We fell in love with this property and the host, Mary Ann. Mary Ann has gone over and beyond the call of duty, offering many generous amenities to her guests. Everything is high end, beautiful, comfortable and such an outrageously, fantastic front yard/beach view. Right on the water! Geese spending the night on the beach. Otters swimming by, A Purple Martin habitat on the dock, deer on the drive down to the water. It just doesn't get any better than this. We'll be back.

We had a WONDERFUL time at the property. The VRBO was clean, private and the listing description does NOT do this place justice. Our expectations were exceeded. Of the other VRBO’s we have stayed at in Vashon Island this is the BEST! From the quiet morning sunrises to the evening BBQ and sunsets you cannot ask for a better location! Thank you for your hospitality!!

Beautiful location on a peaceful point with amazing water views and relaxing accommodations for a weekend getaway with our family with young kids. Beach play and games inside were all a hit with them. Plenty of accommodations for cooking in kitchen as well. Mary Ann was very hospitable and a great communicator upon arrival. Would love to make this place a regular stop for our family.
