The website photos do not do justice to how wonderful this property is. The photo albums in the house provided us with an deeper understanding of the family history behind this home and seeing the transformation over the many decades makes you truly appreciate the love and care that went in to this property. Very spacious kitchen with spectacular views to the water just crossed the street and very close to any activity you wish to do on the island. We enjoyed our stay so much so that we’re considering coming back in the near future.
I came to the island with family for a weekend visit. We were impressed by the property the moment we walked in the door. There was plenty of space for four people. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed. We appreciated all the little thoughtful touches throughout the home and the fun, locally themed decor. And of course, the view was spectacular! Thank you for a relaxing and memorable stay,
An absolutely amazing place. Extremely clean and tidy. Super comfortable beds and very well stocked. Host communication was prompt and easy. Highly recommend.
A lovely home with an interesting history! Comfortable, spacious, well-stocked kitchen, and all the amenities one could possibly need or want! Sarah was very welcoming and offered flexibility as I was dealing with a death in my family. We will almost certainly return!
A very caring host, a beautiful home that is perfectly clean and perfectly beautiful. Not a first time and we will always return this on Vashon Island. Thank you very much for the wonderful vacation.
Host was super responsive. House was beautifully decorated and well-stocked/outfitted. View was incredible and we enjoyed the big picture windows. I would definitely stay here in the summer, too, as it seems outfitted for outdoor living and kayaks, etc.
Beautiful home, great view. The perfect place to slow down, relax and experience island life. Just a short drive from town. Very well equipped kitchen.
We had a perfect long weekend with two grandparents and two kiddos. The house had everything we needed and is beautifully redone. The location is hard to beat!
The view was beautiful! The house was gorgeous and very well still stocked. Hosts were very friendly and helpful! We all loved this house and will definitely return!

This property is bright, clean and super well appointed. In the very spacious kitchen you'll find all you could wish for. Lovely view and very quiet location.
The house was perfect for the relaxing island weekend we were looking for! Very clean and nicely decorated, nice common areas to hang out. Highly recommend!
Updated interior with quality materials, very comfortable, great location, nice extras with a dozen farm fresh eggs and local coffee roaster beans, and incredible view.
We had a lovely time on Vashon Island! The beach house was clean and comfortable for our family. The beds are amazing! We all slept so well! Will most definitely be back!
Gorgeous place in every way. Beautifully remodeled, spacious, superbly appointed and equipped. Also a fun outdoor covered area with grill, seating and table etc. and what a view! Mt Rainier across the bay rising into the sky.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah
We are a group of siblings, Jim, Tami and Sarah. We are born and raised islanders. Collectively we have five kids, teenage to young adult. We grew up visiting our grandparents in this house and playing on the beach here.
Why they chose this property
This property was homesteaded by our great great grandfather in the late 1870’s. Our grandparents bought the home from Grandpa’s uncle in 1941, they raised our father and uncle in this house and continued to live here until the end of 2018.
