180 degree, unobstructed bluff view! Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into 180 degree, unobstructed bluff view!, I honestly wasn’t prepared for what I’d see through those floor-to-ceiling windows. The name pretty much says it all, but experiencing that sweeping view of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains — well, it hits differently in person. This four-star property sits perched on West Seattle’s bluff like it was designed specifically to show off the city’s best angles. You know what struck me most? The way the light changes throughout the day, painting the water and mountains in completely different moods.

Location & Neighborhood

Palm Avenue Southwest might not ring a bell if you’re not familiar with Seattle, but trust me — this spot is gold. You’re tucked away from the downtown hustle but still close enough that the city feels accessible, not distant. I mean, West Seattle has this laid-back vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere in the area. There’s something about being on the bluff that makes you feel like you’re in your own little world, especially when the ferries are gliding across the bay below. The neighborhood itself is residential and quiet, which couples seem to absolutely love — and honestly, I can see why.

The Space

The apartment itself feels more like a friend’s really well-designed place than a typical rental. The kitchen is actually functional — I’m talking full-size appliances and counter space where you can spread out if you want to cook. The living area flows naturally toward those massive windows, and there’s this comfortable sectional where I found myself just sitting and watching the water for way longer than I planned. The whole space has this modern but warm feel, nothing too sterile or hotel-like.

What Makes It Special

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places with water views, but this one’s different. The “unobstructed” part isn’t just marketing speak — there’s literally nothing between you and that panorama. Sunset here is something else entirely, especially when the mountains catch that golden light. The room setup maximizes every angle of the view, and I noticed they’ve positioned everything so you can see the water from multiple spots. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself taking way too many photos and actually wanting to stay in rather than rushing out to explore.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.9 rating isn’t an accident — this place delivers on its promise in a way that feels almost effortless. The location consistently gets top marks, and after spending time here, I get it. You’re getting that premium Seattle experience without the premium Seattle hotel prices. The space feels private and special, which explains why couples rate it so highly for romantic getaways. Plus, there’s decent parking, which anyone who’s dealt with Seattle street parking will appreciate. It’s one of those places that makes you want to plan your next trip back before you’ve even left.

Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in Seattle before winter light festivals glow through Pioneer Square.
