About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oceanfront Eco Cottage

Stay over the tides. Watch the sun rise across the water. Explore your private beach. Fish, crab, paddle or swim off the deck into Puget Sound. Hike off the property into old-growth Burton Woods. Bike the Burton loop. Walk 0.2 mile to Jensen’s Point for watercraft rentals. This is your off-the-road and over-the-ocean northwest island paradise. Please be sure to read the photo captions for helpful insights especially regarding our stairs access.

Our Oceanfront Eco Cottage is a rare solar-powered home built for two on pilings located on a private beach in Quartermaster Harbor on the Burton peninsula. A short walk down to the wrap-around deck will find you nestled in views and surrounded by wildlife.

Hear the water under you during high tide and beach comb the bounty of the Salish Sea during low tide. You will enjoy a large bay window with skylight over the water to the east, French doors that open onto the deck to the north, and a garden window to the south. The cottage sleeps up to four and features an organic mattress and linens. Chaise couch pulls out to a full size mattress in addition to the queen-size bed. The kitchen is fully equipped. We have a flat screen for use with dvd player and broadband wi-fi for high-speed internet access.

Our Oceanfront Eco Cottage is located on Vashon Island, where rural lifestyles (we don’t have any stop lights!) and natural wonders coexist a short ferry ride from urban pleasures in Seattle and Tacoma. Vashon Island hosts a vibrant arts community and many delights for the foodie (including May’s Kitchen, the best Thai in the region) and farm-fresh crowd. Vashon also has three vineyards, the historic Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, and destination Lavender Hill Farm. Vashon’s downtown is a few miles from the cottage, though our Burton neighborhood market and excellent espresso stand are within biking or walking distance.

Beyond relaxing on the deck and playing in the water, you can enjoy the Island’s extensive nature trails and bird watching (Quartermaster Harbor is an Audubon hot spot), a local cinema and a plethora of artist studios, live theater and live music.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Crow Beach. The holiday home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Magical cabin on the water

This place is truly a gem and I can’t believe how lucky we were to have found it. Adorable, cozy, clean, well stocked, wonderful host. We awoke the second morning to sun shining through the windows and reflecting off the water. The whole cabin was sparkling! Quiet and secluded. Exactly what we were looking for. Fell asleep in soft linens to the sound of the water lapping under the cabin. Ahhhh. Will certainly return.

The house was absolute perfection. The view is magic and there are windows everywhere letting in so much light. The sun and the rain were equally enjoyable and I hope to visit again soon. Thank you for the best weekend escape I have had!

Great little beachfront property. Small but clean. Expensive but quiet and peaceful. Definitely not for people with mobility issues. Couch bed was difficult to open and I am very handy. A bit overpriced but maybe off season is better?

peace by the water

The cottage is cozy, lots of light, right on the water. I startled a deer as I went down the path and nature continued to show me her children, heron, eagle, seal, seagulls shopping for a meal. The kitchen is very well supplied. Quiet, beautiful location. You can stay at the cottage or tour the island. Either way is delightful.

Little piece of heaven

This was our second stay at the eco cottage, both times to celebrate our summer wedding anniversary. This is the perfect spot to relax and connect, the scenery is breathtaking! The cottage has everything you need and is comfortable. We spent most waking hours on the deck or on the beach. Vashon island also has a lot to offer, hiking trails, beaches to explore, great coffee from the roasters. Host is friendly and easy to Communicate with. We’ll be back again for sure!

Lovely weekend

Barron's home is so comfortable and the location is really perfect—right on the water, and the trails in the woods across the street were fun to explore, too. The weather was on the cold and windy side, but the home was so cozy that we didn't care.

A Dream

This cottage is something out of a dream. What an amazing experience we had! My husband and I are very grateful we were able to spend our anniversary weekend there. Reading on the deck, cooking dinner together, and sleeping in were some of our highlights. The space has everything you need and everything you don’t. It’s simple and serene. We have a big family and a busy life, this place was the perfect reminder to breathe, reflect, and take the time to be present and enjoy the people you love the most. Thank you Barron for your hospitality and kindness! We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Cabin Stay on Vashon

We rented the beach cottage for my sister's wedding weekend and it was the perfect spot for my wife and I to stay! Such a great location right "on" the water. I jumped in the sound every morning to wake up. The cabin is cozy but was great size for us. Bed was comfy and deck chairs per perfect for watching the Perseid meteor shower late into the night!

The best local getaway

This place is magical. We were looking for a spot to unplug from the city for a while without having to travel far. We spent days cooking, exploring by foot, watching birds, seals, sea lions and other marine life, and of course drinking in the sun and the sea. The house was very well appointed, clean, comfortable, and had great beachy/waterfront vibes. Barron is an excellent host. He's kind, responsive, and seems genuinely grateful to share his special home by the harbor. We'll definitely be back—again and again.

Stay ON the Water

When the tide comes in, it’s literally under the cabin. Looking over the deck railing we saw jellyfish and even a seal. There were deer all over the island. This is a great place to stay if you love nature. Our host communicated everything we needed to know and was super friendly. The cabin is beautifully kept. It’s a tiny little place, but comfortable. Be warned that there are no shades or blackout curtains and the cabin gets the morning sun. The bed was very comfortable and we slept with all the windows open. The couch was not kind to our backs, but there are a couple of nice, soft chairs. We launched our kayaks at Jensens and paddled to the cabin where we were able to tie them to the bulkhead. Very handy. We were there for the 4th of July. Phenomenal. We paddled the kayaks around the point and hooked ourselves to one of the buoys. The fireworks launched right across from us and we had a completely unobstructed view. I had never been to Vashon Island before. Be prepared, it isn’t a tourist destination. There’s not a lot to do there. But like I said, the flora and fauna and spectacular. Two things in closing: One - travel light. Those steps are not fun. My husband hurt his foot on the way there, so I was tasked with carrying all the luggage and supplies down. I’m no spring chicken, so it was hard work and took 4 trips. That’s a lot of stairs. And two - don’t buy coffee filters. There are enough coffee filters in the cabinet to last a year.

Cozy waterfront retreat

This is a small cozy home that has all the essentials. It is beautiful and airy feeling, well decorated with an incredible view. The stairs down to the home are equivalent to 2-3 flights of stairs but not discouraging for those of able body. It is close to town and the neighborhood is quiet and serene. I was lucky enough to have multiple visits from deer and harbor seals, which was a welcome treat. The host was very friendly and communicative. Checking in and out was a breeze.
