Vashon Modern Beachfront Getaway: Pet & Family-Friendly with Stunning Views!

Beautiful property! We saw otters, seals, porpoise, Canadian geese chicks, a bald eagle...all right out the front door! House is not far from the parking area and a lovely drive down. Only negative is that the host doesn't tell you the check-in process. We finally had to contact VRBO two days before leaving to get the information. They also don't respond if you have any questions. There were no problems with property ( we had wondered where the trash cans were but found them on our own). Very comfortable with a lovely kitchen.

Beautiful location. Delightful wildlife right in front of house. House cozy and comfortable. Glad we arrived in daylight. A little confusing parking and knowing which wheel barrel to use to move luggage. House could use paint update and better lamps.

Beautiful spot especially when the sun came out. Very comfortable. Plenty of space. Instructions to finding the house would have been helpful. It is not hard because it is the first house on the walkway but pulling up to the parking lot in the dark without knowing exactly where the house was was a little confusing. All-in-all a great stay.

We chose this rental because of its location right on the water. It did not disappoint. That said, while the living space was clean, it could use a thorough deep clean. Cobwebs with trapped dead bugs around the brick fireplace, ashes and wood particles on the mantle, the window in the downstairs bedroom was covered in film and dead gnats. One towel per person, no extras; no full length mirror; no comfortable seating on the front porch (bring your own chair); several spiders (bed, shower, kitchen) had to be escorted out. Other commenters mentioned the walk from the parking area - the rental is the first on the “boardwalk” in a long line of residences and has only a few steps to get to the front door - it was not a problem. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen well equipped. Others commented no spices, oils, etc. but we found them all to be there. Possibly a previous renter left them. We didn’t use the upstairs deck at all as it required going up and down the spiral staircase. We had difficulty lighting a fire. It would be helpful to have instructions for using the insert. Even though the flue was open (as best as we could tell) the fire would not stay lit. The main living area is a small one-room living, dining, kitchen, with the spiral staircase. It is very convenient to have a downstairs bedroom with en suite. The upstairs main bedroom with king has a stellar view of the sound and Gig Harbor. It was a short 10 minute drive to town and about 20 mins to the ferry dock.
