Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Alycia Prather
I grew up in Washington, where my appreciation for beautiful spaces and a strong sense of hospitality were shaped early on. Before entering the world of vacation homes, I spent many years in the restaurant industry, where I learned that the smallest details — warmth, flow, comfort, and care — are what truly make people feel welcome.
I purchased my first long-term rental in 2003 and discovered short-term rentals in 2016. What began as a single, thoughtfully restored home has since evolved into a curated collection of four boutique vacation properties, each located in a place that inspires and designed with intention.
I’m drawn to special houses in special settings — homes with character, soul, and a sense of place. Each retreat is layered with thoughtful design, comfort, and personality, created to delight guests and elevate the experience of travel. My approach is deeply hospitality-driven: I want every guest to feel cared for, relaxed, and genuinely happy from the moment they arrive.
These homes are more than places to stay — they are invitations to slow down, settle in, and experience something
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
In 2016, we started looking for a waterfront escape—a place to unwind on weekends and share as a vacation rental. We instantly fell in love with Vashon Island. Just a 20-minute ferry from Seattle, it feels like stepping into another world: lush, peaceful, and full of small-town charm.
Then we found this 100-year-old Craftsman home on a stunning waterfront lot. Untouched and full of character, it stole our hearts. Over the next two years, we carefully restored it, blending original charm with modern comforts.
We opened up the entire front of the house so the outdoors flows inside, painted the rooms in bright, fun colors, and added playful accents throughout. Modern touches include a jetted tub, dishwasher, main-floor double washers and dryers, and a Bluetooth speaker in the upstairs shower. Funky tiles in the upstairs shower were left behind decades ago, giving the home a unique, one-of-a-kind vibe.
We refinished the floors, added granite and butcher-block counters, upgraded the kitchen with two refrigerators, updated the electrical system, and installed dimmed, chic lighting to set the perfect mood. Outside, we created a cozy patio with a gas fire pit and potted plants, all overlooking the low-bank waterfront.
This home is magical, full of character, and completely inviting—perfect for relaxing, gathering with loved ones, and making memories that last a lifetime.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
This home is comfort, charm, and color all in one—lively and cheerful, yet tranquil, relaxing, and romantic. Nestled in a serene setting surrounded by wildlife and nature, it offers the perfect escape from city life.
It beautifully blends old-world Craftsman charm with thoughtful modern amenities, creating a space that feels both timeless and effortless. With seven doors along the front of the house, the indoors flows seamlessly into the outdoors, letting you feel part of nature while staying comfortably inside.
Bright, airy, and open, the home invites you to wake with the sunrise, enjoy a quiet retreat during the afternoon, and watch the moonlight dance on the water in the evening. Every moment here is designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable memories.
