Quiet cabin with outstanding view

Easy to find. Exactly as described. Homey, cabin feel. Plenty of space for two. Each of us found our beds to be way better than most rentals--not too soft or heat-producing. Everything works. Had the joy of watching an otter swim to shore with a fresh catch. Walked on beach and saw deer in neighborhood. So peaceful. Quiet neighbors. Ventured to the pottery studio down the road. Easy in/out of the main town. Great coffee shops and fabulous show at the VCA. Another highlight / favorite outing was Nashi Orchards---highly reco! And food at Snapdragon and Vashon Island Coffee Roastery was divine. Thank you!

Lovely stay

We had a short girls getaway. The cabin is situated in a small quiet harbor. Very calm and quiet. We loved taking daily walks on the beach and relaxing on the large deck. The beds were decently comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Relax in style

Loved Kingfisher Cabin and Vashon Island. The cabin was just as presented with cozy furniture, spacious deck, and amazing views. Having owners parent’s next door was a nice addition. They were not intrusive, but helpful & very enjoyable to visit with. They had ideas and tips of island. We will return, if possible.

Peaceful and Restful

We had a wonderful stay in spite of my husband getting sick for a few days during the week. In fact, it ended up being the perfect place to rest and heal and enjoy visiting with old friends. The view from the deck and the living room/kitchen is all beautiful. And the caretakers were wonderful and very kind when we needed a little assistance. I would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
We (Mark & Jessica) married and bought the Kingfisher Cabin in the same year. It was a crazy time but we wouldn't change a thing. We love being able to share our beach hideaway and introduce others to Vashon.

Why they chose this property

Jessica's mom grew up on Vashon Island and that is where her parents met. She spent many summers visiting relatives and exploring the island and is happy that her family gets to continue the tradition in their own beach cabin.

What makes this property unique

The Kingfisher Cabin is located on a quiet beach and is surrounded by trees. We almost named it the tree house. The view from inside the cabin or out on the large deck is beautiful. No matter the weather - the water makes it better.
