It is walking/biking distance to Island Center Forest, the town of Vashon, O-Space, Vashon Center for the Arts, and is 10 minutes from several beaches. Your dog is welcome with an additional deep cleaning fee. (We don't host cats due to allergies.)

Good location, fully equipped clean unit and excellent warm bedding. Kitchen, living and sleeping areas were great. But, blinds to cover double glass sliding door to balcony were stuck in fully raised position (no privacy). Called 24/7 contact numbers; no answer, left message and my call back number - no return call. Tiny 1 person bathroom with tiny corner shower was smaller than expected but functional. Would rate 4 stars if not for privacy issue.

Why they chose this property

The property was a strawberry farm until the late 1970's and the studio is in what used to be a farm building. The main house was built around 1890. I bought the property in 1995.
