Enjoy The Best Of Vashon From The Deck Of The Quartermaster Cottage

We really enjoyed the house and especially the outdoor space. Ver spacious with private space for all. Our propery manager, Troy, was so helpful! Unfortunately we had record hot temps and no AC! Made sleeping difficult. Also, there was no coffee (fortunately I brought my own) and no body wash , shampoo/conditioner as is customary in these rentals. Would be a much better Fall/Spring/Winter stay.

Quartermaster Cottage on Vashon Island is a charming retreat with breathtaking views and cozy ambiance, making it perfect for our visit during my niece's wedding. Positives: The cottage exudes charm with its stunning views and relaxed atmosphere. The expansive deck provides a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the sun reflecting off the water. Comfortable amenities include comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Convenient features like a full-size washer and dryer enhance longer stays. Troy, the host, is friendly and quick to respond to any communication. Considerations: Parking on the inclined driveway requires caution with rolling luggage. As an older home, there are some minor inconveniences: - Limited closet space for wedding attire - The stand-up shower stall is compact - Narrow and steep stairs lead to the second bedroom - Upstairs rooms are warm, mitigated by a provided stand-up AC unit and fans - Lack of smoke or carbon monoxide detectors in the home Nearby Amenities: The cottage is conveniently located just outside downtown Vashon, with a coffee stand and corner store within walking distance. Positive dining experiences at The Hardware Store and Casa Bonita restaurants. For shopping, The Pharmacy is a recommended souvenir shop, and Thriftway is convenient for groceries. Overall Impression: Quartermaster Cottage offers a lovely, cozy retreat with quaint charm despite typical older home challenges. It's a delightful getaway on scenic Vashon Island.

It was a beautiful older home with beautiful views and garden. Nice restaurants just a short drive away. Only one thing, they need to put more sheets for their Yahtzee game, lol. My family had a great time enjoying the views while bbqing and playing yartzee!

The house is very cute and comfortable, love that it combines the original vintage charm with modern amenities. Location is perfect. View is amazing. No complaints at all. Bed situation was better than in description- 2 queens, sofas, and twin with trundle-no bunkbeds. Will be coming back here in the future for sure!

Easy checkin to a spacious property.

We had a great time. Check-in was easy, and the location is amazing. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The cottage is cute, and clean with an amazing view.

The location is brilliant and island feel is everywhere. The house was very welcoming and cozy. Perfect for a winter time setting. We'll be back.... Thank you

11 days In beautiful home and loved every minute. Location and views spectacular. We really enjoyed friendly local people and restaurants. Our dog Cooper also gives it a PAWS UP.

It was a lovely home, large backyard right on the marina. Walking distance from an incredible coffee stand with morning pastries and a grocery store. The outside area has tons of seating options and a propane heater for the cold nights. Tons of parking! Master bedroom sleeps a bit warm even with a portable AC unit in the hall nearby & light switches were a hunt, but its an older styled house and had so much character. We enjoyed our stay!

The house suited our needs for location on the island. The large deck overlooking the harbor is great for relaxing, enjoying morning coffee, meals or evening cocktails. Easy check-in and communication with host.

The property is spacious, and our host was super friendly.

Great house. Beautiful view. Loved our weekend stay. Will be back ❤️

Great views of the harbor from deck and home. Clean, comfortable, cozy home. Large deck with multiple sitting areas; enjoyed deck sitting area next to kitchen window, which was a little off of the road and very private. Enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhoods and park: Governers Lane, Burton Acres Park, and Lavender Hill Farm neighborhood. Close to KVI Beach, Jensen Point, Point Robinson and other attractions.

Loved the large comfortable deck and fantastic views of water and marina! Perfect spot any time of day or night! The island has much to offer for all who love the water.

Just near burton coffee stand, that was my favorite part. Very quiet at night while sleeping.

This is a beautiful old house with a huge deck for entertaining and looking out at Quartermaster harbor. Half the deck is covered, so even in the rain it's nice to hang out on. Plenty of chairs and even a propane heater! The house has only 2 bedrooms, but there are plenty of other places for people to sleep. Pull out couch, window seat big enough for a bed, and even a trundle bed under that. There was even a fold up bed in the closet we could have pulled out. The only inconveniences were that there was no bathroom upstairs, and that if it's a hot day, the upstairs bedroom is pretty hot. They provide a fan and there's a portable air-conditioner at the landing at the top of the stairs too. The house was equipped with everything you would need. Check in was easy. We just texted the owners when we got on the ferry and he arrived just a couple minutes after we arrived. We had a great stay!

Perfect location. Experience the island as a local! The host is incredibly sweet AND he drives the bus in the island!

The property was fantastic; incredible views, great location, our entire stay was a pleasure and our hosts made us feel welcomed throughout our visit!

My family of four stayed at Quartermaster Cottage while visiting family on Vashon and had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the views were spectacular! We enjoyed being just steps from the market, a coffee stand, and some cute shops. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was a great fit for our group! We really enjoyed the homey feeling of the house. Great location. Plenty of amenities, and Troy was so helpful. We will be back and recommend to friends/interested parties.

Pictures don’t do this place justice. Beautiful location. We loved hanging out on the deck

Lovely old house with lots of room, and everything you need for an easy vacation. Excellent location and beautiful view from the house.

Quick stay for a family wedding. The "innkeeper" welcomed us and was super friendly and helpful.

I have been renting the Pink House for several years. We keep coming back because of its great location for beach and water and boating opportunities. Walks and hiking are just out the front door. And Kathy’s Coffee Stand at the corner is a local gathering spot for Delicious Lattes, freshly baked treats and great conversation. The house is very comfortable and light with many windows. The BEST is the large deck with its beautiful view looking out over the bay . Troy, who manages the rental, and his wife are comfortable to work with and respond quickly to you. The owner was out pruning

Great location and adorable house with very nice decks.

The Quartermaster Cottage was a lovely place to spend most of July. We had most of our meals on the deck overlooking the harbor, enjoyed biking, paddleboarding, and getting to know the island!

We loved our two night stay in this home. The hosts were fantastic, answering every question promptly and getting us everything we needed for our stay. We spent many hours on the deck overlooking the harbor and enjoyed the walking trails, beaches, and local coffee stand minutes away. Everything was clean and welcoming in the home. We highly recommend!

This is a Very Old little cottage right across from the marina. It is Charming in every way, but probably not the perfect fit for everyone. We had two couples so that meant that one pair was in the bunkbeds in a super small space while one couple had a Very Nice upstairs to themselves, not a problem with children depending upon the age.. There are two bathrooms on the main floor which is great but only one of them is fit for an older person to shower in (perhaps a wall handle would be a good addition there). The kitchen was well kitted out and pleasant to use. In short, this stay was everything that it promised and we would definitely stay again. Just be mindful of those small limitations and you'll be fine.

We really enjoyed staying at this charming house in Burton. It was close to shopping and was quiet at night. We would stay here again!

My friends and I booked the cottage to attend nearby wedding festivities. The location is stellar. The check-in process was easy, the place looked just as in the photos, and all requests were answered immediately. We would return!!!

My husband and I travel to Vashon often for the art studio tours or just a change of scenery. This was our first time staying at Quartermaster Cottage, which we have passed a number of times driving around the island on our visits. The house is charming, with plenty of space for a couple or a family. We had everything we needed during our stay. Troy was friendly and easy to communicate with, and responded quickly to our questions. Check in and check out were easy. What a nice little weekend trip!

Our family of 3 stayed here for 2 nights during our Vashon trip. This is a wonderful property with everything you need: our toddler enjoyed reading the children books by the dining room window, the bunk bed and playing in the backyard; we made use of the covered porch, the outdoor heater and used the kitchen to prepare simple meals for the family. This place is walking distance to Burton Coffee Stand (which we went 3 times during our stay to get coffee and pastry), the Lavender Farm (not open during our visit unfortunately). It's only a few minute drive from Jensen Point Park, and quite close to all the restaurants (e.g., Snapdragon, Gravy) and actions in the little downtown area. The host couple are super friendly and very accommodating. We highly recommend this property to people visiting Vashon!
