Happy to share our family's Vashon getaway with our guests.
Our place is a cozy 1,100 sf beach cottage on 50 feet of low bank waterfront/bulkhead. High tide puts water 4 feet from your windows and low tide allows for fun Puget Sound beach exploration. Our kids still love heading down to collect crabs and sand dollars.
We have two smaller bedrooms located upstairs. One with a Queen Bed the other a Full. Main living space downstairs has what I'd call a "Sleeping Closet" that partitions off with an accordion door for privacy.
Kitchen is a smaller but fully furnished with nice cookware and has a full size dishwasher.
Key things to know about our spot.
- Access to the house features a lot of stairs so not a good fit for those who are mobility impaired. - We only have TWO parking spots. It's important for guests to know this and not block driveways for our beach neighbors. - Magnolia Beach is a uniquely Vashon community with a mix of year round residents and a big influx of seasonal 2nd homeowners. It's a fun tight knit community and during the summer, it is a regular occurrence for neighbors to take a social stroll along the bulkheads and seawalls. We've had a few guests who were surprised by this quirk so we want our listing to better describe the experience so those to who are seeking privacy above everything else can look elsewhere. On similar vein, we have a set of stainless steel stairs that give easy access to the beach. Those stairs are shared and occasionally used by our immediate neighbors. By contrast the winter is considerably less active and the vibe very serene.

What a fantastic location and home! So clean and comfortable, the owners have thought of everything you need to feel right at home. Check in was easy, great WiFi access, comfortable sleeping arrangements. You absolutely can not beat the view! I will be returning for a longer stay.
My friend and I stayed here mid-October and loved it! Everything about our stay was enjoyable. We especially liked strolling along the walkway and watching the birds and all the ocean-life! Everyone around was so friendly and we had the absolute best time relaxing on this vacation!!!
This beach house was absolutely perfect in every way! Beautiful view, super calm and private yet with a community vibe, warm and cozy with options for a wood fire or the heater, and an excellent location! The kitchen was so well stocked, even for a full thanksgiving meal!
Wildlife watching in the window was amazing. We only stayed 2 nights and must have spent 12 hours just staring out the windows. The only drawback is you need to be fairly fit for the walk up and down to your vehicle but ir was fine foe us.. Really great location!!
Everything was awesome. The first morning we got up 5 of us had to take showers to get ready to go to bury my parents. I was first in the shower and it was spraying water all over the bathroom! I ran to the hardware store and bought a gasket, easy fix and everything worked out fine. ( To the owner, there are 2 extra gasket by the towels in case it happens again). Loved the place, Love the view, I would stay again.
Lovely cabin on the water. We enjoyed watching the water and the tides. We even got a treat of seeing a group of sea otters resting and then taking back off hours later. Comfortable accommodations and such a great setup. We enjoyed our time on Vashon!
Everything is as described or better, super well stocked, beautiful location. And the hospitality was next to none - we really felt right at home, and will miss Randy and the neighbors!
We deeply enjoyed our first trip to Vashon, and are already pondering when to return!
What a jewel! The cabin and location can’t be beat. Friendly neighbors, well equipped kitchen, stunning view and hosts who quickly respond to any question. We hope to return for a much longer stay.
Great place on Vashon Island. Home was in great shape.
House was right on the water. It was very well supplied and easy to access.
WE visited with our son, daughter-in-law and young grandson.
Suzanne, the owner, was very accommodating. I would happily stay here again.
