Inside this 1915 cottage showcases many treasures from the Captain’s seafaring travels. The house is situated on a corner lot with a front and back yard, where one can sit under the shade of fruit trees or take a walk to explore the neighborhood full of great restaurants, cafes and breweries with outdoor seating. **If you have mobility issues please note steps are required to enter the property and access the bathroom.

Small but cozy. Nice amenities and perfect location for our stay.

Very cute and tidy. A little musty when we checked in. But cleared quickly. Had everything we needed.

2.0 / 10.0

The photos are not representative of the property. The exterior appears not to have been painted in years, and stairs to the front door look in disrepair. The yard does not resemble the pictures, neither front nor back, and the patio "furniture" needs replacing.There is a step down to the bathroom which elderly persons would have to navigate in the dark while using the toilet in the middle of the night. The bathroom itself is barely navigable, a large cast-iron bathtub dominates the entire small room where a large, older person would find it difficult to use the toilet, or even climb over the edge of the tub where the shower is located. Completely inaccessible for some folks, impossible for my husband, who is in his eighties. We abandoned the "cottage" as it was impossible for us to make it work.

Perfect quiet location with parking for us to use as our Basecamp!

Clean, well supplied, great location. Very cute nautical decor.Yard/garden was full of weeds and dead flower heads. Too bad because it was a beautiful, sunny weekend, but the garden/yard was not inviting at all, House was great, yard so much.

A step back in time as the property has an historical feel so appropriate for Ballard. Definitely a charmer with gracious hosts. Loved the fresh flowers and seltzer water in the frig. Private little back garden made morning coffee even better

10.0 / 10.0

This cottage was perfect for a solo staycation! The decor was so wonderfully curated, and the house had everything I needed to be nice and cozy for a few days. Loved sitting in the garden, and there are so many great restaurants and amenities in walking distance. Renee checked in with me halfway through, and when I mentioned that I was sad that it had rained and I couldn't enjoy the garden as much as I'd planned, she popped by right away to bring over fresh dry cushions for the garden chairs!

Love the location, the ambience. Very comfortable.

8.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

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!

The property itself is small but quaint and had everything we needed. Renee was excellent at communicating. The washing machine and dryer was a pleasant surprise.
