Located on the prime Quartermaster Inner Harbor, overlooking the Yacht Club, with the best views on the Island.

Our Beachhouse, with huge deck and Greatroom layout, is perfectly suited for group enjoyment and relaxation. There are four bedrooms (three with king/queen beds and one with bunkbeds), two baths and a rec room downstairs with a ping pong table and queen futon.

The Greatroom has a large and cozy fireplace (pushbutton insert, the largest available) and large screenTV with Smart capabilities. Two separate seating areas accommodate 10 comfortably.

Huge windows. In Summer, watch the boats parade just in front. Quartermaster Yacht Club with it's sailboat-only (read: quiet) membership provide a serene backdrop to your barbeque or cocktails on the deck.

In Fall, weather stays warm through much of October, enough to enjoy the deck and dining alfresco. Witness the annual flock migrations as they fly by at eye level, and watch them dive for the rich bounty of the harbor.

In Winter, the view becomes dramatic. A roaring fireplace keeps everyone toasty while watching the storms roll in over the harbor. The best time of year for the hot tub:-)

High-speed internet for those working remotely, top-level Comcast speed. Lots of separate workspaces; two bedrooms have desks, an office area in the kitchen, and a kitchen table with the best view of all.

An open-concept demonstration kitchen, spacious and with views from every window, allows for lots of group cooking and entertaining. A gas high-BTU stove makes it easy.

Dining table accommodates 10 for dinner. The piano in the room ensures everyone is entertained!

The massive deck is the best of the house. Watch the boats navigate to and from the Quartermaster Yacht Club, as well as the marina, all day long. Surrounded by towering 200' trees, eagles and cormorants are amazing to watch. Very private, you cannot see neighbors and have your own private beach. A gas grill is provided for your use. Dock for your boat.

A state-of-the-art eight (8!) person Grandee Hot Springs Hot tub overlooks the harbor as well. Using silver-ion technology for cleanliness, it relies on bromine, for those with sensitivities and is completely sanitized between guests. It features a color-lightshow option for evening fun.

The Fourth of July Vashon Fireworks display, which rivals Seattle's, is shot from a barge anchored in the inner harbor, DIRECTLY IN FRONT of our deck. Definitely the best place for the 4th.

The Inner Harbor is calm and full of areas to explore. Two marinas, a Kayak Center, boat launch and park are all walking distance. We offer a rowboat and two stand-up paddle boards, as well as all sizes of life vests. Seals, herons, cormorants and a huge variety of crabs and clams are all there to observe and enjoy.

Vashon is rural country, but you can walk to the best General Store left in the county, Harbor Mercantile (The Burton Store), a gorgeous 10 minutes walk. Also walking, the friendly Burton Coffee Stand is across the street. The Burton Loop, with its renowned Kayaking Center, parks and summer camp, is also a walk away. You can flag-stop Metro buses at the front gate of the house, for a ride into Vashon, the ferry, Seattle or Tacoma. If you're driving, there is room for 4 cars.

In July and August, we have a 5-day minimum stay. Blackberries rule Vashon, and the sweetest and fattest come from this part of the island, everywhere you look. Recipes for ice cream, preserves, pie and sauces are in the cupboard, as is a terrific ice-cream maker. The sweet fragrance permeates the island!

    This was the perfect house for our girls weekend. Lovely view of the water & seals lounging in the sun. The house is spacious, well laid out and well appointed. Thanks for a lovely trip!

    This place is a beautiful getaway. The large table for meals, the nice bedrooms, the hot tub and the ping pong table were fun highlights. Vashon Island is sweet and we found some good hiking and kayaking here. The large sofas may need replacing soon-but the beds were really comfy.

    We had a wonderful stay at this property! The spacious table near the kitchen was perfect for board games and group meals, and we ended each evening relaxing on the balcony, taking in the breathtaking views and watching local wildlife. One of the highlights was renting kayaks nearby and spending a fun afternoon exploring the harbor. The only minor issue was the uneven stairs leading down to the property, but it didn’t take away from an otherwise fantastic experience.

    We had a wonderful time here. This was our second stay, which says a lot about our feelings about the house!BBQ, hot tub, tidal pools and ping pong. What's not to love I particularly appreciate a kitchen large enough for multiple people to work together. I expect we'll be back

    This spacious home has a mesmerizing view of the harbor and a good deck for entertaining, a large hot tub, high bank water access (and paddle boards we didn't get to make use of), a well-equipped kitchen and many games and books, comfortable furniture, an excellent fireplace, and a great location on Vashon. The owner, Suzanne, is extremely helpful and readily available. We did think the house might be ready for a little TLC and refreshing, but we loved our stay and hope to be back soon.

    Wonderful place, highly recommend. Spectacular view. Host was very helpful and responsive. The one issue I will note is that the Wi-Fi was barely fast/reliable enough for video Zoom meetings, in case you are thinking about working remotely, potentially an issue (but wasn't surprised by that).

    We enjoyed our time at this property. Suzanne was an excellent communicator. The island itself was the perfect mix of slow and peaceful but with enough to do for entertainment. The house is ok. A little run down but clean. The location was great. The dock and deck are unbeatable. We loved grilling, watching the sunset and the tides change. Overall we really enjoyed our stay on Vashon Island.

    The photos are great and still don't do the location justice - winding down on the porch overlooking Quartermaster Inner Harbor, grilling with friends, kids running around inside during the day - we love it, we'll be back for a 3rd time soon!

    My family and I had the best stay at your beautiful property on Vashon Island. We truly had the best of two worlds, enjoying the harbor paddle boarding with seals and otters, and watching eagles flying overhead. We also had the chance to barbecue and then explore two amazing national parks-Olympic and Ranier-where we saw a variety of wild life, including a black bear. My kids rented bikes and roamed the island, making stops for pop cycles by the side of the road. We also visited some classic tourist attractions like the Space Needle and watched the salmon swimming up the channel. The highlight was the spectacular 4th of July fireworks show right of the deck overlooking the harbor. It was an unforgettable display! Thank you for providing us with such a memorable experience. We left with many wonderful memories!
