Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved staying at this Beach Cottage! Coffee on the deck in the morning was the most relaxing experience. We saw plenty of sea lions and the sunsets were spectacular! Allison had everything we needed and the cottage was extremely clean. We loved the location and loved that it was walking distance to the Burton Coffee Stand and the Mercantile! This is our third time renting the Beach Cottage and we can’t wait to get back! I highly recommend Vashon !

Beachy Cottage

Simple, clean, well appointed cottage right on the water. The location is a short walk to a general market and a 6 minute drive to the main village area of coffee shops, restaurants, hardware and grocery store. Had a terrific visit to Vashon.

Fantastic Clean Cozy Gettaway

We loved our stay at this clean and cozy cabin, especially being on the water. We had coffee on the deck overlooking an amazing sunrise every morning. The place was stocked well for any family cooking. We enjoyed being close to beaches & hikes and the easy drive into town. With little kids, the only minor drawback was being so close to a sometimes-busy road meant keeping a close eye on them. The owner was very accessible & informative. Would definitely go back again.

Cottage with a view!

Vashon Island is a great place to visit. Hiking, biking, boating and good local restaurants are all available. The view from the Burton Waterfront was amazing! If all you were going to do was stay on the deck, this is the perfect place to be. The house, while spacious for a couple (and maybe one small child), is not a place we would want to bring a larger number of people to stay. It is obviously a place that the owners come to stay and, while it might be ideal for an owner, it leaves something to be desired for someone paying $200.00 per night. Our first impression was that the cottage was eclectic. The one room is large with an older dining room table to the left as you come in; a rattan chair and a poppasan chair (remember those from the 70's) in the far left corner; and a queen size bed in the right corner along with two metal fold out beds attached to the wall. The bathroom is to the right of the foot of the bed and the kitchen is in the right hand corner. A sleep sofa sits in the middle of the room facing a 32" smart tv which is on a table against the wall between the two chairs and the bed. The kitchen is the most modern part of the unit and is very well stocked. Based on all the condiments in the kitchen, it appears that the owners leave their leftovers at the house between visits or don't remove condiments left by other guests. The main problem (besides sanitation) is that some of these things are very old (like ketchup with a year old use by date and Twinkies with a July 2017 expiration). Everything else in the kitchen was fine. The bathroom was clean and modern but very small. Two people cannot fit at the same time unless one is in the shower. There are all kinds of old shampoos and conditioners and body washes, I assume these are from past guests or the owners. They are not new. There is no place to hang towels. While the bed was comfortable, the sofa is not. It is in serious need of replacement. There is not a comfortable chair inside the house. The view outside is the highpoint of the property. DO NOT lean on the rail over the water as it needs to be repaired! The furniture on the deck is okay but could also use updating. The grill is very small and is in need of cleaning. You do hear the road noise starting at 6:30 in the morning. This is a very nice unit for the family who owns it. We would love to return if it were updated. It is not the standard we expect from this type and priced unit.

Perfect getaway

My wife and I were traveling to Vashon for a wedding and we decided to make a trip out of it. This has been by far one of the most beautiful places we have stayed! We are very big water people so this was the perfect little spot! The house was equipped with kyacks and paddleboards so we can explore the waters but also the tide was low enough for us to explore by foot! Allyson was extremely clear with all check in/check out instructions and she even left little notes around the property which was very helpful! The property was so clean and so perfectly decorated! The views were AMAZING even on a cloudy rainy day! We are already planning our next trip back! This is the perfect place to unwind, disconnect and relax! Thank you for making our stay everything we wanted!

House on the beach

This is a nice little house on the beach. Could hear the waves lapping out the window in the evenings. Everything was clean and comfortable. The he kitchen had everything we needed. Was able to walk out on the beach in the morning and collect sea shells. There was some road noise but nothing too bad.

We have stayed at this cabin before and absolutely love it! There were some upgrades this time that were nice additions. Especially the ac unit! :) But it's the water access that is the draw for us. We will definitely be back!

Super cool waterfront hideout.

We loved this adorable beach house! Great vibe, super view right smack on the water, ease of loading/unloading was a huge plus, everything imaginable was available to us in the cupboards. Hardly any road noise at all and we slept like babies. A fabulous stay!!!

Perfect solo getaway

This cute little house was perfect for a solo retreat, and would be great for couples too. What I really loved was the attention to detail at this house. The owner has really thought of everything you might need, there was even a basket of ear plugs on the nightstand. (Not necessary this trip, but handy if the hubby is with me!) The location is magical, when the tide comes in it feels like you’re on a boat. I got daily visits from a blue heron, two seals, and seagulls, and was even treated to a bald eagle flying by, and a deer eating seaweed in front of the house. I wasn’t a fan of how close the road is and the traffic noise, but felt that both the charm of the home and the reasonable price point offset that annoyance. I would definitely stay here again!

This is the perfect place to cuddle up with books and games or get out onto the water with a paddle board or kayak. The house is well equipped and we always enjoy our time here. We will visit again.

Beautiful spot right on the water

We visited family on Vashon Island for Thanksgiving and stayed in this lovely beach cottage over the holiday weekend. Convenient location, very comfortable and clean. We loved waking up to a view of the bay and seeing the lights reflecting on the water at night. We'd stay here again! Highly recommended.

I am a long time islander and my family and I have been enjoying the beach house for over 65 years! My Partner and I truly enjoy sharing our happy place as a vacation rental with our quests. We love hearing the stories of the memories families make on the beach and adventures they have had while exploring Vashon.

What makes this property unique

You can get out and enjoy all that Vashon has to offer or you can sit on the porch and watch the water gently roll by. I can get lost in the beauty that surrounds us here in this tiny paradise.
