Stunning and serene

This home has absolutely everything. A remarkable view, wonderful layout, ample amenities, and very kind host. I hosted a wellness retreat with a group of women and it could not have been a better location. Yoga on the waterfront grass, group meals in the gorgeous kitchen, sunset kayaking. It was perfect and we will absolutely be coming back!

A magical place

I hesitate to write this as I don't really want this amazing secret to get out too far: this home is perfect. The property, the view, the spaces and the communication of Mike all surpassed our our wildest VRBO dreams. Our visit was just made so comfortable, even in the snow. The home is incredibly clean and has all you need for a lovely vacation. The basement play area was such a bonus for the three little kiddos in our family. We cannot wait to explore the property and the island again when summer comes.

Wonderful Holiday Getaway

My family flew in from out of state to meet my newborn over the holidays, and we wanted to find a large home to stay due to the small size of our home, and Mike’s waterfront home in Vashon was the perfect retreat! The house was large, with plenty of space for everyone to have their own bedroom. We really appreciated the living area with ample seating and the gorgeous views. We were snowed in during our stay, and were able to cook all of our meals in the generous kitchen. Mike was an extremely helpful and responsive host, updating us when the power went out and with other updates before and during our stay. We were very grateful for the generator during the cold weather. We sadly didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub due to the inclement weather, but it looked lovely! I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again - it truly is a luxury home!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Married couple with lots of friends with lots of kids. We love spending time with them at the house! Family in the Midwest, but we enjoy living on the West Coast for the beauty and the people.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a serene retreat close to Seattle, and we found it! This is the perfect combination of forest and waterfront. The landscaping makes you feel like you're in wilderness, and the water has everything you desire in a Sound view on the Colvos Passage. It's less than 20 minutes from downtown on the passenger ferry, and a 7 minute drive from the ferry to the house--we can be from Seattle to Vashon, door-to-door, in under 1 hour. Vashon is our second home because it's so close, and yet, as everyone says, "You feel like you're a million miles away."
