Sunlit contemporary Bellevue Home w a Lush Garden

Sunlit contemporary Bellevue Home w a Lush Garden Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Sunlit contemporary Bellevue Home w a Lush Garden, you immediately understand why couples rate this four-star property so highly. The name isn’t just marketing speak — there’s actually this gorgeous garden that wraps around the front of the house, and honestly, it sets the tone for everything else. I mean, you’re still in Bellevue, but somehow this place feels like a peaceful retreat tucked away from the tech hub energy that usually defines the area.

Location & Neighborhood

The spot on 107th Avenue Southeast is pretty brilliant, actually. You’re close enough to downtown Bellevue that you can easily hit the shopping at Bellevue Square or grab dinner at one of those upscale restaurants, but far enough out that you get this residential quiet that’s hard to find. Recent guests gave the location a 9.5 rating, and I get it — there’s something about being able to park right on-site (which, let’s be honest, is a huge win in this area) and still feel like you’re somewhere special. The neighborhood has that established Bellevue vibe with mature trees and well-kept homes.

The Space

Inside, the contemporary design actually works really well — it’s not trying too hard to be trendy, just clean lines and lots of natural light streaming through well-placed windows. The garden views from inside are what really sold me on the place, though. You know how some vacation rentals feel a bit sterile? This doesn’t have that problem at all. There’s this flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces that makes the whole property feel bigger than it probably is, and the furnishings strike that sweet spot between stylish and actually comfortable.

The Garden Experience

That lush garden I mentioned earlier — it’s not just pretty to look at. There are these little seating areas where you can actually spend time, maybe have your morning coffee or wind down in the evening. The landscaping feels thoughtful, not just thrown together, with different areas that give you options depending on your mood. It’s the kind of outdoor space that makes you want to slow down a bit, which is probably why couples seem to love it here so much.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.4 rating makes sense when you add everything up — the free parking alone saves you hassle and money, but it’s really the combination of being well-located without feeling crowded that seems to win people over. Couples especially seem to appreciate having their own space with that garden setting, and honestly, I can see why you’d want to come back. It’s one of those places where the photos don’t oversell it, which is refreshing. You get what you expect, plus those little touches like the garden views that make it feel more special than your typical Bellevue accommodation.

Early hotels booking in Seattle secures glassblowing workshops, Bainbridge tastings, and private Boeing factory tours.

Reviews of Sunlit contemporary Bellevue Home w a Lush Garden

• Thierry from United States – 18 March 2025 (8/10)

  Spacious and well provisioned.
  
  What could be improved: The master bedroom faces Bellevue Way, albeit 200 yards away but when cars drive by, you hear it.
  Unfortunately, the guest bathroom shower tub leaked so we couldn’t use it. The landlord offered to send a crew to fix it promptly but that was not working for us since we were there to celebrate Christmas with our daughter and her family.

• Galia from United States – 2 February 2025 (9/10)

• Gina from United States – 30 January 2025 (8/10)

  The property is spacious and clean.
  
  What could be improved: The garage is a tight fit for a minivan.

• Janna from United States – 5 August 2024 (9/10)

• Anabella from United States – 5 May 2024 (9/10)

  Location is excellent right on Bellevue way and only a few minutes to Bellevue Square with Great Restaurants inside and around. Groceries only a few minute's away like Safeway, QFC and Asian grocery Hmart.
  
  What could be improved: There was road construction going on across the street and front of the property. They were fixing potholes.

  This was a decent place to stay for a business trip with a coworker. It was very clean, and we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen seemed well stocked. The fireplace worked very well to heat up the living room area quickly. Having the garage is a nice security feature, and it is only a few minutes away and a straight shot into downtown Bellevue.
  
  What could be improved: First world problems…No Keurig and no coffee. We had to go out and find it in the morning. The window coverings don't completely cover the windows in the second bedroom, so we put up a blanket since we could easily see in the windows of a neighboring property at night. The living room furniture is more functional than comfortable. Not a "cozy" atmosphere. Also, be aware that this is a 3-story townhouse with lots of stairs and very tricky parking. Although a good system for access without an onsite host, it takes a bit of time to figure out the key and garage door access and which side to park on. Again, having the garage is a nice security feature, but it is small and we learned after the first night that we parked on the wrong side. It would have been nice to know before parking in the garage that the portable opener only works one side of the garage, and that side is actually larger than the other side. Live and learn!
