Rich in both modern comfort and classic craftsman charm, Harbor Haven is a one-of-a-kind Seattle retreat. From its century-old style to its thoughtful updates throughout, this property makes a beautiful home base whether you're summer vacationing, visiting the University of Washington, or working downtown.
This three-story home is two blocks away from the Burke Gilman Trail, a scenic 27-mile bike and pedestrian trail that runs along the ship canal from the shore of Puget Sound to the shore of Lake WA and beyond. It sits between Northlake and Wallingford, just over a half-mile stroll from spectacular sunsets at Gas Works Park on Lake Union. So much is close by, including UW's gorgeous campus (three-quarters of a mile), Wallingford's little hub of shops and restaurants (three-quarters of a mile), Husky Stadium (over one mile), and Woodland Park Zoo (two miles). The Fremont neighborhood and its shops and restaurants are just over a mile away.
The backyard is a haven in spring, summer, and autumn - a place to relax on the garden terrace in the shade of a stately Douglas fir. Light the gas grill for a barbecue dinner, gather around the patio table at sunset, and slip into the private hot tub to unwind beneath a star-filled sky.
The house itself dates back to 1925, which you'll feel in its small details - the wood floors, the moldings, the beautiful windows. Yet it's also been outfitted with contemporary comforts, from smart TVs to the home office with its dual desks and complimentary WiFi. The kitchen is especially lovely, offering a center island, a farm dining table, and culinary essentials ranging from stainless steel appliances to a blender and stand mixer.
Begin each morning with a workout in the home weight room and end each evening with a movie in the living room or den. There are five bedrooms to choose from - three on the top floor (including a primary bedroom with window AC), one on the main floor (the den doubles as a bedroom), and one in the basement.

Vacasa is horrible. Full stop. We reached out once we got in and it took them two days to reply. In the meantime, we also sent two additional messages - one about standing water in the dishwasher and one about ants in the basement room. It took over 48 hours to reply. They said they had high volumes but surely there could have been an automated response letting us know? We were left on read. We ended up getting ant spray and dealing with it. But the upstairs was hot and there was only 1 trash bag for a 4-day stay. Also the pool person showed up to service the spa without warning - just walked into the backyard and startled us. Not a great experience.

This is a large attractive house at first glance. The bathrooms are nicely updated. The kitchen is large and a good space for families. The garden is nice for sitting outside and chilling.However, the bedrooms are shabby, and I don't mean shabby chic. They are in dire need of redecorating. Most walls, ceilings, and doors are stained and have many bare patches. The carpets are stained and grimy looking. My bedspread was torn. Most of the dinnerware is mismatched with many chips. These things were not welcoming. Three of us searched for a switch for the sink disposal but could not find it. There were no instructions. Overall, we felt that the owners didn't care about the appearance or maintenance of the house.

Beautiful home in a great location. Comfortably accommodated our group of 8. Parking was easy. We were able to walk down to the Burke Gilman trail to the Gasworks park, Ivar's and even Husky Stadium (about 35 min walk). I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing property and local host, Vacasa central customer service is awful
We absolutely loved the property. It was big enough for our large family, especially clean, with a huge kitchen with all of the cooking essentials we needed. It's in a calm but centrally located neighborhood that's convenient to almost anywhere in downtown Seattle and the UW area, and only a few blocks' walk to Lake Union. The hot tub, grill, and fire pit were really nice touches. Overall great spot. Also, the local rep for the property manager, Belinda, was awesome. She was very responsive and helpful. Now, the negative. This property is managed by Vacasa. When I inquired the day prior about an early check in with the central Vacasa point of contact that had reached out, the answer was basically, no and don't even ask. It's difficult for me to believe that the house wasn't ready until exactly 4pm on check in day. I understand that early check in isn't ever guaranteed, but Vacasa acted like they weren't even going to try. We tried to ask again on the day of check-in, and again got the total shut-down. The same thing was true for the check out. Luckily, Belinda was much more helpful and accommodating. Overall, I will absolutely avoid any bookings associated with Vacasa in the future. I will stick to property owners with local points of contact, identified in advance, that I can contact like a real person, not some nameless and unfriendly central office (like a hotel chain). Overall, outstanding property, but we'll stay away from Vacasa in the future.
