Good to know
MAIN LEVEL — KITCHEN, ISLAND SEATING & DINING The chef's kitchen and large walnut-top island serve as the heart of the main floor, with plenty of space to cook and enjoy light meals or drinks. Gather around the large harvest table in the dining area and pick out an album to play on the record player from our curated vinyl collection. ◆ PARLOR (LIVING ROOM 1) The parlor is at the front of the home, just off the large open kitchen and dining space. Anchoring the turret, it's one of the home's original rooms and a true showpiece. Restored with new wood paneling, soft-close barn-style sliding doors, mid-century styling, and dimmable brass lighting, the space blends Victorian character with comfortable modern living. Bay windows overlook mature rhododendrons, bringing in natural light and garden views. Relax, stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV, or enjoy conversation in this design-forward lounge. ◆ BEDROOMS & BATHROOM Two uniquely styled queen bedrooms are located off the main living areas and share one full bathroom. Both bedrooms feature high ceilings, luxury bedding, plush robes, dimmable lighting, and restored vintage campaign desks that can be used as a workspace or vanity. Closets include hangers, luggage racks, and hooks to make it easy to unpack and settle in. The full bathroom includes a tub and shower with a rain showerhead and handheld sprayer, along with plenty of towel storage and extra amenities in case you forgot something. • Peacock Suite — Queen Bed Located at the front of the home with soft garden-facing light, the Peacock Suite pairs rich jewel tones with a fabric headboard, brass reading sconces, and custom artwork. Convenient power and USB outlets built into the headboard keep devices within easy reach. Positioned away from the kitchen and main living areas, it offers a more tucked-away feel. • Coral Suite — Queen Bed The larger of the two bedrooms, the Coral Suite features tall windows, surrounding tree views, and a cozy swivel chair with ottoman. The built-in queen bed includes convenient power and USB outlets at the headboard, along with dimmable bedside lighting. The bathroom is conveniently located just across the hall. • Flexible Sleeping Options We provide several sleeping arrangement options for guests traveling with friends or for business. In addition to the two queen bedrooms, two Twin beds can be arranged in select areas of the home or configured together as one King bed upon request. OUTDOOR SPACE — BACKYARD & DECK The backyard is designed to be part of the way you live in the home. Prep a meal in the kitchen, step outside to the BBQ, and set the table for dinner outdoors. With the deck and backyard just steps from the main living spaces, it's easy for everyone to move between cooking, dining, and spending time together. Dine al fresco at the bar-height table, swing in the hammock chairs, or head to the fire pit as the sun goes down. Outdoor place settings, pitchers, and drinkware are provided in the lower-level Tiki Bar for meals and drinks outside. The fully fenced private backyard is surrounded by mature trees and bamboo, with a sunny deck, shaded fire pit area, Tiki planters, and string and accent lighting for warm Seattle evenings. LOWER LEVEL — TIKI LOUNGE & ENTERTAINMENT SPACE Experience our Mid-Century Modern Tiki Lounge just a few steps down from the main floor. This dedicated lower-level entertainment space is part of our 3 spaces in one summer offering, with a retro vinyl lounge, movie theatre, and opportunities to listen to music, make music, or enjoy karaoke together. It's also a cool place to gather on hot summer days. ◆ TIKI BAR & RETRO VINYL LOUNGE The Tiki Bar and Retro Vinyl Lounge flow together as a casual place to enjoy drinks, play games, or choose an album from our curated vinyl collection. Relax on the cozy loveseat while you listen to a favorite record, read a book, or enjoy a quiet conversation. Drinkware for indoor and outdoor use is provided, with picnic supplies available for outdoor excursions upon request. ◆ THE ULTIMATE LOUNGE FOR MUSIC LOVERS As musicians, music is a big part of our lives, and we've built it into the Pineapple Castle experience to bring a little summer getaway vibe indoors when the Seattle sun fades. We offer plenty of ways for you to make music part of your stay, whether you're listening or making some of your own. Pick up an electric guitar and amp, acoustic guitar, keyboard, or percussion instruments and play. A karaoke machine and colorful lights are also available upon request, turning the Tiki Bar into your own private karaoke stage. ◆ MEDIA LOUNGE / MOVIE THEATRE Tucked around the corner, the lower level opens into a spacious Media Lounge with a huge sectional and large 4K Smart TV. An Amazon Fire TV Stick provides easy access to popular streaming services, or choose a classic movie from our video collection. The oversized sectional offers plenty of room for movie nights and group viewing, while the lower level stays naturally cool on hot Seattle days. Posters and artwork from our own collection, including pieces we've created ourselves, give the space a personal, nostalgic feel. • Flexible Sleeping Options We provide several sleeping arrangement options for guests traveling with friends or for business. In addition to the two queen bedrooms, two Twin beds can be arranged in select areas of the home or configured together as one King bed upon request.

Guest Access
Guests have access to all three spaces described above: the main floor, lower-level Tiki Lounge and entertainment space, and private backyard. <b>◆ PARKING & ENTRY</b> The home sits on a corner lot with access from a quiet side street. Guests may use the covered carport, and EV charging is available by request. FREE street parking is generally easy nearby. Guests enter through the shared front door into a secured foyer, then access their private guest space through a separate set of doors. The foyer is the only shared interior area. Early luggage storage may be available in the entry area before check-in, and coats or outerwear may be stored in the entry closet during your stay. <b>◆ OWNER SPACE — UPPER LEVEL (NOT INCLUDED)</b> The second floor is a separate, private owner space and is not included in the rental. Guests have exclusive use of the main floor, lower-level Tiki Lounge, and backyard during their stay. Hosts do not enter or use these spaces. As with a multi-level home or apartment, you may occasionally hear normal household sounds or footsteps from the floor above. We are mindful of our guests and keep noise to a minimum. The garage is reserved for owner use and is accessed separately from the driveway. We give guests their privacy throughout their stay. We're available if needed for local recommendations, questions, or assistance.
