Easy get away

Lovely location right on Quartermaster Harbor. Well appointed with everything you needed for cooking and feeding a group. Beds were super comfortable. Lots of towels and beach towels.We had a wonderful time-sat in the Adirondack chairs, read books, watched the seals and just enjoyed ourselves.

Family gathering

We booked this lovely cottage for our family to celebrate the life of a family member. There were plenty of beds/rooms for everyone to have a comfortable place to sleep. The gathering places were cozy and gave us time to play games, watch movies and be together. The location was perfect and the view was wonderful. We are definitely planning to return in the summer to enjoy another family get together.

Great place to retreat to with family and friends

Though our stay was just a weekend for a rowing regatta this setting made it feel longer and very restfull. The weather really shined for us this visit to Vashon, and we hope to return under sunny skies for next years regatta and stay here once again. Thank you hosts, you really provided a perfect Vashon vibe for us all.

Girl’s Weekend

Six of us ladies thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the living area was cozy feeling, yet big enough to accommodate us. The views and property were lovely. Communication with the owner was easy and she was very responsive. We will have to make this an annual event at this great house!

Vashon family reunion

Shabby chic getaway was perfect for our family to gather, cook, relax and game! Beds were comfortable, house was decorated fun, and kitchen was more than adequately outfitted. One downside was the septic smell outside at times, owners are aware. Some kayaks would be a good bonus!

Excellent Chic house

Very cozy house in a very relaxing and quiet location. The yard had great adirondack chairs to relax, conversate and boot by the water. Everything we could have hoped for in a house although there could have been more men.

Beautiful home and location

We held a bachelorette party here and had the most amazing time! The house had everything we needed and things we didn’t know we needed with very thoughtful stocking options. We loved the thorough house manual for all our questions as they came up during our stay. The house is has a warm and relaxing atmosphere, with historical charm with modern amenities. Perfect for a “beach grandma meets practical magic” bachelorette party. We also loved the fire pit.

Location!

Such an adorable house in a gorgeous location. We were there during a heat wave in August, and while it was 90 elsewhere on the island it was perfectly comfortable in the shade at the house. The back side of the house has trees that offer nice shade and keep the back of the house cool. The front had shade at some area or another all day long so you just move from under the tree, to the fire pit couches, to front porch as the day went on. All overlooking the water. The house is well appointed, most everything you would need is provided. Binoculars for nature watching, (we saw seals every day and porpoise a few times,) blankets for warmth while having your morning coffee, beach towels, yoga mats, and most every kitchen item. I love that they leave condiments in the fridge and staples in the pantry. The beds were comfortable, and I love the fun decore. Definitely recommend.

Shabby Chic Waterfront was a huge hit

The Shabby Chic Waterfront on Vashon Island was the perfect setting for reconnecting with friends. The location is incredible and the house is darling. We spent hours sitting on the Adirondack chairs in the front yard, chatting and enjoying the views.
