Vashon island is a peaceful community with small town charm located on one of the Pacific Northwest’s Puget Sound Islands.

Enjoy the incredible beach, bird watching, views & Mt Rainier. The sunrises and moonrises are amazing.

We are located 5 miles, 10-12 minutes, from town where there is a large selection of great shopping, restaurants, bakeries & entertainment.

There are many restaurants to enjoy from Earthen Bistro, featuring local farm to table modern American meals, to a family friendly atmosphere at The Hardware Store Restaurant or Island Queen. The Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie is a local hub, but don't take my word for it...explore all that this small friendly town has to offer.

It's a short drive to Point Rubinson Lighthouse. While you're there be sure to visit our very own Thomas Dambo Troll! One of five trolls made from recycles rubbish and natural elements created in the PNW known as "Northwest Trolls: Way Of The Bird King". You cannot miss it!
There are 4 parking spaces in the driveway directly in front of the garage.

Guests have access to the entire 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage, except for the locked storage closets in the hallway and laundry room, the large uncovered porch, and the covered patio. Guests do not have access to the garage.

There are two (2) adult kayaks, two (2) children's kayaks, and one (1) paddle board available for guest use located by the covered patio and gate to the beach.

We are located on the water! Guests have direct access to the private community beach during low tide. Please be mindful of the quaint and quiet beach community. During high tide the water comes up to the sea wall which feels like the home is on the water (great selfie photos!)

Guests may bring their boat and lauch from the public boat launch nearby or arrive by boat. There are two (2) buoys directly in front of our home. You will need a small inflatable to get to and from the boat if anchored at the furtherest buoy which remain afloat. The closest buoy will be grounded during low tide.

Enjoy hanging out in the spacious living room with the wall of windows overlooking the water while you relax on the chaise sofa watching your favorite live cable TV or streaming your favorite movies from your streaming apps. Want to disconnect from the modern world? Grab one of our books and a warm throw blanket, a hot cup of tea and settle into the comfy chair with an amazing view of the Puget Sound, Maury Island, and Mount Rainier peeking over the evergreen trees. Get a closeup view of the wildlife through the binoculars and take in the stars and galaxies through the telescope.

Gather around the modern farmhouse dining table to enjoy a delicious homecooked meal or takeout from one of our fantastic local restaurants. Memories are made while lingering over good food and great wine. Grilling out on the covered patio while enjoying the sound of the ocean and fresh air is always an option. Dine al fresco under the outdoor chandelier next to the garden.

Meander up the stairs to the loft king en suite bedroom where another wall of windows gives a full view of the water and neighborly homes along the shoreline. The two balconies are perfect for a personal quiet spot to take in the view and enjoy the island life.

Choose between one of the kayaks and a paddle board that are available to our guests and head out to the water to explore Vashon Island from a different view. Stroll along the beach to collect sea shells and, you guessed it, sand dollars. Embrace the serenity that is Vashon.

Great Stay!
We had a lovely time, the view of the water from cottage was amazing! It was exactly what we needed to relax. The one thing, with us being a bit older, we didn’t realize that there would be so many steep stairs coming from garage down to cottage.
