Location: Vashon Island, Puget Sound, Washington State, USA (15 minute ferry ride from Seattle)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
Come unwind at this peaceful 2-plus bedroom, 1 bath cottage on the northwest side of Vashon Island. Situated on a half acre of private waterfront, you can relax on a large deck at the water's edge and watch the incredible sunsets as they transform from golden yellow to pink. Step down from this deck, and you're directly on your own private beach where you can walk out and gather seashells while eagles fly overhead.
Play a game of horseshoes or bocce ball on the extensive front lawn and cook dinner on the outdoor grill or in the fully-stocked kitchen.
The cottage has a large living room where you can cozy up to the wood-burning stove and listen to music or watch movies once the sun goes down. You will wake up to a beautiful view from the master bedroom, and an additional bedroom and bonus room is perfect for guests or children. The kitchen is stocked with everything a cook may desire.
Vashon island is just a 15 minute ferry ride from Seattle and is conveniently accessible by private boat. A dedicated mooring buoy is located directly in front of the property. The cottage is only five to ten minutes from the West Seattle - Vashon ferry landing and five minutes from local island restaurants, theater, and shopping. Numerous hiking/walking and mountain biking trails are nearby and offer spectacular views around the island.
During the summer, stroll through the local farmer's market on Saturday mornings, or visit one of the many farms on the island directly.
If you would like to visit Pike's Place Market and downtown Seattle during the week, take the passenger only ferry direct (30 minutes crossing time) from Vashon to Pier 55 in downtown Seattle.
Vashon Island is home to many painters, potters, jewelers, stained glass artists, musicians, writers and organic farmers. Vashon Allied Arts presents an art showing each month featuring a variety of accomplished local artists. The Gallery Cruise runs the first Friday of every month. Several galleries as well as restaurants and shops are open for this. The first two weekends in May and December are the Potters and Artists tours. Thirty to fifty studios are open, welcoming all.
