Drifters September 2024

This house was good for what we were doing, clean, plenty of seating, biggest complaint was there was only one bathroom, and no central AC. There was a "window" unit that kept everything cool for the most part. Overall the house was good! We did wish it had a washer and dryer, which wasn't huge deal since we were just there two nights, any longer and not having those would be an issue

Gorgeous and Relaxing!

My friends and I stayed here during an awesome wedding weekend, and it was the perfect retreat during inevitable nuptial stress! The huge window facing the water was almost too gorgeous to believe. We also loved the collection of VHS tapes - we kicked back and watched Father of the Bride while getting ready. Lovely, huge rooms, great kitchen, nice bathroom awesome porch - I have literally nothing negative to say.

Decent home no yard

Cute house. Needs laundry room and there is no lawn. Just weeds. Very limited parking and extremely steep dangerous driveway.

Not many places to eat around the island but Island Queen has great burgers. The parking at the house was terrible. No laundry at house was also a bummer.

Great View

We loved this house on the water in Vashon. It was clean and comfortable. We loved the view of the water including wildlife like great blue herons and otters. There was a nice deck to eat outside. We loved our stay.

Lovely spot in the island with water views out every window. We cooked all our meals in the well equipped kitchen. Played board games and watched movies. Home met our expectations!

Picture perfect view

We had never stayed on an island before and it was so charming. The house was so cozy with plenty of blankets and towels. The view from the living room was stunning! We even got to see some cute seals swimming around from the comfort of the couch.

Amazing House on the water!!

It was perfect for our family!! Watched dolphins while drinking coffee in the mornings! Grocery store is less than a 5 min walk. The store has everything you need. We will definitely rent again when we come to vashon again. Great value!!

Started out poor

Of all the VRBO on Vashon, there were very few available. The ones that were had a good nightly rate associated with it but these horrible additional fees that we had not encountered before. We needed to stay close to our relatives so we booked over $400 for one night. When we got there it was after 4 and we couldnt park because a car was blocking the steep stone driveway. We found that the cleaning crew was in the house attempting to clean taking another half hour and then when they left didnt even take the trash. Yes the place was lovely but we would never stay there again of book under the name of the owner.

Will stay here again

We rented out this place for just one night for Thanksgiving guest overflow and it was perfect for what we needed. It was clean, very cute and had everything we needed in the kitchen. We got lucky with the weather and sat out on the deck and enjoyed the sunset. One of the bedrooms have very convenient portable sleeping fold outs and the gas fireplace made the place ridiculously cozy. We're excited to return.
