owners and management: 1) Could use 2 or 3 more pots and pans. There was no non-stick frying pan or griddle large enough for cooking more than one pancake or slice of french toast at a time. 2) Cooking/baking utensils (measuring cups, etc.) were a very bare minimum. 3) Need more hooks for bath towels. With 4 people staying in the cottage and only one towel rack, we had to be pretty creative. Perhaps a double hook on the back of each bedroom door for hanging towels? 4) The master bedroom bed, while comfortable, squeaks/creaks loudly EVERY time someone moves, rolls over or gets out of/into bed, ugh. (We are average to below average-size people) 5) It would be great to have 2 or 3 more detailed maps of Seattle and surrounding areas. 6) Info for bus schedules & routes would also be helpful. 7) I searched for phone books and did not find any. On our last day they were discovered in the cabinet above the washer on the shelf above the laundry detergent. Seriously? This is NOT where people are going to look for them. 8)It would have been helpful to have more specific directions to Albertson's in the info binder provided. 10)As an owner of a house cleaning business that services a couple of vacation rentals, I do hope that your cleaners are compensated well for their performance. Jennifer left the home dust-free and spotless for us. :)

  Kathleen Y from Brewster, MA recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed for 8 days in October. The house was perfect for our family and conveniently located next to everything we needed. Our 19 month old was so happy to play in the beautiful back yard! Our only complaint would be the 18mo-3 yr toy box was lacking some basic toys for our 19 month old boy. Maybe investing in some legos, a ball or some more trucks would make it a better value. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sea to Sky Rentals. It was a perfect vacation house!

  This was our third year renting a house in Seattle for the Summer, and this property was by far the best. It was lovingly maintained with top of the line furnishings and kitchenware. The grounds were maintained beautifully. The location of Magnolia is perfect..right by the water, and downtown, yet safe and secluded. We loved it and hope to stay there each year!

  We absolutely loved the Magnolia Cottage!! It was perfect for the 4 of us! Clean, lovely decor, wonderful location, terrific backyard with a little patio area! The only suggestion i would make is to replace the master bedroom bed; it sags and was not comfortable for our backs.
  Thanks

  a guest from Los Altos, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Very nice, well-maintained, cozy property on the edge of Magnolia village. We had a lovely time in the house and the neighborhood. A real home away from home. Some minor issues: The access code had not been re-set properly so we had to contact the management company, and wait for them to get back to us after hours on a weekend. The house had a bewildering, complete lack of dish towels and only bright white bath and hand towels-- not the best for kitchen use. Look out for the hard edge on the bedframe in the master bedroom if you get up during the night. From the info notebook for guests in the house, the owners appear to be clean freaks. This is good if you like a very clean house and are willing to treat it well. If you want a place to mess up and party loudly, you'd best look elsewhere. Someone needs to explain the Seattle trash and recycling rules for those of us who don't live there. The printed guidelines from the trash company in the house notebook are hard to figure out, especially where food, food containers, and things like paper towels and tissues are concerned. All this is minor compared to the general wonderfulness of the house and setting.

  a guest from Burlingame, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Stayed for a week in August. Beautiful weather and location in residential area with easy access to Seattle Center and downtown. Grocery store, public heated pool, playground 3 blks away. Discovery Park (trails, lighthouse, beach), fish ladder and Chittendam
  Locks within jogging distance. SeaTac 20 minutes drive. Stocked with maps, guidebooks, 100's cable channels, DVD (request DVDs from Sea to Sky), BBQ, airconditioner, washer/dryer, gourmet sugar and spice supply. Neighbor house on sale had very loud party on
  Friday til late. Nightly sprinkler system clangs twice loudly under floorboards like a head on car accident--startling if not expected, but once we figured out what it was, not that bad. Glass stovetop had burned residue and fridge was missing one lower glass
  shelf. Plusses definitely outweighed negatives. Felt like a home away from home.

  Laura Y from Chicago, Il recommends this vacation rental

  Magnolia cottage is an adorable, clean property. The location is great as you can walk to anything you need. The only negative is the master bedroom's air conditioning situation. It is a window box that constantly blows out strong air (even at the lowest fan setting). The air that came out of it was musty smelling and my husband & I both became very congested after the first night. The other a/c unit for the house was much better and because the weekend was relatively cool, we were able to keep our window unit off and sleep with the door open to get air from the front. It was better, but our allergies were still affected. Overall, it is a great place. If one of your guests has bad allergies, I'd think twice about this property, or at least have them stay in the second bedroom.

  • Manager Responded on 8/9/2011

    Thank you for your comments and I'm sorry you had issue with the air conditioner in the bedroom. We will look into the matter since the air conditioner is less than a year old- installed brand new last year. We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall. The Magnolia Blue Heather Cottage is a gem of a house in a gorgeous neighborhood!

  The house was very nice and clean with a pretty backyard. The only problem was the rental airbed. The first one lost all air w/in an hour or so, and the second one still lost a lot of air every night, so that it was very soft. Other than that, it was a great place to stay!

  We had a very nice stay at this property. It suited our purposes perfectly. It was nicely appointed and thoughtfully stocked with necessities. The agents were remarkably helpful and the door lock combination made it very easy to go in and out. It was bright inside...even with all that Seattle rain.
