Amazing house with modern facilities and excellent location. Someone else has said this before in their review of the house; the house is better than the photos.

This place was amazing. So well appointed, everything you could need in the kitchen, so wonderfully quiet and the view was beautiful. Beds were very comfortable. It had everything we could possibly need. The host was easy to get in touch with. The staircase from the parking area is very modern and has gripper/non slip surface, but yes there are 90 stairs (but several landing areas to rest if necessary).Hope to return in the future!

Adorable beach cottage that exceeded our expectations. It was better in-person than the photos. The kitchen nook was the best place to hang out in the house when the weather was chilly. And the bunk room had so many cozy beds! It is a haul down all the stairs but they’re well-built and very sturdy.

Great property to stay at for the weekend. Had an amazing time relaxing on the deck and the host was very helpful when the check in instructions didn’t populate!

We had a wonderful trip out to Vashon Island and loved our stay at Sunset Shores! The views were beautiful morning and night. We enjoyed dinners on the deck and fires down by the water. Kids loved the attic bedroom and playing on the shoreline. Would love to come back!

Perfect water view

Our family of 9 were very comfortable. We most enjoyed the deck over looking the water

The house was lovely and the set up was great for our small group of 4. There are lots of beds, but only one shower. And while there are 2 toilets, the upstairs bathroom has a slanted ceiling and it’s hard to stand up straight in the bathroom. The upstairs loft area has the most space, but no door so privacy isn’t guaranteed. The kitchen is well stocked and the deck space is great. One thing to note though is that if you’re looking for privacy, this is not the place for you. The neighbors are VERY close and you can hear each other quite easily. Overall, we really enjoyed the views and Vashon. We would rent the house again, but I wouldn’t recommend for a larger group.

Perfect for groups

Great beach house with space for 2 families and close to town. Beware there are a lot of stairs down to the home, but it is stated so on the site. Stairs are sturdy and have handrail. No problem for us.

Great Location!

The house is over the water and the views are magnificent. Be aware that you must climb 90 steps down to the house and up from the house to parking. The kitchen is very well-stocked and the living room is a good size. Two of the three bedrooms are very small and the third bedroom is dorm-room style with five beds. The full bath and half bath are small. This house is really about the fabulous location.

Beautiful and serene

We were a group of 7 (4 adults & 3 kids). This home is in a beautiful location and close to town. When we arrived however, the house had not been cleaned from the previous guests. We were able to reach the host very quickly and the situation was resolved. Although it made us waiting even longer to check-in and change our dinner plans. Overall, though we would book this home again, since I am sure this was a very rare occurrence. I would like to note, like other reviews, there are quite a few stairs and hauling your stuff up and down them will definitely up your daily step count. ;)

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the cleanliness of the place upon your check-in. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we're truly sorry for any frustration this may have caused. We hope the $200 we provided to you so you could grab dinner while the cleaners cleaned was acceptable. Please know that we take your comments seriously, and we've already taken steps to address this issue with our cleaning team to ensure that such lapses don't happen again in the future. We appreciate your understanding and your valuable feedback, as it helps us improve and deliver a better experience to our guests.

Amazing views!

We had a great weekend here celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday. Th cabin is great and super beach-y and the views are outstanding. The only downside is the stairs down to the cabin but it’s totally worth it! We hope to come back soon!

Wonderful stay with waterfront and excellent view

We had an incredible stay in this adorable cabin with amazing waterfront view and would definitely rebook for another visit. We were a family of 5. Our teenagers happily used the loft/dormitory. The owner was welcoming and checked in to make sure we had what we needed. The only things I would point out is that it's a good set of stairs down to the cabin from the parking area. I'm glad my elderly parents did not join us. Also, there is just one shower for the cabin, which was fine for our group, but maybe not for a larger group. Overall, we loved our stay and enjoyed spending time on Vashon!

A Vashon Best!

Wow, could have stayed here all summer. Most amazing setting with waterfront location. House was very clean, nice linens, comfortable bed, nice clean newer furniture, attention to detail all around. Will expect to see this place on a VRBO commercial soon. Clear communication with host, no surprises, will be back for sure!!!
