About this property

Waterfront cabin facing the sunset

Beautiful highbank waterfront property on the coveted Westside of Vashon Island. Experience this magical setting while enjoying walks along the beach and never ending wildlife sightings. Otters, seals, sea lions, eagles, herons, and more! It's like being thousands of miles away yet only a little more than one hour from Seattle. The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset.

Large windows and deck let you soak in the expansive view inside or out! Beach access is a short walk away. Basement includes ping pong table and foosball. Two person above-board kayak and paddle board available to explore the Sound.

Three bedrooms plus basement pull-out sofa bed.

Great stay

My family had a great stay. House was clean and beds were very comfortable. My teen has made several comments that the house made our vacation. From watching the seals, playing ping pong, board games and just spending time as a family, this house was perfect.

Sensational Sabbatical

My wife and I were fortunate to spend 3 weeks of my work sabbatical at this incredible property. Our stay was during the fall, so while the weather was as expected (rainy and cold most days), we experienced multiple weather conditions daily and loved the beautiful, peaceful views we enjoyed every single day! The goal of this sabbatical was rest and relaxation; this property helped us achieve and exceed that goal!

Second stay at this home

We stayed at this lovely home last summer and our second stay did not disappoint. The view continues to be the best on the island, and the house has everything one needs to be comfortable and relaxed.

Serenity by the Sound

Beautiful house in a lovely location. Hosts made sure that we were taken care of when freak wind storm took out power to the neighborhood for a bit. Game room was a big hit with visiting children one night. DVDs galore entertained the 4 adults staying at the house when the sun went down. All around great place to stay! Thanks J & B.

Wonderful Beach Cabin

We were on Vashon for a week visiting family and had family join us for dinner one night. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed the water everyday-kayaking and paddle boarding. We played board games and ping pong. The beds were comfortable and the views amazing, wildlife all day. Would definitely recommend this property.

Lovely Spot on Paradise Cove

We had a wonderful sunny weekend at the beach. The house is well equipped and the seals and bald eagles visited every day. The beach is walkable when the tide is out, with sea stars and other creatures to discover in the rocks and sand.

Cozy, Spacious Home for Christmas Holiday

We gathered our family from three states in this lovely waterfront home on Vashon Island for Christmas. The house had everything we needed, and it had a good layout for family meals and games. The view was spectacular, and we loved watching the seals and birds from the deck.

Waterfront

Beautiful late fall stay. Large enough for Six people to spread out. Great kitchen layout. Cook with views of ocean. It is off the beaten path but once you get there you won’t want to leave.

Relaxing and comfortable stay

We so much enjoyed our time at the cabin. The house is well-equipped, homey, and has a spectacular view. We spent hours on the deck watching seals and birds and the tide roll in and out. Property managers were responsive and incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Loved it!

This was the perfect place for a few sunny days by the water. The house was light-filled and spacious; very homey. We loved the large deck, paddle boards, foosball and just everything. We’re planning a return trip.
