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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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!

This was exactly what we were looking for as a getaway!!! The host is awesome to communicate with. The property has amazing views and the island is so easy to navigate. The people are so nice and welcoming. Do not forget to see the TROLL, it is a sight to see. We will be keeping this on our list to return to.

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!

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.

Cozy waterfront retreat

This is a small cozy home that has all the essentials. It is beautiful and airy feeling, well decorated with an incredible view. The stairs down to the home are equivalent to 2-3 flights of stairs but not discouraging for those of able body. It is close to town and the neighborhood is quiet and serene. I was lucky enough to have multiple visits from deer and harbor seals, which was a welcome treat. The host was very friendly and communicative. Checking in and out was a breeze.

Practically Perfect in Every Way

I could not have been happier with my experience. When I opened the French doors of the cottage, it was like stepping into a dream. I came to the island to rest. Being beside the salt water and exploring only a fraction of the culture of the community was at once, enlivening and restorative. Barron was a clear communicator and an attentive, and gracious host. I’m looking forward to returning to this piece of heaven.

A Dream

This cottage is something out of a dream. What an amazing experience we had! My husband and I are very grateful we were able to spend our anniversary weekend there. Reading on the deck, cooking dinner together, and sleeping in were some of our highlights. The space has everything you need and everything you don’t. It’s simple and serene. We have a big family and a busy life, this place was the perfect reminder to breathe, reflect, and take the time to be present and enjoy the people you love the most. Thank you Barron for your hospitality and kindness! We can’t wait to come back!
