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.

May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### A little misleading… The directions from GPS take you to the end of a dirt road. There are no directions on the VRBO site or in the emailed directions to explain that. I had to call the owner to finally get an explanation, which was to walk down a gravel path to the house. All four of us are over 75! Hauling our luggage and bags of food were not in our plans! The photos make the home look much bigger and more modern than it actually is. The heating system is funky and the downstairs bathroom was pretty but always cold. I’ve never been to a VRBO that didn’t supply at least one morning’s worth of coffee - had to go to the store the day we arrived! The upstairs deck and steps to the beach were covered in algae and too slippery to even try to walk on. We would have enjoyed sitting on the upper deck but it was too dangerous. Several shades were broken. The location - once you get to it - is lovely. ##### Janet C. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Candace Y. Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### 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. ##### Candace Y. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael S. Oct 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### 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. ##### Michael S.

Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Not so Zen First off, the listing should be more specific so that guests are well AWARE that this is a WALK IN property. I don't live on Vashon Island and we had no idea this was a walk in property. So after driving for 12 hours we then learn we have to wheel barrow all of our stuff, including wrapped Christmas presents in the dark, rain and wind. Also the house smelled really bad, just like someone was living there, not at all like cleaning products. Secondly, I sent a message to the property management asking them where we should park, BEWARE the parking sucks here and there are not even enough spots for all the cars that are there. Third, I sent the property management a message about how filthy the house was. The floors were dirty in every single area, corner, etc. The rug was covered in wood material from the fire place which was a mess as well. The sheets in the master bedroom had not been changed. You could clearly see where someone had slept in them, the pillow had wrinkles where they laid their head. So, we then had to wash the bedding. The couch was gross, it had dog hair all over it and stunk. We washed the blankets around the house to cover the couch in so that we would sit on it. Oh and the only TV is in the living room. They did not respond for 2 days and the response was that the house had been cleaned that day. Our reservation was through 1/1/25, we left a day early. We do visit Vashon a few times a year and we will NEVER rent from that rental company again. ##### Heather N.
