This jewel of an island is located a quick 20 minute ferry boat ride from Seattle but is a paradise getaway from the bustle of life. The house, comfortable but elegant, has a truly breathtaking panoramic view of the Puget Sound and a private deck where you can sit back and watch the sun rise or set. Please Note: Because of Covid-19, we stipulate one day between the departure of a guest and the arrival of the next guest to allow our housecleaner adequate time to safely clean the house. A private hot tub is located in a garden with a view of the water. Follow the 50 stairs down to the beach where a gazebo is the perfect place for an outdoor meal and bird watching. Take the kayak out into the Sound as dusk settles on the water. A two acre garden is filled with trees and plants that thrill the most ardent gardeners. The House is yours save for a small office where we store our things when we are not there. We live off island, but have plenty of helpful locals who can help you should you have any problems during your stay Identified as one of the top summer vacation spots, Vashon Island has fishing, biking, kayaking, horse back riding and hiking for the athletes and art galleries, book stores, free concerts and a movie house. Hunt for shells on your beach walks or just sit back and enjoy the quiet, the solitude, the view of water and sunsets. This island is a hidden secret that will have you coming back year after year... We allow pets but please keep them in the gated area out back or in the house. There are many farm animals that live in the area and we have had problems before with dogs escaping and killing our neighbors animals. We also include a $30 pet fee addition to our usual cleaning fee.
