Serene island retreat with fantastic views

Great rental for rest and relaxation over Thanksgiving weekend. Rustic cabin but impeccably clean and well-stocked. We loved making a fire - it was chilly and this heated the entire place quickly. Stop for firewood before you drive to the Kingfisher cabin at the hardware store or at roadside stops. Our adult children joined us for Thanksgiving dinner and we had everything we needed to roast our turkey and prepare everything else. There is no need to stop for groceries before boarding the ferry - the Thriftway grocery is excellent and well-stocked. Plenty of turkeys the day before Thanksgiving and they weren't out of a single thing that was on my shopping list. Speaking of the ferry, my tips are don't worry about the online schedule, just get in line, and try to avoid rush hour or you may be waiting for a second ferry. It really didn't seem to run on time at any point during our stay. But the good news is, there's always another one on the way. We had Thai food at May's Kitchen - excellent quality Thai food. Small place, you might need a reservation, we sat at the bar and it was just fine. Also had a great breakfast at Sporty's. Owner was quick to communicate - we highly recommend this rental and will try to rent it again when we return to visit our kids.

Vashon retreat

A quiet cottage with a great channel view and afternoon sun. Many hikes across the island (a nice quiet community). We have enjoyed it several times and look forward to future visits.

Quiet cabin with outstanding view

Easy to find. Exactly as described. Homey, cabin feel. Plenty of space for two. Each of us found our beds to be way better than most rentals--not too soft or heat-producing. Everything works. Had the joy of watching an otter swim to shore with a fresh catch. Walked on beach and saw deer in neighborhood. So peaceful. Quiet neighbors. Ventured to the pottery studio down the road. Easy in/out of the main town. Great coffee shops and fabulous show at the VCA. Another highlight / favorite outing was Nashi Orchards---highly reco! And food at Snapdragon and Vashon Island Coffee Roastery was divine. Thank you!

Amazing views!

One of the best properties ever stayed. Comfortable, easy access to cabin for unloading and reloading. We had one vehicle, 2 no prob. Beds very comfy. Shower nice! Kitchen had all we needed to make a sausage spinach tortellini soup. We brought K-cups and bag of coffee, thankful for the coffee grinder! Can’t wait to stay again!!

Kingfisher was so inviting, that we'll keep coming back to stay there again and again...

My parents were visiting from out of the US, and it was my dad's birthday, which my wife and I wanted to make it special. Boy! Were we glad that we rented "Kingfisher" for a couple of days in October! I'd say that the right from the coziness of the cabin, features, its cleanliness, the breathtaking views from the deck, and walk to the water, made the whole experience super-memorable to all of us! It was a perfect getaway that my father and mother will remember forever. Not only did our stay make a mark in all our minds; but, the feeling of home away from home in this surreal place deserves mighty kudos!! What a way to make my dad feel special?! And, he did say that over and over, which blesses our heart! The host, Jessica - who was remote, and her parents who live next door were very inviting, super-responsive, and mighty-helpful! That warm TLC is all part of the whole package. ;-) I would rate this place a 10 out of 5 if that were an option. Don't miss it - very highly recommend!! One thing I'd like to suggest is that the online pictures DO NOT do justice to what the place has to offer. Of course, a camera can never replace the human eyes, I get it. Looking at it positively though - this place T-U-P-W-O-D - Totally Under Promises Way Over Delivers!! Thank you hosts!!

Lovely stay

We had a short girls getaway. The cabin is situated in a small quiet harbor. Very calm and quiet. We loved taking daily walks on the beach and relaxing on the large deck. The beds were decently comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Relax in style

Loved Kingfisher Cabin and Vashon Island. The cabin was just as presented with cozy furniture, spacious deck, and amazing views. Having owners parent’s next door was a nice addition. They were not intrusive, but helpful & very enjoyable to visit with. They had ideas and tips of island. We will return, if possible.

Peaceful and Restful

We had a wonderful stay in spite of my husband getting sick for a few days during the week. In fact, it ended up being the perfect place to rest and heal and enjoy visiting with old friends. The view from the deck and the living room/kitchen is all beautiful. And the caretakers were wonderful and very kind when we needed a little assistance. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely surprise

When we drove up to the property My Mom and I were in shock; the King Fisher cabin is on a property we went to for my entire child hood - I learned to ride a bilk on that road, spent hours on the beach, road horses with the girl next door - what a blast from our past. What a wonderful coincidence. The home is well equip, comfortable and the deck and view cant be beat. The world gets smaller and smaller. Thank you :)

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

We (Mark & Jessica) married and bought the Kingfisher Cabin in the same year. It was a crazy time but we wouldn't change a thing. We love being able to share our beach hideaway and introduce others to Vashon.

Why they chose this property

Jessica's mom grew up on Vashon Island and that is where her parents met. She spent many summers visiting relatives and exploring the island and is happy that her family gets to continue the tradition in their own beach cabin.

What makes this property unique

The Kingfisher Cabin is located on a quiet beach and is surrounded by trees. We almost named it the tree house. The view from inside the cabin or out on the large deck is beautiful. No matter the weather - the water makes it better.
