Great property to stay at for the weekend. Had an amazing time relaxing on the deck and the host was very helpful when the check in instructions didn’t populate!
We had a wonderful trip out to Vashon Island and loved our stay at Sunset Shores! The views were beautiful morning and night. We enjoyed dinners on the deck and fires down by the water. Kids loved the attic bedroom and playing on the shoreline. Would love to come back!
Great beach house with space for 2 families and close to town. Beware there are a lot of stairs down to the home, but it is stated so on the site. Stairs are sturdy and have handrail. No problem for us.
The house is over the water and the views are magnificent. Be aware that you must climb 90 steps down to the house and up from the house to parking. The kitchen is very well-stocked and the living room is a good size. Two of the three bedrooms are very small and the third bedroom is dorm-room style with five beds. The full bath and half bath are small. This house is really about the fabulous location.
We were a group of 7 (4 adults & 3 kids). This home is in a beautiful location and close to town. When we arrived however, the house had not been cleaned from the previous guests. We were able to reach the host very quickly and the situation was resolved. Although it made us waiting even longer to check-in and change our dinner plans. Overall, though we would book this home again, since I am sure this was a very rare occurrence. I would like to note, like other reviews, there are quite a few stairs and hauling your stuff up and down them will definitely up your daily step count. ;)

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the cleanliness of the place upon your check-in. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we're truly sorry for any frustration this may have caused. We hope the $200 we provided to you so you could grab dinner while the cleaners cleaned was acceptable.
Please know that we take your comments seriously, and we've already taken steps to address this issue with our cleaning team to ensure that such lapses don't happen again in the future. We appreciate your understanding and your valuable feedback, as it helps us improve and deliver a better experience to our guests.
We had a great weekend here celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday. Th cabin is great and super beach-y and the views are outstanding. The only downside is the stairs down to the cabin but it’s totally worth it! We hope to come back soon!
We had an incredible stay in this adorable cabin with amazing waterfront view and would definitely rebook for another visit. We were a family of 5. Our teenagers happily used the loft/dormitory.
The owner was welcoming and checked in to make sure we had what we needed.
The only things I would point out is that it's a good set of stairs down to the cabin from the parking area. I'm glad my elderly parents did not join us. Also, there is just one shower for the cabin, which was fine for our group, but maybe not for a larger group.
Overall, we loved our stay and enjoyed spending time on Vashon!
Wow, could have stayed here all summer. Most amazing setting with waterfront location. House was very clean, nice linens, comfortable bed, nice clean newer furniture, attention to detail all around. Will expect to see this place on a VRBO commercial soon. Clear communication with host, no surprises, will be back for sure!!!
