Vashon Modern Beachfront Getaway: Pet & Family-Friendly with Stunning Views!

Bates Way Inside clean. Master Bedroom downstairs requires a chest of drawers for clothing. Or racks to place a suitcase on.

Comfortable We chose this rental because of its location right on the water. It did not disappoint. That said, while the living space was clean, it could use a thorough deep clean. Cobwebs with trapped dead bugs around the brick fireplace, ashes and wood particles on the mantle, the window in the downstairs bedroom was covered in film and dead gnats. One towel per person, no extras; no full length mirror; no comfortable seating on the front porch (bring your own chair); several spiders (bed, shower, kitchen) had to be escorted out. Other commenters mentioned the walk from the parking area - the rental is the first on the “boardwalk” in a long line of residences and has only a few steps to get to the front door - it was not a problem. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen well equipped. Others commented no spices, oils, etc. but we found them all to be there. Possibly a previous renter left them. We didn’t use the upstairs deck at all as it required going up and down the spiral staircase. We had difficulty lighting a fire. It would be helpful to have instructions for using the insert. Even though the flue was open (as best as we could tell) the fire would not stay lit. The main living area is a small one-room living, dining, kitchen, with the spiral staircase. It is very convenient to have a downstairs bedroom with en suite. The upstairs main bedroom with king has a stellar view of the sound and Gig Harbor. It was a short 10 minute drive to town and about 20 mins to the ferry dock.

Vashon Island house Pictures made the kitchen /living room area look larger than it was however, we enjoyed the house. The wood fireplace really heated the place up. Would be nice if there was some wood on hand for the fireplace. we bought several bundles from the store overall very enjoyable. We were happy to find the wheelbarrels to carry our items from where we parked to the house made it very simple.

New Year on the Water We enjoyed cozy fires and water life views in this unique beach house. Accommodations were perfect for my family! Lovely kitchen, loved the views from every room...even in mixed PNW weather. Best part was looking for shells, crabs, and seastars at low tide. Great place!

A well-equipped house with an unbeatable view We live on-island and had family in town so we booked this house on the water to accommodate everyone. This house was well-equipped for cooking insofar as cooking utensils. Be sure to bring your own necessities, like oil, salt, and sugar. It was very comfortable—beds and bedding—and there were climate controls in each room. You’ll want to buy some firewood in town for the crazy wood stove. Very clean. Amazing views. Great showers. We would stay here again.

How do I get In the Front Door?!?!?! What a horrible experience. There's nothing worse than dealing with people who make excuses and don't own up to their mistakes. Well maybe one of the things that is worse is traveling all day with young kids, nearing your destination, still not having heard anything about the entry process into your rental. Then arriving at your destination and being locked out for over an hour, all the while having hungry kids screaming. Check-in is at 4 PM, I started sending out messages around 3PM, and didn't hear anything until after 5PM. Once I actually spoke to the manager I was told "I thought I left the door unlocked." And in my inbox, I got another excuse: "I thought you were going to use the app to get in." Both of these EXCUSES are garbage. I'm not a psychic. How would I know how to get in if I didn't get a single message about it?!?! The place was clean and nice, but be prepared to bring all of your own cooking ingredients. There's no cooking oil or salt. Really... you can't provide some cooking oil or salt?!?! Just a horrible experience. Management is extremely poor.
