Vashon, Washington
Happy to share our family's Vashon getaway with our guests.
Our place is a cozy 1,100 sf beach cottage on 50 feet of low bank waterfront/bulkhead. High tide puts water 4 feet from your windows and low tide allows for fun Puget Sound beach exploration. Our kids still love heading down to collect crabs and sand dollars.
We have two smaller bedrooms located upstairs. One with a Queen Bed the other a Full.
Main living space downstairs has what I'd call a "Sleeping Closet" that partitions off with an accordion door for privacy.
Kitchen is a smaller but fully furnished with nice cookware and has a full size dishwasher.
Key things to know about our spot.
- Access to the house features a lot of stairs so not a good fit for those who are mobility impaired.
- We only have TWO parking spots. It's important for guests to know this and not block driveways for our beach neighbors.
- Magnolia Beach is a uniquely Vashon community with a mix of year round residents and a big influx of seasonal 2nd homeowners. It's a fun tight knit community and during the summer, it is a regular occurrence for neighbors to take a social stroll along the bulkheads and seawalls. We've had a few guests who were surprised by this quirk so we want our listing to better describe the experience so those to who are seeking privacy above everything else can look elsewhere. On similar vein, we have a set of stainless steel stairs that give easy access to the beach. Those stairs are shared and occasionally used by our immediate neighbors. By contrast the winter is considerably less active and the vibe very serene.

We loved staying at this wonderful house. The views of the sound were wonderful. The house was clean, well Stocked and very comfortable.
This property is literally RIGHT on the water and has great views. It’s very clean, comfortable, well maintained and the 2 chairs in the main living area are decadent to sit and watch the water and talk. There are a lot of stairs to navigate from the place you park your car to get down to the house so heavy or large baggage can be tricky. Fantastic spot and well worth it once you get unpacked!
What a jewel! The cabin and location can’t be beat. Friendly neighbors, well equipped kitchen, stunning view and hosts who quickly respond to any question. We hope to return for a much longer stay.
Great place on Vashon Island. Home was in great shape. House was right on the water. It was very well supplied and easy to access. WE visited with our son, daughter-in-law and young grandson. Suzanne, the owner, was very accommodating. I would happily stay here again.
We were celebrating our sons birthday and this was the perfect place to do so! Great to have access to the water, kayaks, and sunrise.
relaxing. well appointed kitchen.
The Magnolia Beachfront Home was a safe harbor during a really crazy time. The owners were able to accommodate our last-minute request to stay while repairs were made to our house. It was delightful to watch the duck swim by and the seals lounge on the swimming platform in the middle of the inlet. The house is a cozy little A-frame with all the amenities you need.
A fantastic property with amazing views. Very well stocked with everything we needed. The steps down didn’t put us off, although wouldn’t want to tackle them in winter conditions. Would highly recommend.
The house was super comfortable, with amazing views. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to cook for our weekend. As others have noted, there is a long, steep stairway from the parking spot to the front door. Not a problem for us but could be problematic if you're carrying a bunch of luggage or have limited mobility.
if I was younger and could climb 75 stairs 2-3 per day, I would stay here again. don't let that stop you - it was an excellent play to stay...summertime would be ideal. Oh, they don't have cable tv, and the 50 stations they do have pixeled in and out constantly. wifi is good (they DO have wifi - update your info) .....Overall I would stay here again if I was younger. thanks so much!!
Great property to be on the water and be a part of Quartermaster Harbor!
Loved this place! Two friends and I stayed here for the weekend and we each said that we would come back with our families. The living area is spacious, the kitchen had everything we wanted, the rooms were clean, and we appreciated the flexible and smooth check in. The bedrooms are cozy, and the mattresses and pillows were very comfy. The outdoor dining table is a great touch. And the location is just perfection: Quiet, remote but close to the downtown shops, and so lovely. There are plenty of steep stairs down to the property, so stay vigilant and I recommend checking in before dark. They were fine for us, but would be a challenge for someone with mobility issues. We were told we would have two parking spots, and although one was being used by an out of town neighbor, the owners' property managers next door were super friendly and helpful and it ended up being no problem. I sat outside both mornings and watched two of the most beautiful sunrises over the water that I've ever experienced.
Ever wonder what it would be like to have a waterfront home? This is it! This home has everything; SUP boards, kayaks, barbecue, windows galore and a fully stocked kitchen. We loved walking on the beach during low tide, chatting with friendly neighbors and just relaxing.
The most well stocked VBRO I have ever rented. Super clean. The steps are no joke. Neighbors super friendly.
An absolutely lovely beach house! It had everything we needed and wanted. We loved the front wall of windows to look out at the water, I definately could have sat there all day. It was the perfect size for the 4 of us, the bedrooms were so cute and cozy, although you do need to watch your head on the ceilings upstairs. The only downside to this property (for us) was the stairs down to the house. They are steep, and there is a lot of them, but we were fully aware and knew about them from the description the owners had. They wouldn't stop us from staying here again, but be cautious if you have an older person staying with you (My mom is in her 70's and was having a bit of a harder time) or have knee problems. If you are staying on the island, be sure to look into the ferry prices if you have to take them frequently to Tacoma, we were a little shocked the 1st ride... but they are fun and a great experience. Thank you for allowing us to experience the tranquility and relaxation of the Magnolia Beach house... next time I hope the weather cooperates and we can get the kayak and paddleboards out!
We loved our stay at Magnolia Beachfront House! It was the perfect place for a quiet & relaxing weekend. We had a wonderful time exploring the wineries, breweries, shops, and other things Vashon Island has to offer. Can't beat the gorgeous view of Puget Sound from the entire cottage! Very clean and well appointed. Highly recommend, would stay here again!
