About this property
KVI BEACH HOUSE STUDIO! Directly Above Vashon's Favorite Beach!
KVI Beach House Studio Apartment is directly above KVI Beach, (or Point Heyer), which is the heart and soul of Vashon! Facing the sun and Mt. Rainier, this light-filled studio has a private entrance, outdoor space with a BBQ, firepit, patio with furniture, and a gazebo-covered picnic table. Inside is a large-screened TV, full kitchen and bath with shower, dishwasher, W/D accessible, and lots of A/C. Just steps to the beach, SUPs and Kayaks are available for guests' use, it's the perfect place for a couple or family of 3 to spend time on fabulous Vashon Island!
Vashon is a sublime rural refuge set in a sea of urban development. So it is accessible to Seattle, Tacoma, and the Kitsap Peninsula by car or foot ferry boat only, and is a favorite summer destination for fishing, crabbing, beachcombing, clamming, art and music festivals. Our Strawberry Festival is in July.
Our studio sleeps 3, with a single couch bed and a queen in a large studio apartment with a private entrance and one parking space. There are black out curtains, A/C, available laundry, outdoor BBQ, outdoor camp stove, firepit, wood, view, picnic table, large screen tv, and an easy walk to KVI Beach, a sandy, driftwood beach locally known as KVI. Sealife abounds here. Guests have seen orcas, an elephant seal, seals, sea lions, jellyfish, numerous types of clams, geoducks, octopus, and of course eagles and raccoons, deer, and even an occasional coyote.
Vashon is a summer wedding destination so make sure to make your reservations in advance of Strawberry Festival or any weddings you may plan to attend.

About the host
Hosted by Nancy Bachant
Orginally from New York City, My husband and I moved to Vashon in 1978 to find a place looking at the mountains and sea. Vashon was perfect, accessible only by boat, the size of Manhattan but with only 11,000 people!
I love doing geneology, scrapbooks, and traveling. My husband is a retired geologist and I am a retired social worker. We met when I was a VISTA Americorp volunteer on a remote Indian Reservation in Nevada. We have adult children in the neighborhood.
I have triplet sisters and we are gold star daughters who travel to the French village of St-Gregoire and the city of Rennes, France, every few years to meet our village friends there who take care of our father's memorial and honor the sacrifice of the American soldiers who died there for their liberty.
We commemorate the liberation of Rennes on Aug 4, 1944 with them as their so-called "Sisters of Liberty."
We are proud and honored that the picture you will see hanging in the studio hallway of our father looking at his newly born daughters hangs as a permanent exhibit in the National World War II Museum's Liberation Pavilion.

Why they chose this property
KVI Beach and the Ellisport neighborhood is the heart and soul of Vashon. The Beach is alive all times of the year, from dog walkers to beachcombers, from clam diggers to sand dollar collectors! The kids love to go under the bridge during the incoming tide to collect hermit crabs, and during the summer there are many SUPs gliding around Tramp Harbor in front of the house. Kayaking is done all times of the year. Neighbors are friendly and we often meet up for drinks and sharing news from the island grapevine.
What makes this property unique
Each water view is different, and we have a 180 degree view of the East Passage, Tramp Harbor, Mr. Rainier, Maury Island, Portage, and we face the sunrise and have sun all day long( when the sun and mountain are out).
