Burton Waterfront Beach House

Such a lovely space. Parking is a little tough with more than vehicle but we’ll be back!

So beautiful. Everything you needed was within reach. So thoughtful. Be back in a minute.

A wonderful property for a getaway. Looks even better in person than in the photos. Easy commute from the Tehlequa ferry terminal and super close to town. My wife and I would definitely stay here again.

One note: in the event of an historic, unprecedented heat wave, this place will not stay cool in the afternoon as configured. With the climate warming, this place, like many others in the PNW, will need a more robust cooling system in the not-to-distant future. This beach house worked great for us and our two teenage kids. Sofa bed is relatively comfy, as is the queen bed. The view out the many south-facing windows is delightful and the open layout, while lacking privacy other than the bathroom, feels spacious and efficient. Well-appointed kitchen with full size fridge and range and pretty much any tool you need. The washer and dryer were a very nice touch and much appreciated. Location a little far from most of the things the island offers if trying to get around by foot but there are some places nearby including a market and coffee stand that are walkable. Access to rest of island by car is pretty straightforward. A couple of e-bikes would work wonderfully. However, there is plenty to keep you at the beach house, including a well-functioning gas grill, plenty of chairs and a fire pit, rafts for floating in the harbor, and the intrigue of the cycle of the tides and watching people on their boats. We enjoyed spotting seals, floating on inflatable rafts, and sitting on the steps with our feet directly in the water on a sweltering evening. Check in and checkout were hassle-free. Place was clean and orderly. The property itself felt pretty private in spite of location on main road. I can see why this is a beloved family property. We would have done better with some kayaks or stand up paddle boards as the house would be a perfect jumping off point for many ad hoc aquatic adventures. We may even stay here again, though maybe without the kids next time. Definitely recommended if looking for an affordable place on Vashon perfect for a couple or small family, especially if you plan to take advantage of the direct harbor access. Five stars!
