Wildlife watching in the window was amazing. We only stayed 2 nights and must have spent 12 hours just staring out the windows. The only drawback is you need to be fairly fit for the walk up and down to your vehicle but ir was fine foe us.. Really great location!!
Okay, youâre on Vashon Island and you want to know more? Look at the title above. Now thereâs much more but when youâre starting the day, sitting outside with a cup of fresh ground coffee (grinder provided by owner), having a seal come by to show you their fresh catch, you know your stay is going to go well. Have a day exploring and if you donât want to try a local restaurant, season some steaks and vegetables and do some grilling. Did I mention that the gas grill and seasonings are part of this package? By seasonings, Iâm not saying the usual salt and pepper but that cabinet was loaded. My favorite was a Parmesan, garlic, black truffle blend. We liked the relaxation of looking out into the water from the living room. The beds were comfortable and each room had an individual thermostat. Our child loved the downstairs bedroom, while we had plenty of room upstairs.Great communication with the owner, who takes pride in this home, we highly recommend it!
Over the holiday, our son and his girlfriend flew up from SF, and dear friends from Bellingham joined us on Vashon Is at this VRBO. We loved having the front-row view of the water--my husband and I are marine biologists--and the house worked out very well for the 6 of us. We did find the main access stairs a challenge (steep and sloped) for getting our gear to the house, but as soon I contacted the owners, they came up with a solution for us to use another, much safer stairs nearby. (Part of the issue was I misread their description of the stairs.) THe owners were responsive and lovely to work with. We will likely return!
This cozy little cabin right just steps from Quartermaster Harbor was just perfect for three ladies having a January "girls weekend" on Vashon Island. The neighborhood was quiet (in winter) and the view was spectacular! Comfortable furniture, good WiFi with a great laundry room. It has two small bedrooms with Queen beds upstairs - not very private as they share a "Jack and Jill" closet -but that was OK for single gals - it might be unomfortable for couples. There's third Queen bed in a curtained area off the living room. Only one bathroom, on the main floor. Appliances were older, but clean and functioning.Landlord was very accomodating and instructions were clear and easy to follow. We would stay again for sure. We would offer two notes: 1) There's a long, steep, switchback staircase from parking to cabin. Concrete steps were mossy and slightly slanted downward. Wooden steps were slippery. It was challenging for a couple of our group to navigate these in winter, but especially hauling luggage up and down. Our suggestion would be to pressure wash the concrete steps and add friction tape to the wooden steps to prevent slipping. This staircase should be clearly noted in posting as it would be unsuitable for some seniors or mobility challenged folks. 2) There is a nice, 60's style woodburning fireplace, however the wood stored out back was quite damp, despite being tarped, there was no kindling, and the hatchet was broken.We would stay there again for sure.
Two friends and I stayed at this lovely beach house for a long weekend away. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the living room was comfortable with amazing views of the water and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We were able to easily manage the stairs bringing our bags in and out of the property. Communication with the owners was easy and informative, we didn't have any trouble at all. My friends and I would absolutely return to this house.
This beach house was absolutely perfect in every way! Beautiful view, super calm and private yet with a community vibe, warm and cozy with options for a wood fire or the heater, and an excellent location! The kitchen was so well stocked, even for a full thanksgiving meal!
My friend and I stayed here mid-October and loved it! Everything about our stay was enjoyable. We especially liked strolling along the walkway and watching the birds and all the ocean-life! Everyone around was so friendly and we had the absolute best time relaxing on this vacation!!!
The property is beautiful! My two adult daughers and I were celebrating one daughter's birthday. There are 3 bedrooms so we each enjoyed our own bedroom. The beachfront home is right on the water so you can enjoy the tides coming in & out and see the passing boats. We enjoyed our puzzles on the kitchen table and cooking breakfast. We went out for dinner (Lunetta Pizzeria) and also brunch on Sunday (Hardware Store Restaurant) in town There are a lot of stairs (as reported) but my daughters carried the bags. We all would love to return!
Everything is as described or better, super well stocked, beautiful location. And the hospitality was next to none - we really felt right at home, and will miss Randy and the neighbors!
We deeply enjoyed our first trip to Vashon, and are already pondering when to return!
Unforgettable Retreat: Breathtaking Views and Luxurious Comfort at Vashon Island's Beach House
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Beach House on Vashon Island, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the stunning views took our breath away. The house is perched perfectly to offer panoramic vistas of the shimmering water and lush surroundings.The host was incredibly accommodating and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Whether youâre looking for a tranquil retreat or a place to gather with family and friends, the Beach House on Vashon Island is an absolute gem. I can't recommend it highly enough.
We came to the Vashon for our nieceâs wedding. We were so fortunate to find this house. The best part was the view and having a cup of coffee in the morning. The beds were so comfy and the decor was so cute! We had 3 adults and 2 teenagers and we had plenty of room to hangout and have privacy. The listing is clear. Thereâs only one bathroom and the steps to the home are steep. Would definitely comeback to this place in the future. Also, we were greeted warmly by Suzanne and Ryan!
Lovely cabin on the water. We enjoyed watching the water and the tides. We even got a treat of seeing a group of sea otters resting and then taking back off hours later. Comfortable accommodations and such a great setup. We enjoyed our time on Vashon!
