Have you ever thought about renting a part of your home to vacationers?   It is a great way to make some additional income.  You can totally control your schedule of visitors by blocking out days/weeks you need to reserve for your own use.

There are many rental sites, VRBO.com and Flipkey.com, where you pay an annual fee to use their reservation system.  Rental requests are sent to you via these sites.  You then communicate with guests to arrange their dates of stay, communication of house rules, rates, etc.

I rented my lower level apartment for $100 a night.  I met many wonderful people from all over the world.  They enjoyed our quiet close-in Seattle neighborhood, appreciated the extra space and the good rental rates.  It was a win/win!

Check out my View Ridge listing that would be a perfect vacation rental, live upstairs with 2 bedrooms and a large sunroom - rent the downstairs apartment with 2 bedrooms, full kitchen and lots of space for lounging.  6514 53rd Ave NE, Seattle.

View Ridge is in northeast Seattle just west of Magnuson Park.  It cover the east and west sides of a hill that overlooks Mt. Rainier, Lake Washington, the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.  The University of Washington is about 1 mile away as is Children's Hospital.  Downtown Seattle is about a 12 minute drive away.

Magnuson Park is on a former Naval Base deeded to Seattle about 15 years ago.  After neighborhood input, the park develped a little something for everyone.  There are sports fields for soccer, baseball, frisbee, lacrosse and more including one field of artifical turf.  A wetlands meanders through the southern half of the park.  Lake Washington beach access includes lifeguards, and boat access.  A large off-lease dog park is very popular with local dogs and their owners.  Children enjoy the playground and gardens.

Finally, the former Naval officer buildings are used for meetings, and private businesses.  The Mountaineers, Sail Sand Point and a gym all are housed in former military buildings.  The park is utilized by thousands of Seattle residents.  View Ridge is lucky to be across the street from this wonderful community park.

View Ridge has underground utiilties so no pesky electrical wires to obstruct the beautiful views and most streets have curbs and sidewalks.  Come enjoy the convenience of an in-city neighborhood with access to acres of park land, friendly residents and great local businesses!
