Lovely stay

We had a short girls getaway. The cabin is situated in a small quiet harbor. Very calm and quiet. We loved taking daily walks on the beach and relaxing on the large deck. The beds were decently comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

The cabin is about 30 feet above the water - you can easily walk down to the beach. It is profoundly quiet and very private. The huge front deck is to die for. There are a number of old trees around it that don't block the view much, but give shade and also allow lots of birds to surround you. The view is wonderful. The cabin is clean, and has everything we needed. Bedrooms are a bit small, but you'd want to hang around with the panoramic view in the front room anyway.We can't say enough about the hostess. We had one minor issue when we got there. We contacted her, and she was working on it immediately, and didn't let up until it was solved.We visited toward the end of August. Really wonderful. We will be back.About the wildlife... Don't forget binoculars. We were there for maybe 5-10 min when an osprey plummeted into the water and came out with a fish. Saw the osprey 3-4 more times in the next couple of days. Also saw harbor seals every few hours. Lots of the birds you'd expect - cormorants, grebes and gulls in the water, chickadees and juncos on land. Towhees. There are a lot of nuthatches around - they were really fun to watch going up and down the tree bark - some within 10 feet of where we were standing. We did see a kingfisher once. Also creepers, house finches, etc. You get all this sitting on the deck!

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
We (Mark & Jessica) married and bought the Kingfisher Cabin in the same year. It was a crazy time but we wouldn't change a thing. We love being able to share our beach hideaway and introduce others to Vashon.

Why they chose this property

Jessica's mom grew up on Vashon Island and that is where her parents met. She spent many summers visiting relatives and exploring the island and is happy that her family gets to continue the tradition in their own beach cabin.

What makes this property unique

The Kingfisher Cabin is located on a quiet beach and is surrounded by trees. We almost named it the tree house. The view from inside the cabin or out on the large deck is beautiful. No matter the weather - the water makes it better.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
