Lovely little cottage

We had a wonderful time here. Barron was helpful and the check in process was simple. The location is cozy and quiet, and we loved having the tide come up under the cottage. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect escape

The house was absolute perfection. The view is magic and there are windows everywhere letting in so much light. The sun and the rain were equally enjoyable and I hope to visit again soon. Thank you for the best weekend escape I have had!

Lovely weekend

Barron's home is so comfortable and the location is really perfect—right on the water, and the trails in the woods across the street were fun to explore, too. The weather was on the cold and windy side, but the home was so cozy that we didn't care.

Tranquil and lovely

The cottage is tiny (under 500 sq ft) but is perfectly designed and feels roomy. Sleep literally over the water and relax on the sunny deck. This cottage offers a unique, almost spiritual experience.

peace by the water

The cottage is cozy, lots of light, right on the water. I startled a deer as I went down the path and nature continued to show me her children, heron, eagle, seal, seagulls shopping for a meal. The kitchen is very well supplied. Quiet, beautiful location. You can stay at the cottage or tour the island. Either way is delightful.

Wonderful Cabin Stay on Vashon

We rented the beach cottage for my sister's wedding weekend and it was the perfect spot for my wife and I to stay! Such a great location right "on" the water. I jumped in the sound every morning to wake up. The cabin is cozy but was great size for us. Bed was comfy and deck chairs per perfect for watching the Perseid meteor shower late into the night!

Eco Cottage

Great little beachfront property. Small but clean. Expensive but quiet and peaceful. Definitely not for people with mobility issues. Couch bed was difficult to open and I am very handy. A bit overpriced but maybe off season is better?

Magical cabin on the water

This place is truly a gem and I can’t believe how lucky we were to have found it. Adorable, cozy, clean, well stocked, wonderful host. We awoke the second morning to sun shining through the windows and reflecting off the water. The whole cabin was sparkling! Quiet and secluded. Exactly what we were looking for. Fell asleep in soft linens to the sound of the water lapping under the cabin. Ahhhh. Will certainly return.

Blissful Peace

We would never have guessed that such a peaceful place existed only minutes from the hustle and bustle of mainland Washington State. Only a short ferry ride to Vashon Island and you can't hear a thing from airport or other mainland activities. The house is a gem, located within the tidal zone and near very nice walking/hiking trails. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Little piece of heaven

This was our second stay at the eco cottage, both times to celebrate our summer wedding anniversary. This is the perfect spot to relax and connect, the scenery is breathtaking! The cottage has everything you need and is comfortable. We spent most waking hours on the deck or on the beach. Vashon island also has a lot to offer, hiking trails, beaches to explore, great coffee from the roasters. Host is friendly and easy to Communicate with. We’ll be back again for sure!

The best local getaway

This place is magical. We were looking for a spot to unplug from the city for a while without having to travel far. We spent days cooking, exploring by foot, watching birds, seals, sea lions and other marine life, and of course drinking in the sun and the sea. The house was very well appointed, clean, comfortable, and had great beachy/waterfront vibes. Barron is an excellent host. He's kind, responsive, and seems genuinely grateful to share his special home by the harbor. We'll definitely be back—again and again.
