As amazing as this property is, so is the island of Vashon. It is a peaceful tranquil oasis in south Puget Sound just a short ferry ride from Seattle, Tacoma and the Olympic Peninsula. The Fauntleroy ferry in West Seattle and Southworth Ferry on the peninsula come in on the north end of the island. The Tacoma/ Point Defiance ferry lands in Tahlequah at the south end of the island. It is the largest island in Puget Sound south of the Admiralty Inlet, and only has a population of 11,000 people. It is 14 miles long from north to South. Quartermaster Harbor is a marine recovery area located between Vashon and Maury Island. The harbor itself is warmer than the rest of Puget Sound, so although it is cold you can easily swim, float and paddle board in the summer. It is a great place for bird watching. There is a bald eagle that lives near by and visits often, making swooping flights overhead. Due to the high concentration of shellfish and foraging fish in the harbor it is a major wintering area for 35 species of birds. 3000 individual birds winter here annually.

On the east side of Vashon Island is Maury Island, which is connected to Vashon Island through an isthmus (a narrow strip of land). The isthmus was built by residents in 1913. Prior to that time, Maury Island was only connected to Vashon Island periodically during low tide. Vashon island is also referred to as the Vashon-Maury island. Our cabin is on the SW corner of the Maury Island. It is around 20 minutes to Vashon Island downtown and shop, 30 mins to Fauntleroy Ferry and around 15-20 minutes to Tahlequah ferry

The Fauntleroy to Vashon Island ferry leaves West Seattle a few times an hour and more frequently during peak commute times. You can check the Washington Ferry schedule website for time tables. The ferry ride is about 18 minutes each direction and you only pay going to Vashon and the return trip is free. You can drive a vehicle on the ferry or walk-on.

During the summer on weekdays only you can take the Water Taxi directly to Downtown Seattle that lets you off in the Pioneer Square neighborhood. Hours are limited so be sure to check the schedule.

BBQ Grill Amenity Notice

A BBQ grill is provided as an amenity for guest use; however, we cannot guarantee whether a propane or charcoal grill will be available at all times.

If the propane tank is empty, guests are expected to use the charcoal grill as a backup. Because propane tank levels can be difficult to accurately determine and usage is unpredictable, we cannot guarantee that propane will always be available during your stay.

Please note that no compensation, refunds, or discounts will be provided if the propane supply is depleted. Propane tank refills are handled by a third-party service and may take up to two weeks to complete.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Located on the beach, this cabin is in Manzanita, a neighborhood in Vashon Island. Point Robinson Park and KVI Beach reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include Blue Heron Art Center and Vashon Center for the Arts. Check out an event or a game at Tacoma Dome, and consider making time for Wild Waves Theme and Water Park, a top attraction not to be missed. Kayaking, fishing, and swimming offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking nearby.
